Re: what do you hate about Oz?
I hate whinging Aussies, endless red tape, terrible drivers, lots of restrictive laws, comparative lack of choice.

Re: what do you hate about Oz?
Top 5?
1 If you are not black, you have a second line for everything, also at the post office
2 If you are an expat you count less than a drunk homeless
3 The food it's all frozen, expired and taste shit. More than that, it's f...ing expensive. An apple 1.5 USD
4 Roaches everywhere, in the house, in the cabinets ... everywhere and they are immortal
5 The worst, expat that got married with locals and acquired status, so now they act racist against their original citizens ... most of them are europeans.

I would say hate is too stronger word....but I feel I miss the cleverness of the English sense of humour....and (I must be mixing in the wrong circles here) the intellingence

Re: what do you hate about Oz?
I was watching some Monty Python clips on Youtube this morning and thinking that no-one can do humour like the British. It's like when the Aussies tried to do Top Gear, it just doesn't work.

Re: what do you hate about Oz?
People who immigrate here and then bitch and moan because it's not "just like home". Same thing I hated in my home country, too.
No, I don't love everything about Australia but for as long as the good outweighs the bad I'll make do. If the dislike side of the list ever gets longer than the like I'll know it's time to move on.
