Since we migrated here in March last year, I've noticed lotsa differences between the Msian and Aussie way of life.
Sure, you have the standard shops closing at 5 pm vs 10 pm, eating out is expensive, they have 4 seasons vs humid all-year-round, labour is expensive, everything is freaking expensive!
BUT today, I received a mail from Sydney Water - on water restrictions! What's that you ask!? Well, Australia in general is a commodity-based economy, and one of the commodities is agriculture. And because the country suffers from large bouts of drought (when it rains, everyone jumps for joy!?!), there are water restrictions imposed.
Anyway, the mail was a reminder on restrictions for watering plants. IF the plant is NEW, then you can water them with a hose for 28 days, must have trigger nozzle. Also, it can only be done BEFORE 10 am or AFTER 4 pm. In cheesie's words... What Turf!? No information provided on process for watering not-so-new plants!
The other thing, this news article from the Sydney Morning Herald... again, What Turf?!!??!
