Apart from the barrels thing and the wine country stuff the thing that stands out to me about SA is that I watched an Australian historical building restoration show and almost every episode was a couple in akubras talking about spending 900k to renovate a tiny mud shack in the absolute desolate armpit of South australia

They'd always say 'a lot of history in this land' and they're technically correct but I can't help but think that what they mean is 'lotta black fellas got murdered round here'

I think you've mentioned before and I can't say you're in the slightest bit wrong, especially about the black people gettin murdered still there's some nice beaches no one else has heard about in the arse end of nowhere and with cheap accommodation that I vaguely remember going to once and I like the idea of going to without my mum

The soldier settlers of the wimmera and mallee regions spent all day shooting or cutting down every living thing in their posession and all night drunkenly screaming at german ghosts. Outside the irrigated areas its a sandy, featureless hellscape.

how fuckin poo poo are terrace houses I mean im sure they are lovely when you buy one for 1.2m then gut it and renovate it spending close to another 500k but when they are bought and rented out for $900/wk complete with period-correct black mold and water damage they are fuckin poo poo

I love to spend 1.7 million dollars on a home the size of a semi trailer, included bike + bike lock rusted to the fence that divides the chipped concrete porch from the 80cm wide pavement that's regularly used as a urinal. This is better than a high-rise or apartment block because,

An important lesson to learn is that taste does not scale with wealth. You can see brands bend to the tacky masses in slow motion as Mercedes / AMGs start getting yellow stripes and chunky spoilers, and the logos on "designer" brands get larger and flashier. No matter the context, gotta be as flashy as possible.

It's amazing how anyone can watch those shows and not want to beat the complete poo poo out of the assholes doing it. Every episode is some bumbling fuckhead that's never swung a hammer in their life paying shitloads of money they either didn't earn or fell rear end backwards into to have some ugly rear end architectural monolith built or some lovey old building completely sterilised of all charm and character but they won't stop banging on about the rich history of the place as they throw all the layers of lead paint and wall paper into the skip bin. Then they act underwhelmed at the reveal like total cunts.

well why not posted:An important lesson to learn is that taste does not scale with wealth.

No matter the context, gotta be as flashy as possible. BMWs suvs that are covered in extra badges from the factory and are fwd only to appease Chinese buyers intent on conspicuous consumption and nothing else are a fantastic example. BMWs have always been about the driving experience right up until all that Chinese upper middle class money started rolling in now they're building lifted corollas that drive like fridges and have like 90% profit.

The pendulum swing away from cashed up euro dads who wanted "sport purity" (in a four door) coinciding with the Golf (and other competitors) getting really good was probably pretty alarming for them.

Ghost Leviathan posted:Should I just consider Adelaide and SA in general to be bizarro world as Australia goes or what Basically, yes. You order a schooner, you get a middy, you pay a schooner price. You order a pint, you get a schooner, you pay a pint price. If you want an actual metric pint, they look at you like you're an rear end in a top hat. Alternatively, you'll never taste a better Coopers.
