Thank you guys for all the feedback on this video!! Sorry the music was so loud and annoying. I'll certainly make an updated version so if there are any questions you want answered on my life here, please comment and I'll collate and answer them. x
I went to Australia to study abroad there for 3 months as a black female and honestly I was so glad that nobody ever said anything racist towards me. I was treated nicely over there! Down in the Gold Coast :) ❤️
Aussie's are known for being really laid back and friendly, plus considering Australia is one of the most diverse countries in the world with many Australian's coming from different multicultural backgrounds it's very nice. 👍
For Coco Love: It's difficult to pick up mistakes/things that could be improved in your own work. That's why if you are writing something important it is always a good idea to get someone else to check it before you start printing or hit the "send" button.
Lovely video Nancy, you look so pretty. Am so happy you did this video, you know I 've asked you before what living in Australia is like. I have a better understanding of Australia now, am glad you pointed out about being open and maybe not too sensitive. I think that is the most important thing when planning to move to a different country. I can't wait for your love story video!!!
Thank you so much Johnnel!! I recorded it a couple of weeks ago but was so nervous about mis-representing the country that it took me a while to upload it. Sorry it took me so long to make it - I'm really glad you found it useful :-) Yes - I will do a video on my relationship story. Lol. It's SO embarrassing but it's a big part of what brought me to Australia so kinda ties into everything. I think I'll take a few shots before I sit down to record that one. Lol.
So, despite the video title, this is a video about living in Perth. Perth is a smaller town, the most isolated capital city on the planet and most Australians find it quite different to the rest of the country. You will find that attitudes and lifestyles will vary between the various states. There is a tendency to think that Australia is Bondi Beach, or Melbourne coffee shops, or Brisbane heat, but while there are some similarities, Australia has a great deal of diversity and many life experiences that are very different to life in Perth, and no place is fully representative of the country as a whole. I suspect you would enjoy Sydney and Melbourne a lot more than Perth. Sydney is a shopping paradise compared to Perth. Melbourne CBD is full of little lanes with coffee shops that you would love. Cairns is like going to Tahiti in many ways. The Gold Coast is a lot like Waikiki in Hawaii. There are vast deserts, rainforests, surf beaches, and much more. Everywhere you go you feel safe from people, but there are places with dangerous animals like crocodiles. Perth is just the tip of the iceberg, there is a lot more Australian-ness and a lot more diversity of people and multiculturalism for you to discover.
Being politically correct here in Australia is not something we tend to do because most of us don't have the intent of being offensive to culture, gender or race. It doesn't matter to us what you are, only your actions, integrity and morality are important to us. So guys and girls if you are coming to visit/live here just remember that your actions speak louder than words and we will happily welcome you to our country. I for one don't care if your black, white, brown, pink or purple, if you are a good person that's enough for me (and most of us Aussies) But of course there will always be the odd few dickheads out there that will intend on being offensive but you will find them in any country. Remember words are not the problem, it is the intent that words are used that is the problem
Us Aussies don't like political correctness because it is inherently bullshit, and we don't like bullshit.. Self censorship is a form of dishonesty, because it forces you to be constantly talking in guarded language full of euphenisms, buzzwords, managerial wafflewords and Newspeak. I'll leave that kind of rubbish to the frightened morons working in a boring office job, or to politicians trying to cover their arse.
Appreciate your feedback on living in Perth. I am a West Aussie living in Sydney and I miss the place desperately. Glad your experience has been a positive one. We all voted and we think you can stay!!
This was quite helpful. thank you. Great that you are also a fellow british person. I am exploring places I want to consider living for a better weather and quality of life. Not sure I will fit all the criteria, however having dome idea of what skills are needed in the job market helps. Im exploring if moving to Austarlia is feasible, if one is not being sponsored. Im a single person who is 36. Not the best CV I guess but I do have a degree and really want to work and to get a feel for the place. I am seeing that it is pretty much goig to be as difficult as wanting to work in the US so not sure how it can be done. Some great tips though, thanks you.
Perth is my favourite city. I would love to move to Fremantle one day. There is a reason why the American navy called Fremantle a 'real-life Shangri-La.' Beautiful weather and beaches, a real paradise. Sunny weather tends to make people happier, too. I live in Melbourne, and the weather here isn't that great.
Hi Nancy, I have just found your channel here. Excellent video. Perth is one city that I have never visited so far. I live in Melbourne and was born in Sydney. Thanks for sharing. All very the best, Robert.
Perth/WA (where I was born and grew up) has lots of beautiful places and some gorgeous towns but also does have its fair amount of conservative, not neccessarily openly racist but unnaccepting of different cultures and use 'old' language which can be seen as offensive etc, it is part of the reason I havent moved back from Melbourne, of course plenty of victoria is the same but generally melbourne is mostly progressive and accepting (so is Fremantle and some of the southwest though). Also Perth is a bit more casual then the east coast especially Melbourne when it comes to dress sense and such.
Haha! That's the first question I get too - WHYY! I'm from the Caribbean and moved to Sydney for a year. I document my travels on my channel. Australia's been great to me too though but after a year my family and friends are still like - you live so far! Whyyy!
I hope you have had a chance to explore more of Australia, I think you will see that all of Australia is not the same as Perth. Especially when it comes to shopping! If you haven't already (since I realize this is an old video) you should check out Sydney & Melbourne.
Hostels are a great way to make friends. There are not many cliques and sharing a room with open-minded intelligent foreigners is a good place to start if you want to cultivate friends around the globe. However, I'd consider the ability to create long term friends for the country the hostel is located in is limited. Quite a few of the guests do fall in love with the country (or an Aussie) so there's that I suppose
I’m a black male from America and I’m thinking of moving there. I’m an American truck driver, 22 and heavily tattooed. Sydney is where I want to live. Or a small town call coffs harbor. Will I have a hard time? I hope that you can get back to me?
Donovan Lankford Hi Donovan :-) I’m not sure if your profession is on the skilled migrant list but have a look and see if your eligible for sponsorship. I’d also suggest looking into a Working Holiday Visa that allows you to live in Australia for 1year, extendable to 2 years (you’ll need to complete 3months of farm work in regional Australia to get your second year granted). It’ll give you a taste of what it’s like to live in Australia and decide what your next / long terms plans will be. Good Luck 😊
Hey Donovan, minimum age for tractor trailer operators is 21 but insurance with the bigger companies may be an issue as 25 can be a minimum imposed by some. I believe that as long as you don't have a rap sheet, you shouldn't have a problem. We seem to have a lot of Indian drivers immigrating to Aus to drive so there is a shortage. Sydney is a cool place to live but very expensive, the further out of the city, the cheaper. Brisbane is warmer and the cost of living is better. Either city is cool Coffs Harbour is a cool place with a nice climate with one of Australia's largest privately own truckin company, based there. Lindsay Bros are a big outfit that run the east coast from Queensland to Victoria and beyond.
Coffs Harbour NSW is a great small coastal city, Lindsay Truck company originated out of here & is now a big company on the east coast think their companies head office though is now in Brisbane (Qld) although they still have their depo etc here in Coffs... anyway keep this company in mind if you should ever get over here... www.kenworth.com.au/LindsayAustralias300thKenworth
Donovan Lankford Truck driver my word you will get work fast... and the pay is fantastic.. my son in law is a Truck driver he gets over a $1,000 a week... like I said great money in that... Sydney is lovely thats where I lived all my life... But very expensive but being a Truck driver you could afford it easy... hope you do come we dont have many black American people here... like we do have some but not a lot an I dont know why??? But you will love it if you come to Sydney an people will welcome you with open arm's... where very down to earth people... But you will get work fast.. wish you all the best for your future :)
Some of these comments 🙄 Very informative, thank you so much for sharing your experience in Perth, Australia. I hope all goes well for you there. God bless. Peace, love and light. ✌🏾☮❤🌌
te moko o tapuhi there's always going to be racist people in every country. It sucks but it's the truth. However the majority of the country IS NOT RACIST. And um duh. Anyone with whatever history can be Australian. It's a multicultural country.
american black and australian black are from two different backgrounds, the american is discendent from africa and the australian is either native or a pacific/toras strait islander
Ghorda9 there are differences but they also have similar ideals respecting the land a d respect the food traditionally is fish and kangaroo. They traditionally do this to eat and survive.
12:09 "It's not as politically correct as other places (RE: Perth)" I'm black and I dated a British-Australian guy who originated from Perth but lived most of his adult life in London. His mother (who is from Perth, and rarely if ever leaves Perth) said to him when he showed her photos of us on a camping trip: "wow, You're dating a NEGRO" :-D She said it in a smiling/astonished way to him. She has VERY LITTLE EXPOSURE to US/UK/EU/Western political correctness, so bare in mind, THIS is a reality if you're black and traveling to Perth, WA. They have very little exposure to blacks, so they may even call you "coloured," or other outmoded terms. I know I'll have to keep down the sensitivity if I ever want to travel there. Very pleasant video overall though, you do make me want to visit :) Thanks.
YOUR post is a joke. Ive lived in Perth most of my life, never heard anyone refer to a black person as negro or coloured. You are telling people what to expect when travelling to Perth and youve never been. Hope you never do. What a fucking joke.
Perth is not representative of Australia. This is like an Aussie doing a review of Sheffield and comparing it to Melbourne. Young lady you really haven't seen Australia yet.
Perth is a great, chill city. The only thing people generally moan about is that there's "nothing to do", but that's generally because they're too lazy to look.
I think compared to the hundred other videos of people sharing their move to "Australia" based on living in Melbourne or Sydney, it's about time someone did it from Perth :p
No claim that Perth IS Australia. But neither is Melbourne. AND DEFINITELY NOT NOT NOT Sydney!! If you watch these videos especially by Americans, they only seem to go to Sydney. Great place no doubt but lousy weather, few beaches, as good as they may (crowded) be. Too much cliff. Much more Difficult to get around. Much more crime and racial tension. More violence and drugs. More corruption. And Bogun Rubgy League!
There is racism wherever you go unfortunately and it does go both ways. We're not a terribly PC culture here, I think it has gone too far in some circumstances. Each person is different and you can say one thing to one person but not the other. We love a laugh and sometimes we may go a bit far, but remember it is only a joke. Just let us know if we go too far and well wind it back a notch. Of course there are those that just don't have a filter and say what they want. They eventually move on, either bored for no response or told to move on. Much like an internet troll.
Seriously triggered Gorgon. You have missed the whole point, but made my point so poignant. Everyone is different, they interpret things differently. Some people taker offence at seemingly benign remarks where others laugh and continue on. This has always been the case even before PC, but is now even more exacerbated.
Cost of living vs wages is horrendously inadequate. Our cost of living has outstripped our wage increase for a long time and now it's reached bullshit levels. I hear most other countries are better in that regard.
I'm in the southern part of the US and pay just under $30 USD for about a week's worth of groceries. Sometimes it can last two weeks, but it depends on if I buy more produce/vegetables.
Most of the stuff of our that is because you live in Perth. Sydney is running 2 topshops both in the CBD , my niece goes to them.if you are not living in our smallest city if you are living in Sydney or Melbourne William get anything
Is it just me or dose anyone else notice how black women are always smiling and beautiful when they are not in the United States. I am sincerely looking to move dont know where yet.
I'm black from the US and I dream of moving abroad! Its hard being a minority in the states. People put labels and stereotypes on all races and if you dont fit that then your told your "not black, Mexican, Asian " etc. Americans are bitter too! I jut wanna live somewhere where people are humble!
Victoria Australia... Especially... Melbourne... Is a different beast.. The city is fun...very multicultural... But the "Friend culture' is a "thing" that can be hard to break into...their are racists...but they always seem to have a screw loose or a chip on their shoulder...most people are polite and decent...
Sorry I had to turn off the video. I cannot hear you much of the time. The music is too loud. What a shame. I will watch out for further vids from you though 😊🌸
Hi Nancy, the room where you are doing the video has great acoustics. Your audio is extremely clear and you sound very professional. Well done. Thongs: Flip Flops (UK) Jandals (New Zealand). I have just subscribed to our channel. All the best, Robert.
My boyfriend is black and English and I want to bring him to Aus with me. He’s over 30 só can’t get working holiday visa. Did you find it difficult to get the 457 visa? What’s your skill set? What do you recommend?
Hello :-) I got the 457 back in 2011. I think it's called the TSS Visa now. It was fairly straight forward at the time but I'm not sure what it'd be like now. I came as a Recruitment Consultant. I'm now a Permanent Resident and got that via a skills assessment so he could try that if he struggles to find a sponsor. Hope that helps. x
Good video sister l was in Australia for a year l from kent. I loved it man.the food was so fresh it's good life girl.only two thing's making friends was hard and the Sumner was very very hot apart from that Australia is my dream l hope it works out for you god bless you
Right from a well traveled Australian. In Australia we are not obsessed with race ok we are not a PC SJW culture and that’s how we like it we are not racist we treat those how we like to be treated we have very strict immigration laws and they are only getting more strict. Ok 457 visas are going to end this year as we are focusing on our own population. As for coming here to work only educated skilled will be accepted. We are not trying to stop people coming here we just want quality not quantity ok. If you come here and start mouthing off bad things about our military you will not be received well what so ever we love our military and it’s past hence ANZAC day. We’re not interested in the SJW pc bs. The only blacks we have a problem with more so on Melbourne is the suddese that we let in 12000 of them 8000 in jail or have been in jail or deported because they wanted to go all gangster and break the law and break in homes cause violence and crime obviously we do not see all black peoples like that ok and it’s not a race thing it was how those people acted. As for the natives I’m part native as in the aboriginals all Australian bourn are natives do not buy into the leftist propaganda!! We have never ever had slaves ever the I’m not speaking for my self but the natives get everything handed to them for free and it’s not our fault they will not take advantage of the free education they drink them self stupid you also have to understand white people were slaves and brought here against there will in 1788 and NO we are not politically correct ok that is how we are and how we like it it’s not cuckistan here. Immigration I debunked the lies no we will not and won’t ever take in illegals ok we have had no real terror and we intend to keep it that way ok you want to come to my country and live in safety don’t question our laws and immigration laws also it’s not your place to do so when I travel I don’t question your laws or how you do things.
Lenard Malcolm I think you forgot to mention that skin colour is not a race and skin colour doesn't make your race like an aborigine is not the same as an African
Lenard Malcolm your fucking caucasian that's your race not your skin colour and if you want have go at what generation you are I'm 9th generation Australian and if you claiming you are Aboriginal well look at tassie aboriginals they are pale as hell
Lenard Malcolm what I'm getting at is the fact that people think your skin colour makes your race and it doesn't and what I was saying originally was the fact it's not the race which everyone makes a big deal about it's the skin colour and it's tossed around so much that they think it's there race
ZOMG Australian fashion shops are Australian not UK fashion shops. Walk into a shopping centre and there are 30 or 40 pointless overpriced "brand" stores, that are Australian stocking the work of Australian designers for this season. Want some equally meaningless UK brand, There might be one in the CBD, maybe one or two in the suburbs, but there stuff will be last season's, because Australian seasons are normal with Christmas at mid-summer and winter in July.
Shazia Moochlacka it’s not managing very well lol. And Australia is one of the most successful multi ethnic countries in the world. We are very diverse.
Supre is like my favourite store. Yeah I had a few people who thought they were funny with their racial jokes. I worked in myer Perth city . It's true you don't get the same thing in London.
the immigrants who came in the 30s 40s 50s and 60s were also treated with racism. They were accepted because Australia did not have enough of a population growth at the time to sustain economic and infrastructure growth. Initally the only immigrant who were accepted were white due to the white Australia policy but due to a lack of immigrants available we started to accept Itallians and Greeks. The white Australia policy only ended after the arrival of the first boat people from Vietnam in the 1970s. Even now our government accepts plenty of migrants from Anglo Saxon countries like Britain and NZ and South Africa but it is definitely easier to get in if you are the right (white) colour. The right colour comment is the government view certainly not mine. I personally will never understand racism, we are a human race and the only thing that make us different is a chemical in our bodies which gives our skin colour. People do have different cultures however and they should be recognised and celebrated.
Tracey's Happy Place I think it’s more of a cultural thing than skin colour to be honest, why is it considered racist to not want a drastic cultural change. That’s what actually causes people to become racist.
Totally get your sentiment of wanting to get away. London can get very stifling. Enjoyed watching this hun, making me dream of sunny Australia 😜 BTW Im having trouble watching some of your recent videos. Keeps saying video not available 😭😭😭
Hey :-) Thanks hun. Yeah, London sometimes can beat the life out of you (Yes, I'm dramatic...). Is it the Red and Gold Iggy video? YT doesn't like it because of the music I used :-/ I will re-edit and re-upload it without the music. Thanks for the heads up.xxx
Yeh Im from Perth, moved to London for 5 years and that city is hard, especially if you're in low paying work. I love the culture and the people you meet but the affordability is stifling and the people, theres just constantly people and noise. I moved back to Australia and tried Melbourne. Its an awesome city, but im just shy of 10 years here and its starting to get a bit too much like London for me so Im making the move back to Perth soon. I guess the older you get the less you care about being in the middle of the coolest, hippest place in the world. Perth has tones to do so it'll be nice, and I love Fremantle (20km from Perth city and by the beach) so am looking forward to a more laidback lifestyle. Good for the mental health.
Miss Nancy probably doesn't mean to be, but saying that someone who may not say the politically correct comment "doesn't know better" sounds very patronising. Of course there is racist people in Australia, like every country, but we are not a racist country. If you are a decent person and respect others here, Australians generally will treat you the same, irrespective of race or colour.
Political correctness is a form of restricting free speech. It's not good always worrying about what you say upseting someone because before too long we'll totally loose the ability to talk about really important issues, we'll be reduced to a society of small talk.
Sure, the main job board here is seek.com.au I'd also suggest following company LinkedIn pages as the recruiters often look at people that are interested in them first when headhunting. Good luck :-)
To the dear commentators on this page who can't seem to discuss without aggressive expletives - if your statements are intended to make a serious point , then don't you know that you lose your argument once you start swearing ? No, I don't suppose you do know.
Hate to say but you lose your argument with the swearing bit ,we swear all of the time we don't feel the need to comply with 1950s standards. Swearing is as natural as breathing to most of us ,from judges to junkies we all do it.
@@paulpowell7424 I'm sorry for you then. And who is ' WE' ~ there are plenty of people who don't swear, and certainly not when they're trying to make an intelligent point.
Surely u should have noticed we have African-Australian's here, As well as Asian-Australian's and all others from across the world raised in Australia,
Azo-Dye Vernichtung Actually I've met and even made friends with some, Cause we accept people from all over the world as a free country, That "no such thing" u must believe about us, is no more than a stereotype
Do you respect pedestrian lights these days? From what I saw, people in Britain simply waggled their arses at them. I seriously don't know why the people who erect traffic lights in Britain even bother with pedestrian lights because no one other than foreigners actually obeys them. It ground my gears and irritated the fuck out of me.
Thank you guys for all the feedback on this video!! Sorry the music was so loud and annoying. I'll certainly make an updated version so if there are any questions you want answered on my life here, please comment and I'll collate and answer them. x
I guess I'm kind of off topic but do anybody know of a good place to stream new movies online ?
@Trent Miles Ehh try flixportal. You can find it through google:P -ayaan
I went to Australia to study abroad there for 3 months as a black female and honestly I was so glad that nobody ever said anything racist towards me. I was treated nicely over there! Down in the Gold Coast :) ❤️

Your music was so loud. It drowned out much of what you were saying.
Thanks for the feedback 😊 I’ll amend it for future videos x
Angela Goode you would THINK she would have watch her video and noticed that ( smh )
For Coco Love: It's difficult to pick up mistakes/things that could be improved in your own work. That's why if you are writing something important it is always a good idea to get someone else to check it before you start printing or hit the "send" button.
Angela Goode intelligence
Lovely video Nancy, you look so pretty.
Am so happy you did this video, you know I 've asked you before what living in Australia is like. I have a better understanding of Australia now, am glad you pointed out about being open and maybe not too sensitive. I think that is the most important thing when planning to move to a different country.
I can't wait for your love story video!!!
Thank you so much Johnnel!! I recorded it a couple of weeks ago but was so nervous about mis-representing the country that it took me a while to upload it. Sorry it took me so long to make it - I'm really glad you found it useful :-)
Yes - I will do a video on my relationship story. Lol. It's SO embarrassing but it's a big part of what brought me to Australia so kinda ties into everything. I think I'll take a few shots before I sit down to record that one. Lol.

You have such an amazing and open minded attitude - I think you would do great moving to ANY country.

Self censorship is a form of dishonesty, because it forces you to be constantly talking in guarded language full of euphenisms, buzzwords, managerial wafflewords and Newspeak.
I'll leave that kind of rubbish to the frightened morons working in a boring office job, or to politicians trying to cover their arse.

Chet youbetya 🤣🤣🤣
This was quite helpful. thank you. Great that you are also a fellow british person. I am exploring places I want to consider living for a better weather and quality of life. Not sure I will fit all the criteria, however having dome idea of what skills are needed in the job market helps. Im exploring if moving to Austarlia is feasible, if one is not being sponsored. Im a single person who is 36. Not the best CV I guess but I do have a degree and really want to work and to get a feel for the place.

I love being Australian it makes me so proud

Some of these comments 🙄
Very informative, thank you so much for sharing your experience in Perth, Australia. I hope all goes well for you there. God bless. Peace, love and light.
✌🏾☮❤🌌
Thank you :-)
Um... Just saying Aborigines who are very indeed black. (The natives)
Please do your history.
Joanne Batts are you saying that australians as a whole are accepting of black people? Like how you accept the people of the dream time?
te moko o tapuhi there's always going to be racist people in every country. It sucks but it's the truth. However the majority of the country IS NOT RACIST.
And um duh. Anyone with whatever history can be Australian. It's a multicultural country.
american black and australian black are from two different backgrounds, the american is discendent from africa and the australian is either native or a pacific/toras strait islander
Ghorda9 there are differences but they also have similar ideals respecting the land a d respect the food traditionally is fish and kangaroo. They traditionally do this to eat and survive.
Luba Nkiwane ~ Why? Just why would you say such an idiotic remark like that? You don't make sense at all.
You probably left London because the weather absolutely SUCKS...either it's Cold..or raining...or cloudy..or all three.
Great Move to Aussie!!
If you move to Perth and expect it to be London, you're in for a big disappointment.
That’d be like comparing apples and oranges
Great video but the background music is too loud
Sorry I didnt get to the end.. The music was too much. Hard to hear you over it as well.
Good information but it was bot at all easy hearing you over the music. Stay safe and blessed.
12:09 "It's not as politically correct as other places (RE: Perth)" I'm black and I dated a British-Australian guy who originated from Perth but lived most of his adult life in London. His mother (who is from Perth, and rarely if ever leaves Perth) said to him when he showed her photos of us on a camping trip: "wow, You're dating a NEGRO" :-D She said it in a smiling/astonished way to him. She has VERY LITTLE EXPOSURE to US/UK/EU/Western political correctness, so bare in mind, THIS is a reality if you're black and traveling to Perth, WA. They have very little exposure to blacks, so they may even call you "coloured," or other outmoded terms. I know I'll have to keep down the sensitivity if I ever want to travel there. Very pleasant video overall though, you do make me want to visit :) Thanks.
YOUR post is a joke. Ive lived in Perth most of my life, never heard anyone refer to a black person as negro or coloured. You are telling people what to expect when travelling to Perth and youve never been. Hope you never do. What a fucking joke.
I'm actually moving my resident out of the United States to Australia hopefully by the end of this year.
i think if you just upload this video again with the back ground audio to at least 1/4 it is here.
I bet it will get double views
Perth is not representative of Australia. This is like an Aussie doing a review of Sheffield and comparing it to Melbourne. Young lady you really haven't seen Australia yet.
Perth is a great, chill city. The only thing people generally moan about is that there's "nothing to do", but that's generally because they're too lazy to look.
She did say at the beginning she is doing a perspective from Perth, why are you nit picking? Grow up
I think compared to the hundred other videos of people sharing their move to "Australia" based on living in Melbourne or Sydney, it's about time someone did it from Perth :p
No claim that Perth IS Australia. But neither is Melbourne. AND DEFINITELY NOT NOT NOT Sydney!! If you watch these videos especially by Americans, they only seem to go to Sydney. Great place no doubt but lousy weather, few beaches, as good as they may (crowded) be. Too much cliff. Much more Difficult to get around. Much more crime and racial tension. More violence and drugs. More corruption. And Bogun Rubgy League!
There is racism wherever you go unfortunately and it does go both ways. We're not a terribly PC culture here, I think it has gone too far in some circumstances. Each person is different and you can say one thing to one person but not the other. We love a laugh and sometimes we may go a bit far, but remember it is only a joke. Just let us know if we go too far and well wind it back a notch. Of course there are those that just don't have a filter and say what they want. They eventually move on, either bored for no response or told to move on. Much like an internet troll.
David yes, racism is everywhere in all cultures, EVERYWHERE!!
Seriously triggered Gorgon. You have missed the whole point, but made my point so poignant. Everyone is different, they interpret things differently. Some people taker offence at seemingly benign remarks where others laugh and continue on. This has always been the case even before PC, but is now even more exacerbated.
David well it’s a good thing Australian is not a PC SJW shit hole.
Gorgon Don then leave and or don’t come here if you don’t like it a big fuck off it’s that simple
Gorgon Don you sound so educated don’t you ?? Having a few problems in the IQ department with all your big words.?
You know, it's good not to be politically correct. If you are a good person you will be fine.
Or kind person
There’s actually a large African Australian population that live around specific suburbs , more where most ethnics live :)
I don't know how I came across your channel but I love your vibe!
Subscribed!

That's really kind of you :-) Thank you!!x
Y, y do people put background music in a video where they r talking.
Cost of living vs wages is horrendously inadequate. Our cost of living has outstripped our wage increase for a long time and now it's reached bullshit levels. I hear most other countries are better in that regard.
Perth is beautiful, safe and friendly. Proud West Aussie here😁
Grocery shopping for $50 a week? You must not eat very much lol
Yeah i thought that was too low too, but maybe Perth is just cheaper than Sydney. Well I know it is but by how much i'm not sure.
I'm in the southern part of the US and pay just under $30 USD for about a week's worth of groceries. Sometimes it can last two weeks, but it depends on if I buy more produce/vegetables.
Most of the stuff of our that is because you live in Perth. Sydney is running 2 topshops both in the CBD , my niece goes to them.if you are not living in our smallest city if you are living in Sydney or Melbourne William get anything
Uh, this was made 4 years ago
Is it just me or dose anyone else notice how black women are always smiling and beautiful when they are not in the United States. I am sincerely looking to move dont know where yet.
look at the top 10 happiest countries.
I'm black from the US and I dream of moving abroad! Its hard being a minority in the states. People put labels and stereotypes on all races and if you dont fit that then your told your "not black, Mexican, Asian " etc. Americans are bitter too! I jut wanna live somewhere where people are humble!
Kayla Schregardus I noticed that whole there. So many toxic people. Terrible place to be black.
@@kaylaschregardus4062 I'm American and grew up in a majority black city. It's plenty of cities or neighborhoods u can move to that's majority black
Victoria Australia... Especially... Melbourne... Is a different beast..
The city is fun...very multicultural... But the "Friend culture' is a "thing" that can be hard to break into...their are racists...but they always seem to have a screw loose or a chip on their shoulder...most people are polite and decent...
Sorry I had to turn off the video. I cannot hear you much of the time. The music is too loud. What a shame.
I will watch out for further vids from you though 😊🌸
Hi Nancy, the room where you are doing the video has great acoustics. Your audio is extremely clear and you sound very professional. Well done. Thongs: Flip Flops (UK) Jandals (New Zealand). I have just subscribed to our channel. All the best, Robert.
Yay Perth. Pretty girl. It's just the boguns that you really have to worry about with the PC stuff.
You come across as a lovely person....Im sure you will be an asset to Australia.
My boyfriend is black and English and I want to bring him to Aus with me. He’s over 30 só can’t get working holiday visa.
Did you find it difficult to get the 457 visa? What’s your skill set? What do you recommend?
Hello :-) I got the 457 back in 2011. I think it's called the TSS Visa now. It was fairly straight forward at the time but I'm not sure what it'd be like now. I came as a Recruitment Consultant. I'm now a Permanent Resident and got that via a skills assessment so he could try that if he struggles to find a sponsor. Hope that helps. x
Piss the background music off, or turn it down.
Good video sister l was in Australia for a year l from kent. I loved it man.the food was so fresh it's good life girl.only two thing's making friends was hard and the Sumner was very very hot apart from that Australia is my dream l hope it works out for you god bless you
Aboriginals would be able to tell you first hand, what they think about invasion & immigration..
@@dudeman5234 obvious troll is obvious..
A black women with an Engish accent ....awww I fell in love
Right from a well traveled Australian. In Australia we are not obsessed with race ok we are not a PC SJW culture and that’s how we like it we are not racist we treat those how we like to be treated we have very strict immigration laws and they are only getting more strict. Ok 457 visas are going to end this year as we are focusing on our own population. As for coming here to work only educated skilled will be accepted.
We are not trying to stop people coming here we just want quality not quantity ok.
If you come here and start mouthing off bad things about our military you will not be received well what so ever we love our military and it’s past hence ANZAC day. We’re not interested in the SJW pc bs. The only blacks we have a problem with more so on Melbourne is the suddese that we let in 12000 of them 8000 in jail or have been in jail or deported because they wanted to go all gangster and break the law and break in homes cause violence and crime obviously we do not see all black peoples like that ok and it’s not a race thing it was how those people acted. As for the natives I’m part native as in the aboriginals all Australian bourn are natives do not buy into the leftist propaganda!! We have never ever had slaves ever the I’m not speaking for my self but the natives get everything handed to them for free and it’s not our fault they will not take advantage of the free education they drink them self stupid you also have to understand white people were slaves and brought here against there will in 1788 and NO we are not politically correct ok that is how we are and how we like it it’s not cuckistan here. Immigration I debunked the lies no we will not and won’t ever take in illegals ok we have had no real terror and we intend to keep it that way ok you want to come to my country and live in safety don’t question our laws and immigration laws also it’s not your place to do so when I travel I don’t question your laws or how you do things.
Lenard Malcolm I think you forgot to mention that skin colour is not a race and skin colour doesn't make your race like an aborigine is not the same as an African
Dan Jacob and what exactly do you mean by that ???? Let me guess because I am white I am not a native Australian well I am I am 6th gen Australian
Lenard Malcolm your fucking caucasian that's your race not your skin colour and if you want have go at what generation you are I'm 9th generation Australian and if you claiming you are Aboriginal well look at tassie aboriginals they are pale as hell
Dan Jacob wtf ?? Yer I’m white and ?? What are you getting at ??
Lenard Malcolm what I'm getting at is the fact that people think your skin colour makes your race and it doesn't and what I was saying originally was the fact it's not the race which everyone makes a big deal about it's the skin colour and it's tossed around so much that they think it's there race
ZOMG Australian fashion shops are Australian not UK fashion shops. Walk into a shopping centre and there are 30 or 40 pointless overpriced "brand" stores, that are Australian stocking the work of Australian designers for this season. Want some equally meaningless UK brand, There might be one in the CBD, maybe one or two in the suburbs, but there stuff will be last season's, because Australian seasons are normal with Christmas at mid-summer and winter in July.
Why does everyone think it’s racist.
Come to America! It’s very beautiful and diverse here
Shazia Moochlacka Australia is very diverse and doesn’t have half the problems America does.
Brent Baker Not As diverse as America it’s not. And the problems are not unmanageable
Shazia Moochlacka it’s not managing very well lol. And Australia is one of the most successful multi ethnic countries in the world. We are very diverse.
Brent Baker as is America. And it is managing very well depending on where u r. Most of Australia is ugly desert
Shazia Moochlacka shows you don’t know much about Australia and very little about America. You had 2 hate crime shootings today.
Supre is like my favourite store. Yeah I had a few people who thought they were funny with their racial jokes. I worked in myer Perth city . It's true you don't get the same thing in London.
Ahh nice :-) Do you still live in Perth? I love Myer! I spend far too much money there but that's an entirely different story x
MissNancyLondon no I'm back in the UK now. I discuss a few things regarding oz on my channel.
Hope you are still here. Hope you are happy! Forget the colour issue. Be a good person and nobody judges your Religion, Culture or skin colour.
Perth is a small city. Most of what you say doesn't apply to Sydney or Melbourne
How did you get there ? Did you drive? How long did it take ? Do you need alot of money to live there?
Wanted to watch this but background music is getting to me
Honestly, the music at the background is just too loud making it hard to filter through what you are saying. It gave me such headache
The population of PERTH is over 2 Million. Small yeah .. maybe but .. STILL 2 Million.
We only want people who want to contribute and make this country better. Like immigranrs who came here in the 50's 60's 70's.
Well, these sorts usually care about making their own lives better mate.
the immigrants who came in the 30s 40s 50s and 60s were also treated with racism. They were accepted because Australia did not have enough of a population growth at the time to sustain economic and infrastructure growth. Initally the only immigrant who were accepted were white due to the white Australia policy but due to a lack of immigrants available we started to accept Itallians and Greeks. The white Australia policy only ended after the arrival of the first boat people from Vietnam in the 1970s. Even now our government accepts plenty of migrants from Anglo Saxon countries like Britain and NZ and South Africa but it is definitely easier to get in if you are the right (white) colour. The right colour comment is the government view certainly not mine. I personally will never understand racism, we are a human race and the only thing that make us different is a chemical in our bodies which gives our skin colour. People do have different cultures however and they should be recognised and celebrated.
Tracey's Happy Place I think it’s more of a cultural thing than skin colour to be honest, why is it considered racist to not want a drastic cultural change. That’s what actually causes people to become racist.
@@newshound2521 Wrong, Europeans like Italians and surrounding areas were also given a very hard time
How to date an Australia man from us? Do you have any website suggestions please?
G'day just a quick one are you still living in this great place called Perth? I wouldn't live anywhere else.
Thank you for sharing this video. I'm studying my major in china. Let me know how I can find a scholarship for Australia
Totally get your sentiment of wanting to get away. London can get very stifling. Enjoyed watching this hun, making me dream of sunny Australia 😜 BTW Im having trouble watching some of your recent videos. Keeps saying video not available 😭😭😭
Hey :-) Thanks hun. Yeah, London sometimes can beat the life out of you (Yes, I'm dramatic...). Is it the Red and Gold Iggy video? YT doesn't like it because of the music I used :-/ I will re-edit and re-upload it without the music. Thanks for the heads up.xxx
Yeh Im from Perth, moved to London for 5 years and that city is hard, especially if you're in low paying work. I love the culture and the people you meet but the affordability is stifling and the people, theres just constantly people and noise. I moved back to Australia and tried Melbourne. Its an awesome city, but im just shy of 10 years here and its starting to get a bit too much like London for me so Im making the move back to Perth soon. I guess the older you get the less you care about being in the middle of the coolest, hippest place in the world. Perth has tones to do so it'll be nice, and I love Fremantle (20km from Perth city and by the beach) so am looking forward to a more laidback lifestyle. Good for the mental health.
My love, very informative video but music too loud cant really hear or understand anything.
Miss Nancy probably doesn't mean to be, but saying that someone who may not say the politically correct comment "doesn't know better" sounds very patronising. Of course there is racist people in Australia, like every country, but we are not a racist country. If you are a decent person and respect others here, Australians generally will treat you the same, irrespective of race or colour.
All of these pretty women are popping up in my recommended lol, I think they have my genre wrong 😀
Kinda racist
Australia IS Black!
My ancestors settled here 70,000 years ago.
is the U.S. dollar higher than the Australian?
It is
1 aud is 0.76 usd
mako oh it's about the same as Canada
yes, but at one point a few years ago it was higher
Perth 4th biggest city in Australia with a population approaching 2 000 000 not really that small .
Glad to see you've done your homework but it's still a relatively small city
You can travel the world and won't get away from yourself, trying to find the white est blonde, blue eyed man won't make you any different.
Music is way too loud!!!
Political correctness is a form of restricting free speech. It's not good always worrying about what you say upseting someone because before too long we'll totally loose the ability to talk about really important issues, we'll be reduced to a society of small talk.
I like the video alot very informative but the music is too loud and i couldn't understand some parts. :(
Anony Moose Aw I'm so sorry. Let me know what bits you missed and I'll gladly help
where did you get your necklace?
where should I move in Australia which city more affordable and chances of getting a good job
I love your opinions and I love you I'll put out there but if you eliminate your music and your baby to be under stood
Thanks for your post. Any ideas how to go about applying for jobs as a foreigner?
Sure, the main job board here is seek.com.au I'd also suggest following company LinkedIn pages as the recruiters often look at people that are interested in them first when headhunting. Good luck :-)
i wouldnt bother unless you can fund your self, there no jobs even for their own people
I'm guessing she hasn't been to Melbourne or Sydney
Is it hard to find jobs there?
Sis please can i change my visit Visa to work Visa in Australia or can i get work permit in Australia
u said the food is good in perth? the food in london must be absolutely fucking rubbish (im from perth)
To the dear commentators on this page who can't seem to discuss without aggressive expletives - if your statements are intended to make a serious point , then don't you know that you lose your argument once you start swearing ? No, I don't suppose you do know.
Hate to say but you lose your argument with the swearing bit ,we swear all of the time we don't feel the need to comply with 1950s standards. Swearing is as natural as breathing to most of us ,from judges to junkies we all do it.
@@paulpowell7424 I'm sorry for you then. And who is ' WE' ~ there are plenty of people who don't swear, and certainly not when they're trying to make an intelligent point.
Really good video, but I think u rambled
Surely u should have noticed we have African-Australian's here,
As well as Asian-Australian's and all others from across the world raised in Australia,
No such thing, you're either african or Australian. There is no in between.
Azo-Dye Vernichtung
Actually I've met and even made friends with some,
Cause we accept people from all over the world as a free country,
That "no such thing" u must believe about us,
is no more than a stereotype
I would glad to live there wit my kid am a single mom
I love you AUSTRALIAN
Music is too loud😒
Do you respect pedestrian lights these days?
From what I saw, people in Britain simply waggled their arses at them. I seriously don't know why the people who erect traffic lights in Britain even bother with pedestrian lights because no one other than foreigners actually obeys them.
It ground my gears and irritated the fuck out of me.
hmmmmm you need to move to sydney. it's a totally different culture in Sydney it's not as laid back as perth
Music too loud and annoying lovie🤷🏼♀️
You do realise that London is a world city, Perth, not so much?
do you know of any work sponsors
The beginning was funny😂😂😂 change of head size
Putting the words "Being black" with a sad face thumbnail will at the very least get you 56k youtube views. Not all bad!
