Thank you so much! Your comment made my day. It definitely took me sometime to adapt to Perth when I first came here (ps I LOVE Singapore). After some time, I actually feel that Perth is such an uncovered gem! Will definitely share more of it with others 😊
Perth is way more affordable and a much more relaxed place to live in. The reason people end up in Sydney and Melbourne is because they want to stay close to family and relatives or that's where they just ended up for work or study reasons. Public transport in Sydney CBD is also better then Perth and only crowded during new years eve fireworks or train strikes. Work from home culture is never going away and Sydney transport is no longer crowded like it used to be. Great video BTW :) A+
It’s also more racist than Sydney and Melbourne on par with Queensland as a whole. Heard Adelaide is better based on two friends who hail from Zimbabwe
PS DID YOU GUYS KNOW SINGAPOREANS IS THE 2nd LARGEST COMMUNITY IN PERTH? It’s right behind Malaysians. Our community is huge here, but not as huge as our neighbour haha. Basically if you go anywhere in Perth (esp city), you can easily spot a Singaporean(:
@3:53 Singaporean here. SG is essentially a mini-China and if think its the best, you obviously never been to China. The trains have 1 minute frequencies and so high tech.. Cheers!
I've travelled all around Australia and many major and smaller sizes cities in Europe and I think Perth and Western Australia wins hands down, but then I'm bias I live here. You're right in point there is plenty to do especially if your active and in to outdoors activities. Personally I love the wild life, it's everywhere. But I think the most endearing thing is the culture where no matter where you come from in the world you are judged by your character nothing else. I live in a street with probably 20 different cultures and that's the norm. A walk along the 5 kms of restaurants and bars in Victoria and East Victoria park and take a pick of many different cultures cuisines from some 200 nationalities. The smells of different foods fill the air and it is such a treat to explore. But best of all is the isolation. The world is in turmoil and we are a long way from all the problems but I'm not talking about that type of isolation. I'm talking about real isolation hundreds of kilometers from everything. That sense of being totally alone and no one, no cars, no people, no shops, no taps for water nothing but the quiet, interrupted only by the calls of the abundant wildlife. Once you get used to it the process of merging with nature begins. You look up in to a clear night sky and you even feel part of the cosmos, just breath taking. But above all else it is a family city geared for families, it's not a tourist city as such. So no matter which way you explore there is always accommodation for families and heaps of things for kids to enjoy and the most fun places are free. My pick Penguin Island, especially in sea gull nesting season. Between thousands of squawking sea gulls, skink lizards trying to steal their eggs, penguins breading, dolphins, a resident sea lion and of course tiny fairy penguins in the sanctuary, beautiful shaded picnic areas and a short inexpensive boat ride to the island it's a delightful and action packed day out that the kids will love. Thanks again young lady that was nice.
reason singapore has a good public transport system, its to do with scale. Singapore is tiny (702km2) vs perth (6500+km2) in terms of area, nearly 10 times the size. Singapore is a city state country all in one. Perth is a city in a State that makes up the western half of the continent. Hence cost to build transport networks is cheaper over there as nodes and locations are closer. not to mention cheap labour there too as most construction workers are either from bangladesh/india/nepal. We are getting there in terms of public transport, it will take time as population grows.
Perth's location makes it expensive to fly to other Australian cities or overseas and the options for entertainment and international food is limied. Corporate job opportunities are limited to mining. I've lived in Sydney and Melbourne, both are super expensive and the average income earner is only able to afford a 2 bedroom apartment. My suggestion is Brisbane, though its quickly getting more expensive. Great weather, good options to have a short road trip, friendlier locals and tons of good beaches.
The Australian experience is transitory for most Singaporeans, at least IME - come here, finish their degree and return to Singapore. That's how student visas are SUPPOSED to work, but someone forgot to tell Indian and Bangladeshi students. Thanks for the video.
Im One of them who wants to keep Perth a low profile....So Stop Showcasing Perth to the World, I like it just the way it is... We dont need more population, As it is, its getting worst here thanks to you.....
@@skyearthyx Central Coast, South of Wollongong and the Blue Mountains. IMHO, anywhere near the water. Easy to do a day trip to Sydney CBD. But do note that many Asians, especially the Young ones, like a crowded city.
Perth was paradise when it had less than 1 million people. Poor people lived near the beach and the river and still just 15 or 20 mins from the centre. 35 years later we have 3 million living here and poor people are stuck in tiny flats or way out in the wastelands of the outer suburbs. Still a fabulous city, but sadly getting bigger and denser by the day.
Even at 1.5 million Perth was ok. Brisbane and Perth used to be good places to live. Brisbane in particular is just crazy now, traffic is horrendous, aircraft noise beoming a serious problem too. The arterial road near me has gone from 68 000 vpd in mid 2019 to almost 100 000 now, this is ruining quality of life. Got a 170 000 vehicle a day freeway near me also.
I'm born in Melbourne, Australia and I hate it, it's just too big, too many people and Sydney I also hate, too big population I love Adelaide and Hobart, more suitable for me
*Eastern State people moving to WA so price will skyrocket and more people to crowded. Not a place for me to work in my career, as for me simple 5 minute reach to work, 10 minutes reach post office bank buy lotto and shops, there is no else interesting go to just everyday same, if only can stand forests and dullness.*
Yes I’m Singaporean. It was purely based on the fact that public transport is so efficient in Singapore that there’s no need for majority Singaporeans to learn how to drive.

I migrated to Perth 50 years ago and continue to live here. It is a great city.
It definitely is (:

Hi fellow Singaporean! Definitely there are countries with efficient transportation too 😄 What’s your favourite place in China?
Where is all that happening?

I wholeheartedly agree with what you said, Perth is a special place. Thanks for leaving your thoughts, appreciate it. 😊

No problem 😊 what do you want to see about Perth next?
@@skyearthyx I hear they have the only river in Oz that never floods - is that true ?
Thankyou for a really informative video
I'm Aussie and never been to Singapore
Thanks for your comment. Glad you enjoyed it! What other topics should I cover?
Love the editing ❤
Perth is the best I used to live there until I went more down south
Agreed! Do you have any favourite places to go in Perth?
@@skyearthyx I like a speed boat that was in Fremantle you should visit it it was really fun. And you should get some spare cloths if you go
@@68kWeetbix oooo sounds fun!! Will check it out (:
Perth is also known as Singaperth. Hordes of Singaporeans congregate there.
Congregate where exactly? 🤔
PLEASE which beach is that at 00:25?
It’s one of the beaches in Esperance
Im One of them who wants to keep Perth a low profile....So Stop Showcasing Perth to the World, I like it just the way it is... We dont need more population, As it is, its getting worst here thanks to you.....
Okay 🤫
There are many places around Sydney.
Only the silly choose to live in Sydney...it's a nightmare.
Agreed. What’s the best suburb near Sydney in your opinion?
@@skyearthyx
Central Coast, South of Wollongong and the Blue Mountains.
IMHO, anywhere near the water.
Easy to do a day trip to Sydney CBD.
But do note that many Asians, especially the Young ones, like a crowded city.
Coming back to Singapore?
Not anytime soon 😅

Compared to Singapore where I’m from, it’s not that dense. Still is paradise now, but don’t know about the future 🤔

I'm born in Melbourne, Australia and I hate it, it's just too big, too many people and Sydney I also hate, too big population
I love Adelaide and Hobart, more suitable for me
The entire State has less than 3 million residents.
We need to tone it down on this gem 🤫
Perth has no jobs but it a good holiday place to go. I still like Sydney more
Perth is deffo chill
*Eastern State people moving to WA so price will skyrocket and more people to crowded. Not a place for me to work in my career, as for me simple 5 minute reach to work, 10 minutes reach post office bank buy lotto and shops, there is no else interesting go to just everyday same, if only can stand forests and dullness.*
You dont sound like a Singaporean. Did you say Singaporeans dont know how to drive? Since when?
Yes I’m Singaporean. It was purely based on the fact that public transport is so efficient in Singapore that there’s no need for majority Singaporeans to learn how to drive.
So it means you have the whole land to yourself muhaha (joking)😊
Haha! Have you been to Perth?
@@skyearthyx no . Have you been to any other states ?
