Correction: I’ve realised this is a family with 4 kids, ie not a family of 4, but a family of 6! Sorry
Crikey You miss counted. Seasonal adjustment. ;)
@@tharsthat😂😂😂
@Ninja_chihuahua 😂😂😂
They have such a superior condescending attitude!
Yes! You nailed it! That’s exactly what it is- so glad it’s not just me!!
I find that as a Canadian tourist, I have a lot in common with Australians. Half my family is there.
Have you been here yet? If not you should come, it’s actually a wonderful place & we’re nice people (unless you’re going to be patronising & make fun of us 😂😂)
The road rules problems just shows how arrogantly they think that what goes in America should be true for everywhere… WRONG.
Precisely! I found that to be so annoying!
Tourists always say crap on you tube about Australia . They always exaggerate everything lol .
It certainly seems to be the pattern doesn’t it!!
I get the impression that nothing is good enough for them
Yeah, I got that same impression!
Tourists need to learn the road rules or pay with devastating results. They also need to learn what indicators are for & how to use them along with roundabouts.
Just so long as we don’t pay with devastating results for their arrogance! They had 4 kids in their car, you’d think that should be adequate reason to want to follow the road rules!!!
There are animals in America that can kill you … doh.
So true!
If they drink starbucks they have never drank proper coffee
So so very true!
@@CheekyKoala They also came across as a couple of Americians that think the whole world is like the US and if it is not it should be
Exactly!
If they do choose to come back they need to open their minds to the reality that it is another country and not just another state of their own country, so some things will be different and perceptions certainly will be different. That’s the whole point of travelling - to experience different cultures, not just seeing new scenery and animals.
It was incredibly irresponsible of them to come to Australia and drive here without having read the Australian Road Rules. It’s online, ffs! Google is your friend. While there are some differences between the road rules in different states, those differences are minor and in general local signage will make clear what the local rules are.
So very true - all of that - I came across a few significant differences in road rules when I moved from Tassie to Victoria - just moving states meant that I needed to make the effort to familiarise myself with the differences - it really was irresponsible of them not to bother with learning our road rules!
7:35 The other day in the smoko room I felt something on my neck. I flicked a spider off. Okay mate you must be the money spider. They are everywhere but most won''t kill you.
THEY TRIED TO ORDER AMERICAN COFFEE THEY GET AT STARBUCKS BUT IN A LOCAL BAKERY (NOT A COFFEE SHOP) BUT BAKERY WOW NOT SURPRISED THE STAFF HAD NO IDEA MAYBE THEY SHOULD HAVE ORDER A MEAT PIE (WITH DEAD HORSE) INSTEAD
I totally agree! And good point about the sauce - meat pies are not as good without sauce (IMO)! ❤️
Queensland being "unique" is a great description...
😂😂😂 I was trying to be diplomatic 😂😂
20:36 Mums stockings can save you from jelly fish.
Good to know!
I also watched these people. I think you are right that they were comparing Australia to America. What I found astonishing was that they knew they were going to a county that drove on the lefthand side of the road and thought that the road rules were the same as in America. If this was me, I would have looked into the road rules of the USA.
With the food, I don't think they would have been happy with any other food than what is available in the USA.
I’d be too nervous to drive in another country without first trying to familiarise myself with the road rules somewhat!
I think you’re right about the food- I kind of got the impression that they wanted to see Australia, but not “experience” Australia- I actually found the way they spoke about meat pies & laughed about them to be quite rude!
With the average USAian bum having grown so large over the last 50 years they have had to make the average baseball seat LARGER to accomodate them This is BECAUSE of their food and NO this is not made up and can be fact checked.
12:41 From a truck it is left blinker left. No blinker straight through. Right blinker for a right turn and left blinker off the round about. Maybe a U turn.
That’s a far more logical explanation! - I think my brain froze from trying to follow her explanation!
14:10 I get this I get asked how I want it? Cooked. They get picky in the city. I walked into a place in Brisbane. I said what is on the menu. She was a Kiwi chick. She said food. I said sounds great I will have some of that.
😂😂😂
21:17 lay on your back and skull. don't move just float and wait to get recovered. If you move you make excitement.
I’m having images in my head now of this couple lying on their backs in the middle of the street in QLD waiting to be rescued 😂😂😂
10:12 Most Australians don't understand the rules. The indications at roundabouts. A big one is when they park they keep their driving lights on if you park then fall back to parking lights. They are parked and then flip the high beam when you are coming on. If you are parked avert your eyes you are parked. Most people don't know how to drive.
It certainly seems that way these days! I was taught to drive by a British driving instructor who was very much all about correct road rules, driving etiquette etc, I’m often amazed by the ignorance of some other drivers on the road!
What a pair of wombats 😅
Totally 😂😂
@davidlaw233
Please don't compare them to wombats, that's an insult to our wildlife!!
😂😂😂😂
17:48 nah cream is cream. I had an IndiaN BLOKE MAKE HIS TEA AND IT WAS SWEET AS . It is tea but then sugar and herbs. Much sweeter than I have my Australian tea.
I can’t quite manage to appreciate tea with herbs in it - tried it, but it just didn’t taste good to me, I guess it’s about what you’re used to!
As an Englishman I have to say it's a shame to see my kids fighting like this😋
😂😂😂
Some meat pies are crook, most aint and it's obvious they didnt get good ones. As to if they don't like the place.fuck em. I like it!
Either they had bad pies or they just didn’t like them because they weren’t American food…. & yep - we don’t need them to like Australia 😂😂
well said, i hope they don't come back before they learn the road rules first though
Exactly!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 hahaha savage, they haven't even complained yet . . . yes Queensland sucks that is gold.
😂😂😂❤️
just proves how soft Americans have become
True! Well some of them at least!
They didn't say it was a cool drink, they were just being nice to the crazy american.
Exactly!! That’s what I thought also!
Geeze flogging the Queenslanders.
Oops!
23:31 Spot on
❤️
Yep I'm in
❤️
@@CheekyKoala Nice
Because we dont over drink and over eat
Too true!!! ❤️
MERICA!
❤️
That couple should not travel, anywhere.
So so true!!
Didn't anyone tell them Starchucks don't do coffee. As for all or any of their criticisms......ha! so what ? We can & continue quite nicely without them,thank you.
Yep - so very true! 😂😂
And “starchucks” - brilliant 😂😂😂😂
Only weird people don't like meat pies 😕 what part of stop don't you get 😒 it's a red light for God sakes 😮
YES!!!!! ❤️
Okay so they didn't like it. No reason to be offended.
I wouldn’t be offended by them not liking things here in Australia, it was more to do with the way they came across that I found to be a little offensive ❤️
You want to see what they say about Scotland ,,,,,,
Oh dear - were they not so kind? They struck me as the type who would think that anywhere that wasn’t America wouldn’t be good enough…
I had a look at all their videos . I couldn’t find one about Scotland. I could be wrong, as it’s after 11pm and old ladies should be in bed by now or our/ my brains turn to mush 😂
Also noticed last vid posted was a year ago.
It’s natural other countries ways and food will be different, but other tourists, my favourites The One Pack Wanderers also from America , find some things very different but don’t complain, usually smile, no always smile lol. And they love our coffee and meat pies lol 😊
who invited them ?
Clearly they invited themselves- I’d imagine that they don’t have any Australian friends
Who gives a stuff about MAGA potential people !
😂😂
well said, i hope they don't come back before they learn the road rules first though
