Having just spent several weeks dating an English girl, I would say we’re actually probably happier here. And certainly more outgoing (in general. Though it depends where in England, of course!)
And that’s coming from someone who does not like this country very much at all…
I think people here are much more open and upfront about things than the English/Welsh norm (this doesn’t apply so much to the rest of the British Isles), and I actually like that…
I think Australians have a lower bullshit tolerance, in general… But I guess it depends.
As she said to me, “This is like paradise to us” (which seemed ironic).
Even more ironic, as I’m about to move to Sweden - land of the cold, utterly direct, no-small-talk folk. Which, having dated a couple of Swedes… I’m genuinely somewhat nervous about.

But it should be interesting.
