Cheers!

While "Cheers" is a word that we Americans use on occasion when sharing a drink or making a toast...it's used very differently here.  So far, what I've noticed is that people say "Cheers" when they are saying good-bye or thank you.  You hold the door open for someone, they say "cheers". You sign off on a phone call, you say "cheers".  You part ways with a friend, you say "Cheers." Kind of neat, I'm sure I'll pick it up soon and then have to break the habit when we return.

Cheers!
