Sorry TK but you don't have a SchoolBox photo yet :( Instead, we used a smiley face

Adrienne: The students are very friendly and the staff are very welcoming! TK: The infrastructure and people. Wait, not the people, the students. Joe: The students and the facilities. Adrienne: In general, the staff and students are the main highlight. Adrienne: You guys have a lot of slang that I don't understand. TK and Joe: Yeah, it's hard.

What do you like about Somerset?

What surprised you most about Australia?

Adrienne: Our families. TK: The food. Joe: Yeah, our families, and the food.

What do you miss most from your home country?

Have you ever had a Bunnings snag? ;) TK and Joe: What's that? Adrienne: Oh, that's a sausage right? TK, Joe and Adrienne: Haven't tried it yet. Now for some Australian slang! What does it mean when Australians say:

Adrienne: It's when you call in sick. Joe: You watch Margot Robbie. Adrienne: No, I haven't.

Chuck a sickie (Calling in sick)

Adrienne: Chunder? (They had no clue)

Chunder (Vomiting)

TK: Spill the beans? Joe: I have no clue what that means.

Spit the dummy (Throw a tantrum)

Joe: Chocolate biscuit? Us: Yeah!

Choccy biccy (Chocolate biscuit)

Adrienne: Isn't that a ute? Joe: No, no, it's when you do a U-turn.

Chuck a u-ey (Do a U-turn)
