Hi! Thank you so much for watching the video. It's really interesting hearing your perspective and I'm glad to hear you're lucky enough to have good, friendly bosses! When I used to work in hospitality years ago, most of my bosses were friendly and nice, but when I once did a corporate job in an office, I found the people there were much ruder and bossier and some of them were just not nice people at all, and it made me hate my job. I'm really happy to hear that you're having good experiences in Australia, and I hope you enjoy your time there 😀How's the work culture in the Philippines compared to Australia?

@ The work culture in the Philippines is strict, especially among managers and supervisors “not all” but most of them are hehe, they seem take their job seriously. But in Australia in hospo industry managers and supervisors here are very easygoing people.

Thank you so much for that explanation. I didn’t know that, and they obviously didn’t mention that part on the tour haha. Thanks for watching the video and for the interesting info 😀

Muchas gracias Gabriel 😀

Yeah unfortunately it wasn’t in the original video that I was reacting to. But I might make my own video of unique and amazing Aussie animals in the near future and I’ll be sure to include the wedgetail

Thanks so much for the very kind comment. I hope the video brought back some good memories of Colombia for you! Sorry to make you crave the food hehe. I might have to make a part 2 to this video because it seems a lot of people are interested in Colombian food 😀

@@AbroadWithBen One other food to consider would be the amazing plethora of jugos (juices). I was absoutely blown away just about everywhere in Colombia with the fruits and the juices. I always ordered the ones with no added sugar. No need! Cheers!

That’s a great idea! Thanks so much for the suggestion. I’ll definitely keep that in mind for a future video perhaps within the next month or two. I appreciate it 😀

@@AbroadWithBen That's awesome. I'm subscribing so I'll see it. I will also check and see if you have any videos for Jamaica and Mexico!! Cheers!

You are right, they once were the apex predator until dingos basically eradicated them on the mainland, and then they only existed on the island of Tasmania until they were sadly hunted to extinction in the early 1900s. Scientists are trying to bring them back from extinction which is fascinating stuff! Thanks for watching the video 😀

I read it’s something to do with their unique intestines. You’ll probably be able to find videos on UA-cam explaining it, I’m certainly no expert haha 😂

@@BudandBloomWithBlossom thanks a lot, I really appreciate that. I’m glad the video was at least education hehe 😀

Hehe not the best picture but you can Google it, they definitely poop in cubes 😂

@Dannydonnelly The end of the video shows the squares clearly. 🪻🪻

Hi there! Thanks for your comment. To be honest, I agree with much of what you said especially about some of the tourist traps and overpriced places. It's very true, sadly! Your suggestion about hiring a car and driving around the south-eastern coast and towns is a great idea and an awesome way to see some of the lesser-known areas of the country. My intention in this video was to show some of the famous cities and attractions, and a few other places that are less well known to foreigners. Someday, I'll make a part 2 about some other less touristic places with a focus on Australia's unique nature and landscapes. Thanks again for your comments, I appreciate this kind of feedback and suggestions.

Hahaha glad it gave you a good laugh! 😆

👍

Hi Martha! Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us. As I mentioned, the grass isn't always greener on the other side, but it's worth staying for a minimum of 6 months to really give your new life a chance in a new country. I truly hope your time in Australia will get easier and better with time, and I hope you will fall in love with Australia! Thanks again for sharing your experience and feedback.

Hi Andres! Thank you so so much for your very kind comment! I agree that some Colombians don't realize how incredible their own country is! I think Colombia is one of the most beautiful places in the world and I always speak positively about this country because I truly think it's amazing! Even after 12 years living here, I know there is so much more for me to discover, and I hope to visit Choco someday! Thanks a million for watching the video. If you ever have any suggestions for future videos, please let me know.

I appreciate the feedback. I didn’t realize how loud it was but thanks for letting me know

@@AbroadWithBen You're welcome.

@ I genuinely appreciate constructive criticism because I know it comes from good intentions and it helps me make better videos, so thank you again 😀

Hola Jorge. Muchas gracias por ver el video. Aprecio tu comentario. He aprendido que algunas de las frutas que mencionaste no se deben comer sino hacer bebidas, cometí algunos errores al probarlas jajaja. Desde que hice este video, he probado algunas de estas frutas en bebidas (como el lulo) y ¡son deliciosas! Bendiciones, y gracias de nuevo

Hi. Thank you so much for watching the video, I really hope you enjoyed it! I completely understand how you feel when you miss the comforts from your home country like the food, the culture, the beautiful landscapes etc. It's great to hear that you're proud of your country, culture, and food. Colombia is an incredibly special place! I hope you will be able to take a trip home someday soon and satisfy those Colombian food cravings haha

@@AbroadWithBen Hi Ben, guess what ? I m already in Colombia ! I hit Cali a few days ago 😁😁😃😃 long time I didn't come here but so happy to see my family again. 😢😃 I ve pigg'd out on every typical dish, I hadnt tasted for so long.

I can imagine how happy you must be getting a little “taste of home” again. That’s awesome 😀 I’m happy for you! Hope you have a great vacation home and eat plenty haha

@@AbroadWithBen sure, I will 😹😸😻 God bless u, Ben ! Thanks for lettin ppl know about my country's food and culture.

It’s my true pleasure showing the best of Colombia and the Colombian people. Thank you so much for watching my videos and supporting my channel. I hope you’ll like the videos I’ll be publishing in the future 😀 Best regards

That’s awesome, I hope you have the best time! The spring weather should be nice too 😀 Be careful of those drop bears 😋

@@AbroadWithBen I survived last year during magpie diving season so I’ll take my chances lol

@@easybreezy4559 Oh no! I don’t know which is worse! Magpies are my childhood trauma haha. Wishing you an awesome trip! Let me know if you have any interesting//crazy/scary animal experiences this time. 😀

It really is!

Thank you so much! She’s adorable, everyone loves her with her cute little ears and d beautiful brown eyes ❤️

I was attacked by a drop bear once. I’ll never forget the sheer terror… or the fact that it stole my sandwich!

Hi. It seems that Colombia is a very popular place for retirees from several countries, generally due to the beautiful weather, lower cost of living, and so on. I'm interested in your comment because it could be a topic for a future video (whenever I can find the time to make it haha). If there are some specific questions you'd like to know, please let me know in the comments and I'll either try to answer them here, or include the answers in a future video that might be helpful to a large group of viewers. Thanks for watching my videos

@@AbroadWithBen I totally gave up on Mexico. I can't bring myself to go to a country being take over by the cartels who have military power and money, and have bought off police, politicians, agencies, etc. etc. It's like a cancer taking over the whole country step by step. Colombia is now a massive improvement, and videos have shown me the special appeal of Pereira.

Sorry to hear that about Mexico 😞 Although I haven’t yet been to Pereira, I’ve heard it’s in a very beautiful part of the country with lower costs of living than the bigger cities like Bogotá and Medellin. I’ve lived in cities that are similar in size to Pereira and they were nice but had more frequent infrastructure problems (like electricity and water issues), but hopefully Pereira is a bit more developed. I’ll try to make a video there within the next 6-12 months and I’ll include those details 😀

@@AbroadWithBen Sounds like a great idea.

@@AbroadWithBen What bothers me besides the heat and humidity is air pollution and trash pollution which unfortunately is common in so many large locations.

Hi there. I agree with you, and it wasn't my intention at all to sound like I was generalizing about ALL of Colombia. I've lived in and visited several cities and towns throughout the country, and in the video I wanted to talk about some of the common traditions and customs I've seen throughout the country, but you're right, every region, town, and city has their small differences in culture, traditions, customs, foods, and much more. I'm sorry to say I haven't yet visited Pereira but it's definitely on my list of places to visit sometime in the next 12 months, so stay tuned, I'll make a video about it when I eventually get there.

So sorry to hear that! There’s such vicious little beasts! 😔

I’m from Western Australia and we don’t have them over there.

@@AbroadWithBen Thanks for that info, I had thought that they were ubiquitous in Oz, having heard so many jokers making reference to Funnel-webs in the dunny! Today I know more than I did yesterday, so thanks again!

All good man. I hope you liked the video too 😀

You are right. It was a slip of the tongue and I realised it after I said it. I believe they can grow up to around 7 metres or something which is insane 😱

Shhhh Emily don't break the Aussie code hahahaha I'm kidding. I made that video purely for fun and to tease a few gullible tourists hahaha

Thanks a million Yeisson! So glad you liked it. This video was kind of an experiment but many people seem to like it, so I'll make more similar ones in the future! I appreciate your comment 😀

You might be right! That thought crossed my mind 😂 As someone who’s been kicked by a kangaroo on a few occasions, it ain’t fun!

Hi Mikey! I didn't know that! Thanks so much for the info; that's really cool to know! I'm definitely not claiming to be an expert on Australian wildlife so I could only share a few of the facts I knew, but this is really interesting! Thanks!

The “Elmer Fudd” nickname might have made me snort-laugh 😂

Hahaha I’m so glad you understand 🤣
