Is there anything that you miss about the U.S. that you wish was available in Australia?

Dr. Hensley: From Texas, I miss breakfast tacos. They make other really fantastic food in Australia and you aren’t living until you’ve had saltwater crocodile. I do not miss the weather. So, I haven’t experienced a single cyclone in the areas I’ve lived in since I’ve been here, which has been glorious. There are words and colloquialisms that take time to understand. Every single time you pronounce the name of a city in Australia they’ll make fun of you for it because you’re pronouncing it incorrectly. Driving on the other side of the road is not as big of a deal as people like to make of it. It only takes hitting a couple curbs to figure out where the other side of the car is. I really enjoy it and the plan is to go through permanent residency and then become a citizen because it’s got enough benefits for my kids and family.
