Australia Day is basically the 4th of July, just in Australian summer. The only difference really is that they some how include green and yellow into their wardrobe and wear less stars and british stripes…if you get what I'm saying. Most people just BBQ and drink all day, what is to hate about that.
I did not get the full independence story surrounding this day for a couple reasons, main one being I only hung out with foreign people. It is amazing that while being here I have found myself with a plethora of great people, just majority being non-native Australians: French, Italian, Italian Swiss, Jordanian, South African and even Canadian. My Australia day consisted of speaking some weird hybrid of French, Italian and English (not very patriotic). It is amazing that so many foreign people have found themselves loving Australia so much that they stay. I guess it just calls to some people.
like i said before, there will be some blue buckaroos around here if you decide to become one of these foreigners that love australia so much that they stay.
