I used to feel really self-concious of my Australian accent when I travelled. Now: not-so-much. Except... When people are having trouble understanding what I'm saying and they repeat the word back to me in my accent!
Example: this morning I was asked which airline I'm flying (for the shuttle bus to get me to the correct terminal). I said DragonAir. I got parrotted back to me "DraaaagounAir" in the most horrible faux-Australian accent.
(Incidently, I'm actually flying Cathay).
