I'd also add two more for you:- 1) Don't jump queues - nothing is more annoying than "queue-jumping" and you will get called out for it; and 2) Don't be disrespectful towards those helping you. Waiters, shop assistants, nurses, bus drivers, cleaners etc. all deserve respect so don't be a jerk.

The bottom third of the entire paper was all job opportunities. I am from Montreal, Quebec, Canada. At that time Quebec was in a prolonged recession which lasted most of the 1990s, due to the emotional separation issue. The early 1990s was difficult for everyone. The rest of the world recovered, but Quebec remained in the doldrums until the end the the decade. There is a Aussie word which I have forgotten. I went scuba diving on the Great Barrier Reef. After that, some of us were invited to hang on to a type of net which the boat was towing. I did this along with other people. What is that activity called? Cheers, mate! 🙂

    I've been living in Oz for about a year. I really want to learn more about this and have more conversation, but I feel Aussies are actually not very direrct. They mostly express their opinion indirectly, somewhat similar to British. For example, my manager told me "it's ok if you wanna to work during your roster off time, but I'd rather you go to beach and enjoy your time off", but he actually meant (I found out later) that "DO NOT WORK during that time off" and I got HR warning for just working!" and on ther hand, it's easy to offend someone when speaking in a more direct tone, even if you accompay it with a smile. I'm glad to learn more about this and whether I'm obsberving the culture correctly. thanks for the video.

    This is common sense in many cultures. Always be respectful of other peoples' time. If you are going to be late, then call and let them know. Politics, religion and sex are taboo subjects in most cultures. I am from Canada. We are known for being too polite, LOL! xD The fine for not picking up a dog's poop here is also $200. This is even more important here because our winters last almost 5 months, so all the frozen poop can accumulate for all that time, so you must pick up after the dog at all times. 5 months of dog poop is horrible. Saying "What?" is very rude. The Isrealis say this a lot in Hebrew and find it normal, ha ha ha. They equate basic courtesy and politeness to weakness. (Being too polite for no reason is actually weak, though.) I lived in Australia for 5 months. Because of my Canadian/USA Midwest accent in English they would often think I was American, which did not bother me because I understand why they would think this. However, if you confuse the Australian accent with the New Zealand one they will get offended, ha ha ha! xD Also I am from Montreal but I speak the European French, not the Quebecois one. Here in my own city I am seen as a foreigner, which does not bother me at all. I have also been to South America 8 times, out of which Argentina 7 times. Muchas Gracias, Ciao! 🙂

    A lot of things are different in Australia than in Germany. I also don't like unpunctuality, rudeness, unannounced visits or not keeping enough distance between people. I can learn from the Australians to take life easier, not to think too much, worry less and not plan long-term, to enjoy life, to laugh more and to be where life takes place - outside and among people.

    *In Australia, "Gossiping" (or giving shit to or about) regarding outright assholes (as in assholes that are proud of it and don't attempt to hide their assholishness publicly) is fine. And perhaps about people you do not know and have never personally met (ie. celebrities, or strangers in general) is probably ok. But generally, people who "gossip" especially frequently about people they know lose reputation and respect quickly from most Australians. This is mostly because we are not a fan of people who "talk behind peoples back" (ie. if you do this to "them", then what is to stop you from doing the same thing to "us"? is a standard Australian perception)... HOWEVER if you are capable of saying that exact same stuff directly to the face of the person in question, that is a completely different story and is potentially even "respect worthy" depending on a few factors. As this is seen as being straight forward and not "beating around the bush" (ie. A show of your honestly and being genuine). So the basic rule is... if you are not willing or able to say "whatever" directly to the face of the person in question, then don't talk shit about them behind their back either. With the 1 single exception to this being your employer/boss (as being able to "tell them what you think of them to their face" is unfortunately not possible if you wish to keep your job)... so no Australian will be bothered about anything you say regarding them. *"Loud Music in public places" is often fine if it is an obvious celebration of something with a large'ish" group of people, or if there is no-one else around when you first crank the music up (even if people arrive to the location later). Otherwise, yeah... we do often go to these places for the "nature sounds" and tranquility. And if people are already in the location and you just rock up and start blasting music... that is a BIG "no no". *"Bringing something when invited to their house" is more in regards to people you have recently met, or do not know very well, or perhaps have not seen for a very long time. Once you are established "mates" however, it is completely optional with absolutely no strings attached. You want to? Cool (very likely it will be opened and shared between you soon after you arrive) You can't be bothered? That's absolutely no problem. Once you're officially "mates" you can't really do anything wrong. *"Not turning up unannounced" is definitely true. However, once again there is the "mate's rule". Once you are established mates (although just knocking on their door unannounced is still very uncool) if you ring up and say "hey mate, just happened to be in your area and thought I might drop in to say hi"... the response will rarely be negative UNLESS they have something important already going on. The only other exception being if it is some kind of emergency or desperate situation... the "mate's rule" means they are unlikely to turn you away or be upset that you just "rocked up unannounced" (in fact, in dire situations they likely are going to be offended that you even thought you couldn't knock on their door). As long as this is not happening all the time or too often or something... it will be fine. *"Regarding not talking about politics or religion". It is not so much that you can't. It is more that if Australians were going to make a list of "most interesting aspects we would be interested in knowing about you as a person"... your politics and religion would be right at the bottom of the list. We just don't deem them to be that important or that interesting compared to talking about virtually ANYTHING else. And if you are one of those people that when talking about those things you start getting loud, aggressive or "preachy" about them... then that is likely going to be the last time you are ever invited to anything with those Australians. But it is not "taboo" or anything. It is more just not very interesting to us compared to ANYTHING else we could be talking about. And AGAIN, the "mates rule" means that you can get into a in depth CIVIL conversation (ie. equal exchange of ideas and perceptions) about either if you feel the need to talk about them.... just don't do it ALL OF THE TIME and it should be fine. *"Littering" generally... and firebugs absolutely (eg. people who deliberately or carelessly light wildfires) are basically considered to be scum by most Australians. We don't like it, we can't respect it... it is guaranteed to bother us. You want to instantly lose respect from all the nearby Australians around you... just throw your trash on the ground or leave it behind in parks or on the beach. You will definitely quickly get your wish. Just carry your trash until you find a bin and dispose of it responsibly and we are all good. *"No Haggling"... This is true in 99% of standard places. However, in some 2nd hand stores or charity stores it can be possible. In some of the larger marketplaces sometimes it is possible. Also things like farmers markets, fetes or "out of city" events or festivals. However, if you are buying either multiple items of the same thing or just an unusually large amount of stuff... negotiating to some limited degree IS possible almost anywhere in Aus (except supermarkets... they DO NOT BUDGE no matter what). Also sometimes you can do things like "haggle" for a better deal with phone companies for plans, or internet companies etc IF you threaten to go to a different provider and are willing to play a little "hard ball" with them... although this is never a quick process and usually takes a bit of effort.

    Aggghhh why didn't I read this or do some research on Argentina before moving here for work, from Oz. Living in Salta la Linda has been a massive culture shock. Born in Byron Bay, lived in Qld, NSW and SA and since I've lived in Dallas TX, Beijing, Shanghai, Ulaanbaatar (and elsewhere) all for work. Punctuality, yep 10 am sharp means 1030 to 1100, I need it today at the latest means possibly next week, social distancing means every morning, every single person in the office does the rounds for a big hug and a kiss (don't even think about what happened after the World Cup) A firm price means plus 30-50% when you go to seal the deal. Argentinians are so proud of Salta, Oh you're so lucky to go live there, but the same people throw their rubbish on the street and mine the footpaths with dog poo. Stop lights/stop signs are optional and let's not get started on speed limits. Having said all that, what a great place to visit or live. Sure there are some HUGE differences but that's what makes life interesting. If you get a chance to visit, do it. BaAs is amazing, especially down the newer parts like Puerto Madero etc, Mendoza, Jujuy, Cordoba and Patagonia are like different countries all rolled into one. People are very forgiving when you mangle their language and the steaks, I thought Oz had that sorted but here is next level. Don David Malbec and Steak, can't go wrong.

    These are primarily common sense, I live in Europe, in Scandinavia to be specific and we like people to be punctual, pick up their own litter, and all these other stuff. We do not appreciate it when you are blasting your music in the park or wherever not even talking loudly on the phone on public transport.

    In these cultural videos nearly all of them use a short video to illustrate a confusing point, such as 2 people talking so I do realise it is something that needs illustrating. But they use situations that use obviously non-Australians. I am at a complete loss why such everyday situations need to be illustrated.

    They are very Australian things (from the British). If you've lived/worked in Europe and Asia, it's not normal to be as polite as Australia. Their language often operates in commands. I lived and studied in Belgium.... I spent the first three months getting so offended by how rude people were, until I realised it was the language "give me the salt!" "Move!" etc. And I equally drove them nuts at times. My host mother kept saying (re my French) "stop saying please and thank you EVERY TIME!". My cousin's wife is Italian and she's had to work so hard with our extra "pleases" and "thank yous". My cousin works in PNG, so their kids speak Italian at home/are really only exposed to Italian language formula and parenting for politeness. And while they're 100% fluent in English/only done their schooling in Australia, they get caught all of the time using their Italian tone and speech patterns in English... and people think they're rude because they use a lot of the European language commands + don't use our excessive pleases and thank yous. It's very obvious to me that while they're Australian citizens, they're politeness and use of English is much more European style. They're lovely kids, but it's clear they haven't been raised by a native speaker or Australian at times. My friend visited from Paris, and was blown away by the politeness. She couldn't stop laughing at me/thought it was so cute that we all listen (or pretend to listen + just make eye contact) to the flight attendants when they do their "safety spiel" before take off. She said in France noone listens or cares and just keep taking over the top of the recording.

    I'm sorry but I will never understand why speaking in other languages could actually mean you're making fun of someone's else. In Latin America there's many people who speak English and I don't see any Latino saying hey speak Spanish, sometimes you just miss that, speaking in your native language is just different from speaking in a second language, I understand that we should speak and learn the language I know that, but that statement reminds me of :this is America, Speak English and not nice . Ps I'm not criticizing Aussies they're cool and nice people , but those statements it could give the wrong idea

    Understandable. What I'm referring to in the video is more context-dependent. If you are just hanging out with mates and speaking in your language at the train station or at a cafe, or at a party and you all speak your language, that's cool. But if you are hanging out with people who don't speak your language in a context such as a workplace, at a meeting, in the lift, or even at lunch, having a conversation in another language in front of them could make some of those people feel uncomfortable or left out, and that's why it's considered rude. But your point is very valid.

    It's not okay, but unfortunately they wouldn't fire you or suspend you from work (e.g for making offensive comments, gossiping, or engaging in discriminatory practices). I find that Australian employers put a lot of emphasis on training around anti-bullying and anti-discrimination policies throughout the whole employee lifecycle, and aim to foster a culture where these kind of behaviours including gossiping are very frowned upon (unlike other countries which is sad but true). Cheers.

    My personal thing: Dont joke about their prison island beginning. I was in Perth airport with my friend (both from France).The costume officer was rude and bit passive agressive towoard us because we are French. He was joking about its not allowed to bring strong smelling chesse from France to Au…He was mocking us the whole time for our accent in English too. However he works of his list of questionnaires one was do you have a criminal record? I responded with a question asking if it was still the law a person need one to get into the country…big mistake he let us wait one hour in line as cv punishment. I hope he learned that we French dont let us get bullied and respond with sacarsme even in a language that isnt our mother tongue …😂😂😂 i must say i do have a bad taste in my mounth because of that when i think of Au😢

    I gotta be honest, here in the US, if someone gets mad when I speak Spanish with my friends, coworkers or my girlfriend, I couldn't care else. They're not owed my words. I was born here, but I'll rip anyone to shreds for saying someone can't speak their own language just because it makes them feel awkward. It really is something that the anglosphere needs to get over imo.
