Australia compared to America

[TRUNKS]

What are the differences, APART from population and everything like that.

-At first I thought we spoke differently (like we say AP-L and you say AP-EL and so on) except ALL of the hollywood movies Ive seen (a LOT) we speak exactly the same...
-I heard you guys have scorpions not only in the desert?! Cool
-You dont have kangaroos? Well you probabaly do, but thats the same with us. ; Ive only seen very few wild kangaroos. And Ive seen ONE echidna in the wild. Wierd lil things.


And??! Dont get me wrong, Im not AGAINST america... I'd probabaly go over there for a holiday if it was so similar to australia... maybe Ill go to Italy... or Japan.

You're kidding right? I have a habit of not knowing sarcasm when I see it

There's a lot of kangaroos in Australia, more than 50 million to be exact. I know lotsa people who goes there just to see kangaroos, koala and Steve Irwin

50 million Kangaroos? :whatthe: that's higher than the people population. The only ones I have seen are in wildlife parks (kangaroos that is )

Differences... well let's see...

We have more people than kangaroos.
We don't wrestle crocodiles.
We don't use the metric system, nor do we use Celcius.

Oh, wait. Here's a good one:

We drive on the right side of teh road.

Um - isn't the point of going overseas to experience something completely different to your home country? :confused2

1. If we seriously have more kangaroos then people, they all must stay away from the parts of Australia I roam.
2. You mean, you dont have one certain individual called Steve Irwin who wrestles crocodiles.
3. My cat's breath smells like cat food.
4. No, WE drive on the right side of the road!

 

[notnamed]

Technically, we drive on the right. You drive on the left

No, you people most definitely drive on teh left.

[conkermaniac]

Actually, Australians drive on the right, I believe. English people drive on the left.
