Only in Australia will your neighbors call you at 5:30 AM to see if loud noises in the hall are coming from your apartment, and when you confirm they aren't, invite you over for a beer, "since you seem to be awake anyway."
I'm a native New Yorker, living in Sydney, with manners taught in Texas (the accent only comes out when I've had a little bit to drink). I can say "I like ice cream" in several languages, but little else (although I'm learning "where is the Embassy" is also a good one to know.) I have a serious weakness for chocolate-chip cookies.
