A travel website forum had a thread about cities, where people posted a person as a representation of the city.

For Hong Kong they put a Chinese businessman stressed and screaming into a phone

For Rio de Janeiro they posted a girl in a tight bikini

For Paris a snotty guy with a baguette

These were the images they posted for Australian cities.

Do you agree with them?

Perth


Adelaide


Melbourne


Sydney


Brisbane


As Aussies, what is your opinion?

The Perth one is true, everyone's tired and it doesn't have a massive amount of attractions so one could call it "boring" (not that I would)

I don't know about all of them. While I heard that Australia isn't the healthiest country, I saw more fit people (and people jogging with backpacks on, working out in the park, etc.) in Sydney than I've seen in my life.

Sorry Irene, with your history of porky pies you're going to have to link the website before I take your post seriously.

I have NFI to be honest. Just that they speak in a funny accent like they're misplaced New Zealanders. I used to work with a girl from Adelaide and she was similar to the caricuture, which is I think why I laughed.

I wouldn't agree with Sydney. I live by the beach and I can assure you this is not what I see. Quite the opposite actually. Lovely lithe bodies.

My opinion is you picked these yourself in an attempt to offend.
