Australia used to have the drinking age at 21, But during the war it was changed to 18, The govt said if you are old enough to die for us, you are old enough to have a beer

I feel like a lot of Americans care a lot about rights, where as Australians are a lot more concerned with responsibility. As in, we enjoy these rights we have with the knowledge that we share responsibility. You can get guns here, you just need a legitimate reason. Hunting, target shooting etc. The responsibility of having them outweighs the right every time.

As a fellow Australian I appreciate your honesty and your probably the only American that sees the facts

I feel so so bad for people who've never known life with chicken salt... nothing is the same without it

There is an unwritten law with BBQ's and that is "you leave it as you found it ". If you don't someone will say something or give you a nasty look.

on guns, as an Australian I've never ever worried about someone having a gun

I am Australian - I love the Australia health system and support it all the way. I had a stomach problem, when into the emergency at hospital. They examined me within a few hours, diagnosed me as appendicitis, within 20 hours of getting to the emergency entrance, they operated on me, and I was home after that (for 2 weeks sick leave) in 3 days. Total cost - about 40$ for the pain killers/anti inflamitories pills to take home. All the rest operation/scans/xrays/etc were covered by the public health system. Follow up checkup after 2 weeks was also covered.

Honerable mention, no tipping. Because we get paid higher then the US there’s no need for it. When I visit America I’m so annoyed the first time I had no idea how many people you had to tip, its not just restaurant staff. Tour bus drivers, taxi drivers. And you never really know how much to tip. I’m no mathematician so I don’t wanna work out each percentage. I’ll round it down, but I don’t exactly know whats too low that it’s insulting or too much. I think US restaurants should just include it in the price, or pay their staff more.

So annoying in the US having to pay tax on top of the price, the first time I visited I had no idea. Bought something, price said $20 and ended up being more and I had a $20 bill ready to pay but cashier told me a slightly higher price. Thought huh?! It takes some getting used to and much prefer it our way.

As far as wages I work at a supermarket and get paid around $23 an hour, it also depends how old you are. 18 year olds get around $20.

As for health care, watch the Michael Moore documentary ‘Sicko’, that’ll give you an idea how bad the US healthcare system is. I pay a monthly bill for mine and I’m pretty much covered for everything.

I lived in Sydney for 17 yrs. and I wish I never had to come back to America. EVERYTHING about OZ is supremely better than US!!

Tristan. I know you didn't want to get in to a discussion about gun control, but if you want to own a gun, you have to have a good reason to need one in Australia. The person must apply for a liscence with a letter from a land owner who wishes the owner of the gun to help with vermin control. The gun is then kept in a specific locked gun cabinet. We do not feel unsafe under most circumstances without the need for a gun. I noticed that you commented that you felt safe here. I am so pleased you feel safe with the freedom we cherish here.

Australian gun laws; I'm an Aussie and i love guns i think guns are cool BUT having said that i support the current Australian guns laws because i know people that i don't want to see have access to a wooden spoon!

I lived overseas 10 years of my life, which is why I love your videos, but a national healthcare system, super and feeling relatively safe are all things we take for granted, but should be universal

Don't forget our plastic money. When you go to the beach and your bathers have pockets, you can put money in there while swimming/surfing. It won't be ruined at all and colorful money means it's a life saver when in rush! Our cash lasts longer than American paper money. I also love the fact we no longer have 1cent coin. Our smallest is 5cent. Honestly anything below 5cent in value is so annoying and it costs more to produce. You're so right about Australian being more accepting. I'm an Asian Australian and I've been very accepted here. I know in the outback it'll be more racist but fortunately never happened to me before as I've traveled quite extensively around Australia. As Australian and anyone who has the chance to live here, we're bloody lucky!

Two days ago I went a gp (free of charge) then I was sent to the hospital and I was operated on with I a few hours of visiting the gp. I went home the next day and didn't pay a thing. Super fast and efficient. So thankful for the Aussie healthcare system.

Get your back checked out while you are in Australia

The main reason for owning firearms in Australia is for sport. We don’t see them for self defence

[jtfinz]

Plus Australians are more heartwarming and more friendly

[LoneWolf-shph]

Whoa I don't even have to think about medical expenses, sometimes I don't realize how lucky I am to live in Australia. Hope your backs better now.

Tipping and bartering just makes life unnecessarily complicated. Just tell me the price and I'll pay, or not.
