Agreed but I've managed to pleasantly survive in North Carolina and New
Jersey.
I went to Australia after visiting New Zealand. It is a pretty country - at
least in the Southeast as that was all I saw. Sydney was nice if a bit
crowded. Melbourne reminded me of San Francisco because of the
trolleys/cable cars but also seemed a bit dangerous (there was the first
time I'd seen barriers between taxi drivers and their passengers).
Australians were friendly except for in Canberra where all seemed a bit
rude. I was annoyed by the fact that the rudest all had American accents.
Of all the places I liked Cooma and the people there the best. The currency
controls were a pain but apparently successful since $1 Australian equalled
$1.40 US. Of course that was a while ago - the opera house was fairly new
and they kicked Sinatra out while I was there.
