"Aussie" stuff
« on: November 17, 2010, 03:02:13 pm »

Okay so I'm studying in Germany over the summer (well, their winter) and it'll be with a small group of students from countries all over the world.

The university running the course has asked that we bring "stuff that's typical from your country" to show the others on their "multicultural evening".

What are some things I could bring? I'm definitely going to bring Vegemite and make everyone taste it :angel: but that's all I can think of. Please help!

NB: it needs to be able to go through customs, obviously

I had a similar thing with the Japanese exchange students at my school~
My class ended up bringing party pies, vegemite sandwiches, tim-tams, those circular rice cakes with flavouring on them.
I guess you could throw in an AFL ball and a few boomerangs here and there o_o

a simple recipe for lamingtons or anzac biscuits. they'd probably go down well, and you can surely get what you need over there.
a football.
video of mr. squiggle or play school - could start a convo about the sort of children's
tv your class mates had when growing up.
learn how to play the gum leaf - you could simulate it on something shiny and flexible when you get there.

Must be VB

Bring a mini cricket bat (a normal one will count as too much weight!) - I had a German exchange student come over for a week (last year) and she was bamboozled by me and my brother playing cricket in the local park.
