As an Australian, I'm just pleased that people from other countries think we have our own culture, rather than being a copy/paste of the UK - or America!
I don’t know anyone who considers Australian culture a copy of UK or US. Everyone I know views Australia as exotic with unique wild animals and an interesting accent.
@@Larry-jh8gf Obviously we have different experiences. This is life. It's something I have come across repeatedly while living in Asia for 4 years, and Europe for the last 10 years. It surprises me every time. it's not that they think Australia isn't its own country, just that there is basically no difference between the cultures. I also never said it was logical, but then, some of our own preconceived ideas about other countries may also be illogical too...
The issue with alcohol isn't whether people drink; but why they drink? This is what differentiates countries like Russia from other cultures such as Australia, England, Germanny, Canada, USA, etc.
In other news. I'd like to thank the snow plow workers in the Chicago suburbs for keeping the streets relatively clean from all this snow we got today. I was able to get to work and back home. I'm sipping on vodka to stay on topic, kinda.
Making sure the dinner bill gets paid 50/50 has become a mandatory "shit test" that a Man MUST do to filter out malevolence. If a Man is paying the entire dinner bill on the first and second date then he's stupid, he's objectively an idiot based upon the current culture of dating. ALL smart Men will make sure those first 2 dates are split 50/50 for many reasons. Firstly it shows a smart Man that the Woman actually does like him because she's spending her own money to spend time with him. Secondly and most important is that it's insurance against being used as a "Free food date". Many evil Women will string a Man along that she's not attracted to, wasting his time, getting his hopes up, and draining his wallet, all so that she can get a free meal out of him. To avoid being used in this way smart Men will ensure that the first 2 dates are split 50/50 to filter out those Women. From the third date onwards, good Men will pay the entire dinner bill most often (Not every time!) to ensure that the Woman doesn't take the generosity for granted, a Man should require the bill to be split every 3-4 dates after that point.
I’m an Australian living in the USA That was a culture shock. What this mate said was spot on. But we did drink UDLs in Aussie growing up I think Australia is vastly different the. 20’years ago as we become more stressed and the cost of living has skyrocketed
Australians/New Zealand pretty much the same. They speak their mind if they don't agree with anything. They love to party hard and enjoy life's offers. Men and woman are pretty much equal in decision making especially in relationships. It's a culture shock for Russians visiting Australia. You really need to visit to really understand our culture down under.
The type of traditional family life described is something that existed in Canada back in the 50's. My mother is 85 and she has always worked. She had secretarial training and worked before she married and after she married. This wasn't necessarily true for all women of her generation; however, it is definitely true today! In fact, no woman should be so dependent on a man that she can just stay at home. Marriage or a common-law relationship don't necessarily last forever; in fact, in todays world, less than half do and in Russia, a man's lifespan isn't great!! Consequently, whether you are a man or a woman, you need to look out for yourself and not having a job is possibly not good for your financial health. Depending entirely on your marriage for your financial health is a bad idea!
Someone's gotta be there for the babies, get the packages in, make the meals, do the wash and be on hand when the others need help. All our lives were better when someone was home to do this. I don't care who, but we need somebody.
@@evegreenification Really!! Rich people do this by hiring staff to do these jobs; thus rich women get to do whatever they want while poor women don't deserve the same. This is such a selfish opinion, certainly it can be good for the one receiving all these services; but what about the woman whose only worth would seem to be to provide these services. Welcome back to the dark ages where woman didn't need to know how to read, just how to take care of their home, husband and children.
Way to assume it's gotta be the woman who stays home, and way to assume that creating a well organized and well run home is not a valuable thing to do. Thanks heaps for being a patriarchal person who pretends to be an ally.@@lucforand8527
Dasha. First thought. You're talking to an Australian. You spent a year in Istanbul, formerly Constantinople. Have you been to Gallipoli at ANZAC Cove? A ANZAC Day And this is where Australians finally gain national consciousness in the context of Empire.
Aussies and Kiwis are pretty laid back people we are pretty welcoming to everybody plenty of Russian 🇷🇺 and Slavic immigrants from Eastern Europe call a Australia 🇦🇺 home but we do have a lot of nursing homes for the elderly with higher needs and retirement homes are more for elderly people that don’t need to much help and most 2 parent families both have to work because housing is so bloody expensive you need 2 wages to pay the bills
If you watch "Sunday to far away" that's Australia that was, good hearted,hardworking hard drinking, pack a day habit, "knock about's" fight at a drop of a hat, give you the shirt of their back but they are now dead because of the influx of different cultures and the influence they've had, today it is a different country.
Interesting discussion. If Australian males work so many hours, where do they find time for their heavy drinking sessions! Found the speaking the truth bit very interesting considering the russian government and media have no need of the truth! Suspect Russians are cool to strangers as there may be a trust issue - might be a gov spy! Shocking story about your stepfather and the poor salaries, keeping people in poverty. Great interview technique Dari, you have improved a lot!
Excellent video Dari! I found it so interesting your discussion between the two cultures. I believe that we all have a lot more in common than we do in differences if we are all just willing to listen to, and give each other a chance. The differing cultures is such an interesting topic and thank you for doing this video for us.
I really enjoyed this conversation where you guys compared cultures! It's helps us to understand each other. I hope you do more of these from time to time, Daria.
Dari and Harry: Great interaction, great interview. It was so wonderful to hear you both speak about your individual countries: Learning something new about some of the differences as well as the similarities. Let's just say that, the US is a melting pot of all of thee above! Dari, well done again. Interesting that so many other R vloggers say that it is just a US myth that we think all Russians do is sit around and drink Vodka! I think you just clarified that for us! 😁😁. Russian's speaking the Truth? I will believe that up until the topic changes to "Politics" (Of course, that is here and everywhere else too)! 😃😃 I was curious, when you decide on your Country destination, If not Russia, will mom and step-dad be eager to come stay/move in with you? Time will only tell!
I don't know. Canadians live in the cold and I think we 'chill' more in the winter than in the summer. In the summer you have to take advantage of those 16 hours or more of sunshine per day.
Good interview! Yes, Aussie's are different than Americans. Very different than Americans. Used to work with Australians on night shift and then interact with them on-line in the middle of night on my weekends. Other than interacting with them, night shift is really hard on you. It mixes you body all up.
Very interesting Dari! I started watching your channel because I was interested to hear your perspective about differences between Russian culture and American culture. You have done just that. I admire your honesty and straight forward opinion. Always fun and interesting. ❤😊
I love these kind of videos!! I live in NewYork but my Father was born and raised in Australia. I hope you get to visit Australia someday. I would love to see more of these types of videos on your channel.
Thank you very much Dari for this nice interview. I think that cultural difference between peoples can enrich our life. It is fantastic to know how a foreign people lives on the other side of the world and sometimes very close to us. Take care❤⭐️❤️
Nice job Dasha! I know many people from many different countries. I think Australian and Russian are 2 of the most kind and generous. It always has amazed me on how Russians can initially seem so cold, but how warm and generous they really are once you get past that outer shell. They literally will give you anything they have. Unfortunately I haven't visited Russia when I had the chance. Hopefully it's not as long as you 2 said at the end before we get an opportunity to go.
Nothing else to say other than this was a very good episode. Really appreciate these talks with people from other countries, many of the things you discuss and conclude are not that different from my country. I guess we are all more alike than we realize in many ways

In the UK, we see you as cousins, but we're not the same.
I don’t know anyone who considers Australian culture a copy of UK or US. Everyone I know views Australia as exotic with unique wild animals and an interesting accent.
Who thinks that? I've never heard that before.
I do know many Americans can't tell the difference between and Australian and UK accent though.

Very interesting comparison.
Thank you!

Interesting coversation Dari. Your contentvis good.
Glad you think so!

First!
Australia? They still drive the car on the left side. What can you expect from them? 🤨
😂😂😂

I want to adopt a babuska ,i seen several video there selling food or things at train stations. Plus my Grandparents has passed.
This guy is so cool!!!
Hi Dari, your videos was really interesting. Please, interview someone from Latin America and compare with Russian culture too 😀
Ahahah will do soon ☺️
well... have ever been in Brisbane,,, its amazing... there's no comparison....
3AM to 6pm is not normal for an Australian household at all, fine that it's his experience but it's far from typical
Sounds like he’s dad works in the transport industry or goes to the pub after work for a couple of beers
Great interview and interesting topics!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love this!!! Since you have a bunch of other international classmates, I'm hoping you'll occasionally do the same with them. Just rinse and repeat.😀
That's the plan!

I think Australia is vastly different the. 20’years ago as we become more stressed and the cost of living has skyrocketed
If its a date, it might depend on who invited who, the bill might be shared, or each may pay their own way.
Australians/New Zealand pretty much the same. They speak their mind if they don't agree with anything. They love to party hard and enjoy life's offers. Men and woman are pretty much equal in decision making especially in relationships. It's a culture shock for Russians visiting Australia.

A very interesting discussion. Good to see the comparisons of the cultures. Thanks Dari.❤

Thanks Dari, we just got back from Sydney great town.
Good video! I agree that you should do this with all of your international friends when you have the time.
That's the plan!
Very nice

me too, if it gets safer to visit russia (only because of the government) i would really love too go there, but ATM nope.
Hi Dari interesting video,take care
Thank you! You too!

Hopefully one day 😊😌
been Australian I want to point out most older people live off there superannuation not there pension the pension in Australia is low
Thank you very much Dari for this nice interview. I think that cultural difference between peoples can enrich our life. It is fantastic to know how a foreign people lives on the other side of the world and sometimes very close to us. Take care❤⭐️❤️
Totally agree :)
Australians these days are more like Texans.
I don't think he is someone I would have picked to interview - he is very nervous and makes me lose confidence in what he is saying.
Nice job Dasha! I know many people from many different countries. I think Australian and Russian are 2 of the most kind and generous.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts ☺️
Very interesting topics, I totally enjoyed it. Great work! Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it!
I would like to think somebody studying politics could converse one to one without repeatedly saying "ya-know".
And why so many, "likes"?
Nothing else to say other than this was a very good episode.
Really appreciate these talks with people from other countries, many of the things you discuss and conclude are not that different from my country. I guess we are all more alike than we realize in many ways
Ahaha thank you!!!
