1 Subculture in Australia

Subculture that consists of: people that go to fairs, festivals and

raves all of the time. One of the more famous festivals is called

StereoSonic. These same people speak a lot of slang

that doesn’t have real meaning per say, but people understand.

Current Events

In Russia, thousands are protesting against the presidential election results. They accuse Vladamir Putin of stealing the vote. At least 15%.

Australians are making their Muslim veil laws more strict. They have to remove veils to have their signatures officially witnessed.

Russia

With Russia’s culture, it interested me that 80% of Russia’s exports consisted of oil, natural gases, metals and timber.

I like that they value open-heartedness and hospitality.

I dislike that they complain about their problems.

Australia

I find Australia’s subcultures and people in general to be very interesting.

I like their subculture’s. I dislike how tolerant they are because

that isn’t always good.

Living in Russia or Australia?

I stand neutral with living in Russia. Mainly because I like America 10x more but I do like the cold.

I would like to live in Australia because they are extremely laid back and the people just seem easy to get along with.

My Own Culture

I prefer living in my own country because I am used to it and it’s better than every other country out there. Although, I do like Australia a lot and would love to visit the country. I just wouldn’t want to live there.
