10. You realise asphalt is a liquid state.

11. Farmers are feeding chickens ice to prevent hard boiled eggs.

12. The trees are whistling for dogs.

13. Shopping Centres are temples where you worship Air Conditioning

14. Sticking your head in freezers is considered normal

15. A cup full of ice is considered a great snack

16. A blackout is life threatening because the air con and fans stop working.

17. You keep everything in the fridge, including clothing

Everything is worse except keeping drinks cold.

I keep my Mt.Dew in the garage so that when I open it, it will turn to a slushy.

Technically, those would be venomous.

They could always copy that town where everyone lives underground, and start digging. Well, unless that disturbs the venomous giant spiders or something.

I really wanted to visit that underground town when I toured around Australia many years ago, but my travel pal had other priorities.
