a friend of mine went backpacking in australia and spent 8 weeks in wollongong for some reason, probably because he thought the name sounded funny

he doesn't talk about what happened there other than that he called some american guy a ginger oval office for stealing his kebab or something and was later attacked by said ginger oval office, which ended up with both of them going to hospital.

wollongong sounds like a city of dreams

It takes time to fully immerse yourself in the local culture. Your friend lived like a local - even if only for a few weeks.

Wollongong has nice beaches. So does everywhere on the coast but you've got to pick somewhere eventually.

Seppos are unable to handle musk sticks. They almost universally complain that they taste of perfume.

They do taste like perfume but you should have grown up with them in the lolly bag sold by the tuck shop at the sports oval and thus have a fond memory of those pink atrocities.

this lead me down a path in which i learned that some australians call them "bush chooks"

We have bush chooks, bush turkeys, bin chickens. Australia has it all.

It should be noted that Cosmic Psychos saw someone wearing one of their shirts at a Nazi rally and told them to gently caress off, destroy the shirt and never come to a gig again. They're ok.

I grew up drinking VB so I think it's alright.
It is one of those beers that tastes really different every time you drink it which is a bit of a worry. It's very temperature sensitive I guess.

Super cold vb on tap with your mates watching the footy is how to drink it. The atmosphere is required to get it over the line.

Of course a vb long neck for breakfast riding shotgun in your mates truck is acceptable too.

It boggles my mind when people go to the Ekka here. I went once and it was awful. Just the worst.

Also every time it's on there's a bunch of stories about "mysterious outbreaks of flu/illness". Gee, I wonder if cramming a bunch of people into that place is a bad idea?

Also literally every person says they go mainly for the bags. Just get a plastic bag and fill it with good sweets!

You go for the wood chopping, to see the ducklings going down the water slide and to watch the v8 stunt drivers nearly hit each other as the drive really fast in patterns.

Speaking of the Melbourne Showgrounds, some of the best entertainment you can ever witness is when racing day at Flemington Racecourse coincides with something pop-culture or anime going at the Showgrounds.

Picture a bunch of people in their fancy expensive racing clothes, having to share a special-route train with cosplayers and wondering just what the gently caress is going on around them the entire trip. It's hilarious :allears:.

The image of the dressed up woman with her shoes in her hand sitting next to a weeb must be a sight to behold.

What you're missing is the kind of people who go to Flemington Racecourse toffed to the nines with fancy hats and outfits for Race Day typically have zero frame of reference for any kind of pop culture at all. Not even the mainstream stuff like, say, Game of Thrones or Star Wars. So you get to see groups of all these extremely-rich expensively-dressed typically-older folk trying to mentally parse just what the gently caress is going on around them with cosplayers from random videogames, movies and sci-fi series throughout the train they're sharing.

Oh, I figured it was like Randwick. An excuse for young rich fuckstains to go do too much coke and booze. Still all dressed up with the fascinators and all. Just to drunk to manage heels at the end so also barefoot with shoes in hand. It's not really an older crowd at Randwick though.
