Several years later, I heard that Jerry did something you are never 41 to do in the restaurant business…. He 42 the back door open one morning and was held up at 43 point by three armed robbers.

This is very different from the Australian lifestyle. Australians are laid back. Even in a major city like Sydney, we “Aussies” take time to “stop and smell the roses”---very different from our American counterparts.
Navigating (驾驭) the culture divide between Australia and the US was challenging at times. But I took up that 35 and learned a lot from it. It was an adventure.
