Interesting anecdote living in Sydney Australia. I'm from Canada, and was speaking to a friend who moved here from the UK. Going to work here people say "what did you do this morning?" seems like a strange question in most other places I've lived as the answer would be "I brushed my teeth and stumbled into work", but here, everybody is out doing something in the morning. Running, swimming, surfing, apparently even shopping. A very different beast in deed.
- HenryMc 13y agoI recently moved to Melbourne from Christchurch, NZ. I've been living pretty close to the freeway to the CBD, and it surprises me how early in the morning traffic starts building. Two days a weeks I have to be up by 6:30, and by that time there are already traffic jams. I wonder whether because of the warmer climate, people don't have such a problem with getting up early. In a Christchurch winter (I'm sure it's the same in most of Canada) it will certainly be below 0°C at 6:30. The record low for Melbourne city is only -2.8°C, versus -7.1°C for Christchurch.
