This was surprisingly funny and surprisingly positive for something to do with Americans.

Americans are a very friendly people, all things considered. The whole smiling at everyone you see, helping out strangers for fun thing is not universal. Thus, this post.

My partner is from America, and visited Australia for two weeks to see Me. We spent two weeks going on dates together, visiting cool places like the museum, the zoo, a local pirate bar, an escape room. My partner says Australians are much friendlier than Americans and we smile more.

I could believe it. It's not that it's unique to America, or anything. But like I've read stories about Dutch people for instance thinking Americans on public transportation were simple, due to all the smiling and the like.

There are a lot of 'good cunts' in Aussie, for sure.

Its tricky when grumpy or upset but that's a human thing - often they're better at expressing it

(Bear in mind, this is all coming from a kiwi male - I'm scared of my feelings or expressing stuff generally)

That ending was damn near wholesome. Also I think my favorite part of the whole thing was "the pizza is not negotiable."

it's hard to remember that the average person is a human just like yourself

As a Canadian who owns a truck, I think this may just be a North American thing. I am the guy that is referred to when one says "I know a guy".

In central Europe it's just like "I know a guy with a trailer" or a hitch and you rent a trailer. Or as a last resort or maybe an urban thing, you hire a moving truck and still call upon your friends to load and unload and pay in beer and pizza/döner.

Ignore religion, politics, and hard drugs and this is just normal.
