Little raindrops, contrary to the expected clear weather until Tuesday, pepper the journey. Fortunately, well-salted roads mitigate potential hazards, highlighting the importance of staying flexible when nature has its own plans.
Linked Fear: Fear of the unknown and lack of control over weather conditions.
2. Parking Blunders and Culinary Adventures:
Navigating through habits formed in different driving environments, a simple act like parking for gas becomes a humorous challenge, reminiscent of Australian driving habits.

Language barriers arise, with everyone around speaking German, prompting a crash course in the language for effective communication.
Linked Fear: Fear of communication challenges and fear of unfamiliar environments.
5. Nighttime Dilemmas and Davos Dreams:
