Just wondering

Posted 2007-05-07 20:22:35 | Comments (2)

I'm just wondering....
If I say "i'm going to canada in summer" today, what do people in Australia think? Would they think I'm going to canada around July or December?

I know it is a super small question but can't stop wondering!!

It depends on your point of origin ;> If a person in the Northern hemisphere said that, then I would assume they meant their summer - July. However, I know a lot of Australians, who don't work in a global situation, would immediately assume December!

hmmm, that's interesting! how nice it is that they can assume I meant July. but if I hear anyone says summer, I would soon assume July... thanks for your reply :)
