1. No tipping culture. 2. Metric system. 3. Toilet that don’t blocks up easily like American toilet (but gets more skid marks). 4. Almost indestructible Polymer money that can be ‘cleaned’ and easily distinguishable by colour. 5. Sensible gun laws. 6.

Not as dependent on private uber-rich philanthropists whose interests may not always align with national interests. Sorry for getting a bit political but these points makes Australia a great place.
Interesting to hear your feedback. Definitely get out there and explore (when you can, safely 😀) to experience other cultures and ways of life! It'll definitely broaden your perspective. And thanks for watching!
Thank you for putting out contents, love your channel. That is why a plunger is always present next to an American toilet but everywhere else (Eu, Aus, Asia) is a toilet brush. And yep, we had to use the plunger when in Boston. Also credit to Americans and their founding fathers who came up with the first democratic government of the modern age.
My favourite thing about Australia: Cronulla; No, Forster/Tunncurry; No, Jervis Bay; No Perth; No, the entire west coast (all 3600klms of it!); No, the desert interior; No, the entire East coast; No, the Sutherland Shire and surrounding areas; No, the Royal National Park; No, the small towns that dot our countries road system; Then there are ALL the beaches. You can visit a new beach everyday in Australia and not see them all in 20 years !!! I could go on but I think you get the picture...
I second that. I agree on 14 items on your list. Jenny Jenny Jenny ( shakes head) reality tv really lol. Since I only found you guys yesterday can I ask what work did you do while you were down under and what part of the states are you from. Now back to your other videos. Stay safe.
You two are made for Australia - relaxed, laid back, friendly. It's so nice to see a couple who treat each other with respect, really an example for lots of the rest of us.
As a train driver I am pleased that you enjoy our public transport and can compare it highly. It is delayed but that it is government not repairing things etc. You guys are so well spoken, calm and would fit in well here.
Born overseas but have been in Australia since I was 4 years old. I spend most of my time dreaming of Europe or other overseas destinations, then, finally, my wife and son and I will go overseas, have a great time, but I get home SO grateful for living here. It is clean, bright, there is space(!), and we genuinely work to live, not the other way around. I really do love being an Aussie. Although, I am from Brissie, and I must say, it would great to have a 10 degree reduction in temperature! Other than that, it's bonza! There is another slang word for you! I think nothing pleases us more than seeing people from overseas love our country, so thank you so much for these videos. Have a safe trip back, relax, get a cuppa, have a couple of choccy bikies, some smashed avo on toast, and start planning your trip back! See ya!
Thank you so much for the kind words and for watching our videos! Made us smile to know that you've enjoyed them and love hearing your story. Bonza is a new one for us but fun to say 😊 stay safe!!
You know Sydney and more so Melbourne, Canberra and Tasmania have a temperate, cooler climate with winters more like Europe right? Go visit Canberra or Hobart in July and you’ll know how cold Australia can get 🤓👍
Cheers mates! You're the type of people us Aussies love. We don't care where you come from or what you look like, but as long as you treat people the same way and join in with all the great things there are to do Down Under, then we'll always call you a friend and you're welcome to return anytime. I really hope you get the opportunity to cone back one day, as it sadly sounds like there were quite a few other things you wanted to do. If not, rest assured there'll always be a little part of Australia in you.
Being Australian, I get a kick out of seeing how Americans react when they first visit these shores. Thanks for sharing your video. So much has happened since you were here. I hope you are both safe and healthy. Take care, and come back to Oz soon.
Just watched this video. Pity you didn't get the opportunity to visit Melbourne for any period of time. We have by far the best food and also entertainment venues in the country. Hopefully you will get the opportunity to come back and enjoy Melbourne and explore.
I’ve lived in Sydney all my life, so for me it is Sydney Harbour. There are so many little sandy beaches and plenty of walks around the foreshore, all accessible with a combination of train, bus, and ferry. Pack a lovely lunch and it’s a wonderful way to spend a sunny day. Sometimes the simple things in life are what can make us the happiest!
I think from Australians thanks for the kind words about our country we respect everybody we don’t stress because is nothing you can do about it so you don’t stress so just live life have fun
Oh the pay pass is a godsend. I Never carry cash or change its just so much easier to have a phone case with some card slots and tap everything. So quick and easy! I didn't realize America wasn't on board with this feature your country really should adopt it.
We're very slow getting there. Not every bank offers a card with contactless payment, and not all merchants accept it either. Slowly but surely we'll get there too! (hopefully)
Just picked up on you guys. You're a credit to your families. So laid back without having to yell (like some others do). I hope you come back some day at least to have a good coffee. Cheers.
You’re going to have to come back and do the west coast. You’re missing out on some of the best stuff including a trip to Rotto “Rottnest Island” and the Quokkas, Margaret River region, and the beaches are better!
You are so correct blade runner! I am now in the west too and I offer these guys use of our guest house in perth. Let me know guys if you would like location details and photos to help you plan.
Loved this video . You are such a nice couple. Great ambassadors for the US. I lived in Alaska for 15 years and loved it. The people were wonderful and so was the country. I wish I could spend time in both places equally.
Thank you for the kind words and for watching! Alaska is on our list we'd love to go, it seems like a really beautiful place. Hope you are able to get back someday soon! 😊
Wow, I was living in Waterloo and worked in Wooloomooloo (the Navy base) last year, and I've only just discovered your channel. Love your non bias (patriotic) opinions about us crazy cats here in Oz. I live in locked down Melbourne now.
Born Australian, lived in Melbourne my life, am in last year of highschool. Australia’s been blessed to have the pair of you, and you’ve changed my perceptions of the stereotypical American. Hopefully you come back some time, whether to live or for holiday, and the other people who come here are just as sweet and lovely as you two. Edit: As I’m watching, I agree with all your points. Especially 12, one of Australia’s main cultural values is multiculturalism and egalitarianism. We pride ourselves on having many cultures here and being able to share them. Most of the younger generations are mixed babies like myself, and most people speak more than just English. I myself speak Greek, French and Korean as well, due to my family, and at school I learned Mandarin for 8 years. Man, you guys are just so kind, I really hope you come Melbourne or go back to Sydney sometime, we all apreciate the both of you
Thank you for taking the time to watch our video and write this kind comment, that means so much! Glad we could break the "typical American" stereotype too, that's a compliment. We definitely plan on coming back one day soon when it's safe to do so. Well done with all of those languages, that is so impressive and something to be really proud of. 😊
Two Traveling Kings woah I can’t believe you saw my comment!! Yeah, I’ve been binge watching all of your videos, you two are such a sweet pair to watch! Thank you for the compliments as well, damn! I hope you guys are enjoying your time being back at home for now ^~^
We have an American family, spread from Arizona to California to Washington state, they love Australia, especially northern Queensland, but we love Arizona
Nice vid! guys. We enjoyed your nice words/observations about/on our fine country. We have only just come across your channel but we look forward to watching more of your content. ;)
We've always lived here in Sydney but one of our daughters has lived in San Franscisco for a year and is now in New York for an indefinite time and loves living in America.
You guys are so cool. I hope you come back. There is so much more to discover. My favourite place would be the South Coast of NSW, from the northern suburbs of Wollongong just an hour south of Sydney all the way down to Eden, close to the Victorian border. Absolutely superb. Thanks for the nice words about our beautiful country. 😎
I feel really sad for you both that you had to leave under such circumstances. Now a year later- what a crazy time it has been!!! It looks like travel options will begin to open up soon. I hope you get to come back & tick off a few more things on your list. 😁
thanks dudes! for coming to Oz and sharing our culture and respecting it! also I think your a great couple and really suit each other! one more thing did U eat any kangaroo? it's great in a stir fry!
Of course, the weather varies a lot from city to city. In Melbourne, we get more cloudy days, but the same amount of rain as Sydney. And in Melbourne, you always have to check the forecast before you leave home each day.
I recommend anyone in Sydney around late winter/early spring to visit Ku-Ring-Gai National Park for a bush walk and you will be blown away by the wild flowers saturating the landscape with colour and form.
I love travelling and have been to over 30 countries and every time I land home I am just so grateful. Our free healthcare, minimum wage, great beaches, friendly people and mateship, work life balance, so much to love!
Glad you enjoyed yourselves so much . Perhaps if you do make it back over here you should try to make it to Perth here on the West coast . I'm sure you will NOT be disappointed. Good luck and God bless .
Hey guys! Thank you Logan for saying Melbin (not Melbourne). You are now an Aussie! Hahahaha. I love that you love it here. When you come back please don’t forget to come to Qld. We have some amazing beaches all the way up the coast, some fantastic theme parks, Australia Zoo, Far North Qld is friggin awesome. You’ll love it! Had either of you heard of cricket beforehand? I’m assuming you’d been to England so I guess so. Lol. Can’t wait for you guys to come back and enjoy the rest of Oz!
Queensland was on our list for this year but sadly we never made it. We had been for a few days about 5 years ago and really enjoyed it but definitely need to come back. We had heard of cricket and knew of it but had no idea how it was played and what the rules are. It was so fun learning it and getting to a game at SCG! 😊
its so nice to hear that Australia has been so nice to you. I love my country and I agree with your list but I would put authentic Asian cuisine as the best, I lived in Wentworthville but now live in rural NSW, as a family we miss going to any Indian restaurant and just having the most divine food, or our neighbours cooking us Dahl cause we looked tired and stressed. you don't know what you have had until its gone, we also had the best Chinese restaurant in Pendle Hill, Triple 8 it was called and was so cheap and the food was amazing, Don't know if they are still going but hope if they are not that the Lee family is all safe, happy and healthy xxx from Australia
The USA's gain is our loss. You two are like a little ray of love and sunshine and have unquestionably added a small amount of something to our country. Along with others, I would like to nominate you, Logan and Jenny, as honourable honourary Australians. We shall toast you with Vegemite on toast and Milo! SALUT!!
I was born in 1962 at Cronulla. Typical evening meal was meat & 3 veg with Mom putting on the vegetables to boil at 3:00 for dinner at 6:00. Thank goodness for immigration. I now live in regional NSW & have been known to drive 4 hours to Marrackville for authentic pork roll (banh mi). What a lovely couple, please come back soon.
john rabey I remember mum boiling the veggies. I’m surprised if they had any nutritional value after the water was drained away. Nowadays I only stir-fry my veggies, my wok is used just about everyday!
@@austfox2170 I'm 3rd gen British, and my memories of dinners were like yours. Then I spent 6 years living in China until a year ago, and fell in love with the authentic Chinese cuisines. No more boiled veggies. Stir-fried is the best!
We were meant to do a big Western Australia road trip after working! However, Covid happened so we're back home. We'll be back someday! And yes we've had a meat pie from a bakery! :)
Guys, Love your laid back attitude towards us. You obviously enjoyed your time here. Please come back after the crisis is over. But please! Check out Queensland, WA, NT and Tassie. Yep I'm Aussie. Abbreviate everything except my home state. Queensland! If I put Qld. That is short for: Quiet Little Drink! I lived in FNQ for over 40 years, (Far North Queensland.) I would take friends out for a sail on our boat, have a Qld with Tlc's. (Tasty little critters.) Once again a shot followed by a beer on a 34 degree C. day. Mexicans, ie. those living south of the Queensland border, basically spoke a sort of different language.
@@twotravelingkings Lol you can spend a lifetime here and not see it all. Australia is a dangerous place to spend time in - you will suffer yo-yo syndrome forever after - and it costs you a fortune over your lifetime. Once you leave Straya - you are initially happy to be back home - seeing family etc - then you start comparing and saying "Oh I really miss this and I am over this freezing weather, So it will build until you must return. Then homesickness - missing family milestones starts to drag you back and you'll go but you have been infected by Straya and you will always keep returning - one day for good - usually because you want your children to grow up here - safe and happy with fantastic accents lol, Good Luck - if you come back sooner than later it'll be less painful. I've seen it happen countless times - the men wont to stay in Oz and the ladies yo-yo.
If your in New York and want a good coffee, there is a small place under the Rockefeller Center. We were visiting NY and I found this coffee shop right next to the ladies bathroom . Weird location but really good coffee.
Hey guys hope you are well, I have just started watching your videos and have subscribed! If ever you come back to Australia you would be very welcome. But next time come to Adelaide we have better beaches and wine (some of the best in the world) we also have a great Asian community with great food choices aaand coffee! but Sydney is a great city though I love it! In 2018 we were in New York for a month (the people were equally friendly and helpful) and loved it, we plan to go back but it was also great to come back to Australia.
Thank you for watching, so glad you're enjoying our videos! We had a trip planned and were so excited to visit Hunter Valley but we didn't expect COVID to happen. It's absolutely on the list for our next trip to Australia 😊
i used to live in marrickville its near newtown!!!!!! and the trains here you showed us a tangara they have been around since the early 90s before that we had the red rattlers!!!!!!!
thanks for saying such nice things about Australia , i have some American friends who have imirgrated here , they seem happy . Nice people like you are welcome here so move on over . the other thing is when you work for the same company for 10 yrs you get 10 weeks paid holiday
real nice list and OMG you mentioned COFFEE!!! so I now appoint you a honorary Aussie :) we do have good coffee lol Starbucks...... EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!! we must have stirm words though about Australian TV it is sooo bad!
You should see if you can find the Farmer Wants A Wife. They are bringing it back as a show in a couple of weeks, but it was on for a number of years. Unlike MAFS, FWaW has had 8 or 9 marriages and about 20 children... and the marriages have lasted, some for over 10 years at this point. The premise is they select 4 or 5 farmers from remote properties (farms) and select 15-20 girls for each farmer, who then whittles them down to just two or three that they then take back to the farm to see if they would fit in.... it’s not as confrontational as MAFS, but has a much better track record and the farmers are very real people.
Haven't seen that one but have heard of it. Will have to try to get it via streaming in the US. Sounds a bit more like the Bachelor but with a better success rate. 😊 Thanks for the recommendation!
Two Traveling Kings Just thought you should know... Farmer Wants A Wife will be starting this coming Sunday evening. Hope you can find a way to watch it from there. BTW.... Aussie MAFS is featuring on Celebrity Gogglebox USA. Aussie chef Curtis Stone’s American wife can’t believe it is a real show that is popular here. See if you can find those episodes. You should appreciate the American celebrity perspective... the US MAFS doesn’t have the dinner parties that the Aussie version has.
Have you heard of "Long service leave" after 10 years of work, you get 3 months off, fully paid. Also we get what's called "leave loading" 17 1/2% extra pay when we go on holiday.
As an Australian, after travelling to the US I appreciate not having to tip and just in general only having to pay the listed price, not price plus tax or even ++ that I came across sometimes or having to add the 20% gratuity. The price is the price!
I’m happy you two Enjoyed our country... I’m a little north of Brisbane... back of the Sunshine Coast.. A place called the glasshouse Mountains. Look it up on google I think you’ll appreciate it more than Sydney, but then again I’m not a city person I don’t like any city. Anyway Australia would be happy to have a couple as you two are citizens here. Take care
If you do come back you have to go to a suburb in Sydney called Strathfield it has the best Korean BBQ and Restaurants outside of Seoul. There is probably at least 20 to 30 places to eat there. So amazing. I’m glad you had a great time and come back as soon as COVID-19 is gone. 💙💙💙💜💜
Two Traveling Kings you’re so welcome I hope you’re Safe and Well and it would be great if you do decide to come back. More great videos to be had by one and all. Have a great day
We've been away from Australia for the last year and we do miss all of the different food options. I was surprised that public transport made it onto your list - Australians complain about public transport a lot. 😅
Glad you missed out on meeting the infamous Australian drop bears in your travels :). Always remember to smear Vegemite on yourself when walking in the bush ;)
i was abroad in United states i really missed the food and coffee in Australia was so hard to find good dumplings in the united states but i do agree i miss the mexican food from california
Totally agree, being back in the US, we're missing those delicious flat whites and authentic Asian food that Australia offers. We've been enjoying great Mexican food again and making our own dumplings to get our fix! Hope you enjoyed your time abroad in the US, thanks for watching! 😊
lol quokka and whale shark are best seen in western Australia. since you stayed in the east you could have seen the koala, but probly not the cassowary because it lives in rainforest
@@twotravelingkings I don't know how you americans drink that percolated coffee. Then everyone seems to complain about it (ok i'm going by tv shows). Flat Whites rule over cappuccinos as there is less froth in the cup so more coffee. You don't like Starbucks, well you are obviously 2 intelligent Americans as i can't understand how they stay in business. I think we are more fussy about our coffee whereas americans will drink anything they are told is coffee LOL
We were told Australia had a strong coffee culture and we were so happy to partake. Maybe because we're American, we can still enjoy a filtered coffee but flat whites are Jenny's new favorites. We had as much delicious coffee as we could while we were in Australia. ☕😍
Two Traveling Kings Maybe I’m a strange Aussie but I enjoyed most of the coffee in the states. Been through about 35 states so far and I can’t remember having coffee that I could call BAD - just different 👍

And to think you guys have only been in around Sydney and Melbourne.... Only just scratched the surface of Australia ;)
We had a great Western Australia road trip planned before the craziness! Looking forward to coming back when possible :)
Nice to see a different perspective of Sydney from yourselves & be reminded of what we take for granted. Australia would welcome you to be citizens.
Thanks!

I myself speak Greek, French and Korean as well, due to my family, and at school I learned Mandarin for 8 years. Man, you guys are just so kind, I really hope you come Melbourne or go back to Sydney sometime, we all apreciate the both of you
Thank you for taking the time to watch our video and write this kind comment, that means so much! Glad we could break the "typical American" stereotype too, that's a compliment. We definitely plan on coming back one day soon when it's safe to do so. Well done with all of those languages, that is so impressive and something to be really proud of. 😊
Two Traveling Kings woah I can’t believe you saw my comment!! Yeah, I’ve been binge watching all of your videos, you two are such a sweet pair to watch! Thank you for the compliments as well, damn! I hope you guys are enjoying your time being back at home for now ^~^
You ever come back try coming west, Perth is truly beautiful and the put back is amazing
We were meant to visit Perth this year! Definitely want to get there one day 😊
Yes. See up North in WA. It is different from Sydney.
We have an American family, spread from Arizona to California to Washington state, they love Australia, especially northern Queensland, but we love Arizona
Very cool!
Nice vid! guys. We enjoyed your nice words/observations about/on our fine country. We have only just come across your channel but we look forward to watching more of your content. ;)
Thanks so much, that's great to hear. So glad you're enjoying our content! ☺️
We've always lived here in Sydney but one of our daughters has lived in San Franscisco for a year and is now in New York for an indefinite time and loves living in America.
That's great to hear! Thanks for watching 😊
You guys are so cool. I hope you come back. There is so much more to discover. My favourite place would be the South Coast of NSW, from the northern suburbs of Wollongong just an hour south of Sydney all the way down to Eden, close to the Victorian border. Absolutely superb. Thanks for the nice words about our beautiful country. 😎
Thanks for the kind words! We're excited to come back when possible 😊
I feel really sad for you both that you had to leave under such circumstances. Now a year later- what a crazy time it has been!!! It looks like travel options will begin to open up soon. I hope you get to come back & tick off a few more things on your list. 😁
thanks dudes! for coming to Oz and sharing our culture and respecting it! also I think your a great couple and really suit each other! one more thing did U eat any kangaroo? it's great in a stir fry!
Never tried it!
Of course, the weather varies a lot from city to city. In Melbourne, we get more cloudy days, but the same amount of rain as Sydney. And in Melbourne, you always have to check the forecast before you leave home each day.
We heard that Melbourne was like that! Thanks for watching! 😊
That's why next time you add Adelaide to your list. Renowned for its food and wine amongst other great things.
Mate, you said Melbourne right! I only found your videos tonight and I'm eating them up.
It's a tough one 😊 thanks for the kind words! Glad you're enjoying the videos!
I love your calm and mood
Thanks for the kind words 😊 and thanks for watching!
I recommend anyone in Sydney around late winter/early spring to visit Ku-Ring-Gai National Park for a bush walk and you will be blown away by the wild flowers saturating the landscape with colour and form.
Thanks for the recommendation! Sounds fantastic :)
I love travelling and have been to over 30 countries and every time I land home I am just so grateful. Our free healthcare, minimum wage, great beaches, friendly people and mateship, work life balance, so much to love!
Australia was great!
Super cool. Hope you guys can come back to visit some time soon.
We hope so too! Thanks for watching 😊
Come back soon. You guys are awesome💞
Thanks for the kind words 😊
Glad you enjoyed yourselves so much . Perhaps if you do make it back over here you should try to make it to Perth here on the West coast . I'm sure you will NOT be disappointed. Good luck and God bless .
Definitely on our next trip!
Hey guys! Thank you Logan for saying Melbin (not Melbourne). You are now an Aussie! Hahahaha. I love that you love it here. When you come back please don’t forget to come to Qld. We have some amazing beaches all the way up the coast, some fantastic theme parks, Australia Zoo, Far North Qld is friggin awesome. You’ll love it! Had either of you heard of cricket beforehand? I’m assuming you’d been to England so I guess so. Lol. Can’t wait for you guys to come back and enjoy the rest of Oz!
Queensland was on our list for this year but sadly we never made it. We had been for a few days about 5 years ago and really enjoyed it but definitely need to come back. We had heard of cricket and knew of it but had no idea how it was played and what the rules are. It was so fun learning it and getting to a game at SCG! 😊
its so nice to hear that Australia has been so nice to you. I love my country and I agree with your list but I would put authentic Asian cuisine as the best, I lived in Wentworthville but now live in rural NSW, as a family we miss going to any Indian restaurant and just having the most divine food, or our neighbours cooking us Dahl cause we looked tired and stressed. you don't know what you have had until its gone, we also had the best Chinese restaurant in Pendle Hill, Triple 8 it was called and was so cheap and the food was amazing, Don't know if they are still going but hope if they are not that the Lee family is all safe, happy and healthy xxx from Australia
You're so right, the best food! 😊
The USA's gain is our loss. You two are like a little ray of love and sunshine and have unquestionably added a small amount of something to our country. Along with others, I would like to nominate you, Logan and Jenny, as honourable honourary Australians. We shall toast you with Vegemite on toast and Milo!
SALUT!!
Haha we'll take it 😊 thanks so much for the kind words
Greetings from Marrickville. I wasn't expecting that in the top 15.
We had a great time living there 😊
You should come to New Zealand it’s similar but also very different. Coffee is amazing and no snakes!
We had a trip planned in May that unfortunately got cancelled. Would love to get there one day, we've heard great things. 😊
I was born in 1962 at Cronulla. Typical evening meal was meat & 3 veg with Mom putting on the vegetables to boil at 3:00 for dinner at 6:00. Thank goodness for immigration. I now live in regional NSW & have been known to drive 4 hours to Marrackville for authentic pork roll (banh mi). What a lovely couple, please come back soon.
We loved the pork roll! Large Vietnamese influence in Marrickville. Thanks for watching, we'll be back 😊
john rabey I remember mum boiling the veggies. I’m surprised if they had any nutritional value after the water was drained away. Nowadays I only stir-fry my veggies, my wok is used just about everyday!
@@austfox2170 I'm 3rd gen British, and my memories of dinners were like yours. Then I spent 6 years living in China until a year ago, and fell in love with the authentic Chinese cuisines. No more boiled veggies. Stir-fried is the best!
Yep, got to love those Opal cards!
Yup! We had a fairly easy time without a car. 😊
I’ve been all over the world. But coming back to Oz was amazing.
It's a great place, thanks for watching! ☺️
I grew up in Marrickville place, so diverse.
Loved Marrickville 😊
Coogee is pronounced like “could” - “could-gee” 😎. Come back ASAP! 🇦🇺
Good way to explain it! And sounds good :)
You have to come to Perth, Western Australia. Best beaches in the world and friendly people. Have you tried a meat pie from a bakery?
We were meant to do a big Western Australia road trip after working! However, Covid happened so we're back home. We'll be back someday! And yes we've had a meat pie from a bakery! :)
Guys,
Love your laid back attitude towards us. You obviously enjoyed your time here. Please come back after the crisis is over.
But please! Check out Queensland, WA, NT and Tassie. Yep I'm Aussie. Abbreviate everything except my home state. Queensland! If I put Qld. That is short for: Quiet Little Drink!
I lived in FNQ for over 40 years, (Far North Queensland.) I would take friends out for a sail on our boat, have a Qld with Tlc's. (Tasty little critters.) Once again a shot followed by a beer on a 34 degree C. day.
Mexicans, ie. those living south of the Queensland border, basically spoke a sort of different language.
Can't wait to come back! So much more to see :)
@@twotravelingkings Lol you can spend a lifetime here and not see it all. Australia is a dangerous place to spend time in - you will suffer yo-yo syndrome forever after - and it costs you a fortune over your lifetime. Once you leave Straya - you are initially happy to be back home - seeing family etc - then you start comparing and saying "Oh I really miss this and I am over this freezing weather, So it will build until you must return. Then homesickness - missing family milestones starts to drag you back and you'll go but you have been infected by Straya and you will always keep returning - one day for good - usually because you want your children to grow up here - safe and happy with fantastic accents lol, Good Luck - if you come back sooner than later it'll be less painful. I've seen it happen countless times - the men wont to stay in Oz and the ladies yo-yo.
Nice watching your video's while you have been in Australia. Cheers
Thanks for watching! 😊
If your in New York and want a good coffee, there is a small place under the Rockefeller Center. We were visiting NY and I found this coffee shop right next to the ladies bathroom . Weird location but really good coffee.
A strange location indeed! Thanks for watching 😊
Hey guys hope you are well, I have just started watching your videos and have subscribed! If ever you come back to Australia you would be very welcome. But next time come to Adelaide we have better beaches and wine (some of the best in the world) we also have a great Asian community with great food choices aaand coffee! but Sydney is a great city though I love it! In 2018 we were in New York for a month (the people were equally friendly and helpful) and loved it, we plan to go back but it was also great to come back to Australia.
Will have to see Adelaide!
Love your videos. I hope you come back to Australia again. Come and see Hunter Valley in NSW.
Thank you for watching, so glad you're enjoying our videos! We had a trip planned and were so excited to visit Hunter Valley but we didn't expect COVID to happen. It's absolutely on the list for our next trip to Australia 😊
I was born and bred in Sydney but Brisbane is the bomb diggity. I love love love this city.
😊 thanks for watching!
Me, being an australian myself you guys would be AMAZING australians :)
Thank you :)
@@twotravelingkings OMG!!! YOU GUYS ARE AMAZINGGGGG!!!1
As an Australian I'd say your pretty much spot on !
Awesome to hear, thanks for watching! 😊
I lived in Newtown back in the day loved it
we loved Newtown!
Safe travels back! Hope to see you both at some point when it gets safe! So glad you've gotten to try and love Asian food in Asia! :)
Thanks Garrick! The best food! We'll miss it ☹️
Marrickville Pork Roll is a ripper of a shop. The best pork rolls I've had.
We were big fans, our Airbnb host recommended them to us. So good, and inexpensive! Thanks for watching 😊
You seen a really nice couple. Enjoyed hearing your views.
Thanks for the kind words and thanks for watching 😊
i used to live in marrickville its near newtown!!!!!! and the trains here you showed us a tangara they have been around since the early 90s before that we had the red rattlers!!!!!!!
Loved Marrickville 😊 thanks for watching!
Terry,Logan Aust misssss you come back
thanks for saying such nice things about Australia , i have some American friends who have imirgrated here , they seem happy . Nice people like you are welcome here so move on over . the other thing is when you work for the same company
for 10 yrs you get 10 weeks paid holiday
We loved our time in Australia and we're so bummed it got cut short, it's a great country! That vacation time sounds unreal. Thanks for watching 😊
and that's 10 weeks for every 10 years
Have a safe trip home guys! Sad that we didn't get to see you again Logan 😥
Thanks Jackie! Will miss you guys!
real nice list and OMG you mentioned COFFEE!!! so I now appoint you a honorary Aussie :) we do have good coffee lol Starbucks...... EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!! we must have stirm words though about Australian TV it is sooo bad!
Haha yeah nah Starbucks no good for an Aussie lol
You should see if you can find the Farmer Wants A Wife. They are bringing it back as a show in a couple of weeks, but it was on for a number of years. Unlike MAFS, FWaW has had 8 or 9 marriages and about 20 children... and the marriages have lasted, some for over 10 years at this point. The premise is they select 4 or 5 farmers from remote properties (farms) and select 15-20 girls for each farmer, who then whittles them down to just two or three that they then take back to the farm to see if they would fit in.... it’s not as confrontational as MAFS, but has a much better track record and the farmers are very real people.
Haven't seen that one but have heard of it. Will have to try to get it via streaming in the US. Sounds a bit more like the Bachelor but with a better success rate. 😊 Thanks for the recommendation!
Two Traveling Kings Just thought you should know... Farmer Wants A Wife will be starting this coming Sunday evening. Hope you can find a way to watch it from there. BTW.... Aussie MAFS is featuring on Celebrity Gogglebox USA. Aussie chef Curtis Stone’s American wife can’t believe it is a real show that is popular here. See if you can find those episodes. You should appreciate the American celebrity perspective... the US MAFS doesn’t have the dinner parties that the Aussie version has.
Thank you! I know who to ask when I'm craving some Aussie TV 😃
Paywave/contactless/tap-and-go yessss!
Right?! So convenient, glad you agree 😊
Have you heard of "Long service leave" after 10 years of work, you get 3 months off, fully paid. Also we get what's called "leave loading" 17 1/2% extra pay when we go on holiday.
Good to know!
You were welcome and will be welcome back
Thanks for the kind words 😊
As an Australian, after travelling to the US I appreciate not having to tip and just in general only having to pay the listed price, not price plus tax or even ++ that I came across sometimes or having to add the 20% gratuity. The price is the price!
Fair enough!
I’m happy you two Enjoyed our country... I’m a little north of Brisbane... back of the Sunshine Coast.. A place called the glasshouse Mountains. Look it up on google I think you’ll appreciate it more than Sydney, but then again I’m not a city person I don’t like any city. Anyway Australia would be happy to have a couple as you two are citizens here. Take care
Thanks for the kinds words! :) Wish we could've stayed in Australia longer
If you do come back you have to go to a suburb in Sydney called Strathfield it has the best Korean BBQ and Restaurants outside of Seoul. There is probably at least 20 to 30 places to eat there. So amazing. I’m glad you had a great time and come back as soon as COVID-19 is gone. 💙💙💙💜💜
We love Korean BBQ! Thanks for the tip 😊 and thanks for watching!
Two Traveling Kings you’re so welcome I hope you’re Safe and Well and it would be great if you do decide to come back. More great videos to be had by one and all. Have a great day
We've been away from Australia for the last year and we do miss all of the different food options.
I was surprised that public transport made it onto your list - Australians complain about public transport a lot. 😅
It had its moments... But better most of the time! 😊
Just wanna say your videos are awesome!! Keep up the aussie accent haha :)
Thanks for the kind words! 😊 Glad you enjoyed them
Glad you missed out on meeting the infamous Australian drop bears in your travels :). Always remember to smear Vegemite on yourself when walking in the bush ;)
Lol 😆
Loved Marrickville, my old stomping ground. Also, home to the best banh mi in Australia!
Fantastic banh mi 😊
Marrickville? - I'm surprised....Many better suburbs in Sydney, especially where I live by the water. I hope you both make it back here soon ✌✌
i was abroad in United states i really missed the food and coffee in Australia was so hard to find good dumplings in the united states but i do agree i miss the mexican food from california
Totally agree, being back in the US, we're missing those delicious flat whites and authentic Asian food that Australia offers. We've been enjoying great Mexican food again and making our own dumplings to get our fix! Hope you enjoyed your time abroad in the US, thanks for watching! 😊
Haha come to Townsville and try the public transport!!
We're back in the US 😊
Thankyou for coming to my Amazing country :)
We enjoyed it!
I see you have adopted the Aussie custom of speaking without opening your mouth to prevent the flies flying in!
Guess so! Thanks for watching!
lol quokka and whale shark are best seen in western Australia. since you stayed in the east you could have seen the koala, but probly not the cassowary because it lives in rainforest
Excited to see Western Australia eventually!
Of all things in Australia, I really didn't expect PayWave to not be something the US doesn't have
We're getting there! Just not as common
You pronounce Coogee the same as we do here in Perth as we have a beach here called Coogee like in Sydney. In Sydney they pronounce it Cudgee.
Not an easy one :)
Starbucks in the States have also introduced flat white coffee.
Believe it or not we're two Americans that aren't fans of Starbucks. But we may have to give in when we're really craving a flat white! 😊
@@twotravelingkings I don't know how you americans drink that percolated coffee. Then everyone seems to complain about it (ok i'm going by tv shows). Flat Whites rule over cappuccinos as there is less froth in the cup so more coffee. You don't like Starbucks, well you are obviously 2 intelligent Americans as i can't understand how they stay in business. I think we are more fussy about our coffee whereas americans will drink anything they are told is coffee LOL
We were told Australia had a strong coffee culture and we were so happy to partake. Maybe because we're American, we can still enjoy a filtered coffee but flat whites are Jenny's new favorites. We had as much delicious coffee as we could while we were in Australia. ☕😍
Two Traveling Kings Maybe I’m a strange Aussie but I enjoyed most of the coffee in the states. Been through about 35 states so far and I can’t remember having coffee that I could call BAD - just different 👍
Hope you come back, soon.
We do too! 😊
You guys needed to get up to Brissy 🤷♂️
One day 😊
Did ya meet the 'Marrackville Mauler'?
No can't say we did, which sounds like a good thing!
@@twotravelingkings Jeff Fenech. An Australian boxing legend. Probably moved to leafy north shore ☺️
@@twotravelingkings You guys are lovely.
Marrickville pork rolls are great.
Delicious!
