  1. Re languages. I think about 22% of the population are non English/or ESL. I worked for a research company for several years, we spoke to people from all different backgrounds when compiling certain statistics. Mandarin is the dominant non English language spoken at home. Especially in cities like Sydney, you will see signs etc with Chinese underneath. Same with the ATMs, in different languages. Cantonese and Arabic are also common. They are probably probably the second and 3rd after English. And you mentioned Greek, also Vietnamese, Tagalog(Filipino) is increasing too. It's not surprising Spanish is so prevalent in the United States as you share a border. We're unusual for a continent in that we're isolated. Any second languages come from immigration or migration patterns. In school especially the last 30 years it's very common to learn an Asian second language. Most commonly Mandarin, Japanese, Bahasa Indonesian. When I was in school we did a year or two of Bahasa Indonesian. Long long time ago! I still remember and use some of the phrases if I meet or speak to an Indonesian. A lot of people from Indonesia in Australia too. Many Australians holiday there. Many Australians work there as English teachers. It's not uncommon for Australians to know some basic Indonesian, of they went to school in the last 30 odd years. Mr Chris Hemsworth himself speaks it. (You can see videos on YouTube lol)

  2. Haha the reason "Canberra" skyline looks better than Washington is because that's actually Sydney skyline!😂. That Gold tower in the picture is centrepoint tower. There's a 360,° observation deck up top and people can do guided walks around the outside. Others have pointed out the massive error in the land mass size in kilometres😆. That figure he quoted includes Alaska and Hawaii. Australia is 7.692 square kilometres. I don't know if that includes Tasmania and the other islands 🤷‍♀️. The Australian Antarctic Territory (AAT) would be another 5.9 million square kilometres. But that's not part of the mainland continent, so it doesn't count!
