I moved to Melbourne from Ireland and absolutely LOVED it… but the town I’ve just relocated to is unfriendly, rude and racist. Is this normal?
Before moving to a remote town in the northern region, a man who moved to Melbourne for work spoke about the ‘sharp’ differences between urban and regional life in Australia.
Me, who came to Victoria in November, said Melbourne ‘absolutely loved’ – a refreshing purchase among the growing reports of expats struggling with loneliness in big cities.
“ There is a lot to do, beautiful places to eat and magnificent parks. What impressed me the most was how comfortable, sincere and everyone was everyone. I went to many big cities around the world and they are not usually as friendly as Melbourne, ” he said.
He contradicts London, which he described as colder because of the ‘pressures and dangers of a city’.
However, when I moved to a remote part of the NT for regional visa activities, the reception was completely different.
‘God, it could not be the opposite’ he said.
‘The people here are very hostile, rude and outright trying to catch you at every opportunity.’
He claimed that the locals mocked the accent, told him to ‘speak properly English’ and reported hearing foul language, open racism and open homophobia.

“ Any little mistake is met with “You up friend”, ‘he said and added’ he never saw such a thing ‘he added.
I said that blasphemy felt a different tone in Outback, despite being common in Ireland.
‘Easy swearing and hostility and childish blasphemy … Absolutely the second’ he said.
The experience caused him to ask a question to the Australians:
“ Are you really more beautiful in cities than rural? What makes Australia the opposite of most countries? Is it about Outback’s excessive distance and insulation? ‘
“This is not just a rent … I really wonder,” he added.
The Australians quickly responded to Reddit. The country described a woman who grew up in Victoria as ‘small isolated bubbles with similar landscapes’.
“The city is a melting pot with different landscapes. I found the country’s towns more comfortable but more racist and homophobic. The city still has it, but because it is less isolated, you will get a more balanced and general acceptance, ” he said.

Another reiterated the thought: ‘The only way to stay in the town of a country is to suppress your own views, especially as a new coming. That’s why I left. I felt freedom in the city. ‘
Others remembered similar experiences. A man who grew up in Darwin said it was an eye -catching to move to a 16 -year -old small outback mine town.
Just as long as they visit ‘friends out of the city “friends. If you live there and want to reach anywhere in a town that uses gossip, you should definitely reject your own views and be like them,’ ‘he said.
`Even then, you will always be seen as a kind of exclusion, because you were not born there and you were not about everyone. Your interests and history will be rejected because this is not their interests or history. ‘
Hundreds of, agreeed with Ben’s buying, one added: ‘Even Kinder towns can be socially ignorant.’
From small towns to 300 people to the capitals ‘everywhere’, the other said: ‘Positives and negatives are strengthened in regional areas because there is less noise to hide.’
Still, not everyone accepts. Some argued that the communities of the country are often more friendly, but a few ‘toxic’ towns gave them a bad name.
One, “ “ approximately 30 percent of rural areas have developed very toxic norms, ” he wrote.
‘They are some of the best and most hospitable people you will find good (but they are still rude and happy to remove Mickey from you and them). The worst of all is arrogant, racist, insush and outright bad. ‘
First, the theory theorized that most of the ‘good’ young people have left for better opportunities in cities and leaving behind an older, more resistant population.
“ I have worked in the town of hundreds of countries in the last 25 years and the difference in the towns can be worrying at just two hours apart. A stable population and industry has a great impact on a large extent, ” he said.
The towns with temporary populations are sh*t, and the people remaining naturally become brutal because they are longing for the old days and not to be intolerance to change, not including farmers.
‘Most farmers are incredibly generous with their time and knowledge, but they will not endure fools.’
Well, Australian cities Really More friendly than the town towns?
