Sure! On Hinduism and the internal life: I said that we're all different and we really are, but there are some things you'll notice. Most Hindus are careful about the written word - you won't see books on the floor or under people's feet, people don't kick computers - and we tend to not drink much, even if not necessarily teetotal; if we eat meat, red meat is more unlikely; we're also very unlikely to do anything religious in public or speak much about it all. You can learn plenty about the religion from the internet but I think it's worth knowing how low-key the mindset is - we're not at all like Christians, Jews or Muslims.

(I forgot to mention before, I'm British, not Australian, but very similar sort of diaspora in this respect.)
