 I find Australia’s subcultures and people in general to be very interesting.  I like their subculture’s.  I dislike how tolerant they are because that isn’t always good.

 I stand neutral with living in Russia. Mainly because I like America 10x more but I do like the cold.  I would like to live in Australia because they are extremely laid back and the people just seem easy to get along with.

 I prefer living in my own country because I am used to it and it’s better than every other country out there. Although, I do like Australia a lot and would love to visit the country. I just wouldn’t want to live there.
