Expat Life

“Toto, I’ve a feeling We Are Not in Dayton Anymore.”

One of the things I love most about living in a new culture is recognizing the similarities and appreciating the differences. This post is about some of the differences I find so fascinating. I learn something everyday and I will continue to add new and interesting pictures that I come across in my everyday life.

When you look at these signs and products,  you will know for sure that you are not in Dayton, Ohio.

1. Vitamin Supplements?

2. Lady Bay Beach

Lady Bay Beach is a private little nudist beach, apparently one of the best around. I was a little surprised when Tim and I stumbled upon it during one of our Saturday hikes. Nothing like this in Dayton!

3. This is a sign I saw in a public restroom.

Some things just should not have to be explained.

Really, who does this?

4. Definitely no Bandicoots in Dayton, Ohio!

5. And of course, Vegemite!

It’s made of brewer’s yeast extract, various vegetables, and other additives. I’ve heard it’s an acquired taste – one that I have not yet built up the courage to try. There is also a gluten-free alternative called Mightymite if you’re interested. 🙂

6. Pure Australian Air sold in aerosol cans.

I guess it’s like Florida sunshine in a can.  But no, you can not find this at my favorite Krogers in Dayton.

    I am still laughing! What a delightful post. Now, tell me the truth. Did you and Tim closely investigate the nudists-welcome beach? Make any new friends there?
