strictly speaking he's a kiwi, but he's been working in Australia for decades so I guess that makes him an aussie.
NO, no and no. Always a bloody Kiwi. Saying that, I love them. They are everywhere here. They are kinda adopted as Aussies but they are deifnitely Kiwis.
And yeah, Australians overshare somewhat - as a generalisation, though. We're kinda friendly and our personal life can seep into professional life, which would be culturally different from some workplaces I imagine!
Yeah worked that one out quite early on, and I really appreciate how friendly aussies are. I know a few from the Hong Kong team were invited round to a barbie one time when they arrived a couple days earlier over the weekend.
It's just that when I need to finish a report on Monday morning, I really need the data... quick 😂 otherwise I'd love a natter
