Something really bothered me at work today.
I was in the lunch room and I got a text from Brendan who was in vegas at the time, and someone asked me who it was from, I told her my friend who was in Vegas. She then launched into this great big spiel about how great America is, and spent the next 20 minutes of my lunch break pointing out every flaw that Australian's have.
This really bugged me. If you have such a love for American's, move over there. Don't sit there and point out everything that's better about American's than Australian's. I love Australia, I love the country, I love the people and I love the lifestyle. And when I tried to explain that to her, my opinion was cast off, while hers was thrown down my throat. I also found it very hypocritical, yes it was fine for her to say all of these things, but is she very different? She boasted about how American's will help a stranger off the street blah blah blah and how Australian's won't, but would she actually do this?
I don't really know what the whole point of my writing this is, but it's just been bugging me all day.
Merry christmas everyone.

Don't worry. I know exactly what you mean.
When I went to America, I found myself appreciating Australia even more. And as for the people, I found the majority of them to be very rude (particularly the service workers).
This is not to say that all American's are rude though - far from it - but I don't love them.
omg yes. they are rude.
