New Zealand and Australia both pronounce the L in my experience.
This reminds me of a funny conversation I had recently with some
Japanese and Chinese friends, it turns out that both cultures have
their own version of the Doh-Ray-Me song from the sound of music. I
remember that the 'Ray' in japanese is for 'Ray-Mon' which means
lemon, it seems that it is borrowed from english (or french). That
surprised me, I guess that lemons must have been introduced into
Japan...
