Not everything Americans do is terrible 😂 I’m glad kids get to enjoy it now!

Ahh but you did! Your target came out in 73 and ours in 62! 👀

@@ScottyTravels ooo got me with the fact check, knew I should have googled that to make sure 😂

Is that the sparks lab thing?

Ya idk about other countries but in the US it’s hard to find a bathroom in a CBD.

I’d say the same for the US

Just so used to the Queen I forget it’s a King now

@@ScottyTravels Don't worry a lot of us forget too. And many of us couldn't care less about the royal family. As a whole , Australians really just want stable government and more or less support the status quo in terms of the political system. So we just accept that there is this disfunctional English family involved in the system of government in a ceremonial way but don't give it much thought as long as they don't interfere. And generally they don't get involved in politics , here or back in the UK. Republicanism surges a bit when there is a royal visit or maybe a royal scandal then dies down and simmers away in the background. Similar to Canada in that respect , I imagine.

Thanks 🙏 Don’t you worry I already got another one in the works

Looking it up now!

@@nicholasbyrne6485 Ya I realized I messed up during editing

Which museum? Thank you!

@@ScottyTravels Commissariat Store

I don’t make the laws and I left America for a reason so 🤷‍♂️

@@ScottyTravels and what was the reason?

@@bwana-ma-coo-bah425 Based off your videos and attitude I’m going to assume we’re not going to have a nice conversation so I’ll bow out of this one. Thanks for watching!

@@bline5891 Thanks!

I didn’t know either 😉 they said it was the only state in Australia that doesn’t have an upper house. Now I need to google who Joh Bjelke Peterson is!

Joh did love it. It allowed him to gerrymander Queensland electorates "bigly'.

@@kenw1248 Sense he had a PHD in Gerrymandering.

Eh it's got it's downside but it has some upside too.

I’m trying mate!

Brisbane is exactly 200 years old this year. You’re right about city hall though it was built in 1930. Forgot I had read that on the plaque outside.

@@ScottyTravels It is interesting. I do not know a lot about Queensland or Brisbane history. Actually that is interesting to find out that city hall is only been around since 1930.

The city must have been much smaller back then!

@@ScottyTravels i wouldnt say that much smaller

Noted and noted! I’ll make sure to get chicken salt next time!

Aren’t you a barrel of laughs, I thought he was doing well with the accent and lingo. Learn to relax and banter

@@macdac9861 Well thanks mate 🙏

@@ScottyTravels no worries, they were right about the chicken salt though

Ya thats what I was told

@@ScottyTravels Just a gentle little "sorry" is more than acceptable.

Says who? Unless it’s said in a impatient tone no one I know would think that

@@macdac9861 I think I’ll just say sorry from now on

Some people say it is some people say it isn’t 🤷‍♂️

Ya it was small! I went to the Queensland museum in my first vlog! Loved that one. Interesting seeing all the wildlife that can kill you here 😂

@@ScottyTravels lol only some snakes and a few spiders which most people will never encounter, oh and sharks & box jellyfish,

@@bline5891 crocodiles, gimpy gimpy plant 😂😂

​@@ScottyTravelsyou have 300 kg black bears and our kids don't tend to get killed in school, which is a bonus.

@@joanneburford6364 So many people in the US said that they’d never come here because of spiders and snakes. I told them that if all you ever saw about America was bears and wolves and moose and everything else we have you’d think America is just as scary. In reality though getting attacked by a bear or wolf is just as rare as dying from a spider or snake here.

Some people have said it is some have said it isn’t. The person who told me has lived here for 15 years so idk anymore 😂

@@ScottyTravels nah mate its just common courtesy, keep doing it, we need more of it in this world!

Ya I saw that museum! I’d love to check that out! I’m a big WW2 buff so that’d be fascinating I’m sure. The an

not free but worth the fee anyhow

That makes sense! I’m used to saying excuse me anytime I have to get close to someone’s to go by. Sorry seems like a good substitute but it’s a hard habit to break.

@@ScottyTravels Don't break the habit. In Australia, the tone is everything. Normal way you'd say "excuse me" is totally fine.

Thanks mate! Love it here

@@ScottyTravels ya welcome. things will appear strange to your murican ears at times, i see you are a fast learner.

@@glenod It’s funny because it feels so similar but then things happen and I’m reminded I’m not in the US. For example, CHICKEN SALT 😂. I’m loving it though your country is amazing.

@@ScottyTravels silly isnt it.. chicken salt. one thing that very few americans know about, and then kaapowww!!

As far as I understand you guys have the same freedoms as America besides guns maybe. The rules are more strict though. Like in the US they need probable cause to make you blow into a breathalyzer at a DUI checkpoint. Here they just say please blow in this and you have to. Small differences like that. That said though all of your rules generally make sense and I feel are the reason things are considerably nicer than the USA

What would they be called here? I too like to wave

Ya as it was explained to me back in like 50s a bunch of Italians and Greek migrated here and brought their coffee culture with them. It is definitely better coffee than you’d find in the US. Also I’ve heard that’s the reason you don’t have many Starbucks because it’s not really coffee more just sugary drinks. In Vegas where I’m from there’s 180 Starbucks but here in Brisbane there’s about 20. Huge difference.

@@ScottyTravels Starbucks failed here in Australia. There's a video explaining why on UA-cam.

@@Danger_Mouse3619 I’ll check it out

​@@ScottyTravels It failed.But it's making a comeback.

Yes! Love Kmart! They didn’t have any hats in my size though last time I went

Had them in the past but didn’t want to dish out the extra coin for it this time. I think the flip ups add character too 😂

@@ScottyTravels yep can't argue with the character part. 😎

Hard habit to break! Still working on it. Sorry is a good substitute

There is nothing wrong with excuse me unless it’s said in a impatient tone, it’s just weird to think what you said. Champ on the other hand should be avoided at all costs unless you are looking for a fight

@@macdac9861 Oh really? What about buddy or bud?

Yeah champ is the only one off the top of my head that you have to look out for, although you would probably get a pass being a tourist

🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺😜

That’s funny! Americans call it Tarjay as a joke because it’s so much nicer than Walmart. Thanks for watching again! I’ll keep my eye out for kiwi psychos…and I don’t mean New Zealanders

the skins pretty good.... :)

I found it so interesting how the monarchy still plays a big role here. Obviously considering my country literally told Britain to kick rocks it was fascinating that a sovereign nation so far from Britain is still so entangled with its form of government.

@@ScottyTravels The Monarchy is largely Ceremonial today, But it is also a Contingency. But it is also Cheaper for the Tax Payer to stick with the Crown than have to have an other Election and Employ some one to act as a Chief Executive.

@@glenmcinnes4824 Wait…contingency? Like if the current government fell apart the monarchy would take back over again?

@@ScottyTravels If the current government needs to be replaced the Monarchy just sacks all the Politicians appoints a caretaker government and instructs the Civil Service to hold fresh elections and we get a new democratically elected government without all the Policiking and BS of a Republic way of doing things. If things really go side ways the Crown can step in and take charge until things get sorted out.

@@glenmcinnes4824 You know…that actually makes a lot of sense. I would say the US needs a good refresh on its current political situation but the only way for that to happen is for the citizens to revolt (the real reason we have the 2nd amendment). Having the crown be able to say “be gone” and then the people get to elect new officials is a really good idea.

Thank you putting things in yankee terms for me 😂 that helps a lot

​@@ScottyTravels The politics is pretty similar. Basically the premier is the leader of whichever party gets the most seats after the election in the lower chamber (legislative assembly) but unlike in the US the premier picks a cabinet of ministers who are themselves members of the lower chamber whereas in the US the governor appoints a cabinet of secretaries who are elected to that specific position or private people.

Their 1st amendment is for public spaces not private business like shopping centres and such even in Yankee land they can't record if asked not to in a private business

Thank you for looking out for me mate! From a quick google it seems I do have the right to film in public spaces and buildings but if a business asks me to stop than I have to. I will definitely be more mindful though!

Sydney smells like someone farted on a homeless man who pissed themselves:)

As an unofficial foreign Brisbane ambassador…those are fightin words mate 😉 I went to Sydney over ten years ago but I would love to visit again while I’m here!

Thank you! Loving the lifestyle so far!

Thank you! I’m loving it!

I’m taking advantage of the 50c fares while I can! Hopefully they extend the trial

@@ScottyTravels looks like they are here to stay, confirmed by all major parties that they will keep the 50c fares if elected at the next election.

Thank you being so welcoming! Summer is going to be a doozy 😅

I went early morning on a cloudy day so 🤷‍♂️ just went again today and it was much busier

@@Parkway22 I love it already!
