So, I found some pictures from my trip that I simply have to share with you. To me, they represent everything my trip was about. And, of course, my sense of humour. XD

The first is of the chips -- not Crisps, but 'French Fries' [Aka Freedom Fries, lol!] that are so wierd to me, hehe. They taste different, too. And then the chips in England taste different from that. Pluss, it looks different, hehe.

Anyway, these are Venice Beach chips. The guy who served us at the counter actually asked mum out, hehe! He was like, "We could go out for dinner sometime?" [He was indian or something -- I'm not sure, but he wasn't a native English speaker.] and Mum got flustered and she's like, "Well, actually we're just tourists and we're on a flight in 3 hours, so I'm sorry."

Thus, these are the 'dating Mum' [Or Mom, in the US.] chips.




The second is, of course, a picture of the toilet flushing. As a self-respecting Australian who's seen The Simpsons, I just couldn't resist!

Actually, it does kind of highlight the differences, since in Australia, you can't actually see which way the water swirls when it flushes. Different kind of piping or something.



And, finally, the picture from a place called Forbidden Corner, in England. Its a really cool place; I'll tell you about it some other time. Anyway, this was a 'gravestone' there.

And on the gravestone was a picture of breasts, and this was the inscription, hehe.



If you can't read it, it says;

A canny lass
On any day
Shame she had
To pass away.
ERECTED
by the lads

*cough* Ahem. Yeah.

Anyway, on another note, I'm annoyed at work because they only gave me 8 hours this week. Originally it was going to be 10.5, but they'd given me a shift on Monday which I'd specifically asked for off, so they revised it and gave me 2 hours on boxing day and took the 4.5 hour shift on Monday off...

Having a job but not working is the pits.

Mayble I'll go look for a job that will actually give me work, lol. XD
