I’ll never forget my friend going on a job in California and me getting a text from him saying he ordered pizza for delivery and then ordered Skyrim for Switch off Amazon now and wanted to see which would arrive first. The future is now. Also, Skyrim won.
oof. reminds me of a few months ago when some guys stole the internet column and I had to wait like 4 months until my ISP put some new ones. I did have internet but I was like, that cable can break at any moment
I used to be so pissed when I’m riding a bus and it idles at a stop for a couple minutes because the bus driver says “we’re ahead of schedule”. Doesn’t happen often because of NYC traffic, but when it does, it was annoying because I just want to get where I’m going. Usually the buses run often enough (especially during rush hour) that missing one doesn’t affect you that much (one bus every 15 minutes or so at the latest, the buses I take in the morning leave like once every 5 minutes or so), and now that they have GPS tracking in them and you can check an app to see how long until the next bus arrives, I’ve gotten less pissed at it.
Package delivery in Japan is insane! I recently moved and ordered a washer and refrigerator on Amazon. I scheduled it to arrive at 1pm. They literally arrived and phoned me at 1pm on the dot. They then proceeded to unbox and install both my fridge and washer, for no charge. Absolutely amazing.
As a brazilian who`s lived for a while in Sydney, I had never seen a public transportation that worked so well before. Everytime the buses and trains were on time, maybe a little bit late, but sure never like here, where we just gotta hope something comes within one hour of the expected
Me: "-Wow Amazon delivers IN THE SAME WEEK in my country!!! this is the future, this is revolutionarie" Trash taste boyz: "Yeah same day delivery sometimes I order drinks from Amazon and it arrives a hour later"
It takes me a week or two to get Amazon packages in my part of Australia. One time it took 4 weeks, but that may have been a one-off thing. I don't order from there anymore, I didn't know other people got much faster delivery times and now I'm sad.

As a Colombian, I know that buses never have schedules anywhere, scheduled buses are a myth. You just go to the stop (if it's one if the "good buses") and wait until one that works for you shows up. If it's one of the crappy buses you just walk out and grab it wherever you are standing
For me it's a bit difficult. On the one hand, barely any socialising, constant fear and sub-zero weather. On the other hand, penguins. So anyway penguins win.
Colombian here (latino), some bad stuff here without getting political: Buses don't have schedules, you just go to the “station”, which is basically a big bench with a roof if it's fancy and be lucky the one you need arrives. Wifi is garbage because what they do is they give you a extremely bad rooter, and then you have to pay for another device so you get better WiFi. Buying stuff online is difficult because of scams, stuff like amazon and sites like that don't really exists, if you buy something from there you spend more money on the delivering than what the product was worth. Everything imported is hella expensive, for reference, a Switch Light here is the same price as a normal Switch in USA. Yeah, thank you for reading my Ted Talk.
The bus issue is the same here in Puerto Rico. We have established schedules, but the buses show up at basically whenever they can. I once spent 3 hours waiting for a bus after leaving school early and I just straight up walked home cause I was so done with that shit. Deliveries and importing stuff from outside the US is a nightmare since most places don’t deliver here; they have to deliver to the US, and THEN here from the US and that shit is expensive and fucking stupid. WiFi fucking blows here, too, and don’t even get me started on how fucked the electricity infrastructure is here. We used to have CONSTANT power outages since before Hurricane Maria. It’s a mess.

"There's NO Perfect Place to Live" Me, as a 3rd worlder: Nah, I'm pretty sure Western Europe, Japan, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand are perfect. Although to be fair, the internet Connor and Joey described is pretty bad.
singapore has single digit pings in many games and we have a pretty reliable public transport system, but the price of houses and cars are fucking insane
As a Polish, I really appreciate InPost solution for deliveries (Paczkomat, I can explain in case someone's curious). And with transport... train will be late, during rush hours bus schedule in a city is pure fiction, trams are a bit better unless there are traffic jams on narrow streets, wrongly parked cars or derailings. And don't go near stadiums on matchday. Or outside during a derby day. On a positive note, free state universities which are better than private if you were good enough on a school-leaving exam
I seriously have to tell my siblings to get their phones off of the WiFi just to play an online game, I’ve shot up to 20,000 ping before and the entire console just crashed. No questions asked, just crashed the entire console. I usually have around 200-300 ping and I see that as good
The busses thing is absolutely normal in Poland, I just got really used to the schedule being a rough estimate that it doesn't really bother me anymore. Also there used to be shit loads of jokes about how you don't know if the one coming is first one being really late or next one being early.
1:30 Love how Connor talks about copper wire like it's some ancient shit from medieval times, meanwhile here in Germany it's still over 50% of our network infrastructure. I've been there for the better part of my life, and I would rather live of bread and water and sleep on the floor than goping back to the days of (not even stable) 3 Mbit/s download. No joke, when it comes to the network, Germany is a 3rd world country in a lot of areas.
I don't get this. Coaxial cables are copper and i can get 1gbps connection on them in my city in a commie block from the 80s. Are you talking about phone lines? Like xDSL?
I don't really get it myself. Where i live the isp just switched to fiber optic cable stating that its faster than copper. Meanwhile the speeds they were offering was nowhere near the limit of copper cables. Maybe for future proofing?
Living in Ottawa, Canada. Pros: We have an Amazon distribution center in town, lots of government jobs, not much crime, clean city relatively, all services are available, you can live in the country and commute into town, our river is eventually connected to the ocean if you wanna own a boat. Cons: Our transportation system is a joke, nothing to do other than sit at home, it's either a frigid hellscape or it's the surface of the sun with 150% humidity, it takes hours to get to Montreal or Toronto other than that you're talking days by car or an entire day by plane to get anywhere in North America, if you want to go outside of NA then you're talking thousands of dollars, hours on a plane, and multiple connecting flights, the weather sucks ass so the there is little outdoor shopping, it's all depressing malls. Basically if you want a stable job and a decent house in the suburbs to raise a family, great place. If you're young and you want to have a social life and go out and do things, eat at restaurants, visit attractions, it's shit. It's also shit if you want to travel anywhere because you need to fly and need to connect through other cities, so you lose a full day flying there, and another back, and it costs a lot.
The only i know in the philipines when having a vacation is that the internet is whack i think they said to me that if you pay low you get shit net and if you pay more you still get shit net but a little bit better
The bus not stopping in your bus stop that’s here Edmonton Canada, I’ve experienced that twice; the first one was when I was in high school, luckily my high school is a 20-30 minute walk, and snowed pretty heavily, so I wasn’t really looking forward to walking through all that snow, if not I would’ve been late; the second time is when I was going to work, but this time my work is really far away, that I actually needed that bus. So I just phoned my supervisor tell her, I’m going to be a little bit late, thankfully she was very understanding supervisor.
The Australian college experience is trekking down to the campus library with your laptop so you could torrent episodes of The Walking Dead and Game of Thrones on free wifi.
Living in the middle of Canada, I haven't had a package delivered in under a week EVER. I have prime too, and my last package took 8 business days. My internet is great tho so I guess that's the trade off
annnnd that's why when I went to college I rented an apartment instead of a shared house. At the same time it wasn't that costy since it wasn't a big city , about 400$ CAD per month , Electricity included.
I remember playing online with some friends. We were on VC and as time passed on while we were waiting in the lobby, our laughs got louder and louder because my ping just kept rising and rising (you can see everyone's ping). At first it was 300 then 700 until it peaked at 1500.
At least you have timetables for your bus joey. Where i live it's more of a wait and hope that the line/s you use will arrive in time though on weekdays as long as you go early most people make it. Edit: I still don't have fucking amazon
You have to experience the bad to appreciate the good! I miss traveling and not just that, we have a lot of state border closures in Australia (I live in NSW where Joey's family is I think) so I can't travel to other states. Sydney's transport is a bit better now... in most areas! We now have aps that track the train and buses so you know when the bus / train is coming. The people from the UK tell me it's a lot better than London and Melbourne. I used to complain about Sydney and had a lot of pet peeves. After a few years living in Japan, I now love Sydney. It made me appreciate a lot of things. We have good weather, good food, beautiful scenery, beaches, lots of space, low covid rates and a good quality of life. Right now, I wouldn't want to be anywhere else in the world. I loved Japan when I lived there but sometimes there were so many things I missed when I was there. There are talks that Aust is trying to reach a travel bubble agreement with other countries to allow travel to like countries with low covid rates. Japan is one of them so I remain hopeful that if that's the case, I will be able to visit maybe next year. I don't know if people appreciate how tough it is working in Japan. The wages are not terribly high and they promote people based on age. If you work in a company as a "salaryman" you will be expected to work 12-14 hours a day and 7 days a week. If you're a woman, you have little chance of leading or progressing unless you land a job in a "foreign" company with leaders who "understand". In terms of job prospects, maternity leave, progression, sexual harassment, union laws Japan is archaic. I love it but I know that I'd never get anywhere in my career there. Women are expected to get married and make babies by 30 so if you're still in the workforce, you're an old maid etc. I have a lot of Japanese friends in Aust and some have no interest in returning to the restrictive life in Japan. Especially if they're female and enjoy the independence here. Work life is tough. Mind you, I do work 10-12 hours in an Aussie company when I'm busy but at least I get to take annual leave (not a possibility in Japan!). If you're a foreigner in Japan and even if you have a Japanese wife/spouse, you will always be on a foreign visa and casual contract when you work in a company. They don't make foreigners permanent employees. You will never be entitled to the same benefits as a Japanese citizen. A lot of union laws/rights we take for granted in the European Union, Australia and the UK will not apply in Japan unless you work for a progressive international company. Not everyone is gonna be a youtuber, influencer or have that job that allows the freedom to be creative etc. Believe me I would rather work in Australia with the "slow" internet (It's better these days!) and get my weekends off to enjoy life etc. A lot of european, UK and Australian culture is focused on work-life balance; this does not exist in Japan!
You guys atleast getting bus. When i was in school i have to walk 10km to go school. Our school works 10:00 am - 4:00pm and buses timing was 10:30 AM - 3:30 PM.
У нас русских, есть замечательная цитата из одного из наших классиков: «- Где ж лучше? - Где нас нет». We, russians, have a great quote about it from one of our classical authors: “ -Where is the better? - Where aren’t us”.
The funniest thing about them constantly complaining about copper wires is that I have 1000mpbs download on coax. I assume they're talking about ADSL though.
Wow I've never had these problems. In the States, at least where I live, if a package is delivered and your not there, they just leave it at your door. I've never had a pick up window situation. Furthermore, I have prime and my packages arrive anywhere from the day I ordered it to sometime in the next 2 or 3 days.
This is why cloud gaming such as Stadia and xCloud will never succeed. Even with the best internet connection (which none of us has), games tend to stutter at times which ruins the whole experience

"There's NO Perfect Place to Live"
Me, as a 3rd worlder: Nah, I'm pretty sure Western Europe, Japan, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand are perfect.
Although to be fair, the internet Connor and Joey described is pretty bad.
They are great if you have a couple of million $ laying around so you can afford a place to live 😂
Same here. I mean it's not 'perfect' but it's better where i live
It's better if you have the money, if you don't good luck begging in the street.
@ What does Germany do to solve poverty?
@ Oh, wow. Must be nice to be German. Basically, your country's poor are my country's middle-class.

singapore has single digit pings in many games and we have a pretty reliable public transport system, but the price of houses and cars are fucking insane
why would you need a car in singapore?
As a Polish, I really appreciate InPost solution for deliveries (Paczkomat, I can explain in case someone's curious). And with transport... train will be late, during rush hours bus schedule in a city is pure fiction, trams are a bit better unless there are traffic jams on narrow streets, wrongly parked cars or derailings. And don't go near stadiums on matchday. Or outside during a derby day. On a positive note, free state universities which are better than private if you were good enough on a school-leaving exam
Thank you! I’ve lived internationally since I was 8 and I’m 20 now. The biggest thing that I learned over my life is that nowhere is perfect to live.
I seriously have to tell my siblings to get their phones off of the WiFi just to play an online game, I’ve shot up to 20,000 ping before and the entire console just crashed. No questions asked, just crashed the entire console. I usually have around 200-300 ping and I see that as good
« Get off your phone! »
Heard that yesterday, not even kidding.
And we still have copper wires.
I live in the past.
The busses thing is absolutely normal in Poland, I just got really used to the schedule being a rough estimate that it doesn't really bother me anymore.
Also there used to be shit loads of jokes about how you don't know if the one coming is first one being really late or next one being early.

1:30 Love how Connor talks about copper wire like it's some ancient shit from medieval times, meanwhile here in Germany it's still over 50% of our network infrastructure. I've been there for the better part of my life, and I would rather live of bread and water and sleep on the floor than goping back to the days of (not even stable) 3 Mbit/s download. No joke, when it comes to the network, Germany is a 3rd world country in a lot of areas.
I don't get this. Coaxial cables are copper and i can get 1gbps connection on them in my city in a commie block from the 80s. Are you talking about phone lines? Like xDSL?
I don't really get it myself. Where i live the isp just switched to fiber optic cable stating that its faster than copper. Meanwhile the speeds they were offering was nowhere near the limit of copper cables. Maybe for future proofing?
Rural German busses:
Oh? you wanna get to the next city which is 10 minutes drive? Better call the busdriver and wait 2 hours.
everything has their own shit, it's only a matter of how prominent that shit is and how much are you willing to put up with it

Living in Ottawa, Canada.
Pros:
We have an Amazon distribution center in town, lots of government jobs, not much crime, clean city relatively, all services are available, you can live in the country and commute into town, our river is eventually connected to the ocean if you wanna own a boat.
Cons:
Our transportation system is a joke, nothing to do other than sit at home, it's either a frigid hellscape or it's the surface of the sun with 150% humidity, it takes hours to get to Montreal or Toronto other than that you're talking days by car or an entire day by plane to get anywhere in North America, if you want to go outside of NA then you're talking thousands of dollars, hours on a plane, and multiple connecting flights, the weather sucks ass so the there is little outdoor shopping, it's all depressing malls.
Basically if you want a stable job and a decent house in the suburbs to raise a family, great place. If you're young and you want to have a social life and go out and do things, eat at restaurants, visit attractions, it's shit. It's also shit if you want to travel anywhere because you need to fly and need to connect through other cities, so you lose a full day flying there, and another back, and it costs a lot.
If you start moving, you will constantly move because you will miss someting or be in discomfort with someting
5:50 so thats fucking why max always used ebay to check his Pokémon cards
In the Philippines... You guys have transport?
Jokes aside. I grew up walking a mile just to go to school
That's normal tho? It's only a 12 min walk, so i don't really get your point
nobody uses miles in the philippines
We've been using the metric system for a long time. Maybe this person lived at USA or UK
The only i know in the philipines when having a vacation is that the internet is whack i think they said to me that if you pay low you get shit net and if you pay more you still get shit net but a little bit better

The bus not stopping in your bus stop that’s here Edmonton Canada, I’ve experienced that twice; the first one was when I was in high school, luckily my high school is a 20-30 minute walk, and snowed pretty heavily, so I wasn’t really looking forward to walking through all that snow, if not I would’ve been late; the second time is when I was going to work, but this time my work is really far away, that I actually needed that bus. So I just phoned my supervisor tell her, I’m going to be a little bit late, thankfully she was very understanding supervisor.
In Ecuador I live in fucking fear every time I take the bus.
People can rob you, in there and you don't know who could be.
0:36 So Garnt fly's somewhere every 8 months? That's crazy to me
2:38 You have a timetable for buses? Here in Brazil buses pass whenever they want, if they want and they dont have the concept of 'full'
The Australian college experience is trekking down to the campus library with your laptop so you could torrent episodes of The Walking Dead and Game of Thrones on free wifi.
Meanwhile I just want to live somewhere where the internet connection is good enough.
I live in USA in the country, but still... like 15 mins outside a college town. We had DSL (10mbps) until last week, now it’s fiber and we get ✨20✨ 😭
Living in the middle of Canada, I haven't had a package delivered in under a week EVER. I have prime too, and my last package took 8 business days. My internet is great tho so I guess that's the trade off
Meanwhile here in the Philippines: "Filipinos are paying one of the most expensive, but slowest Internet services in the world"
And that's why I don't want to move out from my city when I do eventually move out.
annnnd that's why when I went to college I rented an apartment instead of a shared house.
At the same time it wasn't that costy since it wasn't a big city , about 400$ CAD per month , Electricity included.
I remember playing online with some friends. We were on VC and as time passed on while we were waiting in the lobby, our laughs got louder and louder because my ping just kept rising and rising (you can see everyone's ping). At first it was 300 then 700 until it peaked at 1500.
At least you have timetables for your bus joey. Where i live it's more of a wait and hope that the line/s you use will arrive in time though on weekdays as long as you go early most people make it.
Edit: I still don't have fucking amazon
Earth is no place for living

You have to experience the bad to appreciate the good! I miss traveling and not just that, we have a lot of state border closures in Australia (I live in NSW where Joey's family is I think) so I can't travel to other states. Sydney's transport is a bit better now... in most areas! We now have aps that track the train and buses so you know when the bus / train is coming. The people from the UK tell me it's a lot better than London and Melbourne. I used to complain about Sydney and had a lot of pet peeves. After a few years living in Japan, I now love Sydney. It made me appreciate a lot of things. We have good weather, good food, beautiful scenery, beaches, lots of space, low covid rates and a good quality of life. Right now, I wouldn't want to be anywhere else in the world. I loved Japan when I lived there but sometimes there were so many things I missed when I was there. There are talks that Aust is trying to reach a travel bubble agreement with other countries to allow travel to like countries with low covid rates. Japan is one of them so I remain hopeful that if that's the case, I will be able to visit maybe next year.
I don't know if people appreciate how tough it is working in Japan. The wages are not terribly high and they promote people based on age. If you work in a company as a "salaryman" you will be expected to work 12-14 hours a day and 7 days a week. If you're a woman, you have little chance of leading or progressing unless you land a job in a "foreign" company with leaders who "understand". In terms of job prospects, maternity leave, progression, sexual harassment, union laws Japan is archaic. I love it but I know that I'd never get anywhere in my career there. Women are expected to get married and make babies by 30 so if you're still in the workforce, you're an old maid etc. I have a lot of Japanese friends in Aust and some have no interest in returning to the restrictive life in Japan. Especially if they're female and enjoy the independence here. Work life is tough. Mind you, I do work 10-12 hours in an Aussie company when I'm busy but at least I get to take annual leave (not a possibility in Japan!). If you're a foreigner in Japan and even if you have a Japanese wife/spouse, you will always be on a foreign visa and casual contract when you work in a company. They don't make foreigners permanent employees. You will never be entitled to the same benefits as a Japanese citizen. A lot of union laws/rights we take for granted in the European Union, Australia and the UK will not apply in Japan unless you work for a progressive international company. Not everyone is gonna be a youtuber, influencer or have that job that allows the freedom to be creative etc. Believe me I would rather work in Australia with the "slow" internet (It's better these days!) and get my weekends off to enjoy life etc. A lot of european, UK and Australian culture is focused on work-life balance; this does not exist in Japan!

You guys atleast getting bus. When i was in school i have to walk 10km to go school. Our school works 10:00 am - 4:00pm and buses timing was 10:30 AM - 3:30 PM.
Funny.. Joey is talking abt Australia having Amazon now. And Garnt talking abt Amazon Now.
У нас русских, есть замечательная цитата из одного из наших классиков:
«- Где ж лучше?
- Где нас нет».
We, russians, have a great quote about it from one of our classical authors:
“ -Where is the better?
- Where aren’t us”.
Sounds like the same sentiment as "the grass is always greener on the other side".
We have something similar in India too that says

British buses are basically 1 minute away for 10 minutes
The funniest thing about them constantly complaining about copper wires is that I have 1000mpbs download on coax. I assume they're talking about ADSL though.
Wow I've never had these problems. In the States, at least where I live, if a package is delivered and your not there, they just leave it at your door. I've never had a pick up window situation. Furthermore, I have prime and my packages arrive anywhere from the day I ordered it to sometime in the next 2 or 3 days.

This is why cloud gaming such as Stadia and xCloud will never succeed. Even with the best internet connection (which none of us has), games tend to stutter at times which ruins the whole experience
True dat
Back in Melbourne they categorized train that is 8 mins late as 'on time'.
Philippines Internet speed kinda sucks sometimes too especially if you are not wifi and you are using data. People here pay expensive a mount of cash to have a good internet speed especially for work and school.
Why does this sound like a business opportunity...
