I'm coming to Australia to study in February and I truly couldn't be more excited to move there. I feel greaful that Australians welcome people with open arms, especially international students. Australia is basically the polar opposite of Norway, where I'm from. We are uptight, formal, snobby, private, cold and antisocial. I cannot wait to explore this new culture as I see myself as way more laid back, kind, accepting and adventurous. Totally not fit into the Norwegian mold. See you soon, amazing Land Down Under ❤️

Australians used to just drop in 40 years ago, and before that Sunday afternoon was for visiting family. But increased work hours and scheduling of childrens activities has made everything about appointments. Once you retire, you can be a bit more relaxed about dropping in on other retirees but this generation grew up with dropping in. Rugby League, Rugby Union, Soccer, cricket, basketball all so popular, but there are also a lot niche sports

@rotkatzeredcat4284 2 года назад

yep I was just about to write that about dropping in. We did it all the time and it was great. Shame it has changed.

@sharonconnolly7811 Год назад

Thi is very true. Dropping in is still ok if you live in the country but not in the cities.

@blacksorrento4719 2 года назад

I give thanks to my father every day for his foresight in emigrating to Australia. Absolutely love this country, our family embraced it and assimilated. I believe one main point is to try and think like an Australian, don’t compare it to where you came from. We are the land down under, it’s like no place else on earth, a melting pot of cultures and cuisines. Any party can end up be a meeting place of people from the four corners of the world, mixed marriages are generally accepted here. As for discussing politics and religion, Australians mostly don’t like confrontation so read the table or room before openly discussing topics that could cause dissent, I think one could put Covid on that list as well. All in all, well done on your video…….👍

@mikey6020 2 года назад

G'day - Couple of points - we bring our own drinks not because it's expensive, it's because everyone has their own tastes when it comes to alcohol. It's also generally polite to leave any unused bottles(beer or wine) with the host. 8:19 - we had national ad campaigns about 40 years ago that encouraged people to "keep Australia beautiful" - that continues even today with one day a year when people are encouraged to get out and clean up their local streets, parks, rivers, etc.. You'll also cop a fine if you're caught littering. Aussies are considered one of the most house proud people and we like to keep it that way. Cheers 😁👍

@danielkim7841 Год назад

That's so interesting. I've never been to Australia but on a video about Australians trying american candy they said anything fun or exciting in Australia gets banned by the government. So I assumed alcohol, which is fun, gets heavily regulated and banned. I'm glad alcohol is not super expensive. Isn't Australia one of the world's biggest producers of wine so it should be locally available abundantly and inexpensively?

@danielkim7841 Год назад

The whole "keep Australia beautiful" may have been an ad campaign, but I really think being environmentally conscious is unique to the DNA of australians just like Scandinavian people are very environmentally conscious. Australia is a world leader in renewable energy, I think they are like number one in the world for solar power and percentage of their power grid coming from green energy. I really do think australians seem very meticulously conscious of being good stewards of their environment and it isn't from a simple public service advertisement. They do seem to be ahead of their time implementing technologies that the rest of the world tries to catch up to.

@LynetteMcGrath Год назад

With the BYO drinks, we've all been to a party where someone brings a 6 pack of light beer, then drinks someone else's rum & coke all night! We really don't like litter, and get a bit huffy if the neighbours let rubbish blow into our yards, it's usually lolly wrappers & chip packets, so mostly kids, but they'll learn ( I hope). At the risk of upsetting someone, I must say that the suburb my mother lives in has a large recent migrant population, mainly from African & South Asia, and they are the worst offenders for throwing rubbish out of their car windows as they are driving. I hope they pick up our "Keep Australia Beautiful" habits.

@SanctusPaulus1962 8 месяцев назад

@@danielkim7841 Those Australians who said that anything fun or exciting was banned in Australia were almost 100% taking the piss (joking around). You shouldn't take everything we say so literally.

@zentriffid 7 месяцев назад

I live in WA and while the centre of Perth is maintained the rest is filthy, garbage everywhere by the sides of the road and in carparks. . Coffee cups, Mcdonalds wrappers, you name it. Country roads are the worse, as you drive out of Perth, the level of rubbish increases with distance. Garbage nonstop. No one seems to care, every layby has piles of rubbish tossed away sometimes within a few metres of available bins. Its been there years some of it, no house cleaning there. Also the number of times Ive seen people from certain ethnic groups just casually littering in public. No one gets fined . West Australians are definitely not house proud.

@billking8843 2 года назад

Great advice. One slightly tricky thing about Australia for outsiders is that it is quite a 'tight' culture. You will make yourself unpopular by not following the rules. So, yes, we dress more casually than in a lot of countries and we swear a lot but you can't do whatever you please. Never push in a queue or speak disrespectfully to shop or restaurant staff, even if you think it is just 'responsible assertiveness.' But if you dress tidily, speak softly and say please and thankyou a lot, you will get a warm reception.

@danielkomarov5086 Год назад

In my experience, when it comes to informal gatherings or parties in Australia, no one really arrives on time and the set time is more of a guide than a rule. That being said, we really don’t like it if you’re late and you don’t tell us you’re running late. Just tell us “hey sorry, I’m running a bit late, I’ll be in there in about x minutes” and we won’t give it a second thought.

I have no interest in cricket or AFL (I don’t understand the game. I prefer Football (soccer) and Tennis) 5. I always wear shoes unless I’m at a beach 6. I don’t like much Indian foods but prefer Thai, Japanese, Chinese, Greek, Italian and a good ‘ole Aussie burger. Fish too. Love it!

@korylp6219 Год назад

It could be where you live and individual preferences. Depends who your guests are and how affluent you might be. I’ve lived here 34 years and was born here but I’ve regularly seen both. BYO and bring a plate for larger gatherings is welcomed. Also you may not be near beachy type places. Not wearing shoes is more common here even in the malls but not as common as it used to be. You won’t see people barefoot in Sydney city haha but if you head towards the northern beaches or eastern suburbs you definitely will. Overall a really good overview of us Aussies and our culture!

Welcome; some tips, don't seem too deep in the sea in summer, be wary of the hot Australian sun ( a hat, sunglasses, sunscreen ) whenever the sun is out, you only need to tip for good service it's not expected, Aussies might joke and make fun of you socially, this usually means they like you as long as it's done with fun.Adelaide has four seasons with winter starting in June.

I love this kind of content. Informative in terms of culture and do's and donts. As someone living in Germany for 2 years now, Aussies and Germans have something in common like the Appointments, drinking culture and almost everything actually the only huge difference is Germans don't initiate small talk. You have to be seen enough for them to be able to initiate small talk. Another thing their difficult to joke around or they just have different humour, but other than that Germans are nice people and respectful. I like how organized they are.

Usually you bring a gift to a house warming party. A house plant or coffee table book etc. Also if you're invited to dinner at someone's house, it's customary to bring "a hostess gift" as it used to be called, nowadays something the couple can both use, such as a bottle of wine or chocolates. This isn't for them to share with you, but something for them to keep for themselves. It's a thank you from you for the time/effort/money they've outlayed to host you.

I'm an Aussie and LOVED watching this. Made me laugh when you mentioned smalltalk, we love to just chat 😂

Thank you for giving us Aussie some good feedback. We always seem to be getting rubbished by other countries. Aussies love everyone and love a joke and taking the mickey out of ourselves.

Beautifully said!! My adult children have lived in Australia for years and after a visit, now I know why. I decompress into a much more relaxed person after my 6 mo visit from the USA.

In the NT, on Territory Day, July 1, locals CAN let off our own fireworks, typically bought a few days before as it is controlled.

I’ve been lost in NYC and have had the same kind of help. Recently lost in Florida and a gentleman walked me 1/2 mile to my destination!

Wow! Loved your video, first I've seen. This is an excellent summary of the key features, customs, habits and culture of Australians. I haven't seen a personal intro of yourself. May be a good idea to have a brief description locked in? Sorry, I don't even know your name! Cheers, enjoy our great country 💖

Good video. Another one that I’d add is don’t text spam Aussies after you’ve had a convo with one in the street and never be too forward… just because you may have made a new friend doesn’t mean you’ve made a new best friend. While most Aussies are outgoing there are some that aren’t so outgoing so just be aware the maybe some might not want to have a talk and/or may not be capable of holding a conversation.

As an Australian growing up both regional and then studying in the city (and mostly QLD + NSW)... you pretty much nailed it! Probably one of the best summaries I've heard so far! :-D First of all its such a big country so there will be slight differences in experiences the main one I found interesting was your experience with Kangaroo as a dish comment - for me I know you can get it but its not something you'd find on every restaurant menu compared with say chicken or even beef and not a lot of people cook it (at least in my experience) as a regular meat dish at home but I found it interesting you experienced it that way. Perhaps I just don't notice it. Great point on AFL - its quite unique to Aus! Where I grew up in Aus mostly referred to Rugby League as football but I think this was more unique to my region/state. For the more southern states AFL is definitely the 'football'. Lol - so often I've heard it said growing up by adults around me "Never discuss politics or religion" but my experience has been that these topics are not never discussed but they are not for small talk (ever). I have had great discussions with friends on things and quite regularly but usually we will only do it if its (a) people we know well enough to know they are comfortable to have those discussions, and (b) by starting the discussion you approach with mutual respect, an underlying 'its okay to agree to disagree' from both sides and (c) sensing whether people actually want to talk about it at that time, it's perfectly acceptable culturally to 'opt out' of such discussions if you just don't feel like it with 'yeah I don't feel like getting into politics, how's work been?'. There's definitely an element of caution to how we approach for sure. Well spotted! Great video! :-D

@lizzie7654 2 года назад

@@livingsimplyaustralia no worries - just my own experiences - others might be different. Great job though - have been checking out some of your other videos they seem super helpful for people moving to Aus.

@mfanwelikeit3760 Год назад

I agree, we can be shy to discuss politics and money etc unless we really know you. Perfectly acceptable to opt out if you don’t want to discuss. “Yeah, not up for politics mate. How’re you going any work/ school etc”
