There's 15,000 Australians in Dubai working across a variety of industries.

I haven't met all of them yet.

Can I ask how to pronounce "Aussie"? I have always referred to Australian as OZ, not Aussie--are they the same word?
BTW, Australian accent is hot!!!

That doesn't help with how you pronounce 'Aussie'!

Phonetically you pronounce it 'Ozzie'.

Weel for someone who doesn't know how to pronounce it from the spelling Aussie, you just say you pronounce it as you would Ozzie. Same, same, just different spelling.

Otherwise it could be pronounced with a soft 's' and 'au' as in Austria.

Ian --> technically cant be said he's just an aussie. he once owned Chad. Doesnt it make him a Chaddian first? or is it ok with the citizenship rules of both countries to shift between the nationality status..?
