    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.

      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.

    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.

      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.

    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 😉😂

      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.

    • @brianandrea3249

      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.

    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.

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 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.

      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.

    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..

    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.

    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 .
