Above are a group of aussies that really made Ios a memorable experience. They were crazy, fun, hilarious girls... this is me with em on their last nite in Ios. They taught me how to properly speak Australian...while laughing at my Canadian.

JIF - Heres the thing with Australian.. its really just sloppy english.. yes ..yes.. sure it sounds nice and musical and is very dreamy.. but it doesnt really use the English alphabet properly. One of the biggest trends i noticed was the absence of ANY soft Rs in the middle of words. For example... Mark is pronounced MAAWK, Melbourne is pronounced MELBIN, Cart is pronounced CAAWT...or something like that. I did get attached to a lot of Australian slang though.. such as.. "I reckon" instead of "I think", and the great term "full on" which means.. well.. full on.... Far oooot man... Posted by Picasa
