Bit nit-picky…

No doubt no country is perfect, each having their own set of inherent flaws that detract from the overall experience of living there. But let’s be real, when it comes to the micro-isms of living in a country, Australia is already doing a pretty good job. It’s sunny, the people are nice, and no matter what, there’s a distinct air of mateship that you can’t find anywhere else. Yet, 22-year-old Texan backpacker Tristan Kuhn has decided to list all the things he “hates” about Australia, and sure, he’s got some valid points here and there, but the list is super nit-picky to say the least.

So far since arriving in the country last October he’s visited Cairns, Adelaide, Melbourne and Tassie, so he’s seen a decent amount of our beautiful home.

“I’m going over the things this American hates about Australia,” he says in the video. “You know ‘hate’ is a little bit of a strong word but I would say these are the things that I dislike, frustrate or annoy me about Australia.”

The Texan goes on to list all of the flaws he feels inherent to Australia, from slow wi-fi to compulsory helmet wearing to speed cameras and the lack of free refills in a restaurant.

Although at the end he does admit he thinks Australia is a wonderful place and is much better than his home of America in many respects, this list is pesky to say the least. If this is all this bloke can come up with during his stay, I’d say we’ve got it pretty good hey.
