Also, Aussie's and New Zealander's have different accents.Robynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11040315177136935620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5387778566526841808.post-3861220546664106532017-04-10T16:01:17.046-05:002017-04-10T16:01:17.046-05:00Where were they?

Why do they do that?<br />I also think it wasn't polite for Kelly to refer to driving on the 'wrong' side of the road when over there. It's the correct side of the road in that country. Just say the left OR right side of the road. Not cool. They should have asked some of the older children about where Australia is and what language they speak. The little girls wouldn't have necessarily needed to know that yet.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5387778566526841808.post-66371357534618135432017-04-10T07:56:11.581-05:002017-04-10T07:56:11.581-05:00I know!
