![Fc ครับ ขอแนะนำให้รู้จักกับ "น้องเปียโน" l [Nickynachat]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/HQU6Q_IYTLo/mqdefault.jpg)
Just to clarify after so many people got offended. I made this video to help other people before they come to Australia. A common search phrase is ‘things I wish I knew before coming to Oz’ that’s why I chose that title! I have been researching before I went to Australia so I kind of knew about the weather etc. but even if you look at a map you don’t realize how big the distances are. Same with the other things, I never knew you can do a ski season etc.
Hahaha I've no idea why some people get offended though I am a bit confused as to why people would tell you that Australia doesn't get cold?? Weird!
Aussies are pretty rude on sites like this and are great at being smart arses even when they know someone is from overseas and won't say something perfectly or realize something about a new country. So don't sweat the rude bastards - and yes I am an Aussie
Where you pay $7 for Bananas ?-Which time of year was it? I can go to my local Aldi &buy them for $3AU per kilo, maybe $3.50-$3.60/kg at Woolworths/Coles. High wages= high prices. It’s all relative. Australia has a high Alcohol tax, so the stronger the alcohol like whiskey or vodka, then the tax will be higher than it is on a beer. By the way, where do you get a bottle ( when you say bottle , I hope you mean a 700ml bottle) of Vodka for €4 ? You smuggled it over from Poland? Yes alcohol is cheaper i Europe overall, but Europeans don’t drink as much as Aussie’s do( per person) ,so the Alcohol doesn’t need to have such highs taxes on it..
Nothing offensive in your vid, must have been a few that were fragile.
I agree with what you've said. Re the size of the country, it's not unusual to accept the information on an intellectual basis but still be surprised by the reality. I knew a fellow who's wife's parents were German, after reunification there were a lot of visits by relations who hadn't seen each other in years. I heard a few stories....
Australia is .. a continent .. And an island. And a country.
Technically not an island since an island is defined as being subcontinental in size.
And bloody huge!
@@gbsailing9436 that is what my sister in-law said to me the other night!!
Panzerkampfwagen It’s still surrounded by water so technically a fucking island!
@@gbsailing9436 No, because Australia is not subcontinental in size. Plus have you ever looked at a map? Every landmass is surrounded by water. Is everything on Earth an island?
When the video started, I thought you were English. Then when you said you were from Germany I thought you speak good English but by the end of the video I swear I could hear the Australian accent starting to creep in.
That what i thought too.
Same!
SAME
When you said "yeah nah" I knew your conversion to being Australian is almost complete... 😉
Hahaha 😂😂 getting there
Hahaha yeah i believe that is the hardest thing for people to understand, the difference between "yeah nah" and "nah yeah"
@@travelwithlille
Snakes and spiders yeah nah
Flies nah yeah
She needs to work on 'heaps' a little more.
haha was going to say this too. i heard the casual 'yeah nah' being slipped into the sentence, i was like, 1.5 years is starting to leave its mark.
Surely before moving to a new country you would research the weather.
Some people just gotta share the bad vibe huh
@@lucia-mariap.9274 Yep
A common misconception about Australia from certain countries is that it’s always hot, I mean remember the wildfires? But yeah that’s definitely one thing you should do before moving to a while different country
@@lilhonni This isn't a tropical island we are the basically the size of the USA
Whenever I go on holiday I check the weather patterns from previous year as well as days leading up to my holiday. This is regardless of what I heard from people.
Who else is watching this because they’re going to move to sydney with their friends?
G'day from Melbourne, Australia 🇦🇺
l was born and raised here in Australia 🇦🇺😁👍
Australia is the size of the moon 🌙 lt takes 30 days to drive all around Australia. And yes, it's very expensive here 💵
As an Aussie, I don't drink alcohol or smoke. Anyway, Australia has a new streaming service now if you wanna check it out, it called Binge www.binge.com.au, it's from $10 a month .
Also check out the Just watch app, it has all streaming apps in the one app www.justwatch.com/
Hey mate. I’m deciding on moving to Sydney or Melbourne , I wanna go in October but because of corona I might have to wait until December
Big Time Rusher same with me bro
Big Time Rusher im going soon!! Pass me ur ig
@Timyra Jenkins Spider's are not that big, and if you're in the city, you probably won't see any. As for snakes , l haven't seen one in the 43 years l've been here in Melbourne. Visa is 3 months, l think you can get it extended. You need at least $6,000 Australian dollars a month, especially if you're gonna travel around nearly every day. Don't have more that $10,000 in cash on you when you arrive at an Australian airport otherwise you will get a fine. And don't have any porn on your phone, because custom officials at the airport will destroy your phone. And you will have to buy a new one. And don't bring food, it might get destroyed too. I suggest you watch these videos on Australia's boader security m.th-cam.com/play/PLAgn5We8vevKkTCgCIpNkjrsvC6pjTLYz.html

Gets paid $24/hr picking vegetables and can’t understand why fresh food costs so much :)
I do get it. I just don’t get why ordering a salad costs $18 and a burger is $10 even on a cattle farm you get $24 an hour so why is unhealthy food always so much cheaper?
And also you would be surprised how many vegetables and fruit we picked in an hour 😅
travelwithlille you’re not wrong, I was just poking fun a bit! All the shit processed food in the supermarket is also pretty cheap even though it includes a 10% GST in the price whereas fresh produce does not. Another good example would be in the fresh produce section often there will be both local and imported garlic (often from Japan but sometimes Europe). The local garlic will be 50% more or sometimes even double the price.
@@travelwithlille The obvious answer is that there is little labour involved in making the ingredients for junk food.
@@travelwithlille because unhealthy food is shit
Great video. I don't know why any Australian would be offended. Your observations are spot on and your English is excellent.
A note on "You can't come in. You're too drunk."
I'm born and live in Sydney. One Friday after work I had a few drinks (Australian for- who's counting?) with an English friend of mine. We decided to go to another pub. As we entered the bouncer says, "Good evening." There were four guys behind us and the bouncer gave that you're too drunk line. So, two drunk thirty somethings in business suits are acceptable but four sober early twenties in casual clothes are not. In short, too drunk can be an excuse used when they mean, we think you are not the clients we are looking for.
So true! Especially in cities like sydney or Melbourne bouncers always do it! Especially to boys
Some places in Brisbane scan your retinas at the door, I've been refused entry to many of them...
Depends on what part of Australia you are referring to, some parts are unbearably hot and humid all year round (northern Australia). Southern Australia has four seasons, but can be blazing hot in the summer months. Melbourne can get into the mid forties Celsius for a couple of days, then drop back to under twenty Celsius.
Yeah true! I‘m pretty sure i said that in the video tho
I'm an Aussie and have travelled the world in my younger days, and found these things similar, so it's learning as you go along. I bought bananas yesterday for $3.00 a kg, which is the norm.
That was a lot of fun to watch.
I hope you had a great time here in Australia
Not sure where you are shopping but my vegetables and fruit purchases are the cheapest items on the list and I usually buy the best quality and in season items available. I find the frozen conveinience foods and cleaning products to be the most costly. I live in the southern suburbs of Perth and I know country areas are more expensive, you mentioned Broome, I have not been there for years but it was definitely be one of the most expensive places to shop in Western Australia when I was there. Good honest information, great accent you have. Travel safe.
Super interesting to get your perspective because I have lived in Sydney my whole life. You're pretty accurate with these.
Funnel-web spiders are one thing you _do_ need to watch for. Living in Sydney or generally warmer areas of Australia. They are known to be in backyards and they do still take lives as they are aggressive, so this is worth noting, redbacks in the garden are a thing too and they are tiny but even as an Aussie I take note.
We haven't had a death from funnel web bites since the antivenom was discovered back in 1980, this is from the Australian Museum:
"There have been no deaths in Australia from a confirmed spider bite since 1979. An effective antivenom for Redback Spiders was introduced in 1956, and one for funnel-web spiders in 1980. These are the only two spiders that have caused deaths in Australia in the past"
How did you get that English level , it sounds so natural, if don't tell you are from, I hadn't been able to notice it :)
Ah thank you! I had English in school and always watched a lot of TH-cam and movies in English. I also started dating someone from England which helped a lot ❣️
whitetulips oo im learning german amm.. ich wohne im irland
She does have a very good command of the english language. Its really pathetic on Australia and even my beloved USA that we aren't forced to take a foreign language throughout all of school. My kids, they had to do a term of something, and that was it; satisfied their school requirements in Victoria. In america, we had to do at least 1 year.. but still pales in comparison to somewhere like Germany. Really a sad situation for us. Wish we had to learn something from a young age and stick with it through 10 or so years of school. World would be a different place. Glad you loving australia tho.. best thing i did was move here 20 years ago
mfguiosa s . What absolute rubbish. The moment she spoke I knew she had a strong English accent, regardless of where she's from.
I always thought the same way. When I meet people from other countries who are absolutely fluent in English, I get so mad at the education system in America. We are really doing a disservice to our students
That was very enjoyable, I'm glad you are enjoying Oz.
Awesome video Lillie, and there was an advert on it! Woop woop grats on monification 😁 x
Thanks dan 💥 and yeahhh getting there haha
“Spiders everywhere?!” The reason I clicked on this video in the first place.
Me too lol
same
Yea
Same
The big cities can be expensive, but it’s not the same everywhere. We buy Bananas for $2.50 a KG.
Ich war letztes Jahr auch für 6 Monate in Australien und ich kann dir nur in jedem einzelnen Punkt zustimmen. Super Video 😊
Ah danke dir ❤️❤️
Great job. You are correct. I found out the same things. Out of your list, I found the language the most challenging.
"they speak very fast, that's a problem"
Meanwhile me, a German, watching this video in 1,5x speed xD
There's something like 5,000 commonly used abbreviations here in Australia (they can vary from state to state) but yeah, it's a lot.
Your English is amazing. I hope you are enjoying yourself here.
Thank you! Yeah I love it!
Great video!! I plan on visiting!!
I just found you on instagram actually and this is a video that I needed! I’m planning to go to Aus next year after uni so v useful tips! ❤️👌🏽
Wrong girl to ask. Watch 50 TH-cam videos produced by backpackers on travel in Australia and you'll learn the truth. Come in early autumn (feb) and stay through spring (nov), not summer if you can't handle 32 to 36c and 75 to100% humidity in Queensland or 34 to 42c heat with less humidity in N.S.W. The sun is not just hot here in summer, it stings until you can't stand it. Long shirts, hats and sunscreen, mandator
@@pistolpeds HI ! thank you so much for your advice! that's helpful a lot!
Yeah agreed, don't use information from this girl, no facts. I lived in Europe for 10 years I have a Dutch wife we shopped in Germany before returning to Australia we decided to do a comparison of normal shipping prices. In the end it's all comparable, yes some things are more expensive and also cheaper, day to day living prices are comparable in the end. Also if you do compare prices make sure to do it correctly, brand for brand or house brand for house brand.
Great video girl! 😍
Ahh thanks girl 🤟🏼
Omg yes I never realized how big Australia is until I flew over it and started planning trips 😱
You look at a route which is like 3 hours and the distance is sooooo small compared to the continent 😂 not used to that being from Germany ☺️ btw love your content right now, cause I had to leave my study abroad semester in Sydney. Now I can live through your videos the Aussie dream haha ❤️🌈
I know right? 😂 it’s crazy
And ahhh thank you so much! I hope you’re safe now in Germany 🖤
If you drive for five hours in one direction how many countries did you go through?
I drive five hours and haven't left my state, and it's one of the small ones.
Gus Driving In Australia it depends in which direction I drive and where I start. In Germany you could easily reach up to 3 countries within 5 hours!
@@mausifreak98 it's a wonderful world. Once this virus has had its time we can all enjoy traveling again.
My own channel features my long drives as I travel my little part of the world for work. Very little production involved :)
whoa, your european cross with australian accent sounds really interesting
Lol.., The West coast deserve more time. So much distance between amazing places!! Hope you saw Karijini on your way through. That place defies logic.
Omg the accent point was extremely surprising. I had no idea. Thank you! I wish I could get an idea about accent before I shift there. Let's try 😅🤞 thank you so much
awesome video! thanks for the tipss
On the east coast, you have too watch for both brown snakes and Sydney funnel webs. Being in a city doesn't slow them down one bit, they seem too prefer it.
Thanks for a nice video :) moving to Australia next year for school ❤️
Ohne Spaß, ich hab gelesen, dass jemand unter deinem letzten Video erwähnt hat, dass du wohl oft "like" sagst. Aber ganz ehrlich? Wo ist das Problem dabei? So unnötig solche Kommentare zu schreiben. Dein Englisch (von dem was man hier hört) ist so super! Besonders wenn man bedenkt, dass du Deutsche bist in erster Linie. Also falls(!) dich solche Kommentare verunsichert haben sollten, bitte halt dich nicht dran fest. Es gibt genug Leute, die deine video realistisch beurteilen und genießen können. Grüße aus Sydney
Ahh danke dir! 💥💥 ja also ich weiß ja selber, dass ich es öfter sage aber naja ist halt so, ich versuche mich schon zu bessern 😂 Aber vielen Dank für dein Kompliment!
Your English is very good. I'd say it is much better than their German so it's not something to be bothered about. I liked that you pointed it out in the video.
Mega sympathisches Video von dir 😊🙏 danke für deine tips 👌✌️
Vielen vielen Dank! 🌞
Fresh produce is seasonal in Australia. Any fresh produce that's out of season usually becomes expensive.
Right now bananas are between .99c and 2.99 kg depending where you shop and tomatoes are between 1.99 and 3.99 per kg. Also for travellers it is advised to try and find a fruit and vegetable only shop, these places are usually pretty cheap and can be better for local farmers too. Don't be afraid to not shop at a large supermarket...while these are good for basics like packaged goods and sometimes meat and fresh produce when in season...a dedicated fruit and vegetable shop usually always be cheaper.
Be careful of some places when described as a market, they can sometimes be places where they think their produce is grown in soil made of gold...steer clear of places like this.
This was very insightful for someone who wants to move there in the future.
Omg... I’m so happy I came across your video
The weather all depends on the state youre in, a lot of the places snow does not exist and when it does, its not that big
There is a lot of snow in the Snowy Mountains
Love your video so much!!!
I flipping loveeee your accent!!
Also ich weiß ja noch wie du auf Bali auf einen 1€ Brownie verzichtet hast damit du genügend Geld für Australien hattest 😂😂 und der Brownie hatte Karamell UND Vanille Eis dazu!!!
Größte Fehler meines Lebens 😂
whitetulips oo im learning german amm.. ich wohne im irland
You went to the Australian CONTINENT. (Sydney is .. cold .. in winter. Most places are .. except the Tropics/Darwin/Cairns etc.
7 dollars for 5 bananas?! mate, you are being ripped off. in my state, you normally get a kilo for anywhere around $2.50-$4.00.
pricing really depends on if the fruit and veges are in season AND if there is adequate competition around.
Yeah so true! That price was from when they were not in season. Grapes in season are quite cheap and than off season the prices go up like crazy
You are really getting ripped off
And when you say they get shipped to Germany. Bananas probably travel further to get to Melbourne. Australia is huge!
@@travelwithlille Off season grapes are imported, often all the way from the USA. Best to buy what's in season, saving $$ and greenhouse gas release in transport. Labelling rules require that country of origin be shown on the shelf label. Off season apples are kept in cold storage. Fresh is best!
Well, at least she wasn’t around when we had the cyclone at Innisfail in 2006 which wiped out most of the Banana plantations and we were paying $18 per kilo for most of the year!
You mentioned Broome and Germany in you vid along with the size of Australia. To drive from Broome to Perth is about the same distance as driving from Berlin to Paris (passing through Belgium)... and back.
Heya! Thanks so much for the info. Really had the odd giggle, but was definitely an eye-opener. What would you recommend as a part-time job for a woman in her late 20's? Thanks so much 🙂
thank you :) any part time job really, depends what you like but hospitality is always good and quite easy to get
Great to learn from your experience...🌷
Shorten? The Melbourne Cricket Ground is the MCG, but that is too long!! It is known as The G
Helpful video thank you!
WELL i WENT TO GERMANY AND FROM Frankfurt four hours and I was in Austria, yet here at home fours hour you are still in the same state
As for the wages, if you work as an unskilled labourer in a coal mine you can make more than most doctors in the world make (about $2000 per week) :0
Also, the Australian alps get more snow then than the entire country of Switzerland :) Yes, you can ski here lol
Sadly that's true. My net salary as a doctor in a government hospital in Malaysia was around AUD1500... a month.
My 18 year old son would like an unskilled labourer job in a coal mine in Australia… which companies are employing? He is an Australian citizen.
@@kassrripples3659 have you tried searching the internet?
That is such a great list. Most people don't comprehend just how massive Oz is and then you send them a screenshot of it over the US and Europe.
Thanks for mentioning that snakes and spiders aren't everywhere. This seems to be a massive assumption and the flies, that's why it's called the aussie wave ;) haah
Ya know, I think your grasp of the English language is very good! Like, I thought you were from Sarth Efrika (South Africa with a South African accent...)!
You should come to South Australia. Less flies here, very laid back, best underground music scene in the country, Adelaide is small and closer to the countryside but snakes are very rarely seen, slower paced but still busy and very clean!
The wineries here are nearly always looking for seasonal workers (not picking though) and there are lots of fruit growing farms that hire pickers on a regular basis! The pay is good and everything is easy to get to!!
Ah thank you! I definitely wanna come back down there at some point! It looks beautiful 😍
Fewer flies in Sth Australia? Surely you jest. They pick you up and carry you off.
@@MrMoxicon Sssshhhhhh!
@@ScottEDawg ok...
Many Australian tourists in europe tell tall stories about snakes and spiders.
and drop bears
Glad you're enjoying our home country 😀
We've never understood why people are so scared of the snakes and spiders in Australia. Flies on the other hand... 😱😜
Yawn on a summer day and you'll unintentionally receive enough protein intake to last you for a week. . . And somehow we all forget how ruthless the flies are every year...
The thing to watch out for closer to the cities is the magpie attacks, there's 2 types, the swoopers and the slammers, which is pretty self explanatory.
Oh and the drop bears 😅
Oh god the dreaded drop bears. I was camping once and discovered one near my campsite. Yeah, we moved pretty quickly.
@@gothslothyou got lucky mate, usually they'll be the ones to spot you and you don't know they're even there until its too late.
@@zchettaz pretty sure it was sleeping and that’s how we got away so easily lmao
Here in Victoria along the river there are snakes in alot of places but this is what to watch out for in every season, in summer snakes especially in the murray river, spring magpie omg they are horrid, winter well there is not alot but AFL and Netball season run and it is really cold. Aurtum, watch for the snakes too.
ok thanks you so much for your kindness love towards
I have 5 spider roommates I keep them because they eat all the bugs and a few more live in my backyard under plant pots and stuff
Last spring i had 2 mexican standoffs with huge brown snakes in my back yard.last few years have been baaaadd!!!!
We have seasons in Australia like in other countries there is a season for cherries grapes apples citrus fruits watermelon fruit is cheaper at these times of the year the rest of the year it is imported from different countries all over the world and is pricier so if you stick to fruit and veg in the growing season you'll be right
Not a lot of fruit and vegetables are imported. They are usually either grown in a greenhouse, grown in the northern parts of the country, or kept in storage and released later. There are a few exceptions, such as citrus from America, Avocados and kiwifruit from New Zealand, among others.
Thank you so much, your video was cute and informative. Don't know if I will ever get there I live in Sonora, CA near Yosemite but if I joined another country it would be Australia
I'm really impressed that you know Australia exists, let alone where it is.
I've watched a number of YT videos where Americans are asked about other countries and most of them have no idea anything exists outside the US.
In fact, many of them couldn't find their own country on a world map.
If you get the opportunity, drop over and visit us or our close friends in New Zealand.
The Great Australian Salute !!
We have Aldi supermarkets everywhere now. Well known for being cheaper than other supermarkets. And kangaroos do hop down our main roads occasionally. Assumptions can lead to erroneous conclusions. I liked your video.
Yeah Aldi is originally from Germany so I love going in there, reminds me a bit of home hehe and thank you!
Did you not google the weather in the parts of Australia you will be staying ?
Where would you recommend going for someone who wants to do a trip sans car?
Wie viel Geld hattest du als Startkapital, also wie viel Geld du für die Flüge, Thailand, Bali und auch die Anfangszeit in Australien gespart?
Das musst du natürlich nicht beantworten, aber ich glaube, dass es sehr hilfreich wäre😅😅
Ich habe am Anfang mit 5000€ gestartet :)
travelwithlille Ich hoffe, es ist in Ordnung, wenn ich noch einmal genauer Nachfrage, aber hast du von den 5000€ auch deine Flüge, Versicherung und Thailand und Bali bezahlt?😅😅
Ich hätte mal ne andere Frage. Hast du in Deutschland studiert oder gearbeitet? Und wie sieht dein Karriereweg in Zukunft aus, bzw hast du vor nach Australien auszuwandern? Das würde mich sehr interessieren.
Cooles Video! :) 👍🏾
Danke dir 💥 und ich werde hoffentlich im August wiederkommen und eine Ausbildung in Berlin beginnen 😊
@travelwithlille if you really wanna know about Australia try to arrange a meet up with someone born & raised here & has spent a good deal of time travelling around.
You'll hear some good stories & maybe learn some things. Those are the sorta Aussies worth knowing cause we know about more about 1 area or culture.
As a foreigner from Australia I would be happy to see a video of yours informative as Emilys :) I´ll be happy to hear from an Australia with about more about 1 area of culture.
@@fabriciomosca7197 sorry I don't do videos prefer face-2-face....much more interactive & can at least see facial expressions as stories are told
Its call do your research before hand would have been the smartest thing to do.
Most of the alcohol price is government tax to discourage drinking it, particularly spirits like vodka. Wine is more reasonably priced at the lower end.
Hi, I really thought your mother tongue is English. You are really good of what you're doing. Love watching your videos. ❤
Ahh thank you so much ❤️❤️
The price of healthy food pisses us off too.
Bavarian? I am just guessing.
The most shocking thing about your video is how I can hear a cicada in the background. They are very plentiful in Kentucky and central united states; I would have never expected to hear cicadas in Australia. Keep up the great work!
Nope hehe from Leipzig :) and yeah I love them!!! ✨
your english is very good. we shorten worsds and talk fast so that our mouths are not open for long . it reduces the chance of eating flies.
winter is better ,no flies or very few. you should see how you manage with a fly plague. it happens every few years depending on rainfall heat etc.
You indeed speak fast and your English is good. Thanks for the information. I don't intend to face any snake or a spider.👍
4:45 - just buy Aerogard ! a product safe to spray on the skin / face it means flies will not come near your face or skin
The fly situation is ok most of the time, however, if we have a particularly wet season, when the weather starts to warm up, the humidity helps breed the flies and then they become a real pain.
In Victoria it’s 4 season very often I’ve found
We have more snow than the Swiss Apls in winter
Great video!
Those alcohol prices are quite a surprise, damn! And I would say what is even worse, that healthy food is that expensive!!
Nice list of shortened words :)
Cheers
Thank you! And yeah it was a big surprise to me as well haha
Yes exercise on spirits is very high in Australia because it absolutely destroys people’s health when drunk to excess and this results in high medical costs for the taxpayer.
I want to move there. But I feel like it’s so many questions I have because I want to study etc. do you know how school is? Is it hard to pass? Also are clothes/houses expensive?
It depends where you study but in general it’s not that hard :) and houses are definitely a bit more expensive but you also earn a lot more (usually around 24$ an hour)
Hey! Im Australian im happy to answer any questions you have :) school isn’t too hard to pass or anything it would be the same as anything. Houses are pretty expensive and clothes are around $30 a top so I guess it is :(
Everything is expensive in Australia, do your research before you take the plunge hun
Its only expensive if your not working here. Once you work and earn money here, it evens out. Theres jobs everywhere here if your keen enough and dont want to live in places like sydney, 2 hours north or south of Sydney is purely beaches and coastal towns.
Lili Beige wow i mean since the wage is higher $30 a top isn’t a lot because here in America where I live minimum wage is around $7-8 and it’s around $30-50 a top
Do no new backpackers even go to the library and read the Lonely Planet? Or any of the other hundreds of travel guides available?
I´m a new backpacker and I love to see other people´s experiencie, such as Emily´s. She makes it definitely not a lonely planet for viewers.
A bit of research into weather trends etc... you wouldn’t have had such trouble or surprise with half of these. There is a very short period of the year when bananas are a bit more $$$ but not that much. I’m in Melbourne not even near bananas growing. We had one year where it was more $$$ but that was from the cyclone destruction to the banana groves up north.
big plus for your English . enjoy your stay.
Thank you!!!!
natural products (like bananas as you mentioned) would cost more because they are grown locally. The money goes straight from your pocket to the people selling, so they choose the price. Now me living in Canada, all foods that are imported are cheap, because often imported foods rely on cheap labour from second, third and fourth world countries. Cheap labour means cheap product essentially.
Very true. A few years ago there was a move to import some bananas when much of our crop had been destroyed by a cyclone and it was forbidden Because Australia is free of the most common banana diseases that most other banana growing countries around the world have from time to time. So we will never be importing bananas from cheap labour countries. We do import some oranges from USA in the off-season because oranges are so seasonal, but there is no risk of disease with them. Not much else is imported afaik. Just a few specialty things like asparagus etc.
As an American it's funny hearing you say Australia is huge! It's about the same size as the U.S. (which is also huge lol)
hi! i wanted to go to Australia in the future but i’m kind of worried about the spiders 😅😅 would you reccomend brisbane? or would you reccomend Melbourne or Sydney
The spiders are everywhere, but the ones you usually see aren't the really venomous ones. Two to watch out for are the Sydney funnelweb and the red back spider (look them up). That said, just don't put your fingers or hands into any space where you can't see, including tide pools at the beach (some sea creatures are highly venomous), and be careful when turning over bits of rock or wood lying on the ground. I've lived in Sydney all my life and never seen a funnelweb, redback spider or blue-ringed octopus in the wild, and they can each kill you. But antivenom is readily available for the main venomous spiders and no-one has died in Australia from a confirmed spider bite since 1979.
And the trouble with Queensland is generally that it's hotter than further south, but the waters are full of marine stingers 😉
Brisbane does not have harmful spiders like Sydney and does not have flies like Melbourne. Truly not issues in Brisbane. The comment below about marine stingers in Queensland is nonsense. They are a problem on the mainland north of the Tropic of Capricorn in summer. They do not exist 400 miles to the south in the high population south-east comprising Gold Coast, Brisbane and Sunshine Coast.
@@phoarey Plenty of bêche de mer on the Gold Coast, though. I've personally sat on them. Brisbane also has just as many venomous snakes as Sydney, including the eastern brown which can be quite aggressive at certain times of year. There are cone shells in southern Queensland which includes Brisbane surrounds. I didn't say there were marine stingers in Brisbane but they certainly extend to the southern end of the Barrier Reef, a long way south of the Tropic of Capricorn.
Nice vlog dear.. can you tell me the bgm of your vlog at the end please..
I never went to uni and I have a job with a $125,000 a year salary. Going To university is an American thing, you don’t need to go to uni to succeed.
nice bro, what's your job?
@@alexevans9852 I’m a transport manager for a large logistics company.
Nice mannnnn
I'm between Melbourne, Sydney, and Adelaide. Young professional in early 20s & my job allows me to work remotely (anywhere). How plausible is relocating to Aussie Land in today's climate? Genuinely asking. Hoping to make the move by the end of this year or early 2022.
Perth native here. Immigration obviously came to a standstill during covid, but the borders are opening back up again and the job market is ridiculous atm, seriously you should absolutely no issue scoring a job and Australia is ALWAYS desperate for skilled workers (coz us Aussies are lazy as fuck lol).
Rent on the east coast is an absolute joke atm tho, sort out a place before you get here otherwise you'll end up staying at a hostel for like 2 months.
Sydney is one of the most expensive places to live in the world, so be very aware of that when finalising your plans. . . Personally I wouldn't recommend Sydney, I honestly consider it to be more or less the shittiest part of Australia. Go Melbourne or Brisbane if you have your heart set on the east coast.
If you're coming to stay I think the immigration process is roughly 6 months (our government has a massive hard-on for endless and meaningless paperwork).
I wouldn't bother having more than like $10k in savings when coming over. . . You can furnish a whole house for like $1k just off of gumtree (trading app), and scoring a good quality 2nd hand car is pretty cheap (my 08 rodeo only cost me $5k and that beast is going to outlive me by miles).
Come in autumn or spring, coz if you're not used to the heat trust me when I say you'll wanna ease into it. . . Perth has dry heat, Brisbane gets the humid heat (Brisbane in summer is like swimming through air, it's gross lol). It's 40° today in Perth and that's considered a very mild summer day, it'll hit 47-48° again very shortly.
But yeh. . . If you have any queries please reply, always up for enticing more foreigners to this ridiculous and awesome country :D
@@leviroch Hey Levi 👋 as you’re a Perth native, would you recommend moving there? I’m hoping to move over in March if the borders open 🤞 only choosing Perth because I have some friends there but don’t know whether I should expand my horizons!
@@katiekeenan8590 I most certainly do recommend it it :D
I am an Australian living in Vietnam (cheap country). Here I pay $3 for a litre of milk which costs $1 in Australia. I went back last year and bought a 250gm block of German chocolate for $2. Back in Vietnam, I don't buy chocolate because it costs $14 for the same one. All this and Aussies earn $24 per hr while Vietnamese earn $1 per hour. Life is tough in Australia.
OMG Things cost so much! OMG Australian wages are so high! Hmmm... I wonder if one offsets the other. Nice vid btw.
Don´t wonder, the good aspects outweigh. She´s clearly happy. Btw I see lack of that in the comments around here.
The Great Australian Salute: waving your hand in front of your face to displace the flies lol
Very good vlog
I live in Australia and I also I live in Sydney
It's a young persons country, as you have to adapted and assimilate to a modern environment.
Thank you
Good evening Emily,
I just saw your video, and i have a question for you please
I am a junior architect with +1 year of experience and different skills. I graduated with distinction from a "NECHE" accredited university.
Due to many things happening in my country, i'm starting to consider migration as an option for a better future. And i need someone's advice,
What can you advice me concerning migrating to Australia, is it worth it for an architect and a better future?
Thank you for your time
I honestly have no idea what the job situation is like for architects but the average wage in Australia is much higher than in most other countries xx it’s a lovely country to live in
@@travelwithlille Thank you for your answer. Yes exactly, that's what i heard. x
