I noticed that in buses here, there are only 3 or 4 buttons to alert the driver you want to get out at the next stop. This means you have to ask one of the other passengers to push the button for you.
Since Australians come from English and north European stock, the idea of interacting with a stranger horrifies us, so buses are equipped with buttons at every seat.
Of course traffic here also involves the potential of close personal contact, but that is another matter.

Trust you enjoyed your tours of Rome and the comforts of Domus Australia. Do they have wi-fi? Elaine
ReplyDeleteSo what do you choose to call those who don't look either of British or Northern European stock who are walking around the street here? As an Australian, I am not adverse to close personal contact.. It just depends on who it happens to be.
