Share your funny experiences as a new migrant to Australia

I can certainly remember a few!

I pulled into a Manual Cash Wash station.  A$8 to A$10, ok lah.  Cannot compare to Singapore's cheap labour S$3.  In Singapore, we have the Banglas lined up systematically washing each car and here I had been waiting 10 minutes already ... still no one came.  I then realized, Manual Car Wash means you wash the car YOURSELF!  Alamak, still got to pay so much.  I miss my maid!

The word "ta" is commonly used by Ozzie friends and the cash out chicks.  I was wondering why they keep telling me "bye bye" even before I could finish what I want to do or say.  Ooohh, ta means thank you!

I wasn't used to people calling me "Love" too but now I kind of like it! ;-)

I can't stand it at first when I have to say and listen to "How r'ya" so many times a day.  Some do not seem so sincere anymore.  They speak as though they have a barb wire clamped on each side of their jaw!  More and more, I find myself using the OZ terminology occasionally mixed with some Singapore slang, which drives them just as crazy.  "I need to do a U-e lah"; "Let me have my breakkie first, ok or not?";  "Alamak, I am becoming spoofier!"

Tell me a few funnies, ok?
