the 'electric grills' are bbq's. they are all over the place, they are (usually) square flat plate with a drain hole in the middle, they are electric or gas and compleatly free to use. its very common to have a kids birthday at a park were you have a bbq. the councils usually do a pretty good job of keeping them clean as well.
what I do is go to Coles I'm not sure about Woolies in the BBQ section you can buy Teflon hotplate covers for $5 or there about spray a little oil on the BBQ plate that will hold them down fire up the BBQ and off you go. I usually bring 2 or 3 so if you want to cook something with a marinade that might leave a sticky residue like my Spicy Honey Soy chicken drum sticks as soon as your finished cooking that you can whip it off the BBQ put down a new one and off you go cooking snags and steak without a problem I even use them at home when I'm doing a roast or something in the oven. They have the advantage of being non-stick. when you get home grab a baking tray or a plastic chopping board put some soapy water in the sink use the tray as a wash board, a quick scrub dry them off roll them up till you need them next time. hell I've even put them in the top of the dishwasher with a tray on top if I'm feeling lazy.
@@alankohn6709 this man BBQs
Bring a cut lemon to the BBQ. It's great for cleaning the plate.
@@li22ietopper26 My father always favoured beer and scrunched up alfoil but I'll give the lemon juice a try but I think I'll still use the Teflon sheets because there are non-stick and to be on the safe side but I will try the lemon juice.
Also good for smaller, more casual, inexpensive weddings in the more picturesque parks. You can then ' sava da money ' for a professional photographer to produce beautiful wedding photos which are actually a better investment on the day.
Great sunlight on water and through flowers and leaves background shots. You might even get a few of the usually curious parrots photo bombing. The seaside parks are perfect for sunrise or sunset ( depending on which coast ) wedding shots....though be ready to be photo bombed by some scruffy seagulls there. Just scatter a parcel of hot chips at a good distance.
If you want to go the extra pile on, you can have a catering on wheels service deliver a variety of desserts and cold beverages.
“Traffic circles” are called a “roundabout” in Australia.
same here
@@TheCommodity And just for some trivia , remember vaguely some years in Victoria/Australia reading somewhere the road traffic authorities wanted 80% of intersections to be roundabouts , i dont know if they achieved that figure , but we do have a lot of them .
Looking at the road systems and accidents around the world via the tube , i think we have a pretty decent road system .
FYI traffic circles ARE NOT roundabouts... Australia has roundabouts. Traffic circles expect people in the middle to stop for merging traffic, roundabouts merging traffic waits for those in the middle
The one thing, as an Australian that actively drives me nuts in the USA, being that I have a daughter there and travel there allot, is that tax is not included in the listed price there. Here all prices are tax inclusive.
I know right! I mean, why wouldn't you?
That drove me nuts as well! Especially doing a grocery shop with lots of items. I was so relieved when I left the US for Canada only to discover they did the same thing there! 🤣😂
A BILLION LIKES FOR YOU SIR. The nth american "include tax at checkout'" is SOOO Annoying!!
Tristan is from Texas! Really enjoyed his videos while he was travelling through Australia. It's unfortunate that it was during covid so he didn't get to experience it fully open.
Tristan's travel vlogs - while he was in OZ last year - were pretty good. Admittedly, they are just one American's perspective while travelling on a budget up/down the East Coast, but still they were way more realistic, more entertaining and more informative than any of those flashy "drone postcard" scenery montages (IMO) that tell you nothing.
His "list" videos (like this one) about Australia are some of the best (i.e. the most accurate) on YT. They are made from his own on-the-ground experiences - compared to most of the "top 10" videos made about Australia that are often full of outdated or just plain wrong info - usually made by people that have never stepped foot in the place.
I'm afraid those "lagoons" are really only in Queensland, and mostly because you can't swim in the sea for half the year due to the marine stingers 🤣
But you'll find nearly every town has an Olympic swimming pool, even very small rural towns, a legacy from the 1956 Olympics held in Melbourne.
Yes the lagoons are mostly FNQ and one in Brisbane city. Haven't seen them anywhere else. But many of the beaches around Sydney for example, have ocean pools where kids can safely swim.
@@Teagirl009 There are a few in NSW. One about 5k from my place at The Entrance, Central Coast.
we have one at Terrigal NSW
Theres a few in the TOp End like Darwin
@@micko11154 are you talking about Tuggerah Lakes, near the bridge and the channel, down near where the pelican feeding is?...
didn't know that was referred to as a lagoon, thought it was just the tidal entrance channel to the lake from the ocean... the channel opening that constantly silts up because some d/h councillor back in the 60's(?) decided it would be a good idea to close off the other natural tidal openings along the ocean side of the lake, and build a solid road (Wilfred Barrett Drive) to stop the road from being cut off in some sections during the king tides...
I'm in the residential building sector and it's was some bylaw or something passed a few years ago that housing estates must have certain amount of parks/ public open areas for a certain amount of houses per area and some of the newer developments have some insanely cool playgrounds.
I haven't been into a Motor Registration branch for years, we can do almost everything online.
I am Australian and work 20h a week and make over the average wage. I also have 13 weeks a year holidays. I have a great life. Always remind myself how lucky I am.
sssshhhhh!

Guys... our coffee in Australia is the best 😍😍😍
Team Chris Rock, because there is zero tolerance to violence
Agreed
Fair to say , but Chris rock has to accept some of the responsibility , because he picked one woman out of the audience on global TV coverage and put shit on her appearance , if you did that out in the street against some ones wife , you would be naïve not to expect a smack in the mouth from her partner .
Chris needs to take a serious look at his material and how he uses it .
@@mikldude9376 how did he "put shit on her" he compared her to Gi Jane who is a strong,fierce,independent woman. (All attributes she has said she admires & possesses BTW) I'd have been flattered personally. And I don't want to b accused of victim blaming because I don't see her as a victim but if her self-esteem is so low she can't handle comments (which weren't even derogatory) about her shaved head then maybe she should have covered it until she was in a better head space.
The joke was funny and not at all malicious. Will is a hypocrite. He was laughing until he saw his narcissistic, humorless wife pouting. His verbal vomit about defending her is total garbage.
My Ozzie friends: Chris (Chinese), Peter (East German), Cofi (Ghanan), May (Malaysian), Liam (Irish), Deb (English), Rico (South African), David (South African), William (American), Doug (English), Dino (Italian), Esther (Dutch), Florence (French), Yuri (Japanese), Lene (New Zealand), Teejay (Cook Islands), Sue-Ann (PNG), Connie (Scottish), Brett (South African), Mike (Welsh Wales), Ronwyn (West German), Hank (Dutch), Claude (French), John (dec'd, but still a very precious friend, English), Cath (Canadian) ... the list goes on.
The biggest difference is American Coffee is more often than not Drip coffee..... Australia is Espresso... hence the "more care put in to it."
h emain difference between USA coffee and Oz coffee is , Oz coffee is drinkable,].
In 1980, during a severe drought, Caroma (AUS manufacturer) developed the first widely-accepted dual-flush toilet. This gives you the option of using much less water if you do not need it. The current version uses 3 or 6 litres, WAY less than the standard design in USA. Now they are literally everywhere. You can only buy dual-flush toilets for new builds and replacements. The effect of adopting these in AUS is that our sometimes meager public water supply is preserved. Good idea for CA, NM, AR?? We also have no-water urinals in public places like cinemas, malls, airports and commercial buildings. They use enzymes instead of a flush to keep the urinal clean. Another water-saving device. Where water is precious, you need them all.
Australias coffee culture stems from the Turks Italians and Greeks arriving in the 1950s and 60s as Migrants. Espresso started seriously in places like Carlton Victoria, and spread rapidly, Almost Every shopping centre has a place where you can espresso coffee my small local shops have a Chinese takeaway that does espresso plus the local bakery as well and both make an acceptable brew, and no Starbucks in fact there is but one franchise coffee shop in My city of Darwin the State Capital of the NT. and they dont do to well with two stores only, I believe. Starbucks failed dismally with crap coffee and crap service!
Best thing Americans could change about their country is introducing COMPULSORY VOTING 🗳 for elections.
It will make a difference.
Your public grills are only charcoal because USA power standard is 110v so it wouldn't get hot enough to grill on or take all day to cook something. It's why electric kettles aren't very widespread in the USA. Australia uses 240v so it heats up water and grill plates a lot quicker so there are usually at least 2 electric grills in every decent sized park.
That’s Australia and NZ only. Was invented for expats to be able to travel back to England as it took weeks on ships.
Good point
According to that logic then you can't have toast in the US either. You don't really understand electricity very well do you?
Sheerluck Holmes it takes way less heat to cook toast than to boil water quickly. If I cooked my toast for as long as my kettle took to heat the water to 100°c it would be charcoal not toast. I can cook toast under my grill but can't boil water under it. Also 240 volt comes out of the power points but the power output between kettles and toasters is different. Maybe it's you who doesn't understand electricity.
@@sheerluckholmes5468 Ah no it's actually you who doesn't understand electricity, thermal dynamics, mass or basic physics.
We don’t even have to go to a shop front to register the car. It all online. And sushi trains are the best. Most are about $4 a plate.
Another Tristan follower here 👋🏼 He’s very interesting to watch. He doesn’t always get it right but he’s mostly spot on with his information. Great video guys! ✌🏼
American coffee is typically drip filter, Australian coffee at a coffee shop or cafe always starts with an espresso shot.
He is from Texas. Those turning circles I think he called them are called roundabouts. They do keep traffic moving and cause less accidents. It was really funny the first time my husband got onto one years ago. We went around at least 6 times before he knew how to get off at our exit. That was in Victoria who seemed to start them first. Look up hook turns in Melbourne if you want to freak yourself out. They are only in Melbourne.
We have a skate park across the road and about 100 metre’s up the road near the surf club. The Council is about to rebuild it bigger and better. We also have picnic tables and benches inside a roofed space and free electric grills. They are all over Australia, we have to be able to BBQ everywhere. On Australia Day there is a free breakfast cooked in every park for anyone who wants it.
Sushi train is awesome. The plates are colour coded. Each plate is a different cost. Black is usually most expensive
Our DMV's - aka Dept of Transport here in Queensland, are still soulless hellholes ... we just get to sit down with our tickets until called and they have aircon. They do all of our vehicle licensing plus vehicle registrations. On the bright side, I've never had to wait more than and about 25 minutes for the 5 minutes they actually need to sort my issues out before. Now we can now do our car and licence renewals online and only have to go in for a new photo for our licences every 10 years so that makes it better - cause we rarely have to go into them now!
Also - our coffee is mainly Italian style espresso now. A lot of people still drink shit instant coffee and home or at work but plenty of us have fancy machines, moka pots etc now as well. I lashed out and got a fancy Delonghi all in one for my Flat Whites at home ;)
We also do party harder - the legal drinking age is 18 ;)
The breathaliser bus is called the Booze Bus by Aussies.
I took my kids to a sushi train (Australia) 2 weeks ago. Everything you choose is capped at $3.90 per plate. My kids and I ate until we were full with drinks and the total cost was $40. They're an amazing fun place to take the kids.
Damn you don’t eat a lot then I’ve done 100$aud with my sister easily hahaha
@@davidlu7245 There were people around us with tens of plates stacked up, I don't know how people can scoff that much lol there's only so much raw seafood I can consume in one sitting 😆
Just watched this video as it came up in the UA-cam feeds. I watched Tristan's videos back when he was active and I'm fairly certain he said he's from Cedar Park in Texas.
It's not that Australians party more, we just don't work ourselves to death first... :)
as I understand it, US coffee market use filtered coffee. Australian coffee is espresso based(same as Italy). expresso coffee generally is stronger without burning it, which improves the taste when mixed with milk. because of this, coffee options vary quiet a lot for plain milk based coffee, but not a star bucks style that is laced full of sugar. Australians aren't too keen on large sized coffee either. often because the barrister could stuff up the coffee strength trying to make it like a standard size. there are a few coffee chains in aus, but only succeeded because they changed their coffee to compete with the locals, and slowly introduced it. unlike Starbucks who initially went ballistic with hundreds of stores only to close most of them 10 years later
interesting fact, after Italy, Australia is the biggest purchaser of barrister style expresso machines
Yeah, there hasn't been a Starbucks in like 5/8 of the jurisdictions here since 2007.
The grill BBQ is like a huge teppanyaki cook top traffic circles are round-abouts
Tristan (the dude speaking) did a whole bunch of really spot-on videos while he was in Australia. $0.02
FUN FACT: the word SLANG is its self a slang word. It is slang for SHORT LANGUAGE.
Our "DMV" has a different name is each state, NSW changes theirs every 5-10 years, it's currently called Roads & Maritime Service (RMS) you can also register your boat, renew your boat licence, renew your gun licence, and in rural NSW those outlets also service as the general go to for most State government branches, eg Births Deaths Marriages etc, Victoria is called Vicroads, In Queensland,, Tasmania and WA is called Dept. of Transport or something similar. I don't know what SA calls theirs.
There are lots of parks, lakes, ponds in the cities AND the country towns. In the towns parks often have playgrounds, skate parks, bike trails, swimming pools, barbeques, vegetation and water features. The country town councils generally like to keep the families happy and occupied.
We call them public bbq s

Greetings from the Gold Coast, Straya. With regard to your query as to the sound quality, Phezz, I am happy to say that it was really mickey mouse (=grouse = excellent) in the above video. However, it might be more the case that my trouble-and-strife bought me some earphones that, as an old horse-and-cart (=fart), I am totally unfamiliar with. At only 68, she is a much younger person than I and much more tech savvy: she simply belted them into my Port Melbourne piers and pressed play. I, on the other hand, am a techno-cretin and still haven't got my mutton head around the electric typewriter. My missus' motive for the earphones wasn't all noble - she was crook on me playing your videos out loud to the extent that she couldn't hear Judge Judy. So that's the way the tess tickles and I'll have to assign the sound improvement half to your fiddling and half to the earphones, which are still jammed in my lug 'oles. Be well fellas.
Aussie slang names for police vehicles, Booze Bus - the bus in the video. Candy Car or Disco Tin - a police car with highly visible police decals. Disco Whistle - the siren on a police car. Divvy Van or Dog Box or Paddy Wagon - a general duties caged truck for putting people in when they are arrested. Double Bubble - police car. Plain Wrapper - unmarked police car. Flash for Cash - speed camera set up in a police vehicle parked on the side of the road. Hairdryer - handheld speed camera. Evil Knievel - motorcycle police. Evil Knievel playing laser tag - motorcycle police with speed camera. Mermaids (c**ts with scales) - department of transport cars. Barbecue Hot - someone has been pulled over ahead.
You say Australia 🇦🇺 funny!
Young Christian is American, he travels the world doing culture blogs. This is one of many blogs he did when he traveled through our States. He’s a good kid and is quite fare in his opinions. Electric grills are public BBQ’s where you put coins in to operate. We are one of the biggest consumers of coffee in the world. Round snouts are very popular and make sure you give way to your right. We party way harder than you guys!
Our Sushi is way better than a lot of other countries, not from the Mother Sushi country though. Sushi trains are so popular here and really really cheap. Chicken Katsu is the best let alone Bento Boxes 🍱.
Our RMS’s are very good, you can do licence,rego,boat licence and rego etc. they do your Medicare stuff as well.
Our slang is real and not to be trifled with.
Number 3 in Australia they're called Round-A-Bouts. And the rules are really simple give way to your right or whoever is already in the round-a-bout (including those on your left). If someone on your left gets to the round-a-bout before you, they win, if you arrive together, you win.
Water is too scare here in Australia to waste it with anything
Also Chicken salt should be another reason
Tristan did a whole series of Australian content. Pre Covid. It had to finish because of Covid.
He didn’t do a bad job at all!
Actually, four weeks of annual leave/vacation time. Paid at 38 hours per week (because we have a 38 hour work week) for wage earners or at full salary for salaried employees.
Additionally, a 17.5% 'leave loading' is added to those payments.. Originally it was introduced to compensate wage earners for missing out on the overtime money they would have earned had they not been on holiday. Later salaried employees somehow got it too.
7 or 8 dollars a plate for sushi. Prices start at $2.50
There's a sushi restaurant chain here in Brisbane (not sure about elsewhere but probably), called 'Sushi Station' which looks identical to the one in Tristan's photo. The plates/bowls are colour-coded to indicate the price of the serving. If you're a glutton like me, sushi is not cheap here also; those plates soon start piling up!!
Do you mean sushi train?
They have been going up in prices lately. Theres a new franchise called sushi hub, which does more variety and is a bit cheaper than sushi train.
Hate to tell you but Americas coffee sucks, even the best coffee in America doesn’t stand up to Australia’s coffee. It’s not just the coffee making, the main part is a lot more effort is put into the roasting and less emphasis is put on sugar.
The parties here are usually drinks and eats and music that doesn't drown out conversation, and maybe some pool time.
The younger kidults, newly unshackled from parental restrictions, have raves. I think these are common internationally, but the other parties are normal for weekends, long weekends, public holiday long breaks, and the usual family celebrations with guests....
for normal people desiring to have fun......
and not desiring to..... ' Break Free!"
You SHOULD try the coffee. There is a huge cafe culture here in most of our major cities. And yep... our beer is better too :)
Starbucks had to downsize significantly in Australia because they couldn’t make coffee good enough for Australians.
I guess I tried a Starbucks too late - I'd already got used to proper coffee. It makes me feel nauseous- and on one occasion I did actually throw up. I've given it a go in a couple of different countries - always the same effect. Am in UK now and where I live, at least, Starbucks is mostly where tourists go.(Re the vomit-factor...why does a famous American sandwich-shop chain always smell vomity: you smell it before you see it!!)
Besides, why would you go to some mega-corporate, bland, foreign-tasting franchise when you can go into a cosy, local Italian/Greek/Turkish cafe where the staff eventually become your mates, and they play good music?
@@cireenasimcox1081 Of the Starbucks stores left here in Australia, all are in tourist locations too. Most are located in airports, or close to such areas that are tourist attraction locations. If you go to Starbucks here, we know you're 100% a tourist.
In Australia We don't Label People based on their Decent unlike America like African American for example. We're all Just Aussies, no matter where you're from or family background. We're also happy to Adopt people as Honorary Aussies, usually based the way you treat others. The majority of Aussies are Warm, Friendly People who will say "Hello!" or even stop to talk with anyone. If We Hear or See someone being Offensive We'll Speak Up. I remember a few years ago an Openly Racist Politician was running for office. A News Crew turned up at His home and interviewed Him for National TV. Basically They Gave Him Enough Rope And He Hung Himself, He lost that Election.
we can also register a car , trailer, Motorbike etc at the post office as long as it has not out of date
the complimentary sunscreen is generally supplied by the "Skin Cancer Council" for some reason those people really take their skin cancer prevention extra seriously.
Queensland department of transport.
Can do driving tests, car registration, licence ect.
You can also renew online, so don't have to go into the department.
Most of the BBQ areas are gas supplied by councils.
4 paid weeks of leave, plus public holidays and likely long service leave for 10 or 15 years at the same business (3 months paid leave).
I've checked out many of his videos he does a great job. Yeah he is in Mexico last I saw. Nice guy.
Yes it’s probably slang to everyone else but I feel
Like is it’s our own language !! If I think about it
We all

TC - Australians party harder than Americans? Have you never been to a college party?
Aussies- hold my beer, we will give you schoolies! ua-cam.com/video/NmAlmT-TypU/v-deo.html
Hes too peppy , California..🤣🤣🤣🤣
@11:58 Australia has universities too, and they also party, so do the no-university 18-25 year olds.
You don’t know what good coffee is. Even the local gas station has good coffees.
I am very lucky with what I make, I’m Australian and I work in outside school hours care for $35 an hour, and in a kindergarten for $26 an hour or if I do fill in shifts it’s $31 an hour. So I can work a 20 hour week and earn as much as my fiancé who works full time (38 hours). I’m on maternity leave now, my kindergarten is paying me 34 weeks of leave, then Centrelink is going to pay me an additional 18 weeks at national minimum wage ($750 a week) and whilst I’m on these leaves I am also accusing more annual leave so I get an additional 4 or so weeks, so I’m going to be able to be paid 54 weeks or so leave whilst I stay home with my baby which is amazing!
They are called roundabouts not traffic circles.
Had sushi for lunch today. Dragon Sushi with seafood.
Jealous.
Water melons can be all year round cause we don’t have winter in so much of Aus
So fruits etc are year round
How about the metric system.
I worked in the USA, yes, we Aussies definitely party harder
Rock!

Australia has too many bushfires so they supply electric grills so people can barbecue. They are a flat stainless steel cooking surface. They don't charge because why would they? Tax money is supposed to benefit the citizens. Get over it, the coffee really is better in Australia. Not fancy. Excellent flavour.
We live in the skin cancer capital of the world. Queensland specifically which is where Tristan is in the video. We place A LOT of emphasis on wearing sunscreen and in some cases you can claim sunscreen back on your tax refund if it’s required for you to wear it at work. Also, I don’t think we party harder then Americans because you guys seem to have way more events/ activities going on.
Australians don't need an event or activity to party hard unless you want to count the weekend as an event or activity. 😂
American coffee is like Pig Swill........Melbourne is the Coffee Capital of the World.
TRISTAN KUHN is from TEXAS...
I miss fluffy Miles. But congrats on the health journey.
How good is the Sushi Train.......$3 - $5 a plate...............................
Most Australians hate Starbuck's, plus he's not talking about fancy coffees, he's talking about black or latte coffees.
Coin operated? I don't think I've ever seen something like that. Most of them you just press a button, no coins necessary.
sari c - you’re probably right.I’ve only seen them at a distance....
tristan and isaac butterfield had a funny feud .
React to Tristan’s slang video, it’s good.
In Australia they are electric
They are a Gas BBQ set up
Our DMV’s are good
He is from Austin Texas
They are barbecues.
Problem is, you Sepos won't actually CHANGE?
I'm from Australia 😄
The sunscreen thing isn't a law or anything every Australian just has sunscreen and sharing is caring
He is from Texas
After travelling in the US and Canada, I have to agree that your coffee sucks. Melbourne has the best coffee.
He looks a bit like Brett Lee.
it is watermelon season all year round 😎
Aussie coffee shops are 99% independently family owned and run, and are not part of a huge franchise chain. Also every city has many free electric bbqs and people actually do clean up after themselves. 👍🤗
I think its also a lot to do with what type of bean we use and where it is grown.
@@megancooper859 Water is much more precious in Australia so we don't pour as much in our coffee, like we don't pour as much in our beer either.
And Starbucks couldn't survive in .au.
@@KaiHenningsenactually mate, starbucks failed, not couldn't survive, FAILED. We are the coffee snobs of the world.
@@matthewmcintosh4925 And the difference is what, exactly? Because to me, these two descriptions sound exactly the same.
The reason why Australians do coffee so well is because the Italians bought their coffee culture and taught us well.
Yes the Italians make great coffee, but so do the Greeks, Turks and Lebanese
Yes yhey did our multi cultural society is great
Star bucks failed here in Australia cause there coffee was so shit, most small shops here make great ☕
An American friend visited Australia and my mother made her a coffee. She took a sip and said, "Mmmm, wow! Great coffee! I love it! So rich and full of flavour! Do you roast and grind your own beans?" My mother showed her the coffee. It was a jar of Moccona. 😂 If she's raving about our freeze-dried coffee, just goes to show that the coffee in the US is shit. The next day, my mother took her to a real Australian coffee shop. It blew her mind. She's from Ohio and now hates the American coffee.
Australia has a rich café culture thanks to Italian and Greek immigrants. Aussies prefer drinking their coffee at the smaller family owned cafés rather than the big international café chains. This is why Starbucks was a dismal failure in Australia.
The truth
Also why Spag Bog and Souvlakis are so popular.
@@MatthewHarrold Because souvlakis after a night out are fkn gold!
They are never as amazing when just hungry and sober
And there is no giant souvlakis chain yet...
When the Americans get this, expect the new Souvlakis Bell to lower all of our standards😞
Starbucks coffee is gross. Another reason it failed in Oz.
@@peaceful3250 I’m an Aussie and I love Star Bucks coffee.
I’d be interested to know if America has long service leave, 10 years working for the same company 3 months full pay time off or 6 months off half pay
LSL was initially introduced in Australia in the 1860's to allow public servants to sail home to England and be able to return back to their job afterwards. It became enshrined in legislation for all employees between 1950 and 1975.
We can probably thank unions for that.
And employers can too considering the cost benefit of retaining workers who may up and leave for greener pastures
Some public servants in India were offered this before as well but it is unlikely to be widespread there
It is nice to be rewarded for continuous service to an employer!
Long service was brought in to Australia during a boom time when people would jump job to job following better salary. It was common for someone to go to lunch and start working for someone up the road paying better money. Long service was brought in to encourage people to stay in their jobs with one employer.. Oh how times have changed.
You must be kidding ... right!! 😂😂😂
They don't even have mandatory paid sick or annual leave. It's at the employer's discretion.
I’ve been to America six times and have never had a nice coffee. Australia certainly knows how to do coffee.
Okay so I just went to watch his other video: 10 things Australia could learn from America, and he mentions in that video that he's from Texas, and as an Aussie I agree with him 100% we can all learn from each other.
technically we have 4 weeks leave by law and 15 days of public holidays - so we have 7 weeks of holidays in a year (if you take all your leave - and why wouldnt you?)
Sushi trains here are really cheap.
I remember many years ago (like 20 plus) the first electric BBQs in parks did have a small charge, like 20c to $1 coin. But councils found it was more cost effective to give free power than keep repairing broken into coin boxes, where several hundred dollars damage would be done to steal five bucks in change.
