“I need someone from Australia to explain this to me as I don’t understand how this works,” Ms Lu said at the start of the meeting. video.
“I recently learned in Australia that it is winter now. Right now it is August in America and it is winter for you.

She said she was sure many other Americans were just as confused as she was.
Ms Lu was also baffled by the fact that Halloween took place in the spring and asked if Aussies would ‘wear spring flowers during the fall?’
