Very true. Theirs only 2 types of seasons up here. Overboard hot and warm. All my nice clothes I brought up from Sydney are in storage. You can only wear shorts and a shirt up here.
@@alikhadour5857 That's why people from brisbane shouldnt go to melbourne. Last time i went (in Winter), i had only packed boardies and t-shirts and i nearly fuckin died, no shit.
When I was in the city, I literally saw a group of women walking barefoot while in their swimsuit bra. I asked my Aussie friend and he said, "Not really. Probably bogans." And then I googled search and I was like, "Oh...a female Chav." And yes...I found a redback spider weaving its web under one of the pool lounges that I was sitting on. And my aussie friend carefully placed the critter inside a glass jar and set it off in the woods and he was so calm and even spoke to it and said, "Mate, please don't come back to my house. Thanks." I was like, "Bloody hell...This country's going to kill me."
You're unlikely to die from a redback spider bite (especially if you treat it properly - start with an ice pack on it, go to hospital if needed) but they can be pretty painful. Sydney funnel-web spiders, on the other hand...
I think in a lot of countries during Summer you'll come across guys and gals in their togs or something barely beyond the definition of underwear. In fact I think it's worse in cold countries because during the few days it's actually hot, everybody wants to act like they live in tropicália and wear next to nothing while sunbathing in the park. In Australia when it's hot, I just want to stay indoors in the air-conditioning, because hot days are a dime a dozen. And when I do go swimming, I wear boardies and a rashie because the sun's too powerful to leave much skin exposed.
As a Mexican guy who has travelled a lot, but hasn't been to Australia, I must say that Aussies are the coolest people on planet Earth, even if I don't know any of you personally! ❤️
Thank you for your kind words! As an Australian, I can say that we pride ourselves on our laid-back and friendly nature. We love to welcome visitors from all over the world and make them feel at home. We hope you get a chance to visit Australia someday and experience our unique culture and way of life.
What a hilarious video! The australians in this video were so funny and sweet. Also loved the ending with the vegimite lol. That's one thing I think I'll survive without ever trying 😂
You are lucky. I would never have come back from my 3 week stay if I didn't have a son LOL. I LOVED it there. Especially up north. We even hosted a barbie at the place we were staying at with a bunch of people who were there for a soccer tourney. Nothing like having all the kids make fun of the way us Americans talked hahaha. PS: Pay attention to the signs near creeks and rivers hahaha.
My gosh I had this one time where a lady from Finland heard my family say "Kiwis" referring to New Zealanders and that was the first time I realised that not many places say that haha
I LOVE me some Aussies. Having traveled a little but, I have to say, they were some of the nicest people I have ever met. So welcoming. And yes, they do LOVE to drink haha. If you are a yank, be prepared to be double fisted all night when hanging out with them at a bar. They will make sure you get DRUNK hahaha.
Hahaha I was just talking to an Aussie today about stereotypes of Australians by Americans. He mentioned something about what people here might say when they hear his accent. I informed him that no, they are definitely NOT going to say "oh, you're from Australia aren't ya?" when they hear the accent. But they will most definitely say "are you from England?" haha I think most Americans can't tell the difference between English, Scottish, Irish and Australian accents
When we lived in the UK, people there couldn't tell the difference between Aus, NZ and Sth African accents - regularly saw letters to the paper asking how to tell the difference.
@@laetitiabailey-mortimer8532 I guess it does make sense though.... I can only tell the difference myself because I've immersed myself in the accents with communication or even watching TV. I'm sure I'd get it wrong too if I heard one of the lesser known accents... like English/etc... accents that aren't portrayed much on TV. I might not even understand it then!
@@laetitiabailey-mortimer8532 The Kiwi comedian Cal Wilson ( I think it was her ) gave the best guide I have heard for telling these three accents apart- the Australian accent is the annoying nasally accent, the New Zealand accent is the annoying whiny accent, and the South African accent is the one that sounds like pure evil.
@@bluecedar7914 - I describe our vowels as being like our geography. Aussie is flat, NZ is spiky like their mountains. As for Sth African, think Dutch.
You set Marina up. You should have given her just a tiny bit of vegemite on that roll. It would be salty enough but properly mixed with butter would probably be eatable.
Australian here... public service announcement to clarify that not all Ozzies are convicts. There were people living on Australia before Europeans arrived. That is all.
There are differences in regions though. In Chalkidiki (north Greece) you don't pay for the sunbeds only for what you orde, some people get even just a coffee. Also water and bread could apply the same i don't think they are charged everywhere at least not the water
@@alastairhutton6156 I don't think that that's the point @Afro Dilla is getting at. The point is that First Nation people in colonized countries are under-represented within national identities (etc.). Sure, an Indigenous Australian (or any Australian for that matter) would not go out of their way to go to another country for an video (that would be obsurd!! hehe) BUT it would be good if Indigenous people's worldwide were better represented/validated.
Have met some Aussies and yeah quite laidback as well as got good banter too... Also I do think their accent can be sexy and a bit annoying but overall it is sexy
I was reading and hearing about Australian wines becoming more well known because many are sulphite free. I had read in an organic gardening magazine that Australia had poor soil and common farming technique was layering straw and compost - in regards to vegetables,I think it was? Sheep farming is fairly well known and shepherds pie is popular... Any Aussies reading this comment that know about these things? I also watch an abundance of vintage lifestyle/clothing channels from Australia - is this very popular?
its true. we love our booze.. especially during the biggest sporting events of the year "AFL Grand Final and NRL Grand Final." we are very laid back but not during sports. its stressful.
As an Aussie ... this was not a very good representation of Aussies - a few things stated were not how most Aussies would commonly answer those questions. I'd call this a bit of a modern aberration.
0:21 Aussies really are not drunkards compared to most European countries. Seriously, go to any country in Europe (not just mainland Europe but the UK and whatnot as well) and you'll almost certainly be encountering a lot more drinking shenanigans (especially amongst the younger crowd) than in Australia. It might be because the liquor laws are petty crap in Australia compared to most of Europe.
One fellow said that his family played up their convict (boat) heritage as a point of pride. In the U.S., we used to play up our New England Mayflower heritage although that brings up our strong religious fervour that no else seems to like anymore ;-).
"Australians ride kangaroos." OK Hear me out on this: A kangaroo (or several) in a paddock. college students a lot of beer. Are you sure it doesn't happen?
One of the most annoying stereotypes for me is attracting racists who look at our government's treatment of asylum seekers and think that's a good thing. I get tired of explaining to them that I'm not a racist and I don't support our government policy of mandatory everlasting detention. We do have freedom of speech in Australia and yes we do criticise government policies frequently and that's one of the policies we do criticise. I've had quite a few people back off from me because I'm apparently the 'wrong' kind of Aussie, which is cool for me because I don't need those kinds of mates.
Jasmine Ali Most houses in Sydney will have a few spiders around but the only spider people are still genuinely afraid of is the Sydney funnel web spider. It is amongst the 10 most venomous in the world and has been known to kill a child in less than 15 minutes. However no one has died from its bite since they developed an anti venom, so if you get bitten by one you just need to get to the hospital quickly.
are drinking songs really a think I saw a youtube video about them but when I asked an Australian she didnt no know what I was talking about (or so she claimed)
