I thought I should do one with Australia, since there is one about the United States.
United States thread: http://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/803668/what-do-you-think-of-the-united-states/p1

Anyway, as the title says, what do you think of Australia?

    Woops. I noticed this was posted in the Sims 4 section. My apologies everyone.

    This needs to be moved to the off-topic section. XD

    At least before this thread gets moved. (I sense the UK version will be made soon. Be sure to tag me if it it does...)

    I live here so love it. Hate summer though.
    Kangaroos will wreck your car if you hit one.
    We have some of the best beaches.

    I heard everything wants to kill you there.

    Kidding, it is an awesome country full of awesome people. I love it.

    Nothing special.
    Never seen a kangaroo outside of a zoo, ever.

    Australia
    Cons - too hot, too many dangerous critters, too much desert, Vegemite, tin can & string internet.
    Pros - glorious beaches, filled with dangerous critters. Laid back, good humoured people, wide open spaces.

    Vegemite is a pro. It's yummy especially with heaps of butter.

    Place I live.

    -Vegemite sucks.
    -Every animal wants to kill you
    -Wayy too hot
    -Summer Christmas
    -Beaches are the best
    -People have a weird accent (including myself)
    -Multiculturalism
    -School Uniforms :neutral_face:
    -Awesome food
    -Too hot

    I'll probably find so many more but honestly I can't think of any right now.

    The con is the butter. Eeeew.

    Thinly spread vegemite is quite good ^_^ but ONLY thinly spread.

    I saw one on a school trip to the country, actually saw about 50 just jumping across the road in front of the bus. Also, when I went to Broken Hill, the bus back ran over two :(

    That sounds so foreign to me!
    I've seen a wombat before on a walking trail LOL but that's all I've ever seen in my 18 years of living here. I live in the crappy urban South Western Sydney area.

    Really? You must not get out of the city/burbs much, like ever. I used to see wild kangaroos every now and then while driving to work on a major highway in a semi-rural area. If you drive in the country you will more than likely see them, and wombats, and echidnas, snakes, big lizards etc.

    I only rarely eat it. It's one of those "can only eat when in the mood" kinda things for me.
    @LovelyMelody - My brother teased a kangaroo at Lake Eildon when we were kids, and it eventually had enough, and kicked him in the stomach, knocking him flat, it was hilarious. Horrible kid deserved it ;)
    We have wallabies coming onto our property every night. They are a little family :) There are 2 adults and two little babies, they are SO adorable. Well, except when they eat my younger sons vegetable garden.

    No no no. Spread the butter then a thin layer of Vegemite. Is awesome.
    But put it on 2 sao's and squeeze it so it looks like worms.

    No not weird at all. I find Australian accents to be hot. :blush:

    It depends on what part of Australia you come from, sometimes you hear a Bogan accent and think "oh man is that what we sound like." Hahaha
  • CrackFoxCrackFox Posts: 1,507 Member
    Don't have much of an opinion of it other than the general stereotyping.

    Hot all year round, awesome but also terrifying wildlife and I kind of imagine them being a lot like us English, personality wise though TV depictions aren't all that flattering. Still, I think every country is heavily lost in translation. Especially the way Americans think we English/British live and act.

    Bogan accents are the worst! I have a mix between the Australian accent and a Croatian/Wog accent - hehe. But if @EasyToRead finds them hot, each to their own :#

    Not sure if that's a criticism of me or not, but it rubbed me the wrong way for some reason.

    I'm a 20 year old student. I've got no reason to leave my home in the suburbs to go to rural Sydney.

    When I did live in a rural area for a few months I saw snakes, lizards, cows, horses and some camels. I did see a wombat on a trail that I mentioned earlier, but I've never seen a kangaroo outside of a zoo.

    Vita-weats are the bomb
  • LovelyMelodyLovelyMelody Posts: 896 Member
    BTW, @joleaco I was not being mean in my post just explaining why I haven't really seen them... not saying they aren't around it's just my experience I don't mean any offense.

    YES! Vita-weats. I dunno. I think you can. I haven't had them since a kid.
