Never understood the Krispy kreme thing. Should't i get skinnier just typing that?

You might be surprised at how 'american' some of our culture has become.

Thankfully we've managed to stay very Australian in the main though, which is important for the national identity. I listen to the kids though and it's clear our culture is becoming very homogenised which bothers me somewhat, simply because we're not american. On the flip side, some traditions which signify being australian are growing which is nice to see.

Did you have a fresh hot one when the hot sign was on?

Old Motels, the endless cornfields and freeways that just disappear into the haze of the horizon...

We have that, although you'd probably swap the corn for wheat (or barley or cotton...)

I am really curious about the Amish lifestyle. I don't believe we have those communities here.

Plenty of hippies though. And beach bums and bludgers. We even have our very own special kind of trailer trash type people. Sometimes they actually live in houses, but they usually wreck them.

I have no idea what Aussies drink.

Oh, I was thinking you meant the swill you get a fast food joints, or even the coffee you get in the cans at grocery stores...like Folgers. Cuz that stuff is bad.
