One thing this joint ain't, is, Socialist. It's still run by a bunch of clowns like a f@cking penal colony. With probably less privacy laws than the US.
We might even let you become an Austronaut!!
Your colleagues will be friendly to you. It's casually racist place, even for white people, worse if you are 'of middle eastern appearance', asian or a native. You won't get shot by police during a routine traffic stop.
PS Live your life the way you want. If you want to have a go, come over and try it. Looking through a different set of lenses can make this place what you like. Especially if the girl is worth it. For the rest of us here, familiarity breeds contempt. You can always go back to the US if it goes bad. Plan on AUD$10,000 to apply for permanent residency.
PSS If you get here, and you end up flying, whatever you do, do not bust a CTA step.
