Blue trees are to support the "Are you OK" drive. They are painted blue by locals, generally in the bush areas to let farmers and others having depression issues that someone cares about them. Our mission is to help spark difficult conversations and encourage people to speak up when battling mental health concerns. By spreading the paint and spreading the message that "it’s OK to not be OK", we can help break down the stigma that’s still largely attached to mental health.

In Australia we paint trees blue in memory of someone who suicided. We call it this because if we say “commit” suicide we are saying they committed a crime. Wanting to end your own life is not a crime. The blue tree also helps bring awareness to the number of suicides in Australia. We even have a special day once a year called “R U Ok?” Day where we encourage everyone to check in with their families and friends to see how they are doing, and see if they need a listening ear.

In Australia people paint dead trees blue in memory for people who lost their lives to depression, it’s a symbol to raise awareness about mental health as it’s a big issue in our country today.

The reason Australian suburban restaurants close before 9:00 is not because they're less greedy than American restaurants.

South African here: Christmas here in the southern hemisphere is like a red and green version of the 4th of July for Americans. Our academic year ends in Nov/Dec so South African summer holidays are Dec-Jan (many businesses and industries also close over this time), usually about six weeks for school kids. Barbeques, hanging out outside with family and friends, swimming, long days, warm nights. Instead of a fireworks show you have the christmas tree and gifts. Also New Years, if you aren't going to a venue, are sometimes a night time barbeque with friends, getting drunk and enjoying the warm night.

"Nobody goes to the beach in winter, right?" Actually, bear in mind that Aussie winters might be cold in many areas, but also mild compared with a lot of other places. So there are always a few, even if just surfers. It is worth noting that there is a famous swimming club here called 'the Bondi Icebergs', and its major "thing" is coldwater swimming. On the first day of winter, they celebrate the season by loading up their pool with ice and then jumping in for a swim.

Australian here! Being barefoot on a regular basis is actually better for your feet's health, provided you ease into it slowly, to build up the skin on your feet and avoid significant injury. My boyfriend has been walking around almost everywhere for about a decade now and his feet are at the point where stepping on the odd broken glass shard doesn't hurt him or even do any damage. He spent five days in the bush for an event and his shoes broke after day one, so he went barefoot the rest of the time and he was running through some rough terrain, stepping on rocks, sticks, roots and more. he was absolutely fine. Better, even! (But keep in mind that his feet are like this because he spent years conditioning them on and off, taking time to rest and recover if they were sore or tender, and wearing shoes when necessary.)

Ah, that "door handle" at 2:58 is actually known as a dead lock. There's no handle for that lock on the outside, so you need a key to get in unless the "handle" part she's twisting is turned far enough that the latch remains retracted. If you lock it from the inside, the "handle" won't turn. It's a fairly effective way to make the door an unviable option for intruders looking for a quick escape, because that front door suddenly turns into a dead end, hence the name "dead lock". (It can still be unlocked and opened from the outside.) Most houses in Australia that I've lived in have a dead lock and a regular door handle below it, sometimes with a lock for the handle on the outside and a simple latch on the inside. Almost every house has a screen door as well to keep the flies out while letting a cool breeze in.

Hey Ryan, I noticed you said "I don't know why there are so many places in America that are open 24/7 and at the very least at least until 10...."and I thought I'd give you why I think that happens in America and not places like Australia. In Australia we have a reasonable minimum wage, certainly minimum wage is nothing to get over excited about but it's a lot higher than in the US; and then we have penalty rates for working over a certain number of hours or at certain times of day, it's basically an inconvenience/lifestyle loading to wages. If places want to stay open longer in Australia they have to weigh up the cost of staffing against the money that comes in. In the US in a lot of service industries basic wage is nothing short of appalling and staff are expected to make their shift worthwhile through tips. This gives little disinsentive for employers to take staff into account or to close earlier, and that is were the greed you mentioned comes in to play. Businesses want to make money, and for the owner the more the better. The US needs to do away with tipping, provide a substantial increase to minimum wages, and expect the additional staffing cost to flow through to the price the customer pays. This will make the system fairer by eliminating bias, disincentivise employers to stay open at uneconomical times, and provide better working conditions for Americans.

I live inner city near an Olympic size swimming pool and love how you see locals walking down the cafe strip no shoes in bathers towel over the shoulder. Families all walking through the parks back from the pool no shoes and then jumping on dads feet to cross the street. Also if you see a pair of shoes placed next to a walk to a beach or next to the car park for the river. They are placed there for when people return. They aren’t forgotten. We all know that placed shoes are for the walker who has gone barefoot.

Christmas in summer is normal when you grow up with it. We think it’s weird that is snows in the Nothern Hemisphere when it’s so hot with it, but we understand how the world turns, so we don’t say it. I now understand why Australians call you a C word.

Just a few things from a Queenslander, born and bred in Brisbane the capital of Queensland (QLD). 1. In QLD Footy is either Rugby League or Australian Rules. Rugby Union is Rugby. Soccer/ Football is either Soccer or Football. These are our winter sports. Our summer sport is Cricket in all 3 versions. 2. Yes, we can go to the beach in Winter though we would probably only wear a hoodie or a flanno (flannelette shirt) and shorts. 3. The majority of us do wear shoes in shops, in summer it would usually be thongs though. 4. Thongs in Australia - you wear on your feet. The thongs Americans wear are called a g-string. 5. Americans' word for a bottom, fanny, means pussy here or c$@t. And even though we are freer with that word we don't tend to use it all the time. 6. We do work to live, not live to work. We work hard but we love our downtime. 7. When my American Auntie, (My Nanna was a WWII bride who stayed in Australia), came out here these were some of the first things she said:- firstly, she thought Australia was in Europe; secondly, she thought our country was totally flat - only the centre is flat and even that isn't totally flat; and thirdly, she asked if we had ever heard of God, she was going to convert us. We kindly explained that we had and that we were confirmed in the Church of England and that we are mainly a Christian Country. Loving to hear your take on our brilliant country and sorry but I have to correct all Americans - Australia is the best country in the world by far. I mean, what other country has a national icon that is constantly off it's chops? 🐨😉😃

As a NZ Kiwi living in Perth, WA since 2011, it's still not as friendly here as my South Island home town in NZ ... I didn't notice how friendly it was in NZ growing up until I came to Aus and experienced A LOT of not so friendliness, esp some very rude customer service, then in 2015 I went back to NZ to visit my mum and was reminded just how incredibly friendly it is there; in just one store on a Saturday morning I had 5 different young women coming up to me asking if I needed any help, I was sooo shocked, haha ... I didn't realise how accustomed I'd become in Aus to rudeness on a daily basis🤣, so proud of my homeland!👏👏👏

One of the things about going barefoot, especially for QLD and NT is that coming in from mid 40s°C temp into a supermarket with air conditioning and near the freezer section and kicking off the thongs and letting the cold floor cool you from the soles up can be pretty refreshing.

When the recipe for tomato ketchup was being introduced to the Australian market it was too thick and too sweet for their palates and so they stuck to the local Aussie tomato sauce recipe instead - to this day there is still a company (Heinz) who keeps trying to convince us that we’d like ketchup but we’re definitely too stubborn 😂

The Blue Tree Project began in Western Australia and encourages people to choose a dead tree that needs a "blue lease on life" and paint it in memory of a friend who lost their life to depression or had battled the illness.

I have seen the sign of No Shoes, No Shirt, No Service outside some businesses but there are a lot places that don't care.

I go barefoot at home all the time - we live out in the country in southern Victoria - but I only go barefoot when away from home when I'm at the beach.

6:25 really?? You haven't heard of siesta?? It's not just a nap.. it's shops in Spain closing for an hour or two every day around lunch time... So yeah "i do that too!" no you don't you missed the point :P
