Ok, So we've got the TV series LOST here now, my partner and I have become strangely addicted to the show. It took me a while to get over the "bullshit" factor and now I'm happily watching without cringing every few seconds. We're only up to episode 6 (I think) but being the computer nerds we are, we've been downloading the episodes two at a time and have now reached episode 18 (Can't seem find 19 anywhere on the net. . .)

As I've been lazy with my "Lost in translation" Lessons, I thought I'd use my new LOST addiction as a basis for Lesson 3. . .I can't have you believing all that miss-information now can I. . .

• They're not called drapes here, they're curtains.
• Mothers don't get to meet or choose possible adoptive partents before the birth. There is no payment involved here.
• We drive on the left side of the road so natrually the cars would be parked on the left aswell.
• We don't call them lofts here. . .I don't even know what a loft is. I think it may mean Studio-appartment, or bed-sit. Please feel free to reply and fill  me in on this one.
• Most of the scenes supposedly in Australia, don't look like Australia at all. . .We have different houses and yards. . .Don't know why I can just tell.
•  Most "Australian"people in the show apart from Clair (Emilie de Ravin) who's a Melbournian (like me!), the blonde Stewardess and the Psychic Guy speak with a Ki-Wi accent (Six is promounced Sex and Sex is pronounced Six in New-Zealand), come on guys, we don't sound like that do we?
• A farmer wouldn't be caught dead in denim overalls. . .ever. . .Oh and we don't call them cover-alls here

Yes these will all be covered in the exam
