What is it like to live in Australia?I'm
considering moving and working in Australia. However, I would like to
know what it is like to live out there. I'm from the United States and
would like to know if it is similar or totally different. Obviously
language wouldn't be a problem but I'm pretty sure that there are
differences in lifestyle.
So can anyone tell me what life in Australia is like? And how its
similar or different to living in the United States?

well
i have never been out of australia..or out of victoria reay so i dont
know what other countries are like but here we are a 'lucky' country we
dont have many natral disasters exept tusnamis and hurricanes but only
if you are on the coast. health care is all free and stuff (you have to
pay in the US dont you?) but appart from that i think its pretty
normal..oh well internet is much slower because australia is so large
but not populated everywhere something like that...fedral and state
goverment (i think those are the ones..) are doing afew stupid things at
the moment if u ask me. but i suppose my oppinion doesnt count for much
as im only 13..

You might find that Aussies
(pronounced Ozzies, not Ossies) are a bit more laid back than you are
used to.
We are not really impressed by how much is in your bank account or who
your father is, celebrities are just people like us.
Don't be offended if someone calls you a septic tank, it's just rhyming
slang for Yank.
Expect to be given a nickname or have your name shortened within 2 days
of meeting someone.
It's a sign that you've been accepted.
We do have large cities as well as tiny outback towns, kangaroos don't
jump down the main street of Sydney, Melbourne or Brisbane ans we don't
all sound like The Crocodile Hunter.
It's a great lifestyle, a great climate and we are wonderful people, our
only fault is our modesty.

Australia is beautiful -
and is also a country of extremes. I have no idea where you are from in
the USA so difficult to compare.
As Australia is a continent and not a country you must accept different
states can have different laws and scenery.
Research well and check with immigration to see if you qualify!

i
moved from Russia (yes,russia) to Australia 14 years ago and i
absolutely love it! Its by far one of the most amazing countries in the
world. The people are kind and very generous and the beaches are
amazing! Everything is very laid back and no one really cares about what
you wear or how you act. You could even walk out into the street in
your pyjamas and no one would care! the only problem is that it can get
very hot and the chances of getting skin cancer are pretty high. but
thats about it. everything else is great!

Well I used
to live in the Philippines 4 years ago and lifestyle there was
completely different to what it is for me here now. I would say
Australia is a pretty good country to live in. why? because...
1. I live here! lol (yeah that's right I have to be the first main
reason)
2. It is a safe country compare to the U.S, Asia etc...
3. Government will always support you.
4. Lots of beautiful beaches (just be aware of sea creatures lol)
5. Lots of medical care centers to go to.
6. I live here!
and I'm sure there's more.. now did i mention i live here?

All
you need to know about us that we're racist scumbs according to a large
American Population. We don't have people like Barack Obama (aka Barry
Soetro) in our country and you will not drive a Kangaroo to work. We are
very tolerant when it comes to electing Socialist Governments though
and No, we don't have a Bill of Rights. In fact, we are a nanny state
and our secret Sex Affair with China is not even Secret anymore. What we
do have is Hot chicks, good weather, americanised junk food and aussie
vegiMATE. We always welcome illegal immigrants and we sure pay for their
well being. If you don't get an Aussie Visa then you could just as well
come with a boat to our country and our Navy will intercept you just a
100 km from Aussie Mainland.
No, we do not have Sarah Palin, Harry Reid or Nancy Pel0psi like
politicians.
