EP 69 Thongs

In this episode we talk about clothing culture in Australia, and not just any clothing. We're talking about thongs. It might raise an eyebrow but can you guess what type of clothing thongs actually are? Oriana and I talk about an unusual cultural behaviour in Australia and why this might have come about. We also talk about vocabulary you might need to know of when shopping for beach and swimming related clothes in Australia. You will learn words like: boardies, budgie smugglers, togs and cozzy. And at this time of the year we can't go past talking about the issues related to Australia Day. What do you think about this? Do you think it should change? Do you think it should stay the same? Why? Do you know of other similar debates in other countries with controversial public holidays?
