You Know You're From Canberra When...

You run into someone who is related to your 2nd cousin. Everyone's related to everyone. You are running late for work yet you still arrive before 9am. You can see your breath in front of you at 7:30pm INSIDE THE HOUSE. You can't walk through a mall without greeting 10 aquaintances. You NEVER go to the coast. You whine about having to travel 30 minutes to see someone. Your friends won't travel 30 minutes to see you because they think its too far. You travel from Tuggers to Belco to have people say "Gosh, you're a long way from home. " Glow in the dark bowling becomes an appealing past time. The Govt invites you to implosions as a "Family fun day". The highlight of your Wednesday evening is seeing Garema Place come up on the The Panel on #10 You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends from Canberra.
