So I'm moving to Australia. Do Aussies like Americans?
theyre the same thing
>>70984Eh?
As long as you're white
no, we dont like americans some ppl here hate them other just dont say anything
Nobody really likes Americans. :\
BOY HOWDEE, YER AUSTRAYLIAHNS SURE AREN'T AS GREAT AS BACK HOME. SEE, WE HAVE HOTDOGS, AND FREEDOM. YER NO BETTER THAN THEM I..I..IRAKS.ps: not really
Just don't crap on about how everything is better in your wonderful homeland and we won't tell you to fuck off back there.
>>70983Yes, we have no inclinations toward the American people. For the most part, the way you treat others reflects on you.
most countries hate Americans
Including America.
It's like some divine force put a bunch of deadly animals in one placepoisonous spiders everywhere
>>70983as long as you aren't an asshole then yes they will like you
>>71020I guess you've never been to Brazil. (American living in Brazil and drowning in American loving vagoo).
>>71063One of my friends went there and she said the girls are gold diggers. Surely, it's like everywhere else and you can find a few that you can fuck for a bit, with no strings attached, and they're not looking for you to be their sponsor, yes?
some aussies are nice, some are dicks.. just like everywhere.. but they will call you a yank no matter where you are from... and seppo, short for septic tank.. i find it pretty offensive. if you are cool, just like anywhere in the world. people will like you.
>>70983Do Aussies like Americans?Aussies don't have a problem with individuals, it's your government that everyone hates. Don't talk about politics or wars and you'll be fine.Also, the first reply was the best reply.
australians worship americans
>>71225>it's your government that everyone hates.Your typical bogan can't tell the difference and will throw beer cans and scream shit at any American on sight, kind of like an aggressive monkey.
just say " ayy " a lot and pretend your canadianif you say your american they transport you to wagga wagga and feed you to the bunyip
>>throw beer cans and scream shit at any Americanumm thats like a rule of law in most countries now
everything in australia will kill youhttp://www.lonelyplanet.com/bluelist/index.cfm?fa=main.viewList&list_id=10409
>>71302>lonelyplanet:-|
If anybody asks just claim you're Canadian.
Don't listen to these morons, most of them could care less about politics. They'll even think you're kinda cool being from America, but don't act like a dick.
If your an average American the transition from ketchup to vegemite may be hard for you. But never fear! Living in America, I bet your already used to by-products that taste funky.
I went to Australia once when I was in the Navy. It was awesome, they seemed to like Americans just fine. It was ridiculous how many guys, well, you know, with the locals. For me the best part was meeting this super awesome comic shop owner who gave me a free hat. And then this bartender in this casino gave me free scratchers for a silly promotion till I won. I love Brisbane *sigh* I wanna go back.
general australian attitude to seppos is a mix of resentment, mocking disdain and genuine affinity.the most important thing to realise is that fundamentally australian society is profoundly sceptical and stoic, whereas US society is ready to believe in anything
going back and forth between both countries, and as an australian citizen, I can tell you that you might get some people fawning over you/your accent, some people might look at you as a "Psh, american", but most people won't give 2 squirts of shit either way :)If you treat someone nicely, they'll treat you nicely. If you decide to be all YEEE HAWWW AMERICAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA then people will tell you to fuck right off Gloaty McGee.
>>71827Wow, this is actually a very accurate representation of the AU attitude towards Americans. Even if he did use the word seppo.
>>71204HOW YOU DO THAT
>>70983who likes americans ?
that depends, upon arrival when you go through immigration you will be asked if you like vegimite, if you answer no you will be deported immediately. If you answer yes, you will be put to a test by firstly having to spread the vegimite on a piece of toast, if you spread it on thick like peanut butter you will fail and be deported.
-Don't be an asshole-Drink beer-Don't be elitist (we HATE tallpoppies)-Don't talk about Gridiron-Don't talk about America-Don't talk alot (keep it short)-Don't say mate until the accent goes (thick yankee accents are too funny sounding)-Don't approach abbos-Don't go into the slums-Wear a condom (the women are bushpigs)-Reserve money for a ticket back to America, because Aussie sucks
"Seppo" is rarely used to be offensive, its like black people calling each other "Nigger".
Just pretend you're Canadian, seriously...ausfags <3 canadiafags
>>72732Isn't that Standard Operating Procedure for Americans traveling abroad anymore?
>>72743No, it never was. Only Canadians think this because of their massive superiority complex.
http://www.google.com/search?q=canadian+flag+backpack+mythFuck you dipshits for bringing it up over and over again.
There are an awful lot of Brits living down under.What is the general Aussie consensus on the British?
No, but we dont mind Canadians.
>>72758What is the general Aussie consensus on the British?About halfway between Kiwi's and Americans I guess. Expect some good natured banter to be directed your way.
>>72758I'm an ausfag and in the most respect I find them alright (same with kiwis and sarth efricans). It's the low class ones (chavs?) that shit me to tears...
I know many ausfags that hate 'yanks' mainly because according to them:1) you *have* to get your opinion in instead of just going with the conversational flow - "you know what i think..."2) you act like tough shit, stereotypical new yokers - "eyyyyyy... god is good, huh"3) american tourists just *have* to start fights for no reason to prove that they are in fact, tough shit, to the point of waiting outside clubs for hours for their prey to step out. must not be used to the drinking age.i don't have a problem with americans but w/eactually i haven't met an american i have had a problem with, although it amuses me how apologetic most of you are about george. w.
>>72819>although it amuses me how apologetic most of you are about george. w.they better be
>>72744Ssh! Don't say that. What did I tell you about the Canadians? They're a sensitive people and we need to be attentive to their needs.
>>72819Yeah, most Americans who travel abroad are spineless liberals.I wouldn't apologize. I would say, "I made a mistake, but to be honest what the rest of the world felt about whom I should choose for the presidency never did and still doesn't matter to me."
>>72825IF you want to make Australian friends, this man kindly depicted exactly how you SHOULD NOT act around members of the international community.
>>72807No, but we dont mind Canadians.But Canadians hate Australians because there's an ocean between us and the US.
>>71255The typical Australian bogan agrees with the American government.
>>73205Thats because they hate lebs, and by extension america's kill every muslim in sight policy makes them happy.Also I hear that aussie women love having sex with american sailors.True?Oh, I live in Texas and Aussies as well as Texans that have been to Australia I've talked to say they're both the same thing. Minus the niggers and mexicans, plus the abbos and lebs.
We typically hate Americans. Several girls at my school were mildly shunned for being American.
>>70983better another stupid yank down here than another fucken slanty eyed ching chong
>>75229Oh. Wow.
>>71063Enjoy your AIDS and CokeAnd yes I've lived there for 2 years in Santa Catarina
As long as you're not a retard. And even if you're not a retard, don't say anything stupid, because the American accent somehow multiplies stupid sounding phrases by 18 times.We have enough idiotic people as it is.
>>71204seppo isn't intended as an offensive term. it's just rhyming slang.
It depends on the American. Back in high-school we had a guy come over from Oregon (spelling?) for a year, and he was a top bloke. But some of you guys are fucking annoying and loud and obnoxious.tl;dr We like americans who aren't dickheads.
>>76657Wow, as an American I only like Australians who aren't dickheadsSame goes for Dutch, Guyanese, Argentinian, Mongolian, Antartican, gays, blacks, jews, whites, men, women...
Please bring over curly fries and dr pepper. Like a whole truckload.
>>76661Whoa, whoa, wait.You don't have Dr. Pepper in Australia?!You really are just nothing but a pack of barbarians down there, aren't you?
>>76661n...no curly fries? why would anyone ever go there
as an american, i'd say: depends on the americanwe have an unusual affinity for douchebaggery, but many of us are splendid people. there's too much variety to generalize, although, in many cases, the stereotypes are true :\
>>76663A few places have imported Dr. Pepper. But people don't drink it over here, we have something called beer.And most of the time we like Americans, despite all the stereotypes. In fact Australians tend to be very welcoming to people from English-speaking countries.
>>76673WAT.PS Guys: I remember reading something about aussies coming to texas and vice versa a lot. Can anyone confirm? There was even a thread on /trv/ a while back with the state and the country of australia next to eachother with the "Manly Men" caption.
Aussies are way closer to Americans than CDNs I think. The best people I met traveling were Aussies. Men and women both. I would never attempt to be "Canadian". Want to see more Canadian flags than local flags? Go to Thailand. Fuckers put up their flag in every single roach filled guest house and videoke bar..... It's all yours pal.
>>76428What is considered the "standard American accent"? New York, Mid West, Southern, etc?
>>76754Nebraska, they don't sound like they're from anywhere.All TV anchors and such take it up
>>76825the most "neutral" accent use to be Lakes Region and non-coastal Mid-Atlantic, but anchors and radio personalities have been selected for "local" accents due to media being so homogenized.
>>76842*used
>>76754California, because that's where all the movies and TV shows come from, obviously!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>>76921totally dude
>>76921There are no actors from California
