If They Ever Kick Me Out Of The United States

I’ll happily pack up the family and move to Australia.

Over the last couple of years I have had the opportunity to spend quite a bit of time living in the land down under.  I spent 3 months living in Adelaide, the Southern capital, and 8 weeks living in downtown Sydney.

Both trips were a great experience, especially since I was able to fly the family over during my time in Adelaide.

I was amazed at, in addition to being a beautiful country, how clean the cities are.  The Aussies are a very environmentally conscious people.  There’s not much in the way of big industry, so the air is clean and the sky is the richest shade of blue.

And healthy?  You don’t find many fast food places in the streets of Australia.  Most eateries are focused on fresh fruits and vegetables, and there’s a juice shop on almost every corner.

And the beaches?  While in Sydney, I spent quite a bit of time at Bondi Beach, one of the most famous surfing beaches in the world.  Gorgeous scenery, killer waves, and Australian women in bikinis - now that’s a good day.

I love this quote about the country:

“For Americans, Australia engenders nostalgia for our own past, which we gauzily remember as infused with John Wayne plain-spokenness and vigor. Australia evokes an echo of our own frontier, which is why Australia is the only place you can unironically still shoot a Western.”
