来澳洲这么多年了，发现CULTURE SHOCK还是经常莫名其妙的出现。
今天办公室SYSTEM CRASH了，大家没事儿干坐着聊天。有人提到以前的同事，XXX，几个人哈哈大笑，说，那是个怪人。我很是好奇，记得XXX是个信基督的中东小伙，挺nice的，没觉得他哪里奇怪。于是几个小孩儿七嘴八舌的告诉偶，有一次他们看到XXX中午吃饭的时候把领带甩在肩膀上，就问他怎么了。XXX说刚才洗手的时候不小心把领带弄湿了，怕冰凉的领带贴着肚子会胃痛，就把领带甩肩膀上了。几个人说到这里哈哈大笑，“Don't know what's in his head. A wet tie causes stomachache!"
偶看看他们，说，其实偶们中国人也相信这样的。然后一桌子的人无语。。。
又聊了一会儿，另外几个人走过来，说，"You guys won't believe what we just saw!"
"What?"
"XXX was clipping her nails at her desk."
"What? No way she's doing that."
"Yes she did. In front of her waste bin."
"F***. That's disgusting! She'd better got all of them into her bin."
偶都听愣了。从没听过他们的嘴里蹦出过F***的，尤其说话的这个男孩还是catholic school 出来的，平时说话最nice的一个。但是以前中午有女孩拿小挫子挫指甲他们好像没说过啥啊。。。不懂。
因为不懂，所以才shock??? 不懂。
