Australia is beautiful and cleaner…but really, the cost of living is there is absolutely ridiculous. I’ve been living in Australia for three years (Sydney and Gold Coast) and it’s just outrageous what they charge for everyday items as well as luxury items/with junk quality. I’d rather forgo the “kindness” of Aussies for a cheaper way of life in the US right now.MOVED FROM LAS VEGAS TO AUSTRALIA ABOUT 15 MONTHS AGO ! - AND I’M BORED AS HELL !!!! - I LIVE NOW IN CAIRNS.

THE PEOPLE SMELL LIKE CAMBELL’S SOUP BECAUSE IT’S SO FRIGGIN HUMID !

THE PRICES FOR CARS AND MOTORCYCLES ARE DOUBLE !

FOOD IS 3 TIMES THE PRICE !

A PAIR A SNEAKERS COST $300 SAME PAIR IN THE USA ONLY ABOUT $65

INTERNET IS 10 TIMES SLOWER AND ABOUT $100 DOLLARS A MONTH

TELEPHONE IS LIKE $300 IN THE STATES YOU CAN GET A PLAN THROUGH CABLE FOR ONLY $20 MONTH UNLIMMITED CALLING ANYTIME IN THE USA !

I DON’T THINK I NEED TO GO ON —- DO I ?

AUSTRALIA IS A RIP OFF BECAUSE YOU PAY 3 TIMES WHAT YOU’D PAY IN THE STATES AND MOST TIMES IT IS LOWER QUALITY !

CAIRNS ALSO IS HUMID AS HELL 6 MONTHS OF THE YEAR AND RAINS ALMOST EVERYDAY IN THE WET SEASON WHICH LASTS 3 MONTHS !

IF YOU WANT TO BE BROKE - BORED AND SMELL LIKE BO….. BOOK A FLIGHT TO CAIRNS !

OH DID I MENTION A NEW HOUSE AND LAND IS ABOUT ON AVERAGE $650.000.00 SAME HOUSE IN VEGAS ONLY $275.00

Thanks

IF YOU THINK COST OF LIVING IS HIGH HERE THEN I SUGGEST YOU MOVE TO THE UK...PHONE IS £1 A YEAR AND SNEAKERS ARE HANDED OUT FOR FREE FROM THE GOVERNMENT...NIKE/ADIDAS/REEBOK WHATEVER YOU WANT.

OH DID I MENTION A HOUSE AND LAND IS ONLY £100 I CANT BELIEVE ITS AS MUCH AS $275 DOLLARS IN THE USA !!!

A normal size Mars Bar is $2.50 in the 7/11 on Walker St in North Sydney. Try telling me I couldnt get that cheaper in the UK. I could get a bloody King Size for that!

But then you can't beat a Domino's Pizza for $4.95

Class.
