Today in class we discussed cultural differences. We looked at the original song "Waltzing Matilida", and the australians were to interpret what it meant, and then we looked at the Star Spangled Banner...and the american interpreted that. It turned into a "war". The Canadian was angry with the australians for disagreeing with him, and the australians were angry at him for being such a prick. Most of the americans wisely kept quiet...in fact, they were so quiet, they let the australians interpret the Star Spangled Banner for them...HAHAHA! This caused a riot with the canadian, not sure why. The lecturer finally said, "THis is not a war, here!" and an older australian piped up and answered, "YES IT IS!"

So what is the moral at the end of the story? Don't get into cultural differences in a class that has an even split of australian and americans...and DON"T (whatever you do) add that extra combustible element of the Canadian. (in case you have been to Avondale, the combustible canadian was Justin...aka C.)
