    My name is Albeli Ritu and I love telling stories. When I was a little girl all I wanted was to do something creative and different. I didn't have the courage to do it for the last 27 years but finally, I have decided to be the hero of my own story. I came to the US in 2018 December and from 2019 I am sharing my journey as a UA-camr in America. I make travel and lifestyle videos in Hindi from America. I recently moved to London, UK and I am very excited to share my experiences and the whole journey with you. If you like this video don’t forget to subscribe.

    When you reach sixty, all your medicines are free, your train and bus travel are free, and when you reach sixty seven, you also get pension. Everybody gets pension here unlike in India where only government servants get pension. And the hospitals here are like five star hotels where you get the best treatment and that is also absolutely free. Need I say more?

    Very informative blog. We visited our Son in London a few months back, and our views are same on most points. One point of concern is that if a visitor on tourist visa falls ill or is injured, the NHS does not cover it, and the medical expenses, doctors fee is exorbitant. Medical Insurance does not cover much, and is only for namesake. Any how congratulations for the blog.

    • @garygeorge-wi7co

    Correction: In Dubai (other gulf countries too) there is no income tax but only 5% municipal tax and vat.

    • @garygeorge-wi7co
      @garygeorge-wi7co Рік тому

      Are you mad? How can you compare UK with Dubai? Here you become a cleaner and your minimum salary is more than thousand rupees per hour. You earn more, you pay more tax. And after a certain number of years, you become citizen here. You cannot get citizenship in Dubai even after thirty years. People who cannot come to the west, end up in Arab countries.

  • @indianskingdomatengland4807

    One more point.
    People here consider all jobs same. They dont look down upon you depending on your job, bank balance, cloths etc. Equal respect for all jobs. They dont talk rude to "small" people.
    My landlords owns multiple houses, drives posh red AUDI but comes and fixes house issues of bathroom or roof or kitchen or garden himself. Doesnt feel ashmed of doing small job at all.
    Whether you are working at mall or doing plumbing or electric or garbage collection or any other small work, nobody makes you feel inferior. They respect all jobs equally. Nobody pulls the rank stating "तू जानता नहीं मैं कौन हूँ" :)

    • @garygeorge-wi7co

      One of my teacher friend once told me that he never had any Indian female student who wanted to be nurse. Indians love to be treated by a skilled nurse when they are ill but they hate their daughter to be one of them. Indians are very very judgemental people.

    • @garygeorge-wi7co
      @garygeorge-wi7co Рік тому

      With one fifth of the salary, you will be better off in India than in UK. Tax is very high in UK and you pay flat 20 percent VAT on everything you buy. You cannot afford a maid unless you are rich. A maid will cost you one thousand Indian rupees per hour minimum. Hence middle class people cannot afford one. Someone will come to cut your grass and you pay at least fifteen hundred rupees per hour. That is why most people do all the house work themselves as much as they can.

    Hello Ritu, loved watching this vlog from my Air Bnb room in Paddington :-) While I agree with all the pros and cons, I’ve a different take on treatment at shops. In Southall I feel the shopkeepers are impatient. If you spend more than 5 mins without buying they get anxious and don’t hesitate to tell that we are wasting their time making the shopping experience awkward. Keep up the good work.

      Uk bad health care system ... Not as good as I would wish, but it is thousand times better than India.
      Bad weather.... Agree but the summer months from June till September, are lovely.
      Everything is very costly now..... A cleaner here would earn one thousand rupees per hour and the same cleaner will earn hundred rupees an hour in India. Now an egg costs six rupees in India and here in UK, it costs fifteen rupees. UK is still cheaper to live compared to India when you consider the income.
      No quality life..... As if only in India we have all the quality.

      One year course will cost him between fifteen and twenty lakhs, depending on the university he chooses. He will be allowed to do part time work for twenty hours every week where he will earn at least eight hundred pounds a month. Depending on his taste and his habits, assuming he is a nice young man, he can manage very well with eight hundred pounds in a shared room, no smoking or drinking, and no girlfriends.
      At the end of this course, he will get two years PSW visa where he will be allowed to work in UK, and if his employer likes him, he can get work permit.
