TL;DR - Australia vs Korea

[@dadadacrazy]

Travel guide to Australia for Simon and Martina: 1) Internet will continue to be crap for another decade or so. I suggest investing in a carrier pigeon for effective, long-distance communication. 2) Our coffee culture is confusing and admittedly uses some strange terms, but it is also rich in flavour and origin. Australia has a large population of European immigrants and so our coffee culture has a lot of Italian and Turkish influence. 3) Some post-6pm activities you can engage in are - food; food; food...and more food. Australia has a MAJOR restaurant culture and we have great food from all different types of cuisines. You guys should definitely indulge in Thai, Vietnamese, Lebanese and Italian cuisine when you're here. It's truly indulgent and mouth-watering. 4) Yes, we all lift. Yes, it's because there's nothing to do after 6pm but eat and exercise (which is probably why all the guys are jacked). I suggest you do go running when you're here as we have some really picturesque running routes in the Bay areas (Sydney). Love from a Native Sydney-sider :)

[@wudzlolz]

I'm a native Western Sydneysider! ;) Proud westie!

[@dadadacrazy]

wudzlolz omg I'm a south-west sydneysider! WOO! #westisbest :D

[@libbyellery3965]

Well I'm an actual proud westie I live in perth :)

[@Skystarry75]

Running along the Brisbane river or along the coast of Morton Bay is pretty good too... Except in summer when it's so hot you'd probably melt... Like, right now... No, seriously, it's like 30 degrees outside and so humid that your sweat does nothing to cool you down.

[@Skystarry75]

Tridi Rox Have you been to Korea? They're used to the FASTEST internet in the world. There are LOADS of countries that have faster internet speeds than us too! Plus, you're right next to the Australian internet hub, so of course it's going to be faster!

[@TheEntelexia]

Sex bar is a gay term. Its a reference to the common occurrence of gay males 'cruising' for sex in public toilets.

[@mattharvey1988]

alright this might clean up the sex bar thing aussies sometimes don't put ah a lot of thought into what they say they just try to convey meaning with tone dont ask me how it works just does

[@animecat889]

the speed of our internet is one thing that drives me insane

[@SableRain]

+Animecat889 I moved from America to Australia 2 years ago, and yes, your internet drives me absolutely insane too. :(

[@animecat889]

omg why dude!? I want to get out asap

[@SableRain]

Animecat889 My husband is Australian.

[@animecat889]

ohh I see :) its's nice you moved for him haha sorry didn't mean to come off as rude

[@SableRain]

Animecat889 I took it as joking, not being rude, so don't worry. :3

[@vukovlahovic8970]

I'm from Australia, and I laughed my ass off pretty much throughout this whole video! You guys are the best! :)

[@LifeOfPia]

Come to Perth! :) I'm heading to Korea in April and instead of reading tripadvisor, I'm watching your videos...mound better not lead , me astray ;)

[@callmewaves1160]

"it's not a sex bar!" = "stop fucking around in there!" also... it's melbourne, so there would be a lot of buff and attractive because you gotta keep up appearances lol so snooty there. Also, I recommend visiting adelaide during march because there's a lot of art related stuff going on, art and music type festival stuff. It's all pretty cool.

[@GummyBears580]

Next time you go to Australia, try vegemite. But PLEASE don't cake it on the bread/toast like other people, you have to put butter on as well, and put on a moderate amount of vegemite. Someone from Australia really needs to do a video showing Canadians/Americans/etc. how to put vegemite on toast.

[@frankblackcrow8116]

I used to like vegemite when I was a kid, but now I'm older it makes me chuck my guts up. I have seen some other vid's where they tell ppl to try it and most dont have a good time tryng it, it's one thing that shouldn't be recomended by anyone,,lmao

[@wudzlolz]

just try the vegemite like the other flavours.

[@twistedshapeshifter]

dude i eat vegemite straight from the jar with a spoon dont be a pansy and cake that sucker on!

[@TheSavdogg]

Purple Pandicorn Yeah I think the ideal is to have way more butter than bread (or crumpet - vegemite and butter is awesome on crumpets!). Although in saying that like QueenEtna my younger sister used to just eat vegemite straight from those tubey things you could get it in...I'm with the majority though, with vegemite the golden rule is always LESS IS MORE.

[@Nightingale_time]

Purple Pandicorn I know I did it wrong, but I had some American friends try a tiny drop on a spoon--just for laughs. The reactions were amazing!!!!!

[@SpikePuppet]

Hahaha OMG guys this is amazing. I'm an aussie and watching this, and its absolutely gold, and the sex bar line made me laugh so hard. Good work :D In regards to the internet thought, your right about your roaming packages. The net is a lot better if you use it in hotels or Internet cafes or have phone data plans. Our download speed is pretty good but our upload speed is terrible. Also you can get iced coffee with just ice, it just depends on where you are. Oh and shops do stay open later on Thursdays usually. Though if your near a place called Strathfield (its in Sydney) shops there are usually open pretty late. Seriously though I'm glad you guys enjoyed it here, hope to have you back soon :D

[@HumanoidSparky]

About Australian coffee culture: Aussie coffee is awesome, but Americano's are not a thing here. A long black is the closest you'll get to one, and it's one shot coffee to two shots hot water. A short black is one shot coffee and one shot coffee and one shot hot water. If you're coming to Melbourne, which has one of the best coffee cultures in the world, getting a short or long black is a total waste. You've GOT to get a single origin roasted latte, or a brew if you're into black coffee. Also, wtf are you doing in Starbucks?! That place is awful! You've got to go to Hardware Lane or one of the side-street cafe's to get a decent coffee!

[@adamholczer]

Coffee culture is big in Sydney. Original northern beaches kid and coffee snob :( There is definitely a different term for your cup compared to USA and Korea. It goes by mainly Italian terms such as; cappuccino (Everyone knows this one), latte (Creamy milk), mocha (Chocolate), flat white (cappuccino without the froth), short black/espresso, long black (double shot), macchiato (short black with a little bit of milk), Piccolo (macchiato with more milk. Like a small latte). These are the most common ones.

[@hanahaha5737]

ok.dat is so different. thanx 4 f info

[@hanahaha5737]

*thanx 4 d info

[@bec_r_r]

I think the random angry in Australia guy was angry because he is used to waiting for his webpage to load but not used to waiting for a cubicle to unload (as it were).

[@shaqaeqrezai5875]

no it's cuz he was busting also our Internet is not slow it was cuz of the type of data they were using as they mentioned get some education

[@CadenceTheSloth]

calm down lmao

[@Skystarry75]

My younger brother is about as tall, if not taller than Simon, and he's only just entering Grade 10. I do know a few short Aussies, but I also know a lot of tall ones... I'm a little taller than average personally, but I'm the shortest kid in my family. Also, aren't those orange yolks normal? Is it seriously an Australian thing? Also, our internet speed is... Terrible... We know this... We just put up with it...

[@beatzxxx8616]

Skystarry75 lol my brothers in 9th grade and his taller than most adults its the nutella....

[@hanahaha5737]

+beatz xxx wakaka.ur nutella got me >.

[@beatzxxx8616]

Hana Haha lol yeah

[@yellow9321]

+Skystarry75 Streaming must suck.

[@Skystarry75]

Monkey D. Luffy Yeah... We're so used to thing needing to load we don't even care. I don't know what it's like to have faster internet as I've never actually been outside Australia, but, from what I can understand, Australia's internet sucks.

[@sabrinarsln]

Shops close at 5pm everyday in Australia. Every Thursday we have late night in shopping centres till 9pm and every Friday is late night in the city till 9pm. I'm living in Perth for 3 years now and it's sort of like wanting to spend more time with the family, especially for working parents. When my family first moved here, we were so used to having shops close really late at night in Singapore that we were shocked that shops closed on Sundays too.

[@Amaterasux3]

I'm from Australia and I agree that it kind of sucks to have the shops close around 6pm but usually major retail outlets such as kmart and myers in the city would have longer trading hours, also pointing out that we have a thing called 'late night' where most shops generally stay open until 9pm on thursdays (which is very convenient!). Usually in the city there are heaps of active and lively people but in suburban areas there's none of that!

[@StefaniSompie]

Please come to PERTH!! Please please please!!

[@GHam-f9o]

Drinking game: take a shot every time Simon says HOOOOOOLY SMOKES

[@woahXgirl94]

half flush is for pee, because it conserves water and you need less, full is for.. yeah so half flush isn't as strong as regular american, canadian etc flushes. We don't have sex bars? :s Honestly, aha. I think he might think you were getting something sexual

[@dtduong]

I would love to live in Australia. Totally in love with the Australian accents, culture, and the wonderful places to visit. I'm huge on fitness, so that is definitely a bonus with the fitness part. There must be many beautiful places that are perfect for running. :)

[@lugosi213]

Yeah I live here, I'm a full Aussie! You should come here and live here because it's a beautiful place

[@dtduong]

I bet! It would be awesome if I could even at least visit.

[@VirtualWonderBoy]

Australia is the best place to live. Though if you do come to visit you'd probably be thinking of the great, fresh food and staying alive after daily kangaroo and drop bear attacks. We gotta keep our fitness up to defend ourselves.

[@SilverRadiant]

LAUGHED/CRIED SO HARD! ''It's not a sex bar, it's a f*cking toilet.'' sounds so aussie of us ;P

[@PlaidBlackHawk]

Brisbane is a lot more quiet than Sydney. Less populated that is.

[@katrinawall4315]

Things I thought while watching this: Our internet is slow? Like I know that things don't load in a second but I always just assumed it was like that everywhere? 6pm is early for stores to close? Most retail shops close at 6 but on Thursdays they close a few hours later because of late night.

[@dramaqale12]

In north america, retail stores and restaurants close at 9, 10, or 11, except maybe on Sundays. Maybe.

[@kevinsean1520]

Katrina Wall 6 pm is waaaaaayyyyyy too early for stores to close.. In Indonesia, shopping malls open from 9 am to 9-10 pm and sometimes we even have midnight sales (which I never see here in Melbourne) where the shopping mall will open until like 2 am.. Restaurants usually open from 8-9 am till 10 pm and cafes will open till midnight or even later.. But, Indonesian internet is like 5x slower than Aussie's..

[@katrinawall4315]

I'm usually in Sydney, and most stores close around that time, except for the usual Kmart, target, woolworths, etc, but I'm on holidays in Queensland right now and every store closes at 6pm? Like everything except maybe fast food shops and petrol stations. I went to buy dinner and everything was closed like wtf.

[@PinkPoodleCrafts]

Katrina Wall you guys have woolworths? Wow all of ours in the US closed down years ago. I worked at one a long time ago, it was one of the last remaining here in the US. Sorry, that just brought back flasbacks. Does your woolworths have a lunch counter (restaurant) in it?

[@katrinawall4315]

Nah we don't have lunch counters but they're usually in shopping centres do there's always another food shop around

[@ZeldaPotterFlareon]

I think you should come to Adelaide

[@eatyourkimchi]

I agree!

[@chelseahayes8706]

I COMPLETELY AGREE!!!

[@andresabad6247]

Eat Your Kimchi my best regards from peru

[@andresabad6247]

ZeldaPotterFlareon if it weren't by you i would have never known that iced coffee in australia one of my list of countries that i'd like to visit someday is coffee ice cream

[@kyun701]

+mademoisellechaton wth, That's a normal thing to say

[@mangolovefahrenheit]

LOL!! Simon and Martina, I'm in Aussie and I watch every one of your videos! Strange enough, KZbin is really fast here, despite every other website being seriously slow.

[@mdrkzn19]

After spending a year in Japan, it was really weird re-adjusting to being back in the UK. Also, since I'm not fluent in Japanese it was much easier to tune out people talking around me, which was useful when studying.

[@qtZer0]

I'm Australian, and while I was in Canada, I asked my boyfriend to get me an iced coffee. He got one for me, I looked at it and those sad little ice cubes, and knew it was missing something. I tried to drink it, then told my boyfriend it was yucky because there was no ice cream, he took a sip and threw it straight in the bin. I figure Simons experience was Australia getting revenge for me.

[@x73v]

Australian internet is like... the bottom of all western countries (UK, USA etc.) internet speeds. People actually still have dial up in some areas. >>

[@ILuvChloeBobo4Eva]

I haven't heard of a sex bar before also I never knew that our internet is sooo slow

[@kiss2cry]

i know right. i mean i can get pictures to load and stuff.

[@ILuvChloeBobo4Eva]

Cagallirocks ^^ yeah

[@ILuvChloeBobo4Eva]

***** haha yeah I guess it is LOL I haven't been overseas before, so I wouldn't know myself XD

[@BBCEmily]

They already did this, just look back at their old TL;DRs and you should find it! ^^ Wish you the best~

[@estarry96]

watching this from sydney, australia!! you guys are hilarious:) going to visit korea after school, hope to visit hongdae

[@ethanfleming7821]

A sex bar is kind of like a strip club. (Never mind me being 3 years late, that's just our internet speed) (WOO MELBOURNE REPRESENT!)

[@hwanggeumchemi7418]

Omg im underage and i know what the terms means and yeah im typing this and it will probably takes ages to load...

[@arbood26]

Is the internet there still very slow?

[@shreyanand9368]

+Ario Budiarto yes. still slow.

[@CassAngel22]

Yep Blame our government for that. The dinosaur PM is fine with the slow internet.

[@trish.le_]

I'm from Australia and I'm Asian and I guess when I flush the toilet here I don't realise how strong it is but when I visit asia I do notice the flushes are weaker.

[@harrx0]

Same when I went to China the flushes were pretty weak

[@trish.le_]

I just thought the flushes were weak in Asia but really Aussies just have mega strong flushes lol

[@cleoelizabeth7803]

im australian and im still confused about the multi flush buttons.

[@cleoelizabeth7803]

hehetheeheehehe ikr >< this made me so self conscious like aRE MY POOS NORMAL im sure they are

[@cleoelizabeth7803]

hehetheeheehehe lol neither xD

[@cleoelizabeth7803]

***** i was involved >

[@jannesong7804]

Ohhh my gosh I might be visiting Korea early next year and this video reminded me how glorious the internet connection will be. My mouth is practically watering at the thought. I live in NZ so ours is even worse than Oz, and super expensive, too :(

[@hikosaemon]

That was great! I've lived in Tokyo 17 years, and am from NZ but family are in Australia so I go down there and go through pretty much exactly everything you described, every 2 years. I heard you guys are coming over to Japan soon? Peace

[@Gamer_Rade]

Mel-bin*

[@Wereallmadhere11]

holy crap dont even talk about our internet speed stop

[@xantropic_travels6564]

Hahaha I love you guy so much :) Yeah the small button on the toilet is for pee and the big flush is usually for poop, we don't have the opposite water flow we have just a down flush so it's big and loud lol and in the city people live conveniently so a lot of people exercise and yeah our shops close around 5:30pm-6:00pm except on late night shopping which changes per state, or for example in the suburbs it's thursday late night shopping but in the city it's friday late night shopping. As for the sex bars I honestly don't know, my guess is a bar that has prostitutes or something? yeah we have fairly bad internet speeds and it costs a FORTUNE. My god we are so expensive. I don't know how we do it! Australia is so weird because it changes from suburb to city and from city to state. We speak British English or a similar form of British english for example we do all differ in this: America/Canada = candy, Britain = sweets, Australia = lollies :) hope that helped with your questions

[@QueenOfr3d]

Try a flat white coffee when you come back!! When I make iced coffee I just use ice over coffee unless they want it blended, then I'll add the cream

[@EggplantorAubergine]

Adelaide is nice too! We have Rundle Mall and Handorf and apparently, we're the festival state :)

[@zachj61]

Why cant (most) Americans pronounce 'Melbourne' or any 'bourne's (like in UK)? Its not that hard... Mel-bn, dont need any long vowels in there. Kind of like Korean 'ㅡ', i guess

[@kyun701]

+zjohnfour blank Yes its Mel-bn, Ok Google for android says Mel-born. -,-

[@pop131]

I have no clue what a sex bar is :/ This is really new and disturbing for me

[@kweesiuliang]

I wonder...do both of you speak french as canadian other mother language is french? Show us your french ....hehehe...sorry for my bad english. Thanks

[@paulinepatpat4165]

XD I recognize myself so much in what you are saying when i first arrived, everybody in shape and running or the different word (i learned american and british english at school)!!! I am eager to see more of your discovery of Australia :D

[@jamiela12]

Hi, Martina!! Can you pretty pretty pretty please do tutorials for like EVERY SINGLE hairstyle you do in your videos?? I really want to know how to do your hairstyle in this video, the one in the this week's video, and a TON of other ones from different videos. Thank you for reading this long note. :)

[@theEddieworld]

apparently it's a bar where you have sex possibly i really have no idea I think that guy was just crazy. Also about the flushing i had no idea that every other toilet in the world wasn't from the depths of hell. Internet! I KNOW RIGHT! someone needs to fix our crap internet. i think by 2020 we'll have internet as fast as Korea 'cause their building this... thing or something. Is sport after school mandatory for Canada... because it sure was for me.... I'm one of those weird people who DOESN'T like pain (sport/exercise). Everyone in Australia seems to have an addiction to sport.... i'm going to japan... or norway. Well... yeah i mean shops inside shopping centers.... in Canada are they open all night or something?

[@maryamabdul63]

its gona be a hell lot hotter in perth and brisbane, so be prepared to have some third degree burns xD but seriously go in winter. also if u go to brisbane make sure to got to the theme parks~ oh and brisbane city i think is alot more older then melbourne and sydney..but i liv in melbourne so.. we pronounce it : melb'n..

[@tonyioane301]

Id suggest staying on the Gold Coast near the beach. Go in Winter here because summer is just.... KILL ME NOW weather regular heatwaves. Oh and yeah Brisbane is just... meh okay I guess haha gotta check out the theme parks! Southbank for a swim and yup lotta people work out in Australia given the mild winters and rugby culture. Good luck.

[@casper_tfgx4168]

NO! if you go to Brisbane DO NOT SWIM IN SOUTH BANK!!! lets just say that mostly children go there and children have very small bladders... um..... yeah. not saying that the pools are full of pee, but they do pump it with tonnes of chlorine to make up for the aforesaid pee.... i like my eyeballs inside my head thankyoup! but definitely go to the GC its great :)

[@CrownJulez]

Don't get me started on Australian internet speed, it's actually the worst in any first world developed country, it's disgraceful. I went to Japan recently and nearly cried from how fast their internet was. Ever so slowly it's getting better but our government is to stupid to realise how big an issue it is and that they should be putting more money into it.

[@xXArcadeonFireXx]

It's so weird watching this and I live in Australia it's really funny to see your perspective on Australia :)

[@michaela8599]

Oh thats pretty cool it would make it easier for them to judge decisions such as trips over seas etc.

[@ernokoivistoinen]

i laughed so hard during this episode

[@TheMysteriousSealSan]

Ok ahah, I'm Australian and the whole 'sex bar' thing isn't a very widely known place. It's sort of an 'underground' system where an abandoned public toilet is used for people just to hook up, get some, whatever you feel like calling it. So I'm guessing the Angry Aussie was trying to show how a toilet should not take as long as a 'sex bar' for obvious reasons. If you've ever seen people write numbers on the stall walls, it's very similar. The colour of the eggs, the orange yokes are usually laid by free range chickens that had a large living space, while the more yellow yokes were laid by chickens stuck in a box or cage until they die. :)

[@azarazat]

PLEASE COME TO BRISBANE

[@tangerineseventeen]

Dear Martina and Simon, I just came back from being in Aus for 6 months and you guys NAILED IT OMG everything you said is so true. I'm from the states but my aussie boyfriend said i was just being crazy. I'm showing him this video. EVERYTHING CLOSES AT LIKE 5PM hahah and the internet is horrendous.... is that a valid reason to give my boyfriend for not wanting to move there....? :) hahah love you guys as usual. xoxo from seattle.

[@Des.Boki49]

For next weeks TLDR could you guys talk about Milkis, it's a sweet milk soda drink in Korea and IT IS WONDERFUL!!!! And you must try it if you already haven't!

[@twistedshapeshifter]

haha yeah australia internet sucks so hard.. takes me 4 to 7 hours to upload a 5 minute video

[@twistedshapeshifter]

***** yeah its on the scarf

[@twistedshapeshifter]

***** Lucky you probably have a good internet provider

[@harrx0]

xD yes I've only uploaded 3 videos on KZbin and it took hours to upload when they're like a few minutes long...

[@twistedshapeshifter]

Harrison Xiong yeah 5 min videos take me around 30-40 mins and 15-20 min videos take aroun 8-9 hours makes no sense

[@harrx0]

[@ApricotDaddy]

maybe internet is shit coz we're in the middle of the ocean?

[@thestarspark2288]

+YouDontNeed2Know We just don't have the infrastructure, we have a very large country and the government hasn't invested anywhere enough money into decent country wide technology.

[@biancahu5148]

OMFG YOU GUYS ARE SO PERFECT! I'm from Australia and I totally get you guys! But it depends where you connect from. If you connect in a public area. The internet is definitely SHIT. Trust me. I have really quick internet. TAKE ME TO KOREA!

[@bizzarero]

hahahaha saw you guys in melbourne!! also its mel-burn but with the aussie accent its sounds like mel-ben, something like that haha. Omg i agree about the internet speed plus the shopping centres closing so earlyyy i used to live in malaysia and i moved australia a few years ago and im so not used to that

[@saja3512]

Come to Brisbane, surfers paradise, and on the Gold Coast you have to visit the theme parks (eg dreamworld, movie world, whitewater world, wet n wild, SeaWorld), Townsville is also beautiful, Hervey bay, oh and of course Tangalooma!! (It's a dolphin resort! Enough said right) haha

[@kayliapix5943]

Why is everyone so perplexed with the term sex bar? It's a regular bar, just a lot of people hook up in the bathrooms, which is why he would shout it in a bathroom, it's normal to take a while in a bar/clubs bathroom.... srsly.... not that hard to put together. Also theirs a good chance the kid who yelled it was british.. or a new zealander

[@NATALARIS]

Haha in Australia you pay for your internet. When you have reached your cap, the internet goes really slow. If you want more internet and faster internet, you pay more. Yup, Australia puts big emphasis on sports and exercise. Every thing here sounds about right haha, yea, our toilets. But I must say, the sex bar one, I have never heard about. :)

[@nhitong4561]

I live in Strayaaa...wanna go to Korea badly T_T

[@SoshiCaramel]

Hi Simon and Martina! You went to Singapore some time ago right? Can I hear about your views about Singapore and the similarites and differences from Korea? Like the English, how people dress, fans etc. Thank you! ♡

[@adorkableMBLAQSHINee]

I noticed different coloured egg yolks when I visited the US. Australia have orange yolks, the US have yellow. I looked it up. The consensus seems to be that "Richer-colored egg yolks are more likely to come from free-range hens. Free-range hens have the opportunity to eat more pigmented foods, and the pigment is then transferred to the yolk. But the macronutrients (protein and fat) remain the same regardless of yolk color".

[@cindeedreams]

Fun fact! Australia actually invented the wifi LOL

[@lugosi213]

Thanks for the fact! I didn't know that for my whole life.

[@somecrazdude2412]

From what I'm hearing they fuckin sold the idea and left it alone since xD

[@smeva26]

i think what he meant by sex bar was people having sex in the toilets he might have been clubbing the night before and had a bad experience maybe..? lol and btw starbucks is disgusting i tried it and its gross lol if u wanna get coffee i suggest going to Gloria Jeans, they have the best coffee (but its ice not icecream tho) and i can not wait for u guys to come to brisbane!!! i really hope u havent done it already XD

[@cynthiadewi7634]

i don't drink coffee but I quiet like the hot chocolate from Gloria Jeans.. well it actually depend on the coffee makers if they could make the milk or the coffee correctly and not burnt it (I know coz my mum works at a coffee shop here in Perth and she teaches me how to make coffee, I still can't really make one though :-P) I like Dome's hot chocolate best.... (my mum works at Dome before) the first time I tried hot chocolate was at Dome and since it has been my fave....

[@kimtong5957]

i dunno where u get ur good gloria jeans but gloria jeans in Sydney and around is really crap. go to campos ppl

[@smeva26]

[@truthseek1790]

Sex bars --- It's a hang over from the time when homosexuality was illegal, and to avoid being caught in a car, men met in public toilets for sex. No doubt your angry impatient person was gay.

[@faery03princess]

Ok. Simon. Martina. I loved you guys already. But when you start singing Flight of the Conchords on top of it all? Can I just move in with you guys? Seriously. Amazing.

[@MissAnathemaDevice]

There was a while there when the internet at my house (I live in Melbourne) was statistically worse than Africa. Well done Australia. Also as a Barista (fancy word for "Professional Coffee Maker"), I'd be more than happy and would LOVE to teach you about our coffee culture! It's crazier in Melbourne than it is elsewhere, but I hear the other states are catching up. :P

[@歐巴-r5n]

I say Mel-bin…

[@plushieangela]

But,with a soft i

[@kyun701]

[@fmagirlygirl]

In one of your videos about visiting Canada (Whoot WHOOT!), simon was very happy to see a squirrel saying that in Korea there were not any. What types of common wild life are there?

[@kristenyorama8398]

speaking as an aussie, we mostly use the first, half flush for pretty much everything.

[@AM-bq6nl]

i agree. im from australia and when i went over to korea i was surprised that the internet was so fast and provided free wifi EVERYWHERE. whereas in australia you have to pay for wifi in most places except maccas and other few places but yeah, everything you say is kinda true-ish except the sex bar part

[@Zhangy21]

YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING!! I was at the city from 9am to see you guys xD I was sooo happy ~fangirling~ Come again so I can actually meet you guys >.< I didn't get to go to the meet and greet :'(

[@catmartin5605]

Hey from Aus :))))) The internet thing just depends on what you have and what you're paying for! 3G here is slow especially in the city but my wifi is incredibly fast! Also did you know that wifi was actually invented by Aussies? To get ice coffee that actually just has ice in it you have to go to MacDonalds or what us aussies call "maccas". Australia has a huge emphasis on sport, our sportsman are like Gods! Although personally I'm not a sports fan so i don't really understand it hahah! I hope your trip here was fabulous and you come back soon!! Also good job with pronouncing melbourne correctly ;)

[@JemlovesKpop]

Ooooooh I wanna see Soozee's hair ^^ can't wait for the vlogs! I missed you guys on my subscriptions list :( ^^

1. It Is pronounced as Melbin 2. Our egg yolks are very orange cuz most of our chickens eat corn 3.

I know I'm late.. but YES PERTH! short black(esspresso) - 1 shot of coffee long black - 2 shots of coffee, usually with a little bit of water and yeahhhh, iced coffee comes with ice cream, usually they would ask with or without ice cream though :)

[@empresspip]

All coffees start from a "coffee shot" out of the espresso machine. Then the addition and type of milk changes what coffee it is. Short black: Straight shot, nothing else Long black: Shot + extra hot water. Should be done properly so the crema is still on top. Cappuccino: Shot + frothed milked with chocolate sprinkled on top Caffe Latte: Shot + slightly more frothy milk. No chocolate. Often served in a glass Flat White: (An Australian invention!) Shot + minimally frothed milk Hope this helps!!

Yes living expenses are high in Perth. I just got from Seoul and there everyone refuses to pay 1000 ($1) for a bottle of water, but more like .50c from 7 Eleven. Here it's expected to up to cost in excess of 3000($3).

can you talk about skincare in your next video? seems like both of your skin have been looking great lately

Most shops close early because after 6pm employees pay wages go up to 1.5x that normally is payed or you get payed "over time" if you work more than 8hrs

original "iced coffee" in austria/germany also has one or two scoops of ice cream inside. i was shocked when i ordered an iced coffee in starbucks a few years ago (there weren't any starbucks in vienna when i was young) and they put ice cubes inside. later i realized that that's how iced coffee is served in lots of other countries xD

[@aaroncabangun]

Hahaha!! It's awesome to get the perspective of other people about Aus!! Everything you guys mentioned is soooo true! Internet is slow as hell!! We start pumping iron in high school and for what reason? To strut around music festivals with our shirts off. Sad but true!!!

[@dbsksarangx3]

i think this is the hardest i've laughed from your TLDRs, the public crapping facility story had me in tears bc i was laughing so much. i even made my roommate watch that part xD love martina's earrings =]

[@CutiieDeviilX3]

iced coffee is different everywhere, in the city everything it make fancier i guess :P but say if you went to bankstown or strathfield or burwood (sydney) then youll get an overwhelming amount of chinese/korean ethnicity like shops restaurants and all that, green acre and auburn are mostly muslim, canterburry and maquarie are mostly english or european, leichhardt is nick named "little italy" because it has a lot of italian or french or greek people. this is all due to the giant migration thing.

Hi Simon and Martina! i was just watching your video on Korean stereotypes on foreigners and i was just wondering what types of lessons/anti-stereotypes (for lack of a better word) have you tried to impose on your students or other Korean friends? Have you tried to educate or inform them about how these stereotypes are not necessarily true such as the one about homosexuality?

[@pinkneonglowstick]

Short black is a shot of coffee (an espresso), long black is a shot of coffee with hot water (like brewed coffee I'm pretty sure, although I've never personally tried either), flat white is coffee with heated milk no foam, latte is essentially the same as a flat white but in a different glass with a bit of foam and more milk, cappuccino is a coffee with frothed milk and chocolate powder. We don't reallydo 'americanos' unless you go to one of our three Starbucks. Iced coffees and chocolates differ depending on where you get them; American brands (like MacDonalds or Starbucks) tend to make them with just ice cubes plonked in, but most Aussie chains and cafes will either mix or blend with ice cream and milk (essentially a Starbucks Frappuccino, but a lot of places just stir a shot of coffee in with 3/4 ice cream and some milk).

omg the flight of the choncords reference at the end! LOVE IT!

[@a7xgrr]

I know Leigh had given us a little bit of information on being an international student in Korea, but is there a way to go in to more detail? For example, what can an international student do to make money, and what type of scholarships/aid is available to help a student pay for school? I'm going to be starting SNU language program in the Winter so any information will be helpful. =]

[@mylittleexperiment]

haha you guys only experienced the city from the sounds of things so it makes sense you'd see a lot of people exercising, the city is very different from other areas, like the one I live in is very heavily populated by people from Asian countries and nearly all the restaurants and stores are catered to that :3 And iced coffees vary depending where you go, you can get a normal iced coffee that is just coffee iced maybe check with the people next time which version it is :) oh and you definitely should come to Melbourne again since I missed you last time you were here and I really enjoy your videos and your personalities.

[@Rachael1879]

I live in melbourne and I do agree that our first internet is slow but it has gotten better. And with coffee the top places to go in melbourne lygon st, gloria jeans, local café and McDonald's mc cafe it quite and easy to understand and I will love to show some great to eat as well.

[@Sakura2838]

OH MY GOSH I LOVE YOU BOTH FOR NOT ONLY THAT CRAPPING STORY, BUT THE BUSINESS TIME SONG HAHAHA Love you guys!

[@angelspit]

I don't know where you went but most places do serve iced coffee with ice. Usually it'll specify if it's icecream.

[@MsNiwa26]

Hey Simon and Martina! Sinces its Chuseok, can you talk about what generally happens today and about general manners in korea? For example, bowing and what would u do if u were bowing with an umbrella.. (its raining in london right now :P) thanks!! From a london nasty...

[@hadekpop7130]

As an Australian myself i think its really interesting

[@madeibn]

Pleaaaase come to Brisbane next time! And yes, our internet is that slow; it wasn't just your phone packages. And our internet is so slow, the video has only just loaded now.

[@stormrawhiti-parsons3748]

Yeah, you guys should definitely come to Brisbane! It isn't as busy as Sydney and Melbourne (unless you live in the city...)
