Well done and well said. Welcome to Oz. I was born here in 1949. Many things have changed in my 74 years. Trams came and went and then came again. Trains changed from steam to diesel and then electricity. Cars were small - we had a Morris Minor which could carry Mum, Dad, two grand mothers and two small kids. The kids did not have seats. The beach was free and still is. Sydney has grown from a small city with outlying villages to a HUGE city. It is still a great place. Mike in Oz
You forgot that there is late night shopping on Thursdays until 9 pm . Kebab shops often close late . There are some cafe’s in Sydney’s CBD that close later .
We have Thursday night shopping too, in most places.
There are 24/7 KMart stores in various suburbs in Sydney if you really want to shop for clothes or homewares after most stores close.
Cool video. Only thing I'd say is that Sydney doesn't have dry heat - it's humid heat in summer. Not as humid as other parts of Australia, though 😊
excellent video, cheers, hope it all goes well for you🙂
It’s all part of the work life balance. Weekend is for shopping for clothes if you work later. There’s plenty of time to get what you need. Everyone deserves time off. We only work to live we don’t live to work. I was so flabbergasted when I stayed at the MGM hotel in Las Vegas and wanted to swim in the pool, I had to pay to get in and for the beach towel use. It’s free here in Australia and part of the privilege of being a guest at the hotel.
But, but... what if I HAVE to have those shoes and it's late night?

Then go to Kmart which has several 24/7 stores in various suburbs around Sydney. I have one about 5 minutes drive away. Popped in there at about 11pm last week.
Cooking facilities for barbecues in parks are usually free too. Just clean up when you are finished
I think your opinion very nice,because japanese always work a lot of time
Wonderful video. Except in Canberra, we can enter the minuses in winter and have a daytime temp of 7 degrees. But only in winter. We have been known to hit 40 degrees in Summer....
We have better things to do than stand behind a counter after hours serving someone.
LOL.we prefer paying people starvation wages to do that for us.
I still think most Australians need a car, unless you live in the CBD of one of the large cities.
Haven't owned a car for 25 years, so many other options.
Lol, there are hundreds of thousands of people in my home town of Los Angeles that don’t have a car. There is a vast bus, subway, light rail system through out the city. Even subway from downtown to airport or beach. But as in Australia most people still need a car. Now in New York City you can go literally everywhere by subway. There is no city in Australia like that.@@TerryT304
Have you ever stayed for any time outside of Sydney? I suggest you spend a bit of time in Newcastle to understand actual shopping and eating out.
Late night shopping is only one night a week in most places. Either Thursday or Friday.
Welcome to Australia! This was a good video but saying you have to wait for the weekend to shop isn’t quite accurate (unless you live somewhere rural perhaps). All Australian cities and suburban shopping complexes have late night shopping until 9pm on at least one night - usually Friday.
I was going to say the same. However in Sydney we have extended shopping hours until 9:00pm on Thursdays. Also, KMart is open until 10:00pm most nights, same with Woolworths and Coles supermarkets. We have late night pharmacies too. All the opening hours for these businesses are easily found online. My local Woolworths store is open until midnight.
@@epektasis242 Melbourne has always had late night shopping on Fridays and in recent years added Thursdays.
@@epektasis242ACT always had Friday as late night which was handy because we just had to cross the border into Queanbeyan on Thursday nights.
@@r.fairlie7186 Extend that to include Newcastle. And Wollongong. And Dubbo. And Tamworth. And Wagga Wagga. And Albury. And Coffs. And Ballina etc etc etc.
Thursday is late night shopping to 9 PM.in most places
Interesting take on cash . As an Aussie most of my transactions are cash .
That's got nothing to do with being Aussie - you choose to use cash. I haven't used cash regularly in years because I don't want to.
She was spot on about people not paying cash.. some businesses don’t even let you pay in cash.
If you're on a limited income you lose track of how much you have spent. Having cash limits your/my spending to what I know I can afford.
Exactly, in America all places accept cash. When I use my credit cards, I tend to spend more money, not feeling like I'm parting with something, so sometimes I will pay in cash.@@zalired8925
I haven't used cash for years now. I only learnt the other day there are new banknotes in circulation. Looks pretty.
Thanks, I really enjoyed that!
Brisbane can get down to 0 degrees in some winters & summer can get to 40+.
Hello,we in Australia work to live and not live to work,so with our 38 hour working week,if shops were open to long the they will need to start paying overtime and such,so that extra cost would go onto prices,with living in Northern Tassie,Coles and Woolworths are open from 7am to 10 pm,7 days a week and Kmart 24/7,plus with the 2 supermarkets there is you order online and get your groceries delivered to your door,plus so many people ordering clothes on line,it is a question if it is viable for a lot of stores to be open later.
This is a great video! Thank youu
Late night shopping Thursday n Friday plus I’m from Melbourne
I'm Australian and prefer using cash and prefer my own car for long distance travel..
Agree with everything except that the public transport runs on time. Australia though generally has quite a lot of options, is behind many countries worldwide in terms of reliability
Winter is one advantage Sydney has over Melbourne. Winter in Melbourne can be long and cold. But not freezing.
Brisbane has the best weather year round. Those southern states get way too cold.
@@sprig5173I found Brisbane summer pretty hard to take - so hot and humid
very insightful
❤❤❤
That was great!
Everywhere had one night during the working week with late night shopping. Educate yourself and look outside Sydney.
2:26 i didn't think my train station would be in this video lmao
Not so much a comparison between Australia and elsewhere, more a comparison between Sydney and elsewhere. Australia is so much more than Sydney, in fact having lived in Sydney for a number of years I would say “it is a great place to visit but I wouldn’t want to live there”.
Australia 🇦🇺 is a great 😊 country. I left the Philippines 🇵🇭 and migrated At United States 🇺🇸. But I preferred moving in Australia 🇦🇺 at Sydney mwah 😽 I love ❤️ Australia 🇦🇺
Sydney centered comments where the climate is not as good as she sees it. People from the southern regions think is too humid. Remember that Australia is a very large tropical country (no 2 or 3 in the world). Climate varies because it is a continent and north-south is a bit more than 2500km.
Come out to the outback, tell me then you dont need a car.
wow this video has gone viral for you
You can live here without a car - in the major cities. If you want to be a tourist you'll need a car.
Take care kabayan more videos about Australia 🇦🇺 please I like your videos. Because I’m still new here at Australia 🇦🇺. 10 years At United States 🇺🇸 Las Vegas Nevada. 3 months here at Sydney Australia 🇦🇺. I like more than US.
People don't use cash because they are lazy.
Also the 6pm closing is very traditional and old school. I'm surprised this is not starting to change to a more modern approach.
Closing early is encouraged to employers and employees to have quality time to be with family.
Agree with her - Australia is terrible on a world scale for its shopping hours compared to other world cities. Is that bad? only if you are use to this lifestyle instead of the Aussie laid back one.
@urbanblocks2698 The vast majority of the US/Canada, Western Europe, the Middle East, and most Asian countries have options that allow for extended trading, not always 24/7, but definitely better than sleepy pre modern tradition of early closing trading. Australia will never be modernised until it surpasses, trading times of the 1950's and 1960's.
@@InstrumenttechSubicBayPlenty of workers and traders, are uni or school students, single or young, even post raising kids, sure, this is one factor, but employees are more than just one element of families. Retirees can shop during they day, but the majority of people arw working 9-5, and everything is closed by the time they have the earliest opportunity to shop or get essentials.
@@urbanblocks2698Even with the laconic aussie lifestyle, it is still extremely restrictive.
Wow
❤❤❤
Is this about ping pong?
nice!
PERFECTO
I liked this
Australians don't "acclimate", they acclimatise.
Move to Darwin if you love being hot and sweaty.
😆
❤❤❤
You like Korean accent in speaking English, silent r. 😊
Gosh the transportation in United States 🇺🇸 is horrible. You will really need a car 🚗. Australia 🇦🇺 is better that’s true.
素敵な洋服です(ʘᴗʘ✿)
💞💞💞
Resorts are free??? Not!!!!
She said she was going to free beaches.However most have parking charges.
@@lynncaldwell8345 I've never been to a beach where you have to pay
@@trekkie-cat Don.t try beaches like Bondi then.
I mean parking costs.The beach is free.You can go by public transport and skip the expensive parking
Really maybe it's time you went home !!!!
The sound quality is so bad I can't understand what you're saying...
@devo, get your hearing checked bro🤣, I could understand every word and I am a 56 year old Aussie
Fair go. The sound was fine.
Are you a nurse? So many filos here now and you're allllll nurses. Is there a coming world war we don't know about? 😂😂😂😜
Annoying background music, so annoying that I turned the video off at 1:25,
