Would hate to see Donald trump in power, I imagine there will be an increase in racial fuelled hate crime

Along with an increase in nuclear armageddon

Gen! What in the blue Jell-O is THIS?!? 😂

a Blue Mariachi with a confused Blue Heeler in the middle

probs a multi cultural Australia day poster either giving a positive support for the multi culturalism or some subtle reminder of our Australian traditions being taken over by "foreign" influences.

either way I have no idea

Some of the videos I've seen on youtube are people from different countries discussing what they don't get about Americans and our culture, what are some things you don't get?

What major thing has Hollywood movies and tv shows constantly got wrong about Australia?

Your gun culture.
Not a week goes by that we hear or read about another shooting in America.
You guys just don't understand you can lead a happy & safe life without a gun involved.

That we're forever stuck in the 80's & hail allegiance to the Queen.

I've lived in Sydney all my life.
Yes, it is an expensive state to live in but you don't realise it until someone from another state or country points it out.
And Sydney is more or less a high density city, there's not much deadly wildlife around. Spiders are typical in gardens, rats are typical in the city parks.

What up with those day glo shoes?

Besides the obvious Asian presence and the Kiwis next door, what foreign people bug Aussies the most?

Sharks

I'm curious about this myself?

Same.

Doesn't seem like they mind in Scotland, so I'm guessing it's cool... ?

Yeah I guess it's "pretty bad" but we tend to use it more to jokingly offend people we know than to actually insult or degrade someone.
If anything, females tend to use it more often in anger, when describing someone's actions behind their backs.

I understand a majority of different cultural quirks and expectations. It's the Vietnamese I don't quite get

Tbh there re things Aussies don't get about America and things Americans don't get about Aussies

Same for any country
But if I can't understand something I will ask you 🙂

More then anything, the accent. Sometimes it is way to 80's and sometimes it's nonsense pure and simple
