In this week’s episode, I found myself thinking about three very small, very American moments: ice in drinks, unexpected cookies, and the quiet art of participation.

Living in the US has a way of highlighting things I never noticed back home in Australia. Some differences are big. Others are subtle — but they linger.

This week:

• Why ice still catches me off guard
• The cultural meaning behind a simple cookie
• And how “participation” feels different depending on where you grew up

None of it dramatic. Just observations from the middle of everyday life.

If you’ve ever lived overseas — or even just moved suburbs — you’ll probably recognise the feeling.
