What Do Aussies think of Americans?

been conducting informal poll of some Aussies about what they think of Americans.

My results so far:  Australians think Americans are arrogant, ignorant about worldly matters, and that they all carry guns.

I do think sometimes we get dirty looks on the train when Lisa and I are chatting loud enough that other people can hear our accents. It's not like we experience the same kind of dirty looks that a Muslim would have gotten in NYC on the subway in 2002, but it definitely is weird to be a foreigner. I don't think Americans can enjoy the same sort of friendly welcome (that we always assumed we had) as in the pre-Dubya days.
