Buggerlugs!

I've always wanted to visit Australia. Some day. I hear they do things different down under:
  • Almost every toilet has two flush buttons, one for a "half flush" (often really a 2/3) for #1 and a full flush for #2.
  • Australia uses 240v and all plugs must have a tiny switch on the plug to disable it to avoid sparks when plugging things in and out.
  • In Victoria and South Australia, there was a massive campaign on the highways against sleepy driving, with signs literally every few miles asking sleepy drivers to pull over, and free coffee for drivers at most roadside stops.
