FUNNY RANDOM FACTS ABOUT AUSTALIA: -Their cheeses don't make me run to the toilet. Nor do their meats. I seem to have a problem with American dairy products. -Their junk food is expensive, but their healthy food is cheap. So if chocolate is an aphrodisiac, you'll be very sexually frustrated when you can't afford a candy bar. -They have a lot of bugs since they're not so heavy into pest control. Bring bug repellent and a bat when you come to visit. Don't be afraid to by stupid looking hats to keep the flies away either! -If you ever go to Melbourne, don't be afraid to walk down a dark alley. You may see some very impressive art. Just watch where you step... they also seem to serve as public restrooms from time to time. -Go to Koala Cove while driving on The Great Ocean Road! Seriously, it's cool! Oh yeah, and they REALLY do sell POO! -Stay away from Vegemite if you didn't grow up on it. To me, it smells like fish bait and tastes like medicine. -Many American restaurants are called something completely different, but they are there. For example, Burger King is Hungry Jacks and Red Robin is still gross. -They don't tip because the waiters make good money, but get ready to spend more money on the meal. -Australians don't put another shrimp on the barbie unless you want your ass kicked. -Toilets don't really flush the other way. My dreams were crushed when I found that out. -The holes in their toilets are about 3 times bigger than American toilet holes. That's because Australians are more full of... thinking time : ) -They drive on the left side of the road. That'll play with your head for a while, lol. WHY WAS I SO SAD LOOKING: I wasn't sad... I was tired from all the editing I had been doing to make this video the best I could make it. It was very hard to express the experience in the way that I felt it, through a 10 minute video.

i guess what the anti melbourne guy meant was Melbourne is a cess-pool of different cultures, and that it is. It has become too multi-cultural.Ive moved to another country and i dont miss the arrogant Turks, dirty lebs, young italion stallion wannabees. A sad place now. It has great Aussie rules though!!!! Thats a good point. :)

l really don't know where you're coming from ! There is nothing at all sad about Melbourne, it's a great place to live. Yes we are very multi cultural but that is something you'd have to take up with our Government. l personally think it adds character to Melbourne & yes our Aussie rules are the best. A VERY PROUD Melbournian !!

Its great to be proud of your home city. Didnt mean to offend. I just saw the great changes from when i was a teenager to when i was in my late 30's. Alot of people of my era feel the same. When people dont like you because you are an Aussie (yes, in Australia). Then there is something very wrong. Nothing is better than typical Aussie "character". Enjoy the last years of it while it lasts.

lt's cool..no offense taken. Yes Melbourne has changed a lot from when l was a teenager too. l guess at times l get annoyed with some changes here but l still love it. l don't really care what other nationalities think of us. l was born & bred here & it will always be My Melbourne. If they don't like it or us they can go back where they come from. l reckon that's fair hey ?? Have a good day x

there are idiots in all parts of the world and obviously they are some of them. this is a great video and it should be taken in the vein it ws meant to be - which was that Melbourne and Victoria in general is great.
