They say that Australian share common values with Canadians and Americans. This is true only to a certain extent because in the land of plenty that is Canada and the US, you can be over generous with food and beverages. Things are much more expensive in Australia, thus Aussies are meaner and leaner. For example, we pay AUD18.95 for a packet of 20 cigarettes. In the US, I noticed that the general price was less than a third at USD5.95. No wonder that people of all ages and across gender smoke when cigarettes are so cheap!\u00a0Maybe it was a dirty plot to keep prices down to lure people into smoking. Who knows?<\/p>\n
Clothing was about the same ratio in terms of price, may even be\u00a0more than half. In Australia, we must have paid more than double than you guys in North America. Richmond is already\u00a0inexpensive to shop\u00a0but Tommy was telling me that sometimes he goes on shopping trips across the border to\u00a0Portland in Oregon where\u00a0they don’t pay any sales tax.\u00a0We noticed the prices in Las Vegas where they sold top quality clothes and cosmetics for much less than people pay in Australia. In fact, I saw some shopping outlets on the Canadian border near Seattle\u00a0advertising to their\u00a0customers that their goods are just as inexpensive as in the US. So why shop in the US?<\/p>\n
