We have recieved a lot of questions from readers around the world, most of them are about the differences and similarities between our three countries. So in this post we will make a short comparing between them.

We start comparing religion. The majority of the people in all three countries are Christians. In the U.S most of the Christians are catholics but in Scotland and Australia the majority is Protestants. All three countries have laws based on Christian valuations. But in all of these countries the other four dominating world religions are represented too. Catholics in the U.S are very religious compared to Australia and Scotland, where religion isn’t as big part of their lives.

All of the countries have the same Christian valuations some traditions are very much like each other. For example, all three countries celebrate Christmas but in different ways. In Australia they celebrate Christmas on 24th while the U.S. and Scotland celebrate on 25th. Similarities are for example, eating ham/turkey, pudding and sweets. The aussies like to eat giant prawns too, which never would happen in the U.S or Scotland.

All three countries have different food, Scotland’s national dish is Haggis and the aussies have their vegemete. But all in all you eat almost the same thing in all three countries, possibly you eat more seefood in Australia but otherwise it’s almost the same. Comparing to Sweden we all are convinced that our countries food is fatter, and that the Swedish breakfast is something special.

A difference is mabye the way of acting, people from Scotland are very polite, for the people I U.S is sucsess important, the new yorkers live very stressfull lifes, and the aussies favourite quotation is “carpe diem”.

If you want to read more about the differences and the similarities, you have the blog, everything can be found in the other posts.


This is our last post, hope you have found it interesting and funny to read about our different countries.

Good Bye!
