  1. In Australia, we used to have garbage disposal units, but after several years, they were banned. I guess the government learned the hard way that they’re too expensive for Australia’s conditions.

  2. We have both tap systems in Australia, it’s personal choice. Our home has both, a single tap in the kitchen and the shower, and two taps everywhere else. The water temperature can be controlled by the home owner, so ours is set to medium hot, so we don’t scald ourselves. With one tap, if the person who last used it, used hot water, and you come along and want a glass of cold water to drink, you have to let the hot water drain away from the pipes before you can get your cold glass of water. That wastes water in Australia where we suffer years of drought and can’t afford to waste any! Having the two taps means you can get a glass of water without waiting. Also the bath has two taps, one hot, one cold, so you can run both until it’s perfect for you.

  3. Oh! One more thing! In Australia, the floor that’s at ground level is called the Ground Floor. The level above that is the first floor, and then the second floor and so on. This applies to all buildings in Australia including sky scrapers. So when you come Down Under, the Lifts (Elevators) will display G 1 2 3 4 5
