My wife misses the Aussie humour and the general warmness of Australians. The Brits are not the friendliest people in the world regardless how they seem.Last edited by N_LaRUE; 01-06-2017 at 05:00 AM.

So you'll often find a lot joking about the other places, sometimes seeming insulting but all in good humour for the most part. It's part of the Australian 'taking the p*ss' out of each other and themselves. It's one of the more endearing things about Australians.- Share

- Do yourself a favour libra89 and visit Tasmania. Best fresh food; best wines, beers and spirits; exciting food and arts scene; MONA; cleanest air in all of Australia; lush temperate rainforests; epic and ancient landscapes; some of the world's best national parks and walking tracks... have the whole island to yourself (and 500,000 other people). Preferably come in the glorious southern summer.
Don't take my word for it, go and check it out for yourself! :)

There are lots of wonderful places in Australia. Depends what you're after at the end of the day.
I really enjoyed northern Queensland when I lived there. Regardless of the humidity. There are coffee plantations up there and I love coffee.
Also the scenery was just stunning.- Share

- No, I will try it later. But I got the blue screen the other day, so, it's probably either dead or dying.

- There were some interesting things announced at CES so far. I really liked that Dell's XPS 13 2 in One. It looks like something I'd really make a use of at a collegr, but it's a bit pricey though.

- Yeah, plenty of amazing gadgets and new technologies. The 2017 XPS 13 2-in-1 looks great. And I like 2017's lineup of 4K displays from Sony, Samsung and LG. I'm not sure whether to buy last year's TVs at a reduced price now or wait till when they release the models announced at CES in the middle of the year.
There are a few mobile devices that were announced at or before CES but the one that's caught my eye is, surprisingly, the Alcatel A3 XL.
I'd pick one up as a basic introductory device to the Android platform or as a backup phone. Too bad the price converts to AU$277 (US$200), which means it'll probably be priced at $299 when it comes to Australia. That's expensive for an entry-level android device with a 1.1Ghz processor and 1GB memory in 2017.- Share

That new HP's phone costs almost 1800KM.- Share

- Australians love their sport. More than probably any other country I've been to. There is no real distinction in that way when it comes to things like that. There are more like rural areas vs cities.
Melbourne likes it's Aussie Rules football whereas most other cities are not so fussed. For other's it's Rugby in the colder months and cricket in the warmer months. Then there's the Olympic sports which Australia seems to go nutty for.
I'm not a sports person so it wasn't my thing. I'm more the foodie.
The other thing you'll find is Aussies like to drink, a lot. They tend to be friendly but don't go thinking it's a 'safe' place. Lots of things happen in Australia that don't get advertised too much and it's just like travelling anywhere else.- Share

- Yes they're way more into sports than the Brits from my personal opinion.
The big game here is football. Like Europe in general. In Australia it's rugby followed by cricket typically.
It's a bit hard to explain the differences. Like any country though you have the hard cores fans and then there's the wannabes.- Share

- Aussie Rules is the biggest and most popular brand of football in Australia followed by rugby and then soccer (football), however rugby is more popular than aussie rules in NSW and QLD. As for most popular sport in Australia, I think it's more of a dead heat between aussie rules and cricket.
