�ber diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

A small town's worth of Aussies are scattered throughout the USA. By the time the author joined this nebulous village she had been exposed to so much American culture in Australia, she assumed she had America pretty well figured out. Soon enough she found herself stumbling into... the cultural divide. Take this insider's tour of the similarities and differences between the Australian and US cultures. Witness the hilarious incomprehension that occurs between two English-es. Discover why Australians and Americans are not always satisfied with each other's cuisines, and taken aback by each other's eating habits. Unearth the assumptions Australians make about Americans, and the artefacts of Australiana that influence American perceptions of Australia. Delve into the historical and geographic forces that have shaped these two cultures. Aussies, get tips on tipping and other social minefields, and be cheered to find you are not alone! Americans, see your own culture in a new light, and know all this could happen to you in reverse! Everyone else, join us for a fascinating glimpse into the realm of cross-cultural encounters.
