you have the school bus wrong, the 40 km you see on it is, when the bus stops you can’t drive past it at more than 40km This protects anyone travelling from being hit should they be silly and walk in front of the bus to cross the road, then they only get hit at 40km so hopefully it’s not life threatening. it’s like a travelling school zone, so if you see a bus stopped when driving always slow down. we have same rule now for emergency services now here to, if you see flashing lights from any emergency services cop, ambo or fireman then you must slow down to pass them, or you will get a ticket, it’s all about the safety of who maybe coming out of them vehicles. keep theses up i’m loving them.
@@happycamper897 officially a bus should be governed to 100kph... depending on state, all school buses must now be seatbelt equipped (mixed use are exempt, ie. The Ansair-Oriana model in the video, because it is public transit used for school charter)... @Kerryn Simmons I'm guessing that it's not every house but every block? @Maz De Hay - the fuzzy exemption to the Emergency Services slow to 40kph law is to "make every effort to slow to 40kph when passing" - I had the "heated discussion" with a Senior Constable of the Victorian Highway Patrol about passing them at 67kph (100kph zone on a sweeping left bend) in an semi-trailer, i asked them (and their Inspector later, who cancelled the fine) was it safer to lock on all brakes and jackknife or keep control and stable to pass, also they'd parked illegally. When parked opposite a solid centre line you must be parked with no part of your vehicle in the drivable lane, thank you to the dash cam and road rule book.
Re circumcision - most Australian guys between WW1 & the mid 1970s were circumcised - I'm glad you're hanging out with a younger crowd :) ! On the subject of cheese - Tasty is Tasty vs Mild. You can also get Extra Tasty if that's your thing.
Whoever told you the 40km/hr limit got it wrong. In Australia Every suburban school zone (roads in front of schools) limits all vehicles speed to 40km/hr from 7-9am and 2-4pm on school days. (Due to increased traffic on these roads, pickup and drop off and For child safety as they walk to school and across roads etc) Also School buses can look a bit different depending where you go; they can look like council public buses (Ike the one you showed) or coaches like what Americans would call greyhounds or even smaller shuttle buses. School Buses can definitely go any legal speed just like a car along suburban streets or the highways as well. Some big coaches can’t go 110 km/hr as they have a speed limit on their manufacture but the rest of the buses definitely all travel up to 100 km/hr with kids and the public in them.
Lyn Andrews The schools zones near me are 60k. Normal speed around me, depending on the roads, are 80 or 90O. When I have to go into more built up areas, the 40 zones drive me bonkers. Glad I don’t do it often, you get used to what you know I guess.
@@cathie-aussiegirl6547 👍 Yep, I edited my post as I should have said (inner city or suburban school zones are 40km/hr in school days) Some regional areas often have schools on roads/highways that have much higher speed limits. So like you said some have higher adjusted speed limits. This is from Department of transport: School zones are permitted on roads adjacent to schools where there is significant school related activity on and beside the road. Speed limits which apply include: 40km/h on roads where the existing limit is 50km/h, 60km/h or 70km/h 60km/h on roads where the existing limit is 80km/h 60km/h or 80km/h on roads where the speed limit is 90km/h or 100km/h, depending on the amount of school related activity on or near the road 80km/h on roads where the existing limit is 110km/h.
Buildings here are (usually) also numbered with the odds on one side and the evens on the other. I was going to say left and right, but it kind of depends which way you're going :) Also, if a big building takes up more than one zoned block, it'll be listed as, say, 255-259 Something Street.
I live in western Australia, I’ve never heard of school buses having speed limits. But here, only country area schools tend to have school buses. In Perth, primary schools don’t have buses and the high schools generally use the public buses as the kids come from a bigger radius. Also in WA it’s called four square!
It was almost universal until about 1950, and then started to decline because of an article in the British Medical Journal in 1948 called “The Fate of the Foreskin”. In the mid-Sixties the rate was supposedly about 50% (though it seemed in the showers at school that my class was more like 95% circumcised and me). In the Seventies circumcisions became clearly the minority and in the Eighties unusual. Since 2000 I heard conflicting reports: figure of 10-15% show up when you research the rate, but my friends and relations in the medical profession tell me that “no doctors in New South Wales” or “only one obstetrician in Queensland” do routine circs without a specific medical indication.
I think the reason there are more lawyer ads in America is that lawyers there can get a percentage fee for every win they get in court, so the quantity of cases makes a big difference for them (like if the person wins $100, they could have agreed the lawyer would take $10). That is illegal in Australia, lawyers can only charge based on the actual work done (either a fixed quote or by number of hours worked etc), so if they have enough work going on there isn't quite as much motivation to get extra clients
Buses in Australia can go more than 40 km/h the 40 km sign on the back of the bus means if the lights are flashing on the back of the bus whether the 40 sign is then that means if you are behind the bus you have to go 40 km not the bus
Cheddar cheese comes from Cheddar in the UK. Tasty has a cheddar like taste, but isn't cheddar. The Brits don't mind other countries adopting their food and drink names, but the French and Italians hate it. Tasty is a crap cheese.
Re #25, it's simple:- you can't call Australian tasty cheese 'Cheddar', because it's not from Cheddar (Cheddar is a major cheese-producing region in England FYI), even though it might be made with traditional Cheddar methods; much as we don't call a good Australian pinot-noir a 'Burgundy' ~ because it's not from Burgundy. Protected Origin designations are actually enshrined in our trade-deals with Europe (where it's law).
Tasty cheese is just generic Australian cheddar cheese. You can also get Extra Tasty cheese which is just more mature and Lite Tasty which is low fat. I imagine they call it Tasty Cheese instead of cheddar to not mix up with American cheddar cheese
Tasty cheese is just cheddar. The mass-produced versions have flavour ratings - mild, medium, strong, tasty, sharp, extra sharp, mature, old, or vintage - shows how long it is matured. Maybe calling it 'cheddar' on the package became redundant because it is the default cheese in Australia? You can get some mainstream and many artisan brands labelled as cheddar in the supermarkets though.
@@TristanKuhn Cheddar is a trademarked name, only cheese that is made in "CHEDDAR ENGLAND" can use the name Cheddar, same as Champagne only made in "CHAMPAGNE FRANCE" can use the name Champagne, everyone else can't so they use sparkling wine
The bike bell isn't to say get out of our way, its to alert pedestrians that you are coming past incase they randomly change directions and walk out infront of your path. A bit like if you are driving out of an alley or something and can't fully see the footpath you toot so pedestrians are alert to you coming out. No cyclist is ringing their bell to be rude, just a safety thing and most find it polite to ring.
It does take a bit of getting used to but I think most people understand after a while living here, especially considering how popular cycling is in Australia
Yes I like the bike bell ring. I prefer it to them verbally telling me "on your left, on your right" I get confused, I would probably move right into their cycle path.
Yeah it's important to ring when going pass obscured alleyways so you don't collide with anyone coming out. It would feel really weird to yell "I'm on a bike!" when there is no one there. Ringing your bell then is to let ppl know just in case
You forgot to mention about schools . All wear uniforms, no police presence, no active shooter drills, no metal detectors and kids bring their own lunch or purchase it from the school canteen 😊
sorry to be so offtopic but does any of you know of a way to get back into an instagram account..? I stupidly forgot my login password. I appreciate any help you can give me.
@Jamir Coen i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and im trying it out atm. I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
Cheddar cheese is sold in 3 varieties - mild, tasty and vintage. Mild is matured for 1 to 3 months, Tasty for over 6 months and Vintage for over 12 months. The longer the cheese is matured the more lactic acid accumulates and the sharper the cheese tastes. Hence Vintage tastes sharper than Tasty which is sharper than Mild.
Cheddaring is a cheese making process, and cheddar cheese is indeed cheddared during its production. Tasty is an age range for the cheese, a bit like buying scotch that's matured for 4, 8 or 12 years.
There is different slang the more rural u go . Lil things like u don’t say it’s cold u say fuck it’s cold . Dole bludgers are welfare recipients police are cops cigarettes are darts durries toby tailor mades . Beer can be a slab of beer a carton a box or getting on the piss .😂now that I think about it there is so many little things that wouldn’t make sense to other countries
@@stuartm2106 Yep. Tristan just needs to compare that to the varieties of cheddar as they are known in the US, i.e., tasty = ‘sharp’; extra tasty = ‘extra sharp’.
When Tristan says "in Australia" he often means "in Queensland". So many state and even town differences. Hence so many "never heard of this" comments from outside Queensland or Tristan's social circle. Not a complaint, but just something to think about that often explains things.
The good ol’ bike bell has saved many from being bowled over by a bike. People walking on a shared track don’t observe the walk on the left protocol and take up the whole space. We appreciate a bell ding to alert us to a bike approaching from behind. Also, if a group of people are taking up the whole track, the cyclist is not able to go around them. Bike bells are an essential tool for cyclists, just like car horns are essential for drivers.
We do get lawyer ads, at least here in Vic. I've heard Morris Blackburn and workcover law ads a million times School bus can go faster than 40kph, you just can't pass them faster than that Bike bells aren't compulsory, just recommended. You must have a crappy bell if it's ringing without you touching it Pretzels have never really caught on in Australia
Y’all have lawyer ads here but I feel like we have 10x as many in America. Thanks for correcting me on the school bus one. Regarding bike bells, I looked it up and you need some type of noise thing. Could be a bell or a horn
@@TristanKuhn Bike laws are set by individual States, so the bell requirement might not be nationwide. And ringing a bell isn't considered rude - quite the opposite. It's to alert other cyclists and pedestrians that you're coming from behind and want to pass. My pet peeve here in Victoria is that most cyclists DON'T use their bell. They just whizz silently right past and scare the crap out of you!
@Hypnomatic Hypnosis Good to know. I've watched a few of his videos now and they are all trash with 0 research done. You'd think if he was making videos like this he'd at least spend 5 minutes researching these "facts" first before posting so much incorrect bullshit.
The ads! I remember my first trip to America, I turned on my TV in the hotel room and I was AGHAST at the medication ads. "Make sure YOUR doctor is an XYZ doctor!" WHAT? WE ARE TALKING ABOUT MEDICATION HERE NOT THE LATEST FASHION. The other thing I noticed on their ads was lots of ads for, I think sone kind of college savings plans or insurance for your kid or something? It was confusing to me. This might be veering into political but elections. Six weeks campaigning and voting on a Saturday (or pre-voting is perfectly normalised here). As opposed to fucking YEARS and a billion primaries and honestly six weeks drives us crazy how the fuck do you all stand it?
Circumcision was fairly common in Australia until the 1970s. Around that time doctors started actively advising against it saying it was unnecessary and cruel (when performed on a newborn it is done without anaesthetic) and many of them refused to do it any more. It became much less common after that.
Neonatal circumcision is touted in America with all these so called benefits but actually they are extremely small if non-existent. Most first world countries have found that it is ethically wrong and cruel to cut on children with the exception of the USA. Circumcision in America is huge business with fees from doctors and hospitals and then the sale of the amputated foreskin to cosmetic and pharmaceuticals companies for millions of dollars each year, Unfortunately ethics take a back seat in American healthcare and money is main driving factor. Circumcision is just one example of thousands of questionable ethical practices that benefit the USA healthcare industry but not so much the patient.
@@gymrat3203 what the hell do they use foreskins for in cosmetics?? Are there millions of women and some men going around with ground foreskins on their faces 🤣
@@jemxs There are growth factors in newborn tissue (not just foreskin) and have been shown to reduce wrinkles etc. Oprah Winfrey uses it as well as Sandra Bullock. It is disgusting and despicable on every level. Hospitals are harvesting the foreskin for millions of dollars every year. They get away with by calling the amputated foreskin medical waste when in realty it is tissue harvesting. Google foreskin in cosmetics, it will sicken you.
Circumcision (for non Jewish) was introduced during the world wars (not sure which one) because men coming back from war had all sorts of infections and at that point circumcision got rid of it. Because they didn't know how long the war would go, they decided to circumcise all new babies to save them of future infections. Also very painful for adult males because they need stitches (which can pull under certain circumstances if you know what I mean)
The bike bell is a courtesy thing, just like stopping for pedestrians, no one wants to run into people on a pushie or with a car. Gotta take the good with the bad or annoying!
Also I thought I'd note that with the lawyer/medication ads, we do get a few lawyer ads in Australia but they're few and far between, and it's illegal to advertise prescription drugs but we do have ads for like antihistamines, cold and flu tablets, vitamin supplements etc.
Advertising differences really shocked me on my first few trips to the US. The US is one of the few countries to allow advertising for medical/pharmaceutical products. The argument for banning advertising is straightforward and likely the reason almost every country bans it. 1. Cost In the US, pharmaceutical companies have massive marketing budgets. In Australia, the vacuum that is created with the advertising ban is re-directed instead into R&D. In the end, spending on marketing helps increase cost and increase profit. By not spending on marketing, costs are reduced and the benefit is redirected to the patient rather than the shareholder. 2. Source of Advice Outside the US, pharmaceutical companies do market directly to pharmacists and doctors. This marketing can then be filtered at this level, and the drugs will eventually be prescribed (or not), by professionals that can take a holistic approach to the patient and the symptoms, prescribing what is most suitable and also it is their responsibility (and that of the prescribing pharmacist ) to ensure there are no contraindications in prescribing a particular medicine. However the US model of marketing to the public is seen as to be blunt - crazy! The reason being, that rather than a patient with symptoms seeking advice from a doctor and leaving the drug to their professional opinion, it encourages people who have some of the listed symptoms to seek the prescription directly from a doctor, which may alter the advice being given. So more or less the US model leads to higher costs and potential for over or unessential prescribing. In Australia there is also an emphasis on health outcomes and efficacy of drugs, with the government determining which drugs are able to be included on the PBS. The PBS is used as a mechanism to protect patients from higher out of pocket costs. All drugs on this list are subsidised capping the price of the drug of $41 (for general public) and $6.60 for those on a concession card. But drugs included in this are drugs that are completely unaffordable for the average American. Ledipasvir for example will cost USD $94,500 whereas if the drugs is required and prescribed (some of these higher level drugs have a government approval process), the cost is max $44 with the remaining $130,000 odd being paid by the government). That said, these are only added to the PBS once they are proven not only to work, but to provide an increase quality of life. Drugs might hit the shelf first in the US, but once they are added to the PBS the average Australian will have access to drugs that only the very wealthy with decent insurance plans will have access to in the US. Furthermore, even drugs outside the PBS are always much cheaper. The often cheapest prices in the US sold online (to reduce costs of having a physical pharmacy), will still be more expensive in most cases than an off the shelf in Australia The US has unfortunately got some of the highest drug prices - some of which could still be due to those pesky marketing costs.
Cheddar is aged at differing rates. It can be described as “mild” = not aged. Or “tasty” = aged more and has a stronger flavor. Cheese that is aged the most and has the strongest flavor is called “vintage”. Tasty is the most popular version.
Hey Tristan, your handball one is strange. I remember as a Aussie kid back 50 years ago, we called the 4 square handball game KP. The 4 spaces had names for each space being King, Queen, Jack and Dunce. When you couldn't return a ball properly you moved to the Dunce square. The object of the game was to reach the King square and stay there until the bell would ring signaling the end of recess. Those of us that did that got bragging rights, the poor ones that landed in dunce square at games end got " friendly teased " by your three other play mates during the class that followed recess. The game was very competitive and addictive, I lost count of the number of times I put holes in my school trousers around the knee area from trying to return serve with a killer bounce.
10 years ago when I played handball- we still had the same names for the squares. Only thing, we called it handball, not four square. Our school didn't have 4square squares (or if it did, not very many) so we used the gaps in the pavement. Oftentimes, that meant it wasn't 4 square. Sometimes we even played with all 4 squares in a row. So we just called it handball, but I've heard it both ways
I’m of about the same vintage. When the game arrived at my primary school in about 1963/1964 we called it “kingpin”. I guess that’s why you knew it as “KP”. My year was the first to play the game at that school. We thought it was such a good game that we took the game with us to high school, where we had organised tournaments played on the school’s concrete quadrangle, using the large concrete slabs for the court markings and with about 12 players actually playing and perhaps that number again lined up waiting their turn to join in when a player was “out” and hoping to advance to “King” before the bell went. Of the 12 playing positions, only the top-ranked 4 would be named as “King”, “Queen”, “Jack”, “Dunce. I think that the other positions might have been numbered but it is too long ago to remember clearly. Great times! I’m a school bus driver these days and whenever I see the kids playing “handball” as the now call it, I want to join in and play too. I might not be too good with those small squares that they use these days, however.
i played handball in primary school about 4 years ago and the names are king queen ace and dunce same rules except the aim is to get up to ace instead of kings very popular, when we moved to highschool only really grade sevens played it but everyone from all different schools knew all the rules already
lol you and cheese, tasty means it’s maturity age, i think it’s 6 months to a year, vintage means 1 plus years and mild just a few months, so in answer it’s all Cheddar but it’s about the age of the cheese.
@DK KK genital mutilation is a stone age religious thing, just 'because'. literally zero genuine medical reasons to mutilate the genitals, leave it for the people who still believe in a man in the sky.
@@Boozoobajou1 Where is the proof? Other than somebody's belief. Why is circumcision not considered body mutilation by some religions where so many other forms of alteration are? Plus weren't we made in God's image? So obviously religion is saying that even though he must have a foreskin (otherwise we would not be made with one), we are imperfect with one. Does that not put down God at the same time? I don't understand. Religion has so many contradictions, so therefore impossible to say what is right or wrong for both sides of the debate. I think he would want us to just be decent to everyone and believe what you need to believe and don't try and tell others they are right or wrong.
Not everywhere in America. All my life, (I lived in different places) my mail lady or mail man drive in their personal cars and just have a flag oneit so you know they're the mail. Idk what colors, I think pink or orange.
Tristan Kuhn that seems like it would take up too much time, getting in an out of a car and such. Stopping and starting up again. Motorcycles make more sense, no need to worry about all that. Just ride on the footpath/sidewalk and drop letters in the letter box/mail box. Simple, smart, easy, effective. Why combine both letters and big packages?! Doesn’t make sense, separate them into letter deliveries and parcel deliveries.
@@ActionJackson1982 What I see with the cars is that they have all the mail and if the mail box is on the left side of the road, they just put it in the mail box like normal but if the mail box is on the right side of the road, they have to reach all the way over the seat and put it in the mail box. Sometimes if there's a package in the mail but it's too big, they'll put it on your door step or sometimes even put it in your house. (Right by the door but inside instead if the weather is bad or something)
Do the postal workers deliver to mailboxes or to letter slots in the door? What’s more common? I’ve got friends in America that know their postal worker’s name because they deliver mail to the door. That would be rare in Australia.
Cheque’s are still around for things like volunteer organisations, but they are fading out as our financial institutions develop 2 stage authentication systems. The 40km is for someone passing a school bus that is pulled over to pick up or drop off kids, not the bus speed. Tasty cheese is aged cheddar. The longer it is aged , the more ‘Tasty’ it is. A young cheddar is very mild, an aged cheddar will have a sharp flavour profile. Often the packs will say how long it has been aged. In my opinion, the longer the better. I like a good 2 year aged cheddar. Yum.
In Australia (Qld) You don’t slow down to 40 when you are passing a bus or school bus that is dropping people or students off. (Bus stops are on 60, 70, 80 and even 90km / hr stretches of road) You do the legal speed limit of the road. If you slowed down when you passed every stopped bus you’d be rear-ended and cause a traffic accident. Buses can only pull ever if safe to do so on country roads or at a designated bus stop where they have been provided with enough room by the council (and every other vehicle maintains the speed signage) the 40 km/hr is just the school zone and is for every vehicle between 7-9am and 2-4pm on school days only.
I think we say some things differently for sure, we have different laws, different ads, are polite on the roads and on our bikes, have better phone plans, don't need a sh *t load of pretzels in our lives (except that one pack that no one eats at Xmas), and don't make a habit of mutilating baby boys "privates"at birth. We are Australian, not American, and we must have a little bit more sense maybe... I mean, look at your President ....that would not happen here, if it did the political party in government would have a leadership challenge and get rid of him quick smart!
We have such large mobile data plans because our broadband (or the "NBN shit-show" as it is more commonly known) is so slow and unreliable that we often have to swap to our mobile data to watch Netflix on our TV at home. I use a lot of my mobile data just because my internet is so slow that I cannot watch UA-cam, so I use my phone as a hotspot - this happens at least once per week.

Another one to add to your list. In Australian primary schools kids can’t go outside in the sun and play at break time unless they wear a hat. No hat they have to stay in the shade. It’s part of staying sun safe in schools. Also so the kids don’t get sunburnt of course.

I'm 64 the only people who weren't circumcised in my day were girls, something changed about 30 years ago when people started realising it was a ridiculous religious personification for circumcising the heart on an innocent child. Just like the Bible forbids the consumption of swine. Very animal the Phoenicians adored For its versatility of food.
This has probably been answered but "Tasty" cheese is a more mature cheddar than regular cheddar - it has a stronger taste. On the pretzel issue my wife loved living in the States for the pretzel section. I hate pretzels so it makes no difference to me.
Pretzels are more of an "I'm having people over and need snacks" thing in Australia. I've only ever seen the big cartoony New York-style pretzels twice in Australia: once in a German cafe and once in a wanky inner-Melbourne supermarket bakery.
@@TristanKuhn We do like the big bread-like Bavarian style pretzel they serve up in German themed pubs and restaurants here, with plenty of salt and butter. But the snack hasn't caught on here in any major way.
Given that American cheese is a crime against humanity, you really should have explored the subtleties of Australian cheese while you were here. Definitely something for next time.
I wonder if postal codes are because America has 13 times as many people as Australia. Texas has more people than the entire country of Australia. Wait, calamari is considered higher end on the mainland? That’s interesting to know. Here in Hawai’i, you can get calamari all over the place. It’s so common that my sister-in-law doesn’t like to eat it ‘cause she says it’s “bait”, since we use it for bait when we go fishing. Yeah, when I hear one of those bike bells, I feel like they’re honking their horn at me. I intentionally don’t get out of their way...but then again, in Hawai’i, bikes aren’t supposed to be riding on the sidewalks so pedestrians have the right of way. Wait, ambulances in Hawai’i also have “AMBULANCE” reversed. It’s not like that on the mainland? We also stop for pedestrians and are overly cautious and friendly too. But we’re even polite to other drivers. When merging onto the freeway, you’ll see people letting others in, and you’ll see people waving back to tell them “thank you for letting me cut in front of you”.
Hawaii is definitely different than the mainland in many ways. I had no idea calamari was cheap there though. And yes, I feel like the bike bells are like honks too
@@kayelle8005 You know, I used to think that ‘cause we get a lot of Australian tourists and I’ve always gotten along so well with them. But going through Tristan’s comments and it’s really changed my perception of Aussies. I don’t know if you’ve ever perused his comments section but a lot of them are really horrible, and it’s not just banter and sarcasm...I LIVE for those things, like Isaac Butterfield, I LOVE this humour. I’m talking about people saying homophobic stuff and calling us morons simply because we’re American. There are 13 times as many people in America as in Australia, so naturally we’re gonna have 13 times as many idiots, but to think of a nation as massive as America as a monolith is kinda bizarre to me.

Bra did you just include afro Americans as an immigrant population...... Not cool pretty sure theyre about as immigrant as the white pop but at least the whites chose to go
Squid (calamari) are fast overtaking - if it hasn't happened already, from various accounts - oceanic fish of all species in terms of raw numbers. Over-fishing has played a part, of course, but that's one of many reasons calamari is 'just another seafood option', rather than something exotic. Getting it cooked right is another thing altogether.
TASTY: “The term tasty is to describe the age, flavour and texture of cheddar cheese" CARS STOPPING: Australia law states all vehicles giveway to pedestrians dumb law haha 👍
With traffic violations here paying the fine is effectively pleading guilty to the offence and serving your punishment simultaneously. Nothing goes on a criminal record, except that you'll get demerit points on your driver's licence. You may elect to go to court (this option is on the ticket the police give you) and fight it but unless you have a *really* good defence, it's not worth it and will just cost you even more. More serious driving offences (drink-driving, high range speeding, dangerous driving, etc) will get you an automatic court appearance. "Tasty" cheese is very popular here and is just cheddar which has been matured a bit longer. Variants of it have different maturation ages to give different strengths and flavours.
Demerit points are certainly effective at making people wary of repeat offending. I can remember before they were introduced (yes, I am that old) people were a lot more blasé about being caught speeding.
I feel like anything he complains about is just Australians being caring or safe instead of being American, lol. America is literally SO rude. (I am American, and I wish I wasn't.)

Hi Tristan, I thought of another difference. In Australia 'we say we are going to hospital'. In USA they say 'we are going to THE hospital' Why do they say this?
The attitude to schooling has changed over the years. When I left school at the end of 1968 I had only completed year ten. Of the group of apprentices who started work on the same day in January, 1969 by far the majority had only completed year ten. More than that was considered over educated. Now many employers now will not contemplate an application unless the applicant has completed year twelve. Bike bells would seem to be a state legislated requirement. Quite frankly I believe they should be mandatory country wide. I walk a lot rather than drive because I need the exercise. I regularly get a fright when a cyclist goes past me with no warning. Circumcision is a culture which has changed. In the 1950s when I was born by far the majority were circumcised. Now I believe it is very rare. What the rationale behind it was I do not know. I have known a few people who have been done in later life due to phimosis. I do not remember being done at birth but it must really hurt a lot because I couldn't walk for the best part of a year afterwards. Sorry for the corny joke but I do like corny jokes. One reason why some of our infrastructure is lacking is quite simple. We have the population of a large city (about 25 million) spread over a very large area. Thank you for your clips. I am enjoying them immensely. In fact I have subscribed.

Where I live in Canberra - school buses are the standard local buses that have different signs on the front. When they aren't being used for school runs they are used on standard routes.
We have "tents" over our cars in parking lots because its sooo dammed hot. When u do ur shopping and get back in ur car, its roasting at 50 - 70c. Generally u open all windows turn on the a/c let out as much of that heat and then ur good to go so long as u have a cloth to hold the steering wheel with otherwise u will burn ur hands. So now we have tents in parking lots.

circumcision was more popular a few decades back but has fallen by the wayside..as an older woman it has been pretty rare for me to come across a man not circumcised...
The circumcision thing is hilarious! It used to be very common - ahem, I'm sixty - but then with the influx of postwar migration from the UK (usually not) and Europe (almost never) we realised that all it takes in a hot country to stay, ummm, nice, is regular showering. It started to die out in the seventies and it is now very uncommon.
@@rfarid I know. Outrageous! The funny thing is that I am the youngest of three brothers, born Tasmania (1943), Washington DC (1949) and Sydney (1960). The oldest was not "done", and my mother didn't want number 2 "done' in the US either, but was told, "OK, but we have to take a little bit for hygiene". They botched it , and she took one horrified look and said "finish it". When I came along it was 1960 Sydney, and the fashion wave had reached Australia and she just agreed to it. My own son is intact, and I drummed into his head the need for careful cleaning. "Problem" solved.
im australian there are some lawyer and medicen adds panadole and pain relife stuff as for school busses the schools dont own the buss they pay the loacl buss company to send busses
Most of these are opinionated from a silly Yank. I'm an American who has been living and working in Australia for over a year and have traveled all over the country. This guy is your typical American who has never even left the country much. He can't even spell "digit" right!
I don’t know about the medicine and lawyer ads, ask any Aussie what law firms they are familiar with, Shine Lawyers will probably be their first or at least in the top 3. There are definitely ads for law firms, though maybe not as many. Also, there are plenty of ads for medicines, though perhaps not for over the counter drugs. There’s definitely ads for pain relief, allergy medication etc.
From my understanding about the whole prostitution thing (this might just be NSW, I’ve never really looked into it) you have to be working for a licensed venue without a pimp. It really is about safety and all that, you don’t really see brothels and all that either, I don’t think they’re allowed to advertise.
There's heaps of brothels in NSW and quite a few in Victoria as well (at least pre-COVID, not sure what effect that's had in their business model). In 2015, NSW was estimated to have around 340 (legal) brothels and Victoria, 85. Queensland had 20, and I don't believe brothels are legal in other states (private work only). www.smh.com.au/national/nsw/sex-in-the-suburbs-where-are-sydney-s-red-light-districts-20190621-p51zxr.html#:~:text=A%202015%20NSW%20parliamentary%20report,the%20state%20the%20same%20year.
In ACT the brothels are classified as commercial enterprises, and they need licensed premises with a commercial zoning, So they are all in the industrial suburbs (Fyshwyck and Mitchell), between the hardware megastores and the printers’ workshops.
ABOUT CHEESE: Prior to about 1970, even in the major cities, the choices of cheese at the grocer were very limited: bland Kraft Processed Cheddar in foil and blue cardboard; very bland Kraft Velveeta in foil and yellow cardboard; and unprocessed locally made block cheese which had stronger flavour (which was always in the style of English Cheddar). If you wanted the sandwich hand making your lunch to use the block cheese you asked for "tasty cheese"; if you had asked for cheddar you probably would have wound up with the processed stuff. From the 1970s with immigration specialist cheese shops have opened in the major cities and have educated the populace somewhat. However "tasty cheese" is still well understood among older folk - and country areas I imagine.
Tristan I'm sorry to tell you but some one has sent led you up the garden path regarding Australian school buses,they can go more than fourty they can do the speed limits just like cars what the fourty kilometer speed limit is, is the speed all vehicles must do in what is called "school zones" generally one/two hundred meters either side of a school and this school zone speed limit is only enforced during school drop of and pick up times generally from around eight o'clock to nine thirty in the morning and two thirty to four in the afternoon this is for safety keep the comparisons between our two countries Australia and America Paul
I ride along the River Torrens here in Adelaide. During rush hour the shared path gets quite busy. I can’t imagine multiple cyclists yelling ‘on your right’ instead of using a bell to alert pedestrians. But what you’ve said, does explain to me why some people don’t respond to bells.

you have the school bus wrong, the 40 km you see on it is, when the bus stops you can’t drive past it at more than 40km This protects anyone travelling from being hit should they be silly and walk in front of the bus to cross the road, then they only get hit at 40km so hopefully it’s not life threatening. it’s like a travelling school zone, so if you see a bus stopped when driving always slow down. we have same rule now for emergency services now here to, if you see flashing lights from any emergency services cop, ambo or fireman then you must slow down to pass them, or you will get a ticket, it’s all about the safety of who maybe coming out of them vehicles. keep theses up i’m loving them.
Maz De Hay is correct.... in rural australia where kids commute 100 klms to school, is common place for bus to travel at between 80-110 kph.
That makes a lot more sense. Thanks for sharing
Tristan Kuhn is it true that American School buses pick kids up from their homes? Our buses only pick up and drop off at designated stops.
@@happycamper897 officially a bus should be governed to 100kph... depending on state, all school buses must now be seatbelt equipped (mixed use are exempt, ie. The Ansair-Oriana model in the video, because it is public transit used for school charter)...
@Kerryn Simmons I'm guessing that it's not every house but every block?
@Maz De Hay - the fuzzy exemption to the Emergency Services slow to 40kph law is to "make every effort to slow to 40kph when passing" - I had the "heated discussion" with a Senior Constable of the Victorian Highway Patrol about passing them at 67kph (100kph zone on a sweeping left bend) in an semi-trailer, i asked them (and their Inspector later, who cancelled the fine) was it safer to lock on all brakes and jackknife or keep control and stable to pass, also they'd parked illegally. When parked opposite a solid centre line you must be parked with no part of your vehicle in the drivable lane, thank you to the dash cam and road rule book.

Re circumcision - most Australian guys between WW1 & the mid 1970s were circumcised -
I'm glad you're hanging out with a younger crowd :) !
On the subject of cheese - Tasty is Tasty vs Mild. You can also get Extra Tasty if that's your thing.
Whoever told you the 40km/hr limit got it wrong. In Australia Every suburban school zone (roads in front of schools) limits all vehicles speed to 40km/hr from 7-9am and 2-4pm on school days. (Due to increased traffic on these roads, pickup and drop off and For child safety as they walk to school and across roads etc) Also School buses can look a bit different depending where you go; they can look like council public buses (Ike the one you showed) or coaches like what Americans would call greyhounds or even smaller shuttle buses. School Buses can definitely go any legal speed just like a car along suburban streets or the highways as well. Some big coaches can’t go 110 km/hr as they have a speed limit on their manufacture but the rest of the buses definitely all travel up to 100 km/hr with kids and the public in them.
In SA near most if not all schools, you have to slow to 25km/hr
Lyn Andrews The schools zones near me are 60k. Normal speed around me, depending on the roads, are 80 or 90O. When I have to go into more built up areas, the 40 zones drive me bonkers. Glad I don’t do it often, you get used to what you know I guess.
@@cathie-aussiegirl6547 👍 Yep, I edited my post as I should have said (inner city or suburban school zones are 40km/hr in school days) Some regional areas often have schools on roads/highways that have much higher speed limits. So like you said some have higher adjusted speed limits. This is from Department of transport:
School zones are permitted on roads adjacent to schools where there is significant school related activity on and beside the road.
Speed limits which apply include:
40km/h on roads where the existing limit is 50km/h, 60km/h or 70km/h
60km/h on roads where the existing limit is 80km/h
60km/h or 80km/h on roads where the speed limit is 90km/h or 100km/h, depending on the amount of school related activity on or near the road
80km/h on roads where the existing limit is 110km/h.
Buildings here are (usually) also numbered with the odds on one side and the evens on the other. I was going to say left and right, but it kind of depends which way you're going :) Also, if a big building takes up more than one zoned block, it'll be listed as, say, 255-259 Something Street.
You are great to listen too and watch. You do great vloggs. Keep up the great vloggs and thanks for sharing.
Thanks William!
I live in western Australia, I’ve never heard of school buses having speed limits. But here, only country area schools tend to have school buses. In Perth, primary schools don’t have buses and the high schools generally use the public buses as the kids come from a bigger radius.
Also in WA it’s called four square!
Live in regional Victorian city, we have school buses for high school but you have to pay as if they were public buses.
Yeah I call it four square, also from WA
I believe he’s just referring to the speed limit in a school zone
Ambulance is written backwards in the US too. I just moved to perth from US. Love your videos.
Circumcision was popular here in the 60s and 70s not sure about today though.
It was almost universal until about 1950, and then started to decline because of an article in the British Medical Journal in 1948 called “The Fate of the Foreskin”. In the mid-Sixties the rate was supposedly about 50% (though it seemed in the showers at school that my class was more like 95% circumcised and me). In the Seventies circumcisions became clearly the minority and in the Eighties unusual. Since 2000 I heard conflicting reports: figure of 10-15% show up when you research the rate, but my friends and relations in the medical profession tell me that “no doctors in New South Wales” or “only one obstetrician in Queensland” do routine circs without a specific medical indication.
@@brettevill9055 bingo.
The 's' in Mardi Gras is silent.

I cringe when people pronounce it.
I think the reason there are more lawyer ads in America is that lawyers there can get a percentage fee for every win they get in court, so the quantity of cases makes a big difference for them (like if the person wins $100, they could have agreed the lawyer would take $10). That is illegal in Australia, lawyers can only charge based on the actual work done (either a fixed quote or by number of hours worked etc), so if they have enough work going on there isn't quite as much motivation to get extra clients
Buses in Australia can go more than 40 km/h the 40 km sign on the back of the bus means if the lights are flashing on the back of the bus whether the 40 sign is then that means if you are behind the bus you have to go 40 km not the bus
Cheddar cheese comes from Cheddar in the UK. Tasty has a cheddar like taste, but isn't cheddar. The Brits don't mind other countries adopting their food and drink names, but the French and Italians hate it. Tasty is a crap cheese.
Cheddar isn't tasty cheese! Cheddar is mild-tasty has more bite!
Adverstising medicinal drugs are illegal yes but panadol and ibuprofen and like cold and flu meds/losengers are common ads
Because they can be purchased over the counter and are not considered to be medications.
Re #25, it's simple:- you can't call Australian tasty cheese 'Cheddar', because it's not from Cheddar (Cheddar is a major cheese-producing region in England FYI), even though it might be made with traditional Cheddar methods; much as we don't call a good Australian pinot-noir a 'Burgundy' ~ because it's not from Burgundy.
Protected Origin designations are actually enshrined in our trade-deals with Europe (where it's law).
Tasty cheese is just generic Australian cheddar cheese. You can also get Extra Tasty cheese which is just more mature and Lite Tasty which is low fat. I imagine they call it Tasty Cheese instead of cheddar to not mix up with American cheddar cheese
tasty cheese is just the company though.. wait I'm confused now
The covered parking spaces are common in QLD. It stops you car getting hot while it sits in the sun.
I'm on the NSW Central Coast; they're fairly common here too.
Tasty cheese is just cheddar. The mass-produced versions have flavour ratings - mild, medium, strong, tasty, sharp, extra sharp, mature, old, or vintage - shows how long it is matured. Maybe calling it 'cheddar' on the package became redundant because it is the default cheese in Australia? You can get some mainstream and many artisan brands labelled as cheddar in the supermarkets though.
Good to know. It always confused me. I thought it was a brand of cheese for the longest time haha
Cheddar cheese is bland !! Aka “ Kraft cheddar cheese ! Bulk cheese slices are bland cheddar cheese ( tasteless )
Yeah I have read the reason they call it tasty is to avoid association with the bland Kraft version.

Ringing the bell isn’t considered rude. It’s just them saying “I’m passing you”. It’s for safety.
The bike bell isn't to say get out of our way, its to alert pedestrians that you are coming past incase they randomly change directions and walk out infront of your path. A bit like if you are driving out of an alley or something and can't fully see the footpath you toot so pedestrians are alert to you coming out. No cyclist is ringing their bell to be rude, just a safety thing and most find it polite to ring.
It does take a bit of getting used to but I think most people understand after a while living here, especially considering how popular cycling is in Australia
Yes I like the bike bell ring. I prefer it to them verbally telling me "on your left, on your right" I get confused, I would probably move right into their cycle path.

Cheddar is the variety of cheese, “tasty” is the term to describe the age, texture and flavour
Cheddar cheese is sold in 3 varieties - mild, tasty and vintage. Mild is matured for 1 to 3 months, Tasty for over 6 months and Vintage for over 12 months. The longer the cheese is matured the more lactic acid accumulates and the sharper the cheese tastes. Hence Vintage tastes sharper than Tasty which is sharper than Mild.
Cheddaring is a cheese making process, and cheddar cheese is indeed cheddared during its production. Tasty is an age range for the cheese, a bit like buying scotch that's matured for 4, 8 or 12 years.

The good ol’ bike bell has saved many from being bowled over by a bike. People walking on a shared track don’t observe the walk on the left protocol and take up the whole space. We appreciate a bell ding to alert us to a bike approaching from behind. Also, if a group of people are taking up the whole track, the cyclist is not able to go around them.

Circumcision was fairly common in Australia until the 1970s. Around that time doctors started actively advising against it saying it was unnecessary and cruel (when performed on a newborn it is done without anaesthetic) and many of them refused to do it any more. It became much less common after that.
Sometimes still done by request for some but most are only done by medical necessity. But yeah common until 1970s.
Neonatal circumcision is touted in America with all these so called benefits but actually they are extremely small if non-existent. Most first world countries have found that it is ethically wrong and cruel to cut on children with the exception of the USA. Circumcision in America is huge business with fees from doctors and hospitals and then the sale of the amputated foreskin to cosmetic and pharmaceuticals companies for millions of dollars each year, Unfortunately ethics take a back seat in American healthcare and money is main driving factor. Circumcision is just one example of thousands of questionable ethical practices that benefit the USA healthcare industry but not so much the patient.
@@gymrat3203 what the hell do they use foreskins for in cosmetics?? Are there millions of women and some men going around with ground foreskins on their faces 🤣
@@jemxs There are growth factors in newborn tissue (not just foreskin) and have been shown to reduce wrinkles etc. Oprah Winfrey uses it as well as Sandra Bullock. It is disgusting and despicable on every level. Hospitals are harvesting the foreskin for millions of dollars every year. They get away with by calling the amputated foreskin medical waste when in realty it is tissue harvesting. Google foreskin in cosmetics, it will sicken you.
Circumcision (for non Jewish) was introduced during the world wars (not sure which one) because men coming back from war had all sorts of infections and at that point circumcision got rid of it. Because they didn't know how long the war would go, they decided to circumcise all new babies to save them of future infections. Also very painful for adult males because they need stitches (which can pull under certain circumstances if you know what I mean)
The bike bell is a courtesy thing, just like stopping for pedestrians, no one wants to run into people on a pushie or with a car. Gotta take the good with the bad or annoying!

Also I thought I'd note that with the lawyer/medication ads, we do get a few lawyer ads in Australia but they're few and far between, and it's illegal to advertise prescription drugs but we do have ads for like antihistamines, cold and flu tablets, vitamin supplements etc.
Yeah i was gonna say there's always some ad running for Shine Lawyers or something similar here, and heaps of non prescription medication ads here too
Advertising differences really shocked me on my first few trips to the US. The US is one of the few countries to allow advertising for medical/pharmaceutical products.
The argument for banning advertising is straightforward and likely the reason almost every country bans it.
1. Cost
In the US, pharmaceutical companies have massive marketing budgets. In Australia, the vacuum that is created with the advertising ban is re-directed instead into R&D. In the end, spending on marketing helps increase cost and increase profit. By not spending on marketing, costs are reduced and the benefit is redirected to the patient rather than the shareholder.
2. Source of Advice
Outside the US, pharmaceutical companies do market directly to pharmacists and doctors. This marketing can then be filtered at this level, and the drugs will eventually be prescribed (or not), by professionals that can take a holistic approach to the patient and the symptoms, prescribing what is most suitable and also it is their responsibility (and that of the prescribing pharmacist ) to ensure there are no contraindications in prescribing a particular medicine.
However the US model of marketing to the public is seen as to be blunt - crazy! The reason being, that rather than a patient with symptoms seeking advice from a doctor and leaving the drug to their professional opinion, it encourages people who have some of the listed symptoms to seek the prescription directly from a doctor, which may alter the advice being given.
So more or less the US model leads to higher costs and potential for over or unessential prescribing.
In Australia there is also an emphasis on health outcomes and efficacy of drugs, with the government determining which drugs are able to be included on the PBS. The PBS is used as a mechanism to protect patients from higher out of pocket costs. All drugs on this list are subsidised capping the price of the drug of $41 (for general public) and $6.60 for those on a concession card. But drugs included in this are drugs that are completely unaffordable for the average American.
Ledipasvir for example will cost USD $94,500 whereas if the drugs is required and prescribed (some of these higher level drugs have a government approval process), the cost is max $44 with the remaining $130,000 odd being paid by the government). That said, these are only added to the PBS once they are proven not only to work, but to provide an increase quality of life. Drugs might hit the shelf first in the US, but once they are added to the PBS the average Australian will have access to drugs that only the very wealthy with decent insurance plans will have access to in the US. Furthermore, even drugs outside the PBS are always much cheaper.
The often cheapest prices in the US sold online (to reduce costs of having a physical pharmacy), will still be more expensive in most cases than an off the shelf in Australia
The US has unfortunately got some of the highest drug prices - some of which could still be due to those pesky marketing costs.
Cheddar is aged at differing rates. It can be described as “mild” = not aged. Or “tasty” = aged more and has a stronger flavor. Cheese that is aged the most and has the strongest flavor is called “vintage”. Tasty is the most popular version.

Hey Tristan, I notice you r attracting some interesting people commenting! Good luck to you 😉
Hey Tristan, your handball one is strange. I remember as a Aussie kid back 50 years ago, we called the 4 square handball game KP. The 4 spaces had names for each space being King, Queen, Jack and Dunce. When you couldn't return a ball properly you moved to the Dunce square. The object of the game was to reach the King square and stay there until the bell would ring signaling the end of recess. Those of us that did that got bragging rights, the poor ones that landed in dunce square at games end got " friendly teased " by your three other play mates during the class that followed recess. The game was very competitive and addictive, I lost count of the number of times I put holes in my school trousers around the knee area from trying to return serve with a killer bounce.
10 years ago when I played handball- we still had the same names for the squares. Only thing, we called it handball, not four square. Our school didn't have 4square squares (or if it did, not very many) so we used the gaps in the pavement. Oftentimes, that meant it wasn't 4 square. Sometimes we even played with all 4 squares in a row. So we just called it handball, but I've heard it both ways
I remember playing handball at school back in the 70's and 80's...
I’m of about the same vintage. When the game arrived at my primary school in about 1963/1964 we called it “kingpin”. I guess that’s why you knew it as “KP”. My year was the first to play the game at that school. We thought it was such a good game that we took the game with us to high school, where we had organised tournaments played on the school’s concrete quadrangle, using the large concrete slabs for the court markings and with about 12 players actually playing and perhaps that number again lined up waiting their turn to join in when a player was “out” and hoping to advance to “King” before the bell went. Of the 12 playing positions, only the top-ranked 4 would be named as “King”, “Queen”, “Jack”, “Dunce. I think that the other positions might have been numbered but it is too long ago to remember clearly. Great times! I’m a school bus driver these days and whenever I see the kids playing “handball” as the now call it, I want to join in and play too. I might not be too good with those small squares that they use these days, however.
i played handball in primary school about 4 years ago and the names are king queen ace and dunce same rules except the aim is to get up to ace instead of kings very popular, when we moved to highschool only really grade sevens played it but everyone from all different schools knew all the rules already
lol you and cheese, tasty means it’s maturity age, i think it’s 6 months to a year, vintage means 1 plus years and mild just a few months, so in answer it’s all Cheddar but it’s about the age of the cheese.
Don't get me started with circumcisions, leave the body online we don't need body modification or mutilating anything. It's weird
@DK KK genital mutilation is a stone age religious thing, just 'because'. literally zero genuine medical reasons to mutilate the genitals, leave it for the people who still believe in a man in the sky.
@@GTRwilson If the man in the sky wanted us to remove it, he just wouldn't have put it there to begin with. Lol
@@ozdocwho5177 Jesus had it done.
@@Boozoobajou1 Where is the proof? Other than somebody's belief. Why is circumcision not considered body mutilation by some religions where so many other forms of alteration are? Plus weren't we made in God's image? So obviously religion is saying that even though he must have a foreskin (otherwise we would not be made with one), we are imperfect with one. Does that not put down God at the same time? I don't understand. Religion has so many contradictions, so therefore impossible to say what is right or wrong for both sides of the debate. I think he would want us to just be decent to everyone and believe what you need to believe and don't try and tell others they are right or wrong.

So are you saying Americans use postie vans just for a letter? They’re used for packages here
Not everywhere in America. All my life, (I lived in different places) my mail lady or mail man drive in their personal cars and just have a flag oneit so you know they're the mail. Idk what colors, I think pink or orange.
I’ve never seen someone deliver any type of mail by motorcycle. I think we use cars for everything, even letters
Tristan Kuhn that seems like it would take up too much time, getting in an out of a car and such. Stopping and starting up again. Motorcycles make more sense, no need to worry about all that. Just ride on the footpath/sidewalk and drop letters in the letter box/mail box. Simple, smart, easy, effective. Why combine both letters and big packages?! Doesn’t make sense, separate them into letter deliveries and parcel deliveries.
@@ActionJackson1982 What I see with the cars is that they have all the mail and if the mail box is on the left side of the road, they just put it in the mail box like normal but if the mail box is on the right side of the road, they have to reach all the way over the seat and put it in the mail box. Sometimes if there's a package in the mail but it's too big, they'll put it on your door step or sometimes even put it in your house. (Right by the door but inside instead if the weather is bad or something)
Do the postal workers deliver to mailboxes or to letter slots in the door? What’s more common? I’ve got friends in America that know their postal worker’s name because they deliver mail to the door. That would be rare in Australia.
Cheque’s are still around for things like volunteer organisations, but they are fading out as our financial institutions develop 2 stage authentication systems.
The 40km is for someone passing a school bus that is pulled over to pick up or drop off kids, not the bus speed.
Tasty cheese is aged cheddar. The longer it is aged , the more ‘Tasty’ it is. A young cheddar is very mild, an aged cheddar will have a sharp flavour profile. Often the packs will say how long it has been aged. In my opinion, the longer the better. I like a good 2 year aged cheddar. Yum.
Good to know. Thanks for pointing out my bus mistake
In Australia (Qld) You don’t slow down to 40 when you are passing a bus or school bus that is dropping people or students off. (Bus stops are on 60, 70, 80 and even 90km / hr stretches of road) You do the legal speed limit of the road. If you slowed down when you passed every stopped bus you’d be rear-ended and cause a traffic accident. Buses can only pull ever if safe to do so on country roads or at a designated bus stop where they have been provided with enough room by the council (and every other vehicle maintains the speed signage) the 40 km/hr is just the school zone and is for every vehicle between 7-9am and 2-4pm on school days only.
@@lynandrews1033 Public buses, you don't have to slow down, but specifically marked school buses, yes you do have to slow to 40 kph

Another one to add to your list. In Australian primary schools kids can’t go outside in the sun and play at break time unless they wear a hat. No hat they have to stay in the shade. It’s part of staying sun safe in schools. Also so the kids don’t get sunburnt of course.

This has probably been answered but "Tasty" cheese is a more mature cheddar than regular cheddar - it has a stronger taste. On the pretzel issue my wife loved living in the States for the pretzel section. I hate pretzels so it makes no difference to me.
Guess pretzels just aren’t really popular over here
Pretzels are more of an "I'm having people over and need snacks" thing in Australia. I've only ever seen the big cartoony New York-style pretzels twice in Australia: once in a German cafe and once in a wanky inner-Melbourne supermarket bakery.
@@TristanKuhn We do like the big bread-like Bavarian style pretzel they serve up in German themed pubs and restaurants here, with plenty of salt and butter. But the snack hasn't caught on here in any major way.
Given that American cheese is a crime against humanity, you really should have explored the subtleties of Australian cheese while you were here. Definitely something for next time.
I wonder if postal codes are because America has 13 times as many people as Australia. Texas has more people than the entire country of Australia.
Wait, calamari is considered higher end on the mainland? That’s interesting to know. Here in Hawai’i, you can get calamari all over the place. It’s so common that my sister-in-law doesn’t like to eat it ‘cause she says it’s “bait”, since we use it for bait when we go fishing.
Yeah, when I hear one of those bike bells, I feel like they’re honking their horn at me. I intentionally don’t get out of their way...but then again, in Hawai’i, bikes aren’t supposed to be riding on the sidewalks so pedestrians have the right of way.
Wait, ambulances in Hawai’i also have “AMBULANCE” reversed. It’s not like that on the mainland?
We also stop for pedestrians and are overly cautious and friendly too. But we’re even polite to other drivers. When merging onto the freeway, you’ll see people letting others in, and you’ll see people waving back to tell them “thank you for letting me cut in front of you”.
Hawaii is definitely different than the mainland in many ways. I had no idea calamari was cheap there though. And yes, I feel like the bike bells are like honks too
Now i want to visit Hawaii. Sounds laid back like Australia.
@@kayelle8005 You know, I used to think that ‘cause we get a lot of Australian tourists and I’ve always gotten along so well with them. But going through Tristan’s comments and it’s really changed my perception of Aussies. I don’t know if you’ve ever perused his comments section but a lot of them are really horrible, and it’s not just banter and sarcasm...I LIVE for those things, like Isaac Butterfield, I LOVE this humour. I’m talking about people saying homophobic stuff and calling us morons simply because we’re American. There are 13 times as many people in America as in Australia, so naturally we’re gonna have 13 times as many idiots, but to think of a nation as massive as America as a monolith is kinda bizarre to me. Tristan is from Texas, and there are 2 million more people in Texas than are in all of Australia.

Bra did you just include afro Americans as an immigrant population...... Not cool pretty sure theyre about as immigrant as the white pop but at least the whites chose to go
My 'current' cheque book has '19__' at the top for the date. It's still half full.
Squid (calamari) are fast overtaking - if it hasn't happened already, from various accounts - oceanic fish of all species in terms of raw numbers. Over-fishing has played a part, of course, but that's one of many reasons calamari is 'just another seafood option', rather than something exotic. Getting it cooked right is another thing altogether.
Also you can't just go and see a specialist doctor unless you have a referral from your general practitioner.

TASTY: “The term tasty is to describe the age, flavour and texture of cheddar cheese"
CARS STOPPING: Australia law states all vehicles giveway to pedestrians dumb law haha 👍
With traffic violations here paying the fine is effectively pleading guilty to the offence and serving your punishment simultaneously. Nothing goes on a criminal record, except that you'll get demerit points on your driver's licence. You may elect to go to court (this option is on the ticket the police give you) and fight it but unless you have a *really* good defence, it's not worth it and will just cost you even more. More serious driving offences (drink-driving, high range speeding, dangerous driving, etc) will get you an automatic court appearance.
"Tasty" cheese is very popular here and is just cheddar which has been matured a bit longer. Variants of it have different maturation ages to give different strengths and flavours.
We don’t have a demerit point system but it would be smart for us to adopt
Demerit points are certainly effective at making people wary of repeat offending. I can remember before they were introduced (yes, I am that old) people were a lot more blasé about being caught speeding.
I feel like anything he complains about is just Australians being caring or safe instead of being American, lol. America is literally SO rude. (I am American, and I wish I wasn't.)
googled the last one for everyone - ‘Cheddar is the variety of cheese, “tasty” is the term to describe the age, texture and flavour.’

Hi Tristan, I thought of another difference. In Australia 'we say we are going to hospital'. In USA they say 'we are going to THE hospital' Why do they say this?
The attitude to schooling has changed over the years. When I left school at the end of 1968 I had only completed year ten. Of the group of apprentices who started work on the same day in January, 1969 by far the majority had only completed year ten. More than that was considered over educated. Now many employers now will not contemplate an application unless the applicant has completed year twelve.
Bike bells would seem to be a state legislated requirement. Quite frankly I believe they should be mandatory country wide. I walk a lot rather than drive because I need the exercise. I regularly get a fright when a cyclist goes past me with no warning.
Circumcision is a culture which has changed. In the 1950s when I was born by far the majority were circumcised. Now I believe it is very rare. What the rationale behind it was I do not know. I have known a few people who have been done in later life due to phimosis. I do not remember being done at birth but it must really hurt a lot because I couldn't walk for the best part of a year afterwards. Sorry for the corny joke but I do like corny jokes.
One reason why some of our infrastructure is lacking is quite simple. We have the population of a large city (about 25 million) spread over a very large area.

You missed the most important difference. We don't have Trump - Yipeeeeeeee!!!
ABOUT CHEESE: Prior to about 1970, even in the major cities, the choices of cheese at the grocer were very limited: bland Kraft Processed Cheddar in foil and blue cardboard; very bland Kraft Velveeta in foil and yellow cardboard; and unprocessed locally made block cheese which had stronger flavour (which was always in the style of English Cheddar). If you wanted the sandwich hand making your lunch to use the block cheese you asked for "tasty cheese"; if you had asked for cheddar you probably would have wound up with the processed stuff. From the 1970s with immigration specialist cheese shops have opened in the major cities and have educated the populace somewhat. However "tasty cheese" is still well understood among older folk - and country areas I imagine.
