Couldn't agree more, Australia is such a great place that I decided to be born here!

You did this very well but one thing you overlooked. We insult our friends. It is a form of endearment. So if an Australian calls you a "whinging pom" it is actually a sign you have been accepted.
When an Australian refuses to insult you then be aware you have really overstepped the mark to where you are not worthy of being a friend. And speaking of being friendly or offering help, to me the cities are cold and people are not friendly. I am rural. One day about 20 km from home on my pushbike I heard a bang and the rear tyre had exploded. Not something that can be repaired. A minute later a guy pulls up with a ute and said " I heard your tyre burst. I reckon you could use a lift home for you and your bike". THAT is what being friendly means to us.

Honestly the best Aussie culture shock video out there. Too many others exaggerate things or generalise things that don't always happen. Great vid, thanks.

As an Aussie. I love the way you spoke about our culture.

[graenicholls]

Love your videos! As an Aussie, it's always refreshing to hear the point of view of those from other lands. I love that you love it here and that you have such an upbeat attitude with a great sense of humour to go with it. welcome to Australia mate!

As an Aussie, I don’t go barefoot in public except at the beach.

"You don't have to tip, because everyone gets a fair wage, & medicare, & gun laws." Australia in a nutshell.

I was in the US and met a fellow who I'd arranged to see before I left home (famous hot rod builder). He knew I was from Australia and asked if he could say c**t in my presence. I said "sure, all you want". He explained that he loved that word but could never use it in the US but he'd heard that Aussies use it all the time and was hoping he could get a few out while I was there.

I’m a nearly 50 yr old Aussie and believe I have a allergy to shoes, if I’m not at work they don’t go on, pluggas are worn if we are going to a flash event 👍👍👍👍👍👍

Australian here. Christmas Day at our place is always incredibly laidback. Lashings of seafood and salads, cold ham and a couple of roast chooks. Beer, wine, prosecco (my wife's favourite), soft drinks for the kids are drunk. We'll sit down at around 12:30pm and 'graze' all afternoon through several courses. Dessert could be served early evening. It's quite acceptable to find a quiet corner in the house for a mid afternoon nap. Boxing Day is my favourite day. Christmas left overs, a few beers, a quiet room with a TV and the Boxing Day Test. It doesn't get any better.

Ah Christmastime. An Australian once told me that as a kid he wondered what British kids did in the summer holidays without their Christmas presents to play with.

I'm a 21 year old moving from the US to Melbourne for the first time and your videos have been the best educational information for me. Thanks Ross!

I recently stumbled upon your channel and have been enjoying your quirky look at Australian life and comparison videos. I came to Australia on a one year working visa 35 years ago and although a lot have changed (No need anymore to feed $1 coins into a Australia telecom phone box to talk to family, and the country is definately more politically correct these days) I still get a sence of awe and wonder then visiting the diffrent parts of this great land. Keep up the great work. I've started watching from your first video and am about half way through. Looking forward to catching up on the last 10 months of your lives.

its refreshing to see a vid about australia that isnt just 'aww man theres like great whites and n red backs that will kill you in like 3 seconds' very nice video!

[hulahoopone]

Probably one of the more accurate culture shock videos of coming to Australia that I have seen.
I do Lions BBQ's where we sell Sausage (and onion) on bread and I doggedly ask people if they want ketchup, mainly just for the reaction. I do have to say that use of the C-word seems to be mentioned a lot on videos like this, but it has not been my experience. Maybe that's a Geelong thing, not doing it? Swearing on the radio is great and I've done enough talkbalk on Melbourne radio shows to have used the odd arse or bugger

Lol, I’ve experienced a white Christmas in Australia! I think It would’ve been over 15 years ago here in Hobart, and our max temperature that day only reached 11, and it was snowing on Mt Wellington, so I drove up there. But then, I’ve also experienced 36 degrees here on Christmas Day…😂

[davidcollinson]

That was so funny. Really enjoyed watching your take, as an immigrant myself you will eventually see all this as the new normal and before you know it it is not so strange just different. Thanks fo seeing the positives, as any country nothing is perfect just different. Great to see you are embracing it and not just being a winging Pom.

When I moved to Australia I was also surprised to see shops and cafes close early. I’ve gotten used to it now.

Good stuff mate. Turkey and Christmas pud when it's 40° outside is madness. Yeah, BBQ's, beers, and suncream is the go. Welcome.
