Australia is so expensive - Dallas Dance Music - Dallas nightlife, music, tickets, and more

God everything is fucking expensive here. That's my biggest culture shock at the moment.

Booze costs twice as much here.
A combo of Bed Head shampoo and conditioner from Toni&Guy costs $52 vs $20 for the U.S.
A Hungry Jack's combo costs AU$8 for what you essentially get is a small burger and a small drink (Hungry Jack's = Burger King)
Petrol is much more expensive here than in America (yet whiny cunts in America have the gall to bitch about what is the cheapest petrol in the developed world)
Internet is a ripoff at this complex that I'm living in - $40 a month for 512k download and 60 for 1mbps download
Hair straighteners are more expensive here
Clothes cost twice as much here

Oh, and I'm sick of meeting other Americans here. If I wanted to meet other Americans, I'd stay in America for that purpose. Fuck that noise.

Are you a chick?

I can see a lot of those expenses being trimmed.

And how's your employment situation down there?

Which city are you staying in? I hope you don't mind me harassing you with questions about Australia as I'm thinking about going there in the next few years.

Edit: Not a chick so you can do w/out that Tony and Guy bullshit. Go for a cheaper alternative, yo.

Not a chick, sorry lol

I need to create a CV so I can start applying for jobs here.

I'm in Sydney in a suburb called Marsfield. I'm currently studying at Macquarie University for the semester.

Don't mind the questions at all mate, post away.

Cheers.

So, you'll just stay in Australia and bitch about Americans and Aussi prices. Brilliant.

i can understand Dallas products (Tony & Guy) being twice as much on the complete opposite end of the entire world.

They eat prawns down under. And it's winter time so I don't think they'll be throwing ANYTHING on the grill. But then again, they might.

How did you get money to go to school there? I was looking at the Australian institute of technology and had no idea if I would do a FAFSA or what to get loans for school

Oscuro · 07-31-08, 07:16 PM

I'm sorry Pepe, but this is the gayest rant of all time.

Lots of Cambodians and Vietnamese in Australia.

Hell, our aunt is over the ocean in New Zealand.

Toni & Guy isn't based in Dallas, FYI.
