    Reflections on Australia and NZ

    8 gennaio 2023, Nuova Zelanda ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C

    Up till now I have posted reflections on Africa, India and Japan, all of which are so different from home that I had a lot to say. Australia and NZ are a little different. In many ways they are so familiar, language, culture ( more or less), shops, sports,etc. The big differences are climate, nature and remoteness. Flo summed it up well, "Sydney is like London, but with a beach and better weather". I could paraphrase fir NZ, that it's like a milder version of Scotland with a greater variety of nature and bigger trees.

    Also, they are welcoming and they offer opportunities for young people, with slightly less competition than in Europe .

    My summary, I could comfortably live in Australia, definitely Sydney, definitely not Darwin & Alice ( depressing social problems) but I think the remoteness of the country would get to me after a while . NZ the same but colder.

    Oh and both countries need to grow a pair of balls, and get new flags. The colonial rags are pathetic.

    EzyianThat's a less serious issue I agree, but I think the Brits ignore and understate the negative impact of colonialism. Here it's more about having a clearer national identity

    ViaggiatoreWell, when it comes to ignoring colonial history you certainly have a point
