** After Diane and an American guy have a fallout, she calls their little affair "his ''Theatre/MissSaigon'' cosplay".
** The title of the show is a sort of double reference. It shares the name with Music/FlorenceAndTheMachine's hit song "Dog Days Are Over", which is also the theme song for the movie adaptation of ''Literature/EatPrayLove'', a movie about a recent divorcee traveling to find herself, much like Diane's own quest.
* WholePlotReference: A rather subtle one to ''Film/EatPrayLove'', a movie about a woman who, after her divorce, travels to find herself.
* YouAreNotAlone: Subverted. Diane realizes at the end of her trip that she is alone, however, rather than being thrown in deeper sadness by the realization, she comes to the conclusion that she just might be okay being on her own.
