I am a 22 year old college student, recently decided to move to Adelaide from my hometown of Cincinnati, Ohio in order to pursue my dreams and education. I moved to the USA only 6 years ago from Sydney, and now that I am going back, I desperately need some updates and advice on how to start over again. I am very familiar with Australian culture [because I was born in Sydney], but I have been Americanized and would like some help on adapting to the Aussie lifestyle again. Help appreciated.

You wont find it that hard. Now, I did it kind of in reverse, in that I am from the US, and I went to live in New Zealand (which obviously isnt Aussie, but still), and then came back to the US. There were a few months where things seemed funny to me, and I stood out as being "different" for a short while with my Kiwi accent and all- but it was really like putting on an old coat- very familiar, and I was completely re-Americanized in such a short time that I could hardly believe it. Thats kind of a nice things between Aussies/Kiwis/Americans- we're different, but the differences are of the "interesting" variety- they arent real hard to overcome. And Im really jealous by the way, I wish I could relocate down to either Aussie or NZ, I do like that kicked back, no worries lifestyle more than what Im living here.

Adelaide is a beautiful place to live. The main piece advice I would give is to be prepared to get used to a much slower lifestyle. It is easy to get used to the fast pace of a American city and all its options. I suggest not worrying about fitting back in. It will happen naturally. www.LetsGoToAustralia.com has a free e-book that would help you refresh yourself on Australia and all it has to offer.
See you here!

You will love Adelaide, top little city. Just remember us Aussies are laid back and relaxed. Welcome back home!

When you say you are Americanized, does that mean you got fat
