The difference's are huge, In Australia they make us all here very focused on education and active involvement in sport.
Also we are very career and business minded and all have had further higher education training.
There is very low to no crime or guns and children still play out doors and most people here prefer to be mainly all out doors socializing with there mates. The school curriculum system here is the highest in the world and it's a good place to raise children.
At 18 in Australia your a legal adult and can drink in bars and go to night clubs, vote, buy a house or business etc
People in Australia don't care or are opinionated by religion or politics or what someone on TV said. So you don't ever see religious people accosting people in public places or have people begging for money.
I live in Sydney in the CBD it's a very 24/7 lifestyle here with a very large range of things to see and do, being a world class city and there is no city on Earth like it, with worldwide known restaurants and cafe's, think of any country in the world there is a restaurant or cafe that caters for any countries cuisine.
Americans who come here really get blown away and migrate here like I did. The economy is very strong and the standard of living is very high there is very low unemployment heaps of business opportunity's. The minimum wages here are triple times more than the US minimum wage plus the benefits of paid superannuation, shift penalties and loading plus 10 days paid sick leave and five weeks paid holidays a year.
Women get paid maternity leave also a $5,000 baby bonus if having a child. It doesn't cost a cent to see a doctor or go into hospital or dentist they are free. Just like a 24/7 emergency doctor coming to your home.
We have many more freedoms here than in the United States also anti discrimination laws and same rights for all people and a very good legal system. Police here are friendly and helpful they don't point guns at people.
Australian fashion is world known we do dress up very classy and smart casual ,so you never see cargo pants or polo shirts or tented tee shirts unless they are tourists. Most every well known American actor, actress or singer all comes here to clothes shop as well many other known high profile overseas entertainers. So you see people like Paris Hilton, Ricki Lake, Mariah Carey, Celine Dion, Dianna Ross, Janet Jackson etc shopping here. They love it here because were no one ever bothers them, most are here now for Australian fashion week.
There are no ghettos or people living in trailer parks here or in low standard housing. There are a lot of weekend getaway's or family holiday resorts. You can go to the beaches or to the mountains, camping, or pack the car to go skiing or jump on a plane for a weekend interstate or to New Zealand. No where is crowded here. People are more laid back and everyone looks healthy, tanned and fit and speaks English.
The only Americanisms here would be fast food outlets like Mc Donald's, Hungry Jacks, Pizza Hut, KFC, Gloria Jeans, but there not really popular as the cafe's also the American shows on TV.
Otherwise you notice the big difference here in culture's as Australians aren't stressed out and don't act or think or ever materialistic brag of our wealth or stereotype people we use our freedoms of speech to improve and make life better in our country. Also we have a very good Prime Minister and Government in our free society.
Most American's don't realize how big Australia is it's just a little bigger than the USA and the state I live in NSW is twice the size the state of Texas and there are just only 20 million people living in all of Australia. There is 303 million people all living on the same land mass in the USA.
For a country with such a small population we have many well world know actors, actress's, music artist, artists, building and clothes designers, doctors, scientists, inventors, sports people as well as known world wide companies and financial businesses.

what is the best island to stay on in the hawaiian islands.. for only one week.?

Answer
Oahu will offer you all the stuff you want to see you just have to get out and explore!
I am a nature nut and Hawaii is a great place to enjoy our beautiful planet! I put this together earlier but wanted to share it with you because there are some things here that will help you out! Hawaii is definitely worth it! I just can't get enough of that place! I have been 6 times and I have found enough on Oahu to do that I haven't even ventured out to the other islands yet! Here are some things in Waikiki and around the island to do; Dukes is def cool and right on the beach, and if you want to dance you can head over to Scruples. If you like to drink then do it in your room cause it is way way to expensive at the clubs. I suggest going to one of the 50+ ABC stores and grabbing your alcohol there for much cheaper! There is a ton of eating places down on the strip but the real Hawaii is out of town. Take the bus or drive up to manoa valley and experience the rainforest and a natural waterfall! Take a trip to the north shore and go to Waimaia Valley and see some of the most spectacular fauna anywhere! If you adventurous hike along the ridges and see paradise from 4000 feet! I did that and loved every second of it..Ok well it was more like 8 hours of it but anyway..lol. This link will take you to a site with very detailed info on hiking trails http://www.hawaiitrails.org/ Diving and snorkeling are pretty awesome too! Hanuama bay is touristy and with good reason. You are guaranteed to see tons of fish and have a nice afternoon at a beautiful beach! Diving can be done just off shore and runs around 100 bucks for 2 tanks and you don't need to be experienced. Not far out of town you can jet ski or parasail. Wouldn't really bother with the jet skiing because they have too many rules in Hawaii but the parasailing is something you should at least try once. After that it gets kind of boring. In town the international market place is def cool and worth strolling through...a tip..go to all the kiosks and then go back and don't be afraid to barter..that's how it works there! On the weekend a really cool thing to do it go to aloha stadium for a huge flea market!!! I mean huge the tents go all around the stadium and everything you find for souvenirs in Waikiki you will find there for way I mean way cheaper!! Oh one last thing, you have to go to a Luau and the Paradise Cove Luau is the best. oh crap...just thought of something else that will help you out. Go to www.Entertaiment.com and buy the book for Hawaii and it will give you so many discount coupons it will pay for it self right away. I did and it worked great. I just found another site that has coupons that you can print off the web so check this one out too http://www.ecouponshawaii.com/. Don't forget that part..really do it and you won't be sorry. Many 2-1 coupons on dinners in the Entertainment Book. Waikiki is is really expensive so anytime you can save money itâs a good thing. I have been to Hawaii 6 times now and would love to live there. I hope you make it because you won't forget it! Aloha!

Makiki Heights drive - Tourists don't find this gem and it's amazing! MUST SEE. Check your map to get to Makiki Heights. Great views of the island
Restaurants: There are tons of restaurants in Waikiki. If you are young and like to drink then drink b/4 you go out! The Pacific Beach Hotel has drink specials all week long and there a good deal. There are Mai Tai specials all over but DIXIES has the screamin Mai TAi which comes in a 32 oz glass and is about 6 bucks!!! Good Eats there too! For cheaper eats go outside of town over towards the Kaneohe side. If you do want to eat in Waikiki then I would highly recommend that you go to www.entertainment.com and buy the book for Hawaii. This coupon book will save you a ton on the island! Seriously every time I go I get the book and use all the 2-1 deals in it! Check ebay for it too sometimes you can get it dirt cheap!
Hotels; Best hotel for the money is the Ocean Resort Hotel on the east end of the strip. Very close to the beach, decent rooms, service is good and you will pay under a 100 a night for most rooms and the parking is much cheaper than the other hotels. Most parking isnât included in the cost of your hotel and can be as high as 17$ per day to park. At the Ocean Resort they have limited parking but you can park across the street for 5$/day!
