Pitiful Americans

We are officially the most pitiful people EVER. Everytime we turn around people ask us about our accent and ask if we are here on "holiday" or as a "schoolie." Then, a minor miracle happens... they start giving us things - directions, advice, milk, hair straighteners... hell, one girl is selling us all her furniture and she said, "Why don't you pick it up these weekend, it'll be easier on you and I'll be fine without my bed and fridge" (she leaves Australia about 5 or 6 days later). I think it's working out just fine for us. Being pitiful Americans suits us well.
