Australia, 8/10
I've lived in Australia for 12 years now, so my review might be more helpful for people who are considering living here, as opposed to touring, it also may be a little biased (lol). Overall, Australia is a great country, I've had pretty much no issues with it, and my love for the country expanded after I visited Brisbane. I'll go over some of my favourite things about this country.
The People
I love the people here. Regardless of the common misconception that we're all a bunch of eshays who spit on each other (don't get me wrong, they exist), Australia is a pretty friendly country. Similar to other western countries, Australia promotes speaking to one another as friends, without ever violating each others personal space. This sense of friendliness and community is probably much stronger in regional Australia, naturally because of the size of towns. However, I would like to emphasize that due to the extroverted nature of the people, not all interactions with locals may be friendly, but nonetheless you should have a great time meeting people here.
The Cities
Now I'll be honest, they could be better, and I haven't been to every single Australian city, but the cities aren't a complete shithole. If I had to say what my favourite was so far, it was Brisbane (granted I went at a time where there was quite literally nobody walking around on the street). I'd also recommend Sydney for doing all the touristy stuff. If you like food, Melbourne has arguably the best food culture, since it's treated like art here. It's hard to talk about a food that is exclusive to Australia, since my city is pretty multicultural, Kangaroo tastes alright I guess? Vegemite is good if consumed properly, and our Maccas Ice Cream machine is never broken.
