Ask an Aussie living in MERIKA anything

Growing up I had a collection of poems by Banjo Patterson. If you want something intrinsic to Austrlalian history and culture, give them a go. I'm fond of his comedic poems personally, the 'Man from Iron Bark' and 'A Bush Christening'.

Chicago and I married an Amerimutt. It was easier and cheaper for me to immigrant than vice versa.

>Chicago
why would you live in that concrete jungle of apes

Well, it has some great neighbourhoods and I do live in the western-suburbs so it isn't all bad. The weather is atrocious.

I also lived in the burbs of Atlanta for a few years.

What was the most difficult thing to adjust to coming from Aus?

Also, how much does your health insurance cost?

Chicago suburbs are just fine. Living in Chicago itself is where the problems are.

It's a lot of small shit.

>tipping
>food portions are fuckhueg
>no footpaths to walk anywhere
>no public transport
>Americans can't queue
>alcohol being oddly stigmatised yet available nearly anywhere and for cheap
>Americans don't know how to give way and will walk right in front or past you
>high fructose corn syrup in fucking everything
>everything is built for a consumer paradise yet they complain about the costs all the time
>petrol is dirt cheap
>the bar culture is oddly unfriendly, not many places have pool tables or bar games. there is an emphasis on food and the owners turning a profit, most people will sit by themselves in their designated table and keep to themselves.
>americans live in 'their own bubble' couldn't be arsed with anyone else
>fucking awful coffee and starbucks is usually the only option
>they have no cafe culture, everyone sits at starbucks on their fucking laptop
>they are obssessed with race

AS of right now, my health insurance is free. It's probably going to change come April.

Go to a local roastery dummy

what do you think about turks and/or anime?

are you the guy from Perth?

Turks, too handsome, not my taste
Anime too gay

Do seppos really get offended by the word "cunt"?

Yeah, the won't even type it out. I've know foul mouthed yanks that will type 'c*nt'. It's fucking hilarious, the onyl word that gets them more offended is 'nigger'.

They are also idiots when it comes to using foreign slang. My sister in law calls her sons 'wanks' sometimes when they misbehave, instead of 'wankers'. Even then I don't think shed even realises she is called her kids 'masturbate'

anime yes
turks never met one
no, queensland

Haha, that's funny. What are their stereotypes of aussies, do they think we're all crocodile Dundee and shit?

Some of them. Most of them will immediately ask >"ARE YOU FROM SYDNEY? OMG I HAVE A COUSIN FROM THERE'

Failing that they ask what part of London you are from. This one time at work a guy mimicked my accent and using a mish mash of Irish and Australian slang.

>gday mate, top of the morning to ya laddy

Another time a woman asked if I was from new zealand, and I replied 'No'. She then accused me of faking the accent.

Ok but are Americans based and redpilled?

You live in a based city. Chicago is one of the best places on earth my friend.

the false ones:
>Americans can't queue
>Americans don't know how to give way and will walk right in front or past you
and this one is just a Jow Forums meme:
>they are obssessed with race
come on, nobody talks about race here. maybe you hang out with people like that.

Yes

if he's in chicago he's probably being bombarded with the smollett case everywhere he goes

This is all hilariously believable except the queue thing I’ve never had a problem with lines in my life maybe you’re just around blacks

But yeah Americans really cannot differentiate between kiwi and aus accents even I’d have to really sit and listen, would have to do the “six or sex” test I reckon

>marrying a Chimpcongo slut
congrats on Tyrese and Le’Shawns sloppy seconds

Stop Ameriposting

>most people will sit by themselves in their designated table and keep to themselves.
What's wrong with this? How is it in Australia?

>come on, nobody talks about race here

Which one is better and why, US or Australia?
You are treated as native there?
What's the biggest different?
Do you want to comeback to Australia in the future?

American's can't queue. I've worked in hospitality and food service before and I will tell you that most Americans will line up how they want to, and often just make a secondary line intersecting the first. I experience it at the airport, the train, and the bus. Don't be a moron.

People will tend to mingle more, being more sociable.

>about equal, but I'm biased towards my home nation
>yes, until they notice I speak differently
see
>definitely, I'd rather raise my future children there

Have you actually been to Chicago? It's not Tyrese and Le'Shawn, it is Vladimir and Wojiech. Slavs out the fuckign arse.
