My experience (“notes”) as a Canadian living in Australia so far.

PROS & CONS Notes list

• Sydney has more to do overall, more activities, the city gives "back" to you more than Vancouver. Example, this night I saw the New Years fireworks. In Vancouver our New Years fireworks repeatedly had been cancelled. I also noticed so much more interaction inner city, events, etc. While Vancouver it's dull, and too much of a drug crisis.

• Aggressive drivers in Sydney. Too many people drive here like assholes. Not a fan. I do miss the Canadian hospitality when it comes to driving. Most people are passive, and won't try to plow you down. Sydney drivers think they're the main character with heaps of road rage.

• Better food in Sydney. I mean Vancouver had some good spots but the food in Sydney is way more higher class.

• Working Cutlure is slightly weird in Sydney. As in, you don't have to work "as" hard as you do in Canada, seems like half arsing is acceptable, while in Canada it is not and you rarely benefit.

• Too much "me, me, me" main character thinking with Australians. Canadians are more passive, but very flakey and fake. Aussies are straight forward but really love to talk about themselves. This one is neutral imo, both cities don't have "better" although at least Aussies actually chat more to you.

• Tolls. Beyond stupid, I'm sorry, same with private busses. Too many not so pleasant bus drivers, in Canada our bus drivers are the chillest and very respectful.

• Better public transport.

• Same prices in living, just depends some stuff cheaper in Aus, while others in CAD.

• Way more attractive people here. I feel like I'm a 3/10 in Canada. Here I'm like a -7/10 so I'm definitely gonna be single forever. I can't compete with other women that look like they need to be on a runway model.

• Mullets. Sorry but this is atrocious.
