Hello everyone,

Living outside of our home country requires us to adapt to a new culture and different traditions. What are some of the cultural specifics in Australia?

What are some of the traditional beliefs and cultural practices that you have encountered in Australia that are different to your home country?

Tell us a bit more about some of the customs that you've found interesting, such as communication style, food, greetings, laws, or festivities.

What were your initial reactions and how did you adapt to them?

Thank you for sharing your experience.

Hi Priscilla,

Being from the Philippines, waving to my neighbors while driving is somewhat a habit then, I found out that it's illegal in NSW due to a law about having any limb protruding from a vehicle window.

My Aussie friend told me about it after doing it a hundred times

Thank goodness I wasn't fined for what I've been doing haha
