G'day folks, we made it through the first day, went to dizzyland (no not a place all about distributors, although that would be cool) and are somewhat underwhelmed (sorry can't be bothered to spell check, I'm on holidays) anyway, you where right a somewaht lame place with ordinary food and no BEER but we are in a group and the group decision was to go to Mickeys place. However the staff where very friendly and helpful but it is a place for younger kids but the boys loved the tech zone, my daughter liked the pirates of the Caribean ride and they got some groovy souvenirs. Guess it is just the way it worked out.. We went to Dennys for breaky and learned that grits is porridge and that they take service seriously in this country, the coffee cup ran out but Gilbert refilled the cup without asking, so the tip was 10% (as per wonlko instructions). There are a few things we have to get our heads around, like the pedestrian traffic signals but hopefulyy we'll survive, tomorrow we are doing a universal studios and LA by night tour. Some of my first impressions are that in the main, the people in Oz and US are pretty similar, in the way they act and dress (yes we have a few of those straight cap wearing hard boyz)and the cars are not as big as I thought they would be. Sure there are a few things that stand out between our cultures but it is kinda scary how much we are alike but it is early days, I have lived in various parts of Oztralia so I have some idea of how diverse our country and i would imagine that the US of A is the same. Anyway it's bed time, typing is getting harder the more St Paulis I have..........
