Cultural Contrasts: An Outsider's View on Australian Aesthetics

In a recent online video, vlogger Josiah Hein shared his unique perspective on Australian culture, highlighting what he perceives as a significant emphasis on aesthetics and beauty across various aspects of daily life. Hein, who has traveled between Canada and Australia, noted that in Australia, there's a prevailing expectation for things to be "pretty and beautiful," from public spaces to commercial establishments and even personal appearance. "It's like everything... it's more normal for things to be really pretty and beautiful," Hein stated in the video. He suggested that this cultural norm might stem from Australians being accustomed to visually pleasing environments. He contrasted this with North America, where he believes the focus is more on substance, or "flavour," even if it means less attention to visual appeal. "Some of our best restaurants are like holes in the wall," he explained, implying that North American establishments prioritize the product over presentation. Hein concluded by expressing his admiration for Australia's overall beauty, remarking, "It's so beautiful, bro. It's beautiful to be in Australia." His observations sparked discussion among viewers about cultural differences in valuing aesthetics.
