Bubbly

Obviously, not all of my posts have directly relate to me being a nanny but rather just my experience in Sydney. I wanted to make it clear that this is one has nothing to do with nanny life. I don't condone drinking on the job ;)

Before life in Aussie, I only sipped champagne on New Year's Eve or for some sort of celebratory occasion. Here, bottles pop open anytime, any place. No special reason. No toast. Just because.

This can be very exciting to a newbie like me but also very dangerous. Since I am only used to drinking small amounts of champagne, I never realized how hard it can hit you. After a few glasses, I was already giggly and letting wildly inappropriate things fly out of my mouth. To top it off, I woke up with quite a headache the next morning.

So yeah, whether to celebrate or for no good reason at all, beware of the bubbles. Beware of a culture where drinking bubbles anytime is acceptable. Or, you can pop the top and welcome this phenomenon with open arms.
