A few things I have observed about Australian culture...
• The restaurants are full of amazing cuisine. However the supermarkets fail miserably at doing the same.
• The height of Winter is currently 22 degrees.
• Racism, homophobia and sexism is still fashionable amongst many hetrosexual men.
• There are more chicken schnitzels per square metre in Sydney than in the entire country of Germany.
• Thongs are worn on your feet and not up yer bum.
• It is easier to purchase a child from Somalia than rental accommodation in Australia.
• Women's fashion is basically a cross between what fashion was two seasons ago and one of those parasols you get decorating your cocktail.
• Men's fashion is still under debate - even in the state of New South Wales.
• Melbourne and the internet are the only places to buy clothes.
• Post Offices don't open on a Saturday.
• Cockroaches are more disgusting and than any of the potential venomous creatures that live in Australia.
• Most Aborigines don't play digeridoos, they play with drugs, alcohol and fight against a government who has let them down severely.
• Class A drugs are as common as smoking.
• It is totally acceptable for straight men to manscape and talk openly about it.
• Oxford St in Sydney is long and disappointing.
• People expect you go home on time and have a life.
• You can buy Marmite here.
• Only tourists go to Bondi Beach.
• Australians actually watch Neighbours despite those in the UK who protest vehemently against this.
• I am continually surprised at the number of Australians who have never been to New Zealand.
