I would say that most of the british and kiwi tourists that come to sydney probably dont meet anyone from here properly..I dont see the point in going somewhere overseas and hanging out with people from the same city as you. I know aussies do that in London and New York too. I was talking to a dude i used to go to high school with and he had just recently come from 3 months in paris. He said 'Oh man, it was awesome, there are like 3 Aussie bars there, who'd have thought you could get VB on tap in paris'
I know i shouldnt expect much from people who idolise Shane Warne and who worship the foo fighters but this was just really hard to take in.
