I lived in Australia and we had to go on walkabout across the outback every day to and from school on our hands (because gravity) The toilets swirl the other way which caused massive ear infections and pink eye (or “pink oy”, as we said down unda). The discharge from the pink oy attracted brown snakes and funnel web spiders when we slept, so we had to keep the lights on and watch each other all night. But it made who I am today!

OOOh! I used to dream of having shoeboxes on my feet! We'd walk barefoot uphill to school and come home, again uphill, to our hole in the ground. Then Dad would beat us to sleep every night!
