  1. Flat whites, I'm all about it!  You make the best flat whites in Australia!!!!
  2. Nicknames, the Aussies have the greatest capability of nicknaming people. I've never seen any country able to do it better than Australia!
  3. My wife is Australian. She grew up in Melbourne, so I love my wife.
  4. She comes from a really cool family, that I love dearly as well – let's include them!
  5. I love a good lamington!!!! I'm all about that, what a culinary invention!
  6. Beef!!!! There's no greater beef in the world than in Australia, although I haven't had beef everywhere of course!
  7. I love me some John Farnham and I know that he is a national treasure in Australia.
  8. Aussie footy. Dude, I'm into it. Last time I was in Australia I went to the Aussie footy finals and my brother-in-law sat with me and he walked me through how to play the game! So then I’m getting it, I'm starting to understand it!  My team is the North Melbourne Kangaroos.
  9. I like the food culture in Australia, the food is absurdly great.
  10. Restaurants - Chin Chin, Melbourne. Wow. It's one of my favourite restaurants in the world. And another thing, there is a restaurant in Melbourne, I’m not sure if it is still there or not but it was called Cookie. And, the first night I ever met my beautiful wife, was there.
