<div><font face="Arial" size="2">Good day, Mates. My best friend is leaving tonight
for Brisbane for orientation and then Melbourne for to study abroad for four
months/one semester at Trinity College. I've been listening to the Australian
ABC to catch any pieces of uniqueness that I could, but I thought I'd put it by
the list. What are some of the differences, major and minor, between the
different areas of Australia? What are some of the slang words that people that
would be at her college might use? I noticed that they use orange traffic lights
where Americans have red lights. I also was startled to hear their pronunciation
of the word that stands for the letter h. here in North America we say aitch.
I've heard is other way from my Indian friends, but I heard it on an ABC podcast
the other day where they use haitch in Australia. What's the origin of this?
Sorry if I'm a bit long-winded, but it's been a tough week.</font></div>
