12. Australian here. Everyone thinks it’s as dangerous as f**k, that spiders, drop bears, snakes, feral cats and dogs will rip ya heart out every time you step out the door. The truth is that unless you act like a halfwit, poke said snake/spider with ya finger then you’ll be fine. Battle echidna, dervish spiders, saltwater crocodiles, and drop bears don’t live in suburbia; you need to go into the bush to even see a lizard which usually promptly fucks off the moment a stone footed oompah Loompa waddles past.

13. That we roam around with wild animals like lions and rhinos, have no cities, and thus live in huts, and that we’re all poor and malnourished.

14. I had to tell my little cousins in the UK that No, unfortunately, we don’t ride Kangaroos to school and work every day!

15. Iceland was not named as part of some conspiracy to keep folks away from a good thing. The name comes from the fact that early settlers arrived during summer and then suffered horrible losses of livestock and people once winter hit and icebergs were seen filling the fjords. It was more of a warning than anything, that this place sucked. Greenland on the other hand was probably named as such to make it sound more hospitable.

20. That everyone still harbors resentment against Americans. Or the French. Or the Japanese. Or.. (you get the point).
I’ve actually never met anyone here who held such grudges. It’s pretty inspiring, actually. Probably I can learn a lot from that.
