probably that self and socially inflicted Country pride

The Brits aren't so bad in Prague, mostly stag-do's. Generally they're just amusing. Americans are mostly irritating when you're in a full tram and you have to hear their bullshit opinions. Australians actually drunkenly harass people on the trams and metros and public spaces. Seen it countless times.

yeah Auusies tend to get drunk more often in public, its more the drinking culture we affiliate ourselves with

Well, believe me, there's no country that has more public intoxication than the Czech Republic. Number 1 in beer consumption and number 2 in alcohol consumption world wide. Drunks here don't tend to harass other people that much though. Even the drunken British and American tourists don't seem to harass people so much.

It's not so much the getting drunk I take offense to, it's the way they act when drunk. What is it that makes drunken Australians so aggressive and in-yo-face?

guys i just want to bring in the point

just because their are shit heads out their it doesnt mean everyone else is

wavey Just read this whole thread GS and I learned alot 😊 thanks for this I really wanna visit! My only question was the penis and sex topic naughty because I'm a pervert.

There was another aussie, K.Diddy but I don't think he comes around anymore. He was a riot!


you should totally tour around
penis and sex questions are totally valid
us perverts need to stick together

I think you're making the same mistake as riv, I never said all Australians are shitheads. I'm not even saying that all drunken Australian tourists are shitheads.

It just appears that for some reason, there's an exponentially larger group of belligerent Australian tourists than there are from other countries. As an Australian I thought you might've had some insight as to why that is.

eh no idea on that one

its more a interpersonal psychology thing

Indeed. Its why i didnt pigeonhole all Czechs by Slay's behavior one page back. 👆

fair enough

Any Australian breakfast cereal/mascots, like Frosted Flakes/Tony the Tiger?

Weetbix and Nutri grain are probably if not definitely are the biggest

So basically, let's de-bunk one cliche that all drunken Australians aren't shithead tourists by falling back on another cliche that one Australian can vouch for every other Australian's behaviour.

Okaaay.

Well this IS the Internet

^^^someone actually asked if this was the internet? 🤨 😂

Are you mentally challenged?

Did I say he can vouch for all of Australia's behaviour? I asked him if he had any insights on an aspect of Australian culture.

If anything, he's the one claiming he can speak on behalf of all of Australia by making this very thread.

This place really has gone downhill when it comes to the intelligence of posters.

"Intelligence".

And you back this with what facts?

What an obnoxious question, and here I was not believing Slay, but now I am convinced!!!

I back this with my own experience as well as those of a lot of my friends living in a European capital that has a huge influx of tourists (including Australians) every year. On numerous occasions I've been harassed by young Australians or witnessed young Australians harassing other people on public transport, in nightlife venues or beergardens and on rare occasions even just walking in the streets.

I think the behavior you're showcasing here is part of the problem, you're unwilling to believe that Australians could behave like this and rather make weird mental gymnastics or intentionally misread what I post to somehow discredit me do to your crippling national pride.
