Is Australia pretty much like America except the people have cooler accents?
Answer:
I'm Australian… good question… and thanks for liking our accents : ) hehe.. very adorable.
In terms of infrastructure, highways, high rised city skylines, the dollar, the beaches, the weather.. then yes, I would say they are quite similar.
Of course they are both very special in their own way…. Australia is very vast and about 90% of us live on the coast because there's a massive desert in the middle : )
As to being friendlier?! Well, I think that all comes down to the individual really, good and bad in every country.
I would say America has more of a buzz about it, being more populated, making it a tiny more exciting… the pace of Australia generally is quite laid-back, but if you're an adrenalin junkie, there's always watersports and outdoor activities, but if you like the buzz of a huge city, I think Sydney is the only place you'll feel it… (just one persons opinion). If you like to surf, anywhere around the country is great!
But yeah to answer your question, I do think they’re semi-similar… lots of US Television and quite influenced by America, but still it's own country.
Hope that helps and again - just one persons view : )
Care about it! Whenever you get there!
Answer:
Australia has more knowledge in water sporting goods and things like that. America is better with movies and stuff. Both have their pros and cons, but they are both developed countries with the same brands and intentions, so yes, they are similar.
BTW, the aussie accent is not always easy 2 understand, but i concur, it is a cooler accent.. =]
Answer:
No, not at all.. Although Australia is becoming a bit more like America everyday.. I wouldn't call it “similar”
We’ve different cultures, different laws, different people, we're more friendly.. Superior education systems.. Superior weather.
By the things I've seen on the news in the last few months about America, I'm glad I live in Australia..
Answer:
Australia is MUCH superior than America.
It is far safer, our people are friendlier, our climate is infinitely superior and our education system is better to name just a few important differences.
