Canadiana, eh?

While waiting for the animal shows at the Zoo, the MC warming up the crowd asked for volunteers to do an imitation of Steve Irwin (the Aussie who wrestles crocodiles and whose pet phrase is ‘Crikey’). A young Canadian named Matthew volunteered. His imitation was ‘Crikey, eh’. The MC got the Canadian reference and laughed. Cute kid, eh?

Also met a Canadian girl on the tour bus today – she’s from Vancouver and had been working and touring around Australia for the last nine months. She had been sorting bananas and said it was the hardest job she ever had – hard work but good money.
