(The water actually spins in the same direction down a drain here as it does anywhere else in the world.)

But you are right about the deadly creatures though, we have a too many of those type of critters.

But your cyclones (hurricanes to us in North America) do spin in the opposite direction. How water goes down a drain has more to do with the angle at which it is introduced and the shape of its container, and nothing to do with location. There's a good discussion of this totally irrelevant material at Which Way Does Water Spin Down a Drain?.
