Yup a nanny state 100%. Also be prepared to do not much. If you take out the cafe’s and Oprah house there is not much left unless you like bush walks. Also high taxes = high prices with everything uncompetitive worldwide. High power bills to.
Each country has its pros and cons.. I loved all 8 yrs of my life in WA as it was quiet, peaceful and layback if you are staying in a friendly neighbourhood. It is slightly different in Sydney and Melbourne as it is quite similar to how it is back in my home country which also fast-paced and high-stress work-life with little or no social life. I guess we will need to adapt to the country which we decide to move to and see if it is suitable to the kind of life you would like to live in.
WA sure is peaceful, kinda boring if you live there long enough
@@kevyato1599 nothing boring about WA, fantastic place
@@kevyato1599 that is why you travel interstate or international then there will be balance and also life is how you want it to be like.
@@nicolastubborn9033 yup i agree.. travel up north during the winter for a road trip or travel down south to enjoy nature and the sea.
@M G I guess that depends on which state and if you have relatives and friends living in Aus. I don't find it emotionally cold as we can always meet and make new friends. Also, relatives are a call or drive away.
I think friendly but not friends definitely applies to the US also (especially the south), to us Europeans it’s amazing how y’all love to talk to strangers and it can seem amazing at first until after years, you can count the number of American friends in one hand.
The South in the USA is 100 percent friendly and full of nice people... until you get down near South Florida and the attitudes.
In a way, it depends on you attitude and preconceptions, as well. But that is life.
BTW Australia is great, never had any problems and tons of fun for years- apparently things are a bit different nowadays, though. I'd still return once everything settles down.
Living in Germany, I can relate with hard to make friends, too many rules and slow internet....
As a foreigners, it's harder to make friends in any country I think.
As an Aussie I always find it easy to make friends in Japan, China, Romania, and Georgia off the top of my head. And it's easy to meet people in a bunch of other countries where we haven't really stayed in touch over the years. But I've always been a traveller rather than an expat or an immigrant and that might make a difference.
@@andrewdunbar828 as an aussie it's also easy for me to make mates in UK, US, Canada and other english speaking countries for example i don't find it so hard
You won't find a better county to find mate than Aus. Some think Australia is racist, but it's just a huge multicultural place. We take the piss, make joke about each other, but it's all in fun.
@@OzPozzy278 we're pretty close yes. Same culture really hey.
@@OzPozzy278 not sure about mate, a lot of Kiwi's move to Australia a lot. Maybe aussie health system just get us across the line. Kiwi's have great sense of humour but👍. Fresh water fishing, you guy win that too.
The whole "friendly but not friends" thing is the same in most places on the planet, not just Australia
women are far more extroverted than men because they are so much more group dependent because of their phyiology. as a result i think they find it much easier to make friends and blend in than men. i think for that reason females are often the most gung ho travelers in the world.
very very true
Real friendships take time.
I disagree, Australians are in general vapid.
Well I never made friends in this stupid country because everyone is rude to me. and I'm fed up with young people here. And I hate their accents as well. I wasn't even born here. (I live here involuntary because of parents)
So true Australians are not friends, they only are friends with their own kind, unless they are wasted. One of the things I miss from Europe is my social life, the few Australian friends that I have I need to book them 4 months in advance as they don’t have time for YOU but see them socialising every weekend on social media. One of the things I’ve noticed also is that are not very open and have a very backward mind. Australians that have lived abroad are a different kind, as they already have that open mindset, but if you trying to be friends with someone who was has never left Australia, good luck 😉😂
Totally agree, being an immigrant aussie after 15 years, I don’t see myself living there for my future career advancement. People or the system don’t seem to support any new idea or personal growth much.
As an Italian-Australian born and raised in Sydney I totally agree. White Anglo Australians have no interest in being your friend, they just stick to their own kind. Australian government is happy for us to keep working like slaves so they can tax & fleece us as much as possible. It’s all a scam.
To say they are friends with their own kind is totally unfair. Being Anglo-indian I have many close native born Australian friends (and not just white) and that I know will have my back. With Aussies true friendships start with connection...you need to find something to connect on at a deeper level. They are not obliged to be your friend just because you are from another country, but they won't be disrespectful about it.
As a Thai Brit living in Brisbane I agree with all of these points! But I still love it here
its a police state now.
It always was.. real Australians know our history.
Oh boo fuckin hoo mate everyone's been saying that in every country in the western world since world war 2 calm down yeah
at least better than Thailand.
Yes, this is getting insane!

I don't think you idiots know what a police state is
I thought one of the reasons would be the lockdowns!
Probably made the video a while ago ?
@@MrZZsharka Yes but riots and crazy government should be on the list
@@forposterity4031 riots? Say sike now 🙃
same
thats the 6th reason
Australia not only has New Zealand, you guys are also pretty near some very beautiful countries like Fiji and Bora Bora too :)
Wow lol
We can’t just swim to New Zealand lmao
😂😂😂🤦🏻♀️ smh. New Zealand is a different country 💀
New Zealand is a totally different country. Mate.😡🇦🇺
Can we speak again about THE BIG BANANA?😂😂😂😂😂😂 My next trip will be Australia just to discover this,until 5 minutes ago for me,unknown wonder hahahaha
Number one reason : for not being constantly on lockdown.
7:46 lol
But they work
@@skylarashwell1357 They only appear to work due the fact Australia is way out of the way from everywhere else and is not an Asian culture as well as the fact there is only 25 million spread out over a whole continent. It also depends if Australia is a major center of trade or not. All this applies even more to New Zealand.
@@abby9435 Lockdown ruins people's lives or make them lonely and they kiIl themselves. Lockdown for a mild disease is just an exercise in compliance which some people like to romanticize like you do.
As an Australian, I can say it's fucking annoying.
In my opinion, immigrants from third world countries could be happy in Australia, no matter what.
But, immigrants from first world countries like Canada and UK may not be happy to move to Australia. If they do they might probably return.
I know two families that emigrated to Australia on PR visa from UK have returned to UK after six months.
Cos it's very hot in Straya?
I know quite a few English people and one Canadian who moved to Australia and never regretted it. But I can also think of one English guy I knew who only lasted a couple of years in Sydney and moved back. But it's definitely a thing. I also know a couple of Germans and a couple of Italians that moved here in the last ten years or so and are still here.
@@andrewdunbar828 despite i've never been to Europe and North America i think Australia is better than the rest of the world maybe that's why even people from 1st world countries want to move and live here
@@andrewdunbar828 I see
What a joke. Do you have any idea of how many people emigrate from UK to Australia and stay? and because you know two people who returned then its a terrible idea.
The tall poppy syndrome is a real thing and I'm glad you brought it up. I don't know why Australia doesn't value anything innovative or creative. Maybe to do with its convict past? Anyway, it's one of the reasons why I left.
Sad whats happened to Australia. My whole outlook on Australia has changed this year.
Good. Dont come here
@@dreamydisaster good we won't 😂
@@hs961 tq poo
@lovelyxeliza #tysmfor100 don’t worry, nobody wants too lol
@@dreamydisaster dont kid yourself mate Australia is slowly becoming a shit hole and a police state
I completely agree.
I have lived in Australia all my life.
I lived in Australia for 4 years and everything you are saying make sense, I have no plans to turn back to Australia.
Is it really that bad?
@@justlaz1444 racism is rampant
@@AhriGames Racism is rampant? In Australia? Bullshit.
@@AhriGames is that true? aww man..
@@kcharles8857 Says us. Unless the immigrant is white.
I've grown up here but I totally agree with you about the nanny state. When my dad was growing up you could do all those things that are now illegal. Heck some of the things he did back then would get you shot now, like blowing up the neighbourhood letterboxes with double bungers 😂
Australian government is scary. I will never go to that prison island.
WTF are you talking about, we are not a prison, we are a wonderful place, I don't know what your teachers told you at school, but if anything America is much worse, 3,500 people have died in America this year alone to gun violence, and its not even the end of the year
@@nathanbrooks4546 died free not as slaves! Australia is a dictatorship! It's sad what's happening to Australia. No freedom just tyranny.
At least we have our guns 💪🏽
@@babyhousewifee You say that like its a good thing that 3,500 people have been killed by gun violence this year alone
Dear Jeremiah: As everyone knows, Australia was the default penal colony option when the UK could no longer send convicts to America. That was how it all began. Most of the pre-colonials were British convicted of various crimes that imposed their forced resettlement. Notice I said "forced", because they were. Nobody forced the Pilgrim Fathers to resettle in America, though, they went of their own free will & volition.
Allow me to comment: friendship is never something that actually "happens". If one looks for people with similar interests via clubs, community centers or else - then, affinity will lead to friendship in time . This is a universal law
Good video. As a Thai have been living here for 13 years I love everything about Australia. I love rules and it’s awesome that people are follow the rules. I love paying tax that I can see my tax goes to good park, kids playground, good road, good welfare. I love doing the right thing that doing the right thing might be hard in Thailand but it’s easy doing right thing in Australia. Everything is good. I’m so proud to became an Australian.
are you allowed to go outside?
@@bigrunts9768 depend where you are. We live in far North Queensland, no lock down here.
How did you immigrate to Australia ? I would love to live there.
@@celiomorais6357 married an Aussie. Good luck😉
@@nooring2111 we welcome you into our society as well as long as your happy were happy rember that as the Australian rule
I live in South West London and the aussies I've met here over the years are also friendly but not friends....most only really hang out with other aussies or sometimes kiwis, live in houseshares with other aussies and, pre covid, spent their free time either travelling or out drinking at the Australian bars (before they closed). They don't tend to want to know anyone outside of their clique.
This is why i decided against going to aus on a working holiday visa...and I'm glad that I did!
I lived in London 20 years ago, for 4 years, and I sort of see what you mean about some of, not all of, the people in London which came up there from down under (and even then, I heard from people how the Aussies and Kiwis living in London aren't all the same as they are back in their home land). I don't know how much has changed since around 2000, but when you mentioned them not wanting to know anyone outside their clique, I remember going to a New Zealand run bar/pub somewhere near Clapham, and the NZ girls working there had a really snobby attitude. I'm not saying that I think New Zealanders, or Aussies, are like that in general, because I've met people from both those places elsewhere who were nice
Don’t the Brit’s own Australia and New Zealand?… You would think that they would have better manners living in the mother country!
While it may be true, i think coming here to work is a full experience as you get to travel and see the country. And once you meet a couple people they are great, so dont close yourself off opposite based on a few people you meet.
@@aheat3036 no they dont “own” us. Please educate yourself
@@ajp9410 Yeah, Australia was a British empire, it was a dominion of the British empire until 1949. And in 1986, Australia broke all remaining constitutional ties with Britain with the passing of the Australia Act. So no, Britain doesn't "own" Australia
actually, Papua New Guinea is the closest country to Australia, the Torres strait islands are owned by Australia and some f the islands you can physically see Papua new guinea.
Tall poppy is definitely a thing in AUS. Its the reason I only lived there for a year.
Agreed, but interested to know why you think it's such a thing? I think maybe it has something to do with our convict past but am having trouble drawing any conclusions.
i went to oz 4 times and when we got back to the uk we realised we never had a conversation with anyone we weren't giving a dollar two compared to usa eu where we would get invited to parties within hours
Well, I lived for over 20 years. 1 year each country.
In Australia I was In God coast for over year... Alice Springs for 2 years and now I am back to Europe and I still talk with my friends. It was the best country. For me it felt home. I would love to be back
for the australian friends, you can make a lot of foreigners friends in australia. For the fine tickets, just pay them nothing will happen. The internet was defently ok, ethernet is always an option in case. For the trips, just visit asia after before to go back home actually australia really worth it
What about the tall poppy syndrome?
Another reason: kids being separated from parents in Covid wards.
1 parent is allowed to see their kid
@@eb6552 Agreed, every needs to shut the fuck up about Australia and worry about somebody with covid knocking on your door
They're treating aussies like they don't give a shit about each other
In Singapore, We already have 4 Australians charged for sex offence (This is not Bangkok), Killer litter (killed some1), Assaulted the police at the airport, Drug trafficking (heroin, executed). Please behave yourself when you're outside your borders.
Isn't the number one reason because gestapos have taken over and the people are being subdued and beaten in the streets because they are not allowed to watch sunsets?
Wait, are people actually being beaten for that?
@@amarisayshello No lol the only people are being beaten are dummies with abit too much meth in their system trying to fight the police at violent protests that they started champ you really shouldn't listen to the news
I'm an Indonesian born US citizen and while I have not lived in other countries (except the 20 years in the US and now Indonesia), I'd guess that foreigners making friends in another country is difficult anywhere. Took me easily about 10 years from hating my life in the US to finally started establishing friendships (with my 'fellow American's), quite a few I still keep in pretty frequent contact till today and we'd make time to hang out when I do my annual visit to the US..I even stay at one of my friend's house during my visit it's a blessing to have them as friends. I think it's probably different if it was reversed a non-Asian tourist living in an Asian country probably easier to make friends with the local vs the other way around. My experience also as an international student in the US, it was easier to make friends with Japanese students, they're the most open and always interested in learning other cultures...and I'm sorry, but Koreans were the most exclusive of all, next to the Germans and the French. One of my good friends also was from the UAE, but sadly this was way before facebook, etc so he managed to give me a call back in the mid 90s but we lost contact after that. Ironically I find it way harder now for me as an Indonesian to start new friendships in Jakarta...people seem to be very money oriented, usually establishing connections due to a business opportunity in mind.
Hey I'm glad I found ur comment. I was born in Indo, went to australia for study & was going to pursue their PR, but unfortunately had to go home due to unforeseen circumstances. Just want to say I totally agree when you said making new friends here is hard cause indonesians people (eapecially in Jakarta) are very money-oriented. Luckily I still have my high school friends here, so most of the time I just stick to them, or my uni friends. But hang in there, I'm sure you'll find genuine people. Just need to keep looking, even though it can be tiring..
@@vanessaspatty Good for you. Great that you still have your friends. I never joined any of the 'cliques' in high school so even though occasionally I send them the usual small talk through facebook and Whatsapp groups, but we don't really hang out with each other at all. I am building my own (wine tasting) group and after a month of messaging people through fb i managed to get a few expats and locals to meet up. At the very least it's a fun thing! Well...maybe if I meet any Vanessas in real life, I just ask them hey do you post in youtube comments? Maybe I'll know it's you! lol
Really accurate on every point. I moved to Aus 13 years ago, and while you can make close friends with Ausi's in Melb with a lot of work, I found it impossible. Most of my closest friends in Aus are from overseas, or Ausi's I met overseas.
Melbourne people are the worst. Lost the plot big time its just nuts. Its not you it's them@
@@michellem9525 not as bad as Sydneysiders, cliquiest place on the planet.
God knows why?
You have lived in Australia for 14 years yet cannot Spell Aussies. You are lying
Everything on this list is extremely accurate. For me personally tho the rules you showed examples for( I live in nsw if that helps ) I’ve never experienced, I’ve gone fishing with my uncle lots of times without a license and I’ve Jay walked many times without ever getting a fine. I’m extremely uneducated and some might say sheltered so maybe I’ll need to look into what I can and can’t do in the outside world lol
Watch the video called "10 reasons not to visit New Zealand" by garandhero
I moved here on the 30th of November with Australian wife and this was paradise. 1/4 price land prices. (No fishing licence, no booze buses, no double demerit points)
I opened a musical instrument shop in Gosford. It was simply amazing. A paradise on Earth for biz people.
No GST, no superannuation, no credit cards just well to do musos with cash. They only knew 3 chords on the guitar but made good money. Professional guitar players got half :-)
Where are you?
how bout now? is it still good im planning to move
I live in Brisbane and I love it here. I’m from the U.K. originally but have travelled a lot around Europe. I totally agree with the Australians are friendly but not friends. So easy to say hello to people but very hard to make actual friendships here. Not sure why that is.
Well I never made friends in this stupid country because everyone is rude to me. and I'm fed up with young people here. And I hate their accents as well. I wasn't even born here. (I live here involuntary because of parents)
Also if you're hoping for an economy all you'll find is a massive housing bubble
While I did break my streak of not seeing a snake for many years in Australia recently, I still don't think I've ever met anyone who's been fined for jaywalking here.
I literally saw 3 snakes yesterday
@@tropic2860 He said that he "DID" break his stream, meaning he saw a snake, just to clarify
@@nathanbrooks4546 I know I was just saying I saw 3 yesterday in Australia so he must live in Sydney or Melbourne or some big city
@@tropic2860 Currently living in the Sunshine Coast, so not quite big city but it's getting that way. In the '80s I saw plenty of brown snakes, black snakes, tiger snakes, and one taipan when we had a block of land in the bush east of Melbourne.
@Vittoria I got warned by the police for rollerblading on the road in Brisbane, Melbourne, and Perth but fortunately not fined. (Never in Sydney though.)
Australia is one of the greatest countries on earth. Great climate, lots of opportunities for young people, good housing, good wages, good healthcare, clean air, lots of natural beauty … you’re incredibly lucky if you’re from Australia
That was before Covid. Australia is now a police state where the government can decide if, when and where you will be allowed to go when you leave your home. If you think they will relinquish these new powers, you are dreaming. Your freedoms are gone.
@@ubiquitousdiabolus well I’m not Australian nor do I live there. But I have an Australian friend and I was telling them that the way the Australian government has approached Covid-19 has completely surprised me. Australia has always been known for its no bullshit approach to life, so it’s so surprising to see what’s been going on there !!

Can you tell me how to go to Australia ? I would love to live there.
Umm after covid you might be able to visit Australia on holiday don't know much don't really leave country or you can get a visa to live in Australia for atleast a year which then you can become a citizen hioe this helps
My first vacation in Australia 20 years ago…. I was told by the locals to go home. 20 years later i seen the same thing happened to others…. Sad

Don't spend the $ there. Thailand, stuff is cheaper, people are friendlier, food taste better, women are more feminine.
@@skylarashwell1357 'We aren't that mean' said the person who was a member of the group claimed to have been mean. Wonderful logic... just another example of the constant virtue signaling and inability to accept criticism that characterizes an Australian.

"Australians are friendly but not your friends"
It's more like westerns are! rather than just Australians.
Australia is a western country that just happened to be in the east.

So true. A lot of Asians don't have any Aussie friends even though they have been living in Australia for a long time.
I have to say you are bang on with every point. I’m 30 and have lived all my life in Australia. Something I’ll add is that tall poppy syndrome is worse the smaller the city or town gets
All Australian people who I know they still saying how they are awesome.
Seriously you should live in Japan and you will know how much overrated about yourself.
@@hm2663 So glad to find this comment - both of them - underneath this video. Australians, including the one that made this video, are incredible egocentric and toxic. I am an Australian myself, and it shivers me to my core that Australians just *have* to make everything about themselves, and how special they are for being Australian and how special Australia is. Never been more comfortable and felt more actual friendliness from both people I know well and strangers than when I moved to Germany, which is stereotyped as being 'cold' 😂

@@ThaiTalkwithPaddy I have seen a lot of trash talk about lockdowns and that sort of stuff in the comment section, I tend to ignore that, but when I see a happy comment about the great advantages of Australia, it just puts a smile on my face, because Covid has made people question Australia A LOT! And there really isn't anything bad about whats happening down here!
If you can, please come here around Christmas when the borders start to reopen to internationals without hotel quarantine. Australia is an amazing place for a video, trust me, I have some really cool images and videos of all the places I have bee into around Australia. A great place to film would be the Blue Mountains Valley from Echo Point Lookout, it is absolutely amazing, or at sunset about a kilometer away from Uluru, great pictures everywhere, you can get perfect symmetry clips of the Harbour Bridge, plenty to do, please come for a vid!

Interesting about innovation. Once innovation would have been considered a strength of ours, but now I think of it, it’s usually only out of necessity. There are still some who manage, but we don’t make it easy for anyone 😅
True science, creative arts. Entrepreneurs are all pushed aside for sports and "my" rights. It's insane. Australia is worse than a 3rd world country but they don't know it.
I think our unspoken tourism slogan is "don't come here" The bumper stickers that read F-Off we're full also rings true. We suck at tourism tho. Our service industry does not give a toss about the guests at all. Hence, don't come here applies by default. I get that vibe from so many people from all different walks of life.
We're getting better at integrating our culture regionally but still have a long way to go to ensuring an equality with the custodians of this land. Our shared story needs to evolve and it is, albeit slowly. I'm proud to be born Aussie. I'm the result of one parent not from Australia. Multi-culturism can work here. But the example in paddy's video's are true, people stick with their own brand.
Abroad i've encountered the same thing tho. I was a part of an ex-pat community in Thailand for the first 6 months of this year. Same same.
Anyway great video Paddy.
Multi culturalism WORKS NOWHERE. IT FUCKED THE UNITED STATES UP. IT FUCKED BRAZIL UP.
MULTICULTURALISM IS THE STATE OF THE WORLD AND THE WORLD IS ALWAYS AT WAR.
WHAT YOU WANT IS ASSIMILATION
South Africa was termed the ‘Rainbow Nation’ as an experiment in Multiculturalism.
It’s now a failed State
Multiculturalism has never worked. It is a euphemism for Tribalism which leads to confusion, isolation, paranoia, fear and ultimately reprisals. It also leads to corruption with no sense of a social contract to abate an overarching police state.
As mentioned Assimilation works when numbers can be controlled to small levels of immigration, similar to what we had in Oz from 50s-1990s at 0.4% p/a.
Since 2000 levels have been running at 1.2-.1.4% p/a which is unfathomable when you think about it.
@@sirsillybilly welcome Tanzania it’s peaceful plus we welcome all races here no judgment
Multiculturism cannot work in AU. There's only 1 median of instruction. Abbos get turn away from stores. Any non white immigrant will largely not be accepted by locals even if they speak decent English. Or there will be acts of covert racism, like throwing eggs during the night. Robbing/Assault of international students. The list goes on.
There a big problem with a society when you cannot enter a zara if you don't have the permission of a doctor or police officer asking you what are you going to buy in a grocery store or why you are sitting on a bench in a park. it a good referenced to not want to move there even if it go back one day to normal.

Too many rules? As an American, Australia and Canada both really puzzle me. Both are huge sparsely populated places, yet they tend to have far more rules and regulations than we have here.
Perhaps but try living in either country to learn about the advantages or disadvantages of living there, it can open your perspective.

We DON'T have Jay Walking in Australia. It's called here, Disobeying a traffic signal. If you did that about 110 metres away from the Traffic Light and walked in a straight line like you did in that clip, you wouldn't get booked.
As an Finnish, I’ve been Australia 2 yrs ago and I don’t like this country because too many spiders in the houses or dangerous species, very hot climate, I hate the Australian products and slangs.
I mean you literally come from the other side of the world, your education system is the best in the world but damn it's cold in there
Yes, you are very naïve. I can tell that you haven't yet been outside of Australia and seen it for what it is now. As an Australian that left to travel to the UK in the early in the 2000's and came back to try and live there in 2016 (and left again). There have been many changes and a lot are negative ones. Overpriced food, unaffordable housing and people renting out their bloody "granny flats" for extortionate amounts of money, and the job market is one big scam. The fact that the government has sold out to the Chinese government, and they haven't managed immigration sensibly (allowing capital gain and money to be on top of the agenda) is a big monumental problem and I could see the fallout from that when I came back. It all saddens me really, as I don't feel like I belong in the place I was born anymore. But in saying all of this human kind have hit a brick wall and has officially gone mad, and there isn't much peace to be had anywhere at the moment.
Same everywhere. Shit times upon this great planet and very concerning- unless you are already rich.
Are the drop bears dangerous?
I got a fine in Sydney yesterday of 1000$ for not carrying id and 700 for riding my e scooter, I'm not making this up the place is run by an authoritarianist government
Probs because of all the debt they are in...
Can you flee the country - or is it too late for that?
Like I said before, the bubble burst some while ago. Australia has had its glory days, but the modern-day reality of the swan-song is certainly proving a bitter pill to swallow.
@@TM-tw1py nope nz is shut off to.rest of world
@@lesskeels3417 the government here has let the power go to their heads
Great video mate. Very objective and good pointers to better understand the aussie way 🇮🇳
I love the content especially that 1 to 3 are really true 🤣🤣 too many rules and some are just stupid rules ❤
...you what what is stupid,... you stop criticizing good rules
I totally agree, I am an Australian, lived in Canada and U S many years, have been back here too many. There is no freedom, no entertainment, you are constantly watching for things that you might put a foot wrong when you go out. Everything is inconvenient, especially driving. You have to watch you don't go over the speed limit one or two kilometers, there are cameras that click your speed even if you go over for even one minute. There are five speed changes in a distance of 10 miles of the road. They say you have to watch what is in front of you when you are driving, but you are constantly looking for the speed sign change. They say we want to get less poulition, but slowing traffic down makes more emisions. I am lucky I am over the age of being a working person, I would be very frustrated, even getting to work on time. Yet I cannot understand how councils permit even more developments to be built, when the road system was built to carry traffic back ten years ago. The general working person is expected to cope with the more crowded roads, every day on the way to and from work. If I was a person who was expevted to be there at a certain time, I'd be a mental wreck. Also the speed limits, were set back when I was a teenager, 60 kilimiter an hour is the old 35 mph, when we didn't even have automatic cars. The beaches north and south of Brisbane have been ruined by poor development planning. It is so difficult to get to them. I find it so weird where I live that people seem to expect us to be inside our house after 8 30 at night. They seem to have a panic attack if anyone goes out at night. Anyway I have found a way to live here, but very depressed that there is no place to go, no live entertainment like in U S. Only thing we have to do is look at you tube, or TV, And live a very unhealthy lifestyle, exercising and enjoying outdoors doesn't seem to be encouraged. I'm sorry I returned back to Australia...............And so glad I didn't get my daughter to stay here , when I bought her here as a small girl, but realized my mistake. THere is no freedom, why are we treated like we look like we can't be trusted to manage our own lives. This is an Australian talking.
Excellent video. I cringe seeing overseas visitors riding around with no helmets as I know the police are brutal and will fine them no matter what. I was fined with friends crossing the street at 12am with no traffic. Police were hiding. We pleaded for them to not fine our student friend and a woman who crossed with us who couldn't speak English. They refused. We complained to the police hierarchy the next day.. no result..
Pleading to the police just gets them excited and more likely to fine you, you stoked the flames and made their day
Come to Perth
Holy shit The police were hiding at 12a.m. lol
Police state
I am 63 and have lived in Sydney my whole life and NEVER been "caught" crossing a street without using the marked crossings,
Thank you for sharing watching netherlands
Australia and Canada are similar. Australia with an edge on weather. I really enjoyed the layout and overall atmosphere of Sydney. I would consider moving there but hear it’s very expensive for accommodation. Can’t wait to visit that city again though.
One of my best mates here is a Canadian from Vancouver and he told me one of the things that appealed to him was the higher wages here. It's a few years since I've been to Canada but while I remember food being cheaper there I had the impression accommodation costs were the same as here or higher.
Compared to Canada, Australia is more intolerant of immigrants and multiculturalism. A survey among "non-white" global travelers done in 2018, found that Australia is the most racist country in the world, the US is 2nd and the UK 3rd. Canada was not in the 5 top. Australia is anti-China now but before that it was anti-Muslim.
@@rcbrascan Can you cite the study?
I couldn’t imagine living anywhere else. At least you don’t have to worry about being shot when going to the shops
Paddy: Australia has slow internet connection
My wifi: No need to expose the fact that I decided to stop working for 5 minutes, then switch to the lowest video quality
You're the Man Paddy,, Top Post again, Thai's are shy to speak English to strangers, my Wife after 9 yrs in Oz, still hardly talks, and she has spoken English now some 20yrs,, Cultural Thing i reckon,,, as i Luv to give my Thai a whirl when we are at Cabramata, Sydney Suburb for Asian Community.
WE WILL MISS YOU AUSTRALIA 🇦🇺
Absolutely spot on, all of it... 12 years here, I'm very adaptable, I speak English fluently, I have helped a lot of people make money, I work in very social environments and I have 1 Australian friend who is from the same background as me. Oh and the women here and their culture towards men is nothing like i have ever dreamed in my worst nightmares.. I really feel sorry for you guys. I have approached and spoken to thousands of women and I just can't get a date, despite the fact I'm up on the SMV. Not only, the way I have been treated is absolutely disgusting.. Keep in mind I'm From Eastern Europe and before I came here , I was surrounded by women in my life,.. Girlfriends, in my family and in my social circles. I know women from all over the world, and I would put AU and NZ women on the bottom of the list Feminism in AU sucks.. For all the men, thinking to com here, take this into consideration..I would advice you to skip, or come for a visit... It's a beautiful country, but you will be absolutely alone, intimately and socially....No money, skills, success or looks would make a difference. I can say this with conviction. The loneliness and isolation can drive you into depression. I simply had enough, and i'm ready to depart .
unfortunately the best of Australia was lived many many yrs ago up until the 90s,we had the best childhood and where free.really free, for example as an 8 yr old I could buy fire works from our local milk bar, we could take our air rifles to school for show and tell...etc and the list goes on.
Definitely choose New Zealand 🇳🇿 😍
May I ask why?
living in a australia i thought the reasons are cus of lockdowns, hailnardo sometimes and... MAGPIES
You might think "The big X" is a joke, but we've got the Big Potato up the mountain from my place. Seriously.
Do people in other countries not say morning when they walk past on a path by you. I’d find it weird for that not to occur.
Almost everything close way too early in Australia which could be a factor for people not moving in.
It truly is a Mad Max Wasteland.
It's what happens when you mix a hundred different nationalities and call them one...
"The big BANANA" 🤣🤣 You've killed me bro hahaha what a strong emphasis you used to say that! I'll get more informed about this BB :D
Also, Australia is damn expensive!
What countries are on your list of places to travel too? Btw awesome video like always bro
Way too many tbh! I’m pretty open to just about most places!
@@ThaiTalkwithPaddy same man, my dream is to learn 7 languages and do travel vlogs in several places! Hopefully one day I'll meet you somewhere 😂
@@jjjkinnemore let’s hope that day is soon!
Ever since I was in school, I wanted to visit Australia. I have been shocked though by how Australian politicians have handled the Covid situation, how they've treated their citizens, and the oppressive regulations and mandates. Honestly, the image I had of Australia and the reality don't seem to mesh.
from someone who lives here i agree
Your next wherever you are!
@@BeeBee-dd2rr Unfortunately, I know. The US isn't far behind Australia.
No it’s not true All that is the news trying to get something to talk about that brings controversy beacuse of lockdown
😂😂😂 744,000+ deaths in the US and you’re shocked at how other countries have handled COVID
The Tall Poppy Phenomenal exists in both Singapore and Sweden. Singapore - it's just a very competitive environment. Sweden - Nationalistic, there is a cultral need to portray as a "good Swede; morally righteous" and it's "always us against them" sorta rhetoric.
Lol you have never been in Germany, for fishing without a fishing license you can even be jailed here (at least in theory)
Are there too many bugs in Perth ?
I'm Aussie all the way, this is true every point. But we love this great southern land.
Not great. And a person who is a part of a country saying they love themselves or their country really doesn't say anything but that the country is egotistical. Imagine if people were able to just walk around saying 'I'm rich!' and they magically became rich. Same energy as Australians wandering around on the internet and shouting 'Australia is great!'.
@@jakevanderbergh5458 no it's how you read it. If you love a country that you were born, why wouldn't you be proud. That is not being egoistical. I know people from Africa that say the same thing about Africa. It is embracing who you are.
And where I am from.
You forgot to include the astronomically high taxes and equally as high cost of living
I was quite surprised about the helmet and red light crossing fine. Coming from Germany I thought it couldn't get any stricter..... Crossing a red light only costs 20€ if fined and wearing a helmet on a bicycle is completely up to you. 😅
Ich kann dir nichtmal sagen wie das mit der Roten Ampel in der Schweiz ist, als Autofahrer lieber nicht, als Fussgänger auch da rum. Der Helm ist auch freiwillig.
Switzerland is pretty similar to germany.
In Germany you can drink in the streets and the police might keep an eye but won't hassle you. Then again Aussies have a bit more tendency to do silly things after a few drinks than Germans (-:
@Vittoria ... what... how did you get that from that... Australia's police and health system is hanging by a thread since the start - only able to exist at all thanks to how little people the country has - and is the most careless and heartless I've ever had the discomfort of working with. Australia is just England's bullying, egotistical jock little brother.
Scratch that dictatorship off my travel list for sure. I think I’d sooner vacation in Cuba..
enjoy your Cuban experience.
I did it was great! I recommend Pinal del Rio and Varadero.
Yes exactly Australians are so so many can only speak English none of my friends relate with my love of Asian culture and yes I do agree with you with people saying hello but when you're in public indoor places many people are very quiet and this is coming from an Australian I just wish we really had some more nightlife and other activities to do Australia seems to only build shopping centres
If you were in Victoria, that'd be another fine for riding on the footpath. Stop endangering pedestrians and get on the road where you belong!
Not true that NZ is our closest country. Perhaps for southern, big city dwellers.
But for us northerners, and for Australia as a whole, which has been your reference, PNG is our closest neighbour mate.
why NOT move here.. you may never get out.. now its all communist here. Many want to leave but can't
Reason number 6 Australia doesn’t have a Bill or rights
as others said, number one reason for not going there is that they are obsessed with lockdowns, which says a lot about the potential for despotic rule
Very true...it's the reason why I left Oz after 20 years there. To your point about the potential for despotic rule, it's been well and truly realized in many states (in particular Victoria).
yooo they got the slurpee brings back the good memories
After living there 16 years & now thanking Christ I'm out of that oppressive hell hole.
Off you go, don't let the door hit you on the way out,
Australia is a great country!
Where did go instead? I am surprised someone could live that long and move away to somewhere else.
@@TotallyNotaWeeb123 Thailand 😀 at least 50x more "free" than Aussie has become.
@@LostCloudx4 why did you find it oppressive? Asking because I was trying to move to Australia
Thankyou Kunal to bring him back in my life. I found your number from here that's why I am replying here. I never forget you.
