lol, I had no idea long service leave was just an Australian thing so when I casually mentioned it to my North Carolina friend over discord last year she was like "Wait... what!" XD
"Chicken salt" is usually a mix of powdered garlic and onion, with salt. There might be some other herbs like tumeric, paprika, thyme, clove, oregano. Some brands even have actual powdered chicken stock. Depends on the brand. There are a few. It's a bit of a misnomer. It's called "chicken salt" because the original use was to season roast chickens, but it tastes so good you can put it on anything like chips, mash, rice, and you'll instantly become a chicken salt crack junkie. :)
The whole america being a third world country thing makes sense and I am not the only person who thinks so. They don't or can't drink water from the tap, their homeless problem is out of control, the whole weapon laws in the U.S. makes it akin to countries like Mexico and Cuba. Healthcare, super, education including higher education etc, etc, etc.
Hi Nina, I am an Aussie, don't judge the US too badly. I weep for the amount of Aussies that are forced to live in tents and cannot afford health care or food. At least we have clean water.
As an Aussie, first time visiting the UK, we had fish n chips for lunch and I asked for chicken salt, the whole shop looked at me like I've escaped from an asylum lol, obviously the only choice was vinegar or salt. My mate afterwards said WTF is chicken salt, I sent him a few jars when I got back home to Oz and now, he even puts it on his home-made pizzas, which, as an Aussie, that's weird to me but can see how it would work lol
I know exactly what you mean. I went to England to visit family with mum when I was young and we decided to have fish and chips. I asked for flake and chips, just like Oz. Mum started laughing and the shopkeeper was astounded when he was told it was shark. 😂
Australia is not perfect, but I will never live anywhere else regardless of how much money I was offered to move. Personally I think that the best thing about Australia is the very low population in a very large country island. Being able to get around without the hassles that a large population creates such as daily massive traffic jams, smog and the noise. Where I live I am near a major public hospital and major shopping centre but after 10pm it starts to get quiet and at around 1am it Is so silent that you feel like the only person on the planet. Everyone needs to go into the central part of Australia away from the light pollution and you will realise why our galaxy is called the milky way.
Chicken salts was in invented to be applied to roast chicken but it escaped to be applied to other foods. So what is Australian chicken salt made of?, We make our Chicken and Chips Salt with all natural ingredients. It's vegan, gluten-free, MSG-free, and contains no additives. We blend Australian sea salt, onion, paprika, garlic, sumac, celery, and mustard flour to create a moreish healthy chicken salt alternative.
I'm Australian born from British background and live in a very multicultural area. I have Serbians one side, Afghanis behind and Samoans the other side. Apart from minor differences that are sometimes annoying, eg. A very strong smell of spices throughout the house, smoke from a meat smoker shed when the washing is out type thing, everything is calm and fine. You see men going for walks with turbans and white gowns. 3 or 4 women with beautiful brightly coloured long wraps walking with their children and chatting. All in all, quite peaceful. The only thing I cannot stand is those that come to Australia and protest with violence about issues in their homeland. I understand that's what they're used to but IMO if you protest peacefully I will listen to everything you have to say. If you're violent and abusive I'm not interested and you should leave. (That goes for Aussies too.) 😉
You're lucky - I live 100kms east of Perth in a small country town that is 40kms from the railway station in the nearest larger town but no bus service or taxi to get you from here to that town to catch the extremely limited daily train service to the city (2 hour train trip to the eastern terminus of the metro train line where you then change onto the suburban network to then spend another 30 minutes to get into the city).
The minimum wage here is $23.68 AUD.Working on a public holiday is 2 1/2 times that per hour. Everbody in Australia has Medicare at 1% tax at the end of the financial year. !8 is the legal age to drink, since 1973. We use the metric system but I prefer Imperial. Superannuation is payed by your employer into a fund for retirement. Can be between 10% and as high as 17% plus your wage. I love to travel often, each year, but am always glad to come back home. I love all things mentioned and the city I live in is Green. The food is fresh and international dishes fro Asia are great.
As a very simple explanation of the "sales taxes" between Australia/New Zealand/UK vs USA, in general the National/Federal Government sets the Taxes on Goods and Services (aka VAT - Value Added Tax), which is then included in the prices, and itemised on the sales receipt; in the USA each individual state sets it's own sales taxes, and will even reimburse a resident who has purchased items in another state the difference between their taxes (although this rarely happens due to personal bookkeeping).
American tradespeople like plumbers and carpenters use imperial, but when its a high stakes environment such as space exploration, NASA and SpaceX etc, use metric.
In Aaustralia, we use metric for everything - road speeds and distances, measurement of use of gas, water and electricity, the fuel you buy for your cars (and I'd include the electricity for electric cars in this), the slices of ham for your lunchtime sandwich, everything. The change started with the change to decimal currency (on the 14th of February nineteen sixty six as the jingle had it), with a staged introduction across the board after that. My memory is that at least in NSW (my State) the process had been completed by 1980 or perhaps a year or 2 before then. Within a year or so of the change for each product, it was automatic and no-one thought of the old system.
USA uses their version of the imperial system. They have the smallest gallons & lightest tons in the world. US Gal. = 3.78lt. Imperial Gal. = 4,5lt. US ton = 2,000lbs Imperial ton = 2,240lbs Metric ton = 2,200lbs.
Chicken salt goes great on your fish & chips order (battered fish, potato cakes, maybe some fried dim sims, chicken nuggets) all with chicken salt… winner.
Ha ha. Point one on public transport in Australia. It's only good if you live in the burbs. I live in the Perth Hills (about 40 minutes from the city) and public transport is far & few between 😅 I'm assuming he only went to built-up, tourist areas 😅
Terrible public transport in small towns. Even in cities, you can't often get public transport early enough to get from one side of a city to the other for a job that starts at 7am. His information is extremely old. The current minimum wage, as of July first, is $24.10 per hour. Not all chicken salt tastes the same. You can use it on a lot of other things, but only if you want that flavour. Sometimes you only want plain salt. There is a lot of racism in Australia.
Yes, living only 100kms out of Perth, there isn't even a daily return bus service to the city. No taxis/uber, no bus (not even a community "bus") between this small town and the nearest larger "regional town" that is 40kms from us. Without a car, you're cactus. The only bus service between this town and the nearest regional town is the school bus that takes students from here to that town to complete their final two years of high schooling, as our school only goes to year 10.
@@user-lu2vt8cv3m Lucky you - I live in rural WA, only 100kms east of Perth, in a small country town with no taxis/ubers or even buses to the next larger town, 40 kms north of us. The only bus "service" is the bus running from Perth to Albany via the wheatbelt, which isn't a daily service and it isn't possible to even get to the city and back in one day since the timetables aren't designed for it to do that. How lucky are you that you have options. Without a car here, life is extremely difficult, especially if you need to go to the city for medical appointments. If you use the bus "service" it involves you having to stay for at least one to three nights in a city hotel since you can't get down and back in one day and the service isn't daily. If you've an appointment for a Friday afternoon, you have to go down on the Wednesday bus (no bus comes through on Thursday to Perth) and chances are you can't get back until Saturday afternoon because it's likely you'll miss the only bus departure from East Perth on Friday afternoon that passes through on it's way to Albany. Your experience at living rural isn't the norm for small country towns here.
What part of Malaysia are you living and how's it going? I'm planning to move there this year, Sarawak, so always curious about expats experiences and thoughts, cheers
I worked in Miri in Sarawak for 4 years and enjoyed the whole time. Life was cheap and offered the opportunity to travel within the region to KL, Brunei, Singapore etc. Depending upon your age, you may wish to look at the “Malaysian, my second home” concept.

Tristan, love your little docos. Just a few up to date things from an Australian: [1] If you are sensible and can manage to, you can add money from each pay packet to the superannuation fund set up and paid into by your employers - that by the way is going up to nearly 12% that your boss pays for you; [2] Minimum wage here as at June 2024 here is actually higher than you had - it is $24.10 base per hour, but this goes up if you work Sundays and public holidays to ''time and a half' or 'double time' ie on a public holiday you would get the $24.10 doubled, thus earning $48.20 an hour. [3] Chicken salt yum - have you tried a sandwich ie: two slices of fresh bread and butter with hot chips as the filling - not soggy ones add tomato sauce or ketchup if you like it; or two slices of fresh bread and butter with chicken flavoured chips - I mean the ones that come sealed in a packet ie: crisps. Not very healthy, but delicious.
Americans think Australia has good public transport, Europeans not so much. Rural public transport is limited. Trains now only connect the largest regional centres to the capitals. Smaller towns only have bus lines to the nearest regional centre and rail station.
You have to live in the eastern states. I'm in WA and most small towns don't even have bus transport to the nearest regional centre. I live only 100kms from Perth, 40 kms from Northam (the nearest regional centre), and without a car there's no way to get from my small town to Northam to catch a train because there are no buses or taxis/uber. From my small town there isn't even a daily bus service to the city, let alone a day return bus service. Any trip to Perth involves having to stay as least one to two nights in a hotel because what little bus service to the city we have isn't daily, nor has convenient pick up times for city appointments - the bus "service" is, in fact, the very long "scenic tour of the wheatbelt" route taken by the Perth to Albany/return bus. This bus service timetable doesn't even allow you the opportunity to transfer to the extremely limited train service to the city available in Northam.
The American System of measurement is NOT the Imperial System. It is 'strictly called' AVOIRDUPOIS. The original term. Imperial units of measurement only applies to a limited number of items, eg: Inches.
One thing that the US absolutely does far better than Australia - high school and college sports. It might be a population / money thing, but the USA puts Australia to shame in that department.
Australia has its ugly racist side. It disappoints and horrifies me a lot. We just might have a higher number of non racists compared to a lot of other nations. Same with any other minority issue on sexuality, gender etc. At the moment in Victoria government paperwork asks your preferred pronouns and has boxes for intersex, non binary and other, not just male/female, and that makes me very happy.

Compulsory paid annual leave on top of paid sick leave entitlements, plus superannuation savings of 10% paid by the employer.
