Aussie Welcome

How would you be welcomed to a Dutch firm as a new employee? Well, a cup of coffee, a piece of pie. That's about it. Here in Australia they'll grease up the Barbie and open a couple of beers. Indeed: the second day at work was welcome day, and at noon we fired up the Barbie (single most important office equipment unit at my employers). So everybody drops whatever they were doing, grabs a beer and BBQ’s away. Nice salads, bread and pasta.
I talked to most of my colleagues and found out that three of them own powerful motorboats (yeehaaa: I'll be waterskiing this year) one owns a 40 foot yacht (I am sailing, I am sailing...) and one is a Kite Surfer (Yay finally, it's been too long).
A couple of beers later, it was time to visit my first client.
