Catching a bus from our hotel in Anaheim to Disneyland ,
I had this conversation with the bus driver as I tried to pay an $8 fare with a
$20 note:
Bus Driver: “I can’t give any change for that – where are
you folks from?’
Me: “We’re from Australia
– doing our first trip to Disneyland .”
BD: “Australia
BJ: “Right…we have quite a few. Would you like me to guess?”
BD: “ANGUS!!!” (other passengers now starting to look a bit perplexed by the delay.
BJ: “Oh – I haven’t heard of an Australian band called
Angus.”
BD: “Angus Young, Bonn
And that is just the beginning of many weird and wonderful conversations you'll have!
ReplyDeleteYep - we've certainly had a few more since. But the people are fantastic and very helpful. I've just posted a second weird conversation. Although I could have also posted this conversation from inside the RV, driving out of San Diego:
Delete(After a long period of silence, we passed a pretty serious accident on the Freeway)
Fiona: "That could have been us the way you're driving!!"
Ben: "Sorry darling, have I missed something...?) (Gee I hope Uncle Trebs' fed Ex package turns up soon. I'd rather take my chances with a gasper and an Arizona Desert Rattler..!).
