Australian reacts is a series of checking out a whole range of international videos, based around history, peoples findings or even just random little facts. Some videos teach us more about a countries history and others open the door to something we never knew. Meanwhile any videos on Australia get measure up against real knowledge from a local of "the land down-under". Overall we get to see a glimpse of what this incredible world has to offer and have some laughs along the way!

As a Canadian, I want to know where she's finding a whole meal for $7-10! Where I live, even just a burger, fries, and a drink are often $13-16
Tim Horton's breakfast
It also depends when this video was made. I know when I was in BC, there were a few restaurants I could get a small lunch at $7-10 but that was early 2000s.
@@rob4canada that was 20 years ago...
If the server knows you are bad at maths ... ;-)
This woman is not from the Philippines. Her accent betrays her.
The west coast (e.g., Vancouver and Victoria) has the most moderate climate in Canada and is not typical of the rest of the country.
She really should have titled her video about 'moving to Vancouver' as many of the things she discussed reflect that particular location vs. Canada in general. As a large country with distinct regions & cultural influences, Canada is so diverse that any one place is far from typical.
🍁I'm not big on ketchup chips myself, but I don't understand why foreigners find it so weird. Don't people put ketchup on french-fries ?
As a great Canadian once said, "Ketchup loves potatoes".
ketchup chips are so good, if not the best
It should be "potatoes love ketchup"
Belgium, Netherlands etcetera put mayonnaise on their fries
Anglo Canadians also love fries with salt and white vinegar. It's not so weird! Take salt and vinegar, add tomato sauce, and you've got ketchup.
Ditto…as a Canadian I put ketchup on fries, but never did like ketchup potato chips…seemed to sweet? 😂🤣😂
shes right about the sushi here in vancouver. little known fact is that vancouver has the most sushi restaurants per capita of any city outside japan. even in smaller suburbs we have strip malls with two competing sushi restaurants in them.
now quantity doesnt always mean quality, but competition often does mean quality. so because we have so many sushi restaurants here, you can find some unbelievable sushi spots. that said, we also have cheap utility grade sushi too, but thats better than some cities with expensive utility grade sushi.
I don't have much to say about her video other than it's very "Vancouver-centric," and Vancouver is very unique compared to the rest of Canada. Nevertheless, I think carrying an umbrella to provide shade from the sun would get you weird looks no matter where you go in Canada. Tbh, I'm surprised she didn't comment more on the climate; even though Vancouver is much warmer than the rest of Canada, it's still a lot colder compared to the Philippines.
P.S. Old Dutch is a Canadian potato chip company. They products are way better than Lay's (at least imo), but are dwarfed in most markets because Frito-Lay is a massive company with infinitely greater resources that can overwhelm pretty much any competitor.
I know, eh ?
Foreigner lands on the Pacific coast, experiences maybe 20km of a 8,900km wide country and assumes she has seen "Canada".
Old Dutch is from Manitoba and you are right, because of that it does not get any respect as it would from Toronto, Montreal.
@@brandtmartens2537 Can't speak for Montreal but Old Dutch is huge in Toronto and all Ontario. Have you tried Smokey bacon ? Oh baby !
@@brandtmartens2537 Not true. Old dutch chips are the best BECAUSE they purchased Quebec’s Humpty Dumpty brand and recipes decades ago.
@@CraftAero Yes I have tried the Smokey bacon, and it is not that good. I love keycap chips and diel pickle
I'm American and it is important to point out that while a nation may recognize a foreign driver's license so that tourists may drive during their trip, it doesn't mean it is transferable if someone is moving to that nation. Here in the States, everyone is required to get a new driver's license once they move to another state within a few months.
I will bet that anyone moving to Quebec must prove that they speak and understand French before being able to get a license.
My wife is from the Philippines, and I went there for vacation and I can tell you that the traffic is the worst I have ever seen and I am livening in Toronto at the moment (I am from the prairies . So when she said that she was surprised how short the travel was I laughed out loud. Also food is very cheap in the Philippines, again I was surprised by that. The women is right you can get a meal for $2 Canadian and it would cost you $10-$15 dollars or more in Canada.
Vancouver has small Indi shops that are amazing and cheap! I once spent $15 for 3 plates of Chinese food that kept me and two other people feed for 2.5 days. It was also the best Chinese food I ever had. Also a big plate of amazing California Rolls for $5 and a bowl of miso soup for $1.
At the time of the construction of the first railroad across Canada, the time no matter where along the route was maintained as that of Montreal. It might be 7:00AM in Montreal and still dark in Vancouver but the time would be 7:00AM in Vancouver.
In order to mitigate the problem, Sir Sanford Fleming, a Canadian engineer, was the first person to propose the use of worldwide time zones back in 1878. His idea was to divide the world into 24 time zones that were each 15 degrees of longitude apart. The reason for this is that the earth rotates 15 degrees every hour, or 360 degrees in 24 hours.
Thanks for taking the time to read my comment and giving it a 'like'. Cheers
ON,Y China Has One Time zone Across the Whole Country.I've seen it in another video. It was established Just after the counyry went to be Communist
Thanks for taking the time to read my comment and give it a 'like'. Chimo
PS: Prior to Sir Sanford, countries, and even local governments, decided what the time would be in their specific location, usually, but not always based on the position of the sun at that moment.
Transit in Vancouver... Awesome! Not so much in other cities. On the prairies, (Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba). Very bad a hour in between busses, poor connections. When I went to university in Regina I would walk 45 minutes because it was faster than the bus.
If you're from the Philippines, I can see having a 4 and a half hour difference from each coast being weird, but for someone new to Canada living in BC, the chances of needing to phone someone in Newfoundland is going to be very rare.
The only time I think poutine looks gross is when some Americans have tried making it
I don't like the idea of gravy on fries let alone also laying on cheese curds. Ewww.
@Rod Currie don't knock it till you try it. There's different types you can try that have chicken, beef or pork
@@rjcurrie61 it’s amazing. Please try it if you come to Canada 😊
Mcds poutine is the worst
She may have found people more abrupt living in a largely populated and expensive city (just my guess). Here in southern Alberta everyone talks to everyone, and is very nice and helpful. Vancouver also gets very different weather from here we get -45 and have had snow on the ground for months, in Vancouver it rarely snows.
She is having a Costco poutine and they are absolutely delicious!! Also love all dressed (ruffles brand) and ketchup chips!!
Also when I used to live in the city down south here of 100,000 people it would take my 2 hours to get from one side of the city to the other. Absolutely dreadful! Thank goodness I only had to take the bus until my car was fixed. Lol 😂
Here in Saskatchewan Canada, we don't practice daylight savings either.
FYI "Canada HAS MORE than 3 months of SUNSHINE!! - well, in lot's of/some places anyways,lol. Sure, the more northern you go and up to and past the Arctic circle, yah, there's hardly any Summer at all but here in southern Ontario it can feel like Summer from May/June until October sometimes. But she's right about using a shade umbrella while walking around - most people just wouldn't do it. And Winters can be very sunny too!
She's Asian, probably the only people who would use an umbrella in summer, and wear a face mask when they dont have to.
@@paddington1670 🤣🤣🤣 right?!
I haven’t seen the sun shine in 3 dang months now 😂😂😂 Jks lol 😂
I live in Southern Ontario and we have mild sunny weather from March till the end of Oct usually. Some years we get not too much snow. Usually from Nov to April but hardly any snow in April so we really can't complain.
regarding the umbrealla thing... by the looks of it shes living here in vancouver. it rains here. A LOT. literally 30% of the days here are rainy (mostly in spring and fall). So I guess we just associate umbrellas with rain. it only gets really hot here for a few weeks so really most canadians are spending that time trying to get a tan before the rain comes back.
I have definitely seen asians here in van with umbrellas before. we have an enormous asian population and you bet your ass some old cantonese lady is gonna use her umbrella if she feels like it.
Old Dutch is a company that is like Hostess , Frito Lay and Humpty Dumpty Chips. Ketchup chips are loved by a lot of Canadians, but not all.
I think Old Dutch is more Western Canada. Especially Old Dutch chips in a box!
@@TevelDrinkwater Actually in Nova Scotia we have Old Dutch trucks delivering chips to stores here. I know I used to deal with the drivers at three different businesses.😀
Some areas in Canada do not observe daylight saving time. Most of Saskatchewan, some parts of Quebec, Southampton Island in Nunavut, and select areas in B.C. and parts of northwestern Ontario stay on standard time all year
it may soon be retired.
Daylight. Savings varies on which countries observe it. In Canada, one province (Saskatchewan) does not change its time for Daylight Savings. Thus, it basically switches time zones being included in Mountain time for half the year and Central time the other half of the year. I would like to see Canada get rid of the time change personally.
Australia is a reciprocal country when it comes to drivers licenses, you can trade yours straight up, no test.
To be fair, time zones exist in "big" countries. Most countries have 1, or 2 of them. Canada if your friends or work has you calling coast to coast... it isn't easy to keep track of. My job puts me in contact with people across the country, and if it is major cities I'm usually ok, but if you forget where someone is... there are plenty of time zones.
A few big cities have decent public transit. And North American cities tend to grow "outward" since there is room so traversing a "distance" on one bus line is decent, but often there are several "webs" of transit to navigate. I.e. here I'd need to take a bus to the nearest "mall" to get on a new bus for longer to get towards work. We have almost no train/subway transit here so "slow" bus routes. It could take 2 hours to get around the city... For example my 15 minute drive to work, on a bus, would take 45-60 minutes and use 2 or 3 different "lines" which is actually better than I expected.
I’m not sure why the world doesn’t understand Ketchup Chips/crisps... I mean, don’t you dip your fries in ketchup? Same thing, IN A BAG! Haha ❤️🇨🇦🤓. I understand why no one understands we put milk in a bag too tho! 🐄
Let's be clear for everyone reading... WE don't put milk in a bag. YOU put milk in a bag. Even I think it's weird and glad it's gone the way of the dodo.
@@waterjade4198 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 💀 thank you! I haven’t ever seen milk in a bag!!
I’ve never seen milk in a bag 😅😂
@@JHW44 check Canada, milk in a bag. ❤️
I drink it every day! In Ottawa Ontario!
Poutine is terrific when done right and not from a fast food joint and Vancouver has some of the best Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Indian restaurants outside of those countries.
Palki's Indian restaurant
Newfoundland has it's own time zone. It's 1/2 Hour out of sync with other time zones. If it's 6:00 in Halifax, It's 5:30 in Newfoundland.
10:10 "Transit system in Canada is so organized and efficient."
>That's news to me. Depending on where you are, it can be awful. Vancouver is one of the better places in Canada for public transit but there's towns where it is non-existent.
There's a simple reason why Canadians don't use parasols: They don't need to! After all, the most northerly part of the Philippines is only about 21 degrees north, while the most southerly part of Canada (Point Pelee National Park in Ontario) is at about 42 degrees north. Canada is so much farther north than the Philippines, the intensity of sunlight (including UV light) is weaker, because it is attenuated by passing through more air. Coming to Canada from the Philippines, you'll notice the sun doesn't get as high above the horizon, so the sun doesn't feel as hot on your skin. That's also why you're less likely to get a sunburn.
Poutine is good after a night out especially if you have been drinking, all that gravy cheese and fat just sucks up the alcohol. But definitely not something you want on regular basis even if it tastes really good.
or during a ski break.
Absolutely, couldn’t agree more... although I think after watching this I’m going to have to get a Costco poutine next time I go!! Lol 😂
Old Dutch is a classic Canadian chip, here long before Lays and Ruffles and the others showed up. The original All Dressed and the best BBQ.
I really enjoyed your videos and comments. The Ozone is stronger and many people don’t use umbrellas to protect themselves.
As far as I know, people holding valid driver's licenses from other Canadian provinces can switch them to a Québec driver's license, but if the license is from outside of the country, they will make you take the lessons, and the test all over again. C'est-tu platte ça?
Australian licences transfer over in BC, but not the Philippines.
As far as taking your driving lessons here, driving in snow is something that needs to be taught. People move here to Canada, and have no idea how to deal with winter driving and keep up on the vehicle for winter driving, all this can be beneficial to good handling and being a good winter driver. I always tell new comers to try and book their driving test in the winter, so the get all the tips and tricks on how to control your vehicles, and get out of snowy situations.
as a canadan, i did my education on driving in snow, even had a snow day. it gives you more sureness in your driving
Questions for the Canadians reading this: How often do you eat poutine? It often seems we get stereotyped as if we are obsessed with it. Although I enjoy poutine, I haven't had any in several years.
I have it a couple of times a year but it definitely isn't a daily or monthly treat.
You probably just can't get good gravy where you are. Nothing spoils a poutine like bland or chalky gravy... or rats.
I had it once, it was OK
Daylight savings started in WWII, not sure why we haven’t let it go, but just used to it.
The public transport in Vancouver is far better then anywhere else in Canada, a 1-2 hour public transit commute in Toronto would be pretty normal
Montreal to me has the best transit system.
The only way you're having 1-2 hour public transit commutes in "Toronto" is if you actually live outside of Toronto.
@@MyghtyMykey that's not true. My daughter lives in south western Etobicoke, practically on Lake Ontario. I live in the east end, actually right at the end of the line. It takes an hour and a half to get here by transit usually and minimum just over an hour. The subway ride alone, without changing lines, takes over 45 minutes. This is a vast improvement. I used to live in Markham, south of hwy7. It took 3 hours. For non Torontonians Markham is literally just north of Toronto. South side of the street is Toronto and north side is Markham.
Maths are attractive to some autistic people (see Pythagoras) Not just genetics but also congenital events and infant development. This will always be a small number of people of either gender. It is shortsighted to want to be autistic, to be abnormal ;-) But if you do turn out to be autistic and not just broken you can still be useful. Speaking as a retired engineer and computer programmer/administrator. The gender mismatch is only at the highest level, like Fields medalists.
Yes,you'd get laughed out of the building with an umbrella in the summer.They'll take whatever tip I give them lol.Wouldn't give you a dollar for an eighteen wheeler of sushi.
There is a debate going on about retiring the Day Light Saving practice across the country and it it is up to individual provinces. retirement side is the majority public position.
good transit in Vancouver but spotty in Halifax!
Twenty years ago in the US, there was a big push for everyone to be a college graduate and to study STEM. You can't force fit society. There are visual, aural and kinesthetic learners is real, but human studies are always messy.
There is no right poutine. There is the basic recipe and the taste is going to be highly variable because you are using local ingredients. You can also use different cheeses and add other toppings all you want. The taste will also change from fast food franchise to franchise.
It is not complicated. It was originally a French farmer's hot breakfast of chips and gravy and cheese and whatever meats and spices you had on hand.
Canadians are far more likely to use a Debit card for day to say transactions. The the middle ground chouces is a debit/credit card which can be used like a credit card but works like a debit card.
Montreal has one of the best transit systems on earth
Welcome to Canada From BC
I drove in Vancouver once. It was terrifying. Other places here are much better.
I think umbrellas for sun is more commonly known as parasols. They seem to evoke a more Victorian timeframe so I would guess it's considered more old fashioned.
Because you're in Vancouver, I'd understand there's not much sunshine as it's overcast and rainy from autumn to spring in general, but that's not necessarily true for the entire country. Alberta is nicknamed 'Sunny Alberta' because on average they have the most hours of sunshine in a year of any province
I agree that transit in the GVRD is very good. I think it's probably because the population base is high enough to fund the system very well. Whenever I visit the Vancouver area, I just tend to take transit as well. In smaller cities, I can say public transit is not as robust in design or frequency of service.
As for booking driver test, I did get my license in BC, but that was quite some time back, and I don't remember needing more than a few days to book it to get the test
Umbra means shadow. She's not crazy, just stuck in a world of stunted minds.
THE CANADIAN SIR SANDFORD FLEMING WAS KNIGHTED FOR CREATING THE TIME ZONES AROUND THE WORLD. MY WIFE WORKED AT THE COLAGE NAMED AFTER HIM.
Was she the - WAS SHE THE DEAN OF THE COLAGE?
That is cool. Where is the college located? I honestly didn't know there was a college named after him. Kinda embarrassed about that.
We no longer tip in Canada due to inflation and lack of increase of income. Tipping is an option, not mandatory.
That does not seem to be widespread knowledge as it was just last month that my niece lectured me on the importance of tipping. I am not on board with tipping being mandatory, it takes away from the true reason for tipping which is too show appreciation for exceptional service. Expecting a tip after poor service is ridiculous. If you want customers to make up the low wages you pay your employees be honest about it and then stop being so greedy and pay them a living wage.
The poutine gravy is make 100% vegetable made so it is very healthy
If it's 100% vegetables it's not real gravy. You need that rich umami flavour
A lot of Asians use umbrellas when it's hot and sunny in Toronto
newfoundland has a 30min time difference
About the small talk. I guess it depends on how you look. I am a big bearded guy, i dont get engeged in small talk by strangers really often. If you are a cute girl though.... it might happen often.
keep in mind she is in Vancouver. its very expensive
I live in Saskatchewan an' there is no Daylight Savings Time here, it's the same all year round....... 😄
I lived in Stoon for a while and where I worked it was almost impossible to use transit, but it didn`t take long in a car unless the fricking train caused a half hour long traffic jam at least once a week.
Not sure where shes finding such cheap food. One foot long sub from subway costs 11 dollars with no sides or drink in my part of canada and Vancouver is known for being even more expensive. 🤣
i dont know where shes going for lunch in vancouver to get it for 7-10 dollars. try 15-20. I live in the suburbs outside of the city and I dont know where to get lunch for 10 dollars.
and on that topic, we do have one of the highest cost of living in the world. here in van our wage-cost ratio is by far the worst in canada.
You put Ketchup on fries do you not? Why does Ketchup on potato chips seem surprising?
Umbrella - umbra - shadow
Her view of transit shows she's never left the lower mainland of BC. Most of Canada has HORRIBLE transit, and has a long way to go to reach Vancouver's level. Intercity public transit is also virtually nonexistent.
Big Mac extra value meal in my part of Canada is $13.26, i don't know what part she is living in to eat so cheap but i need to move there.
5000 kms across
Transit is only really good in like Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal, most other places it's pretty crap.
I am living in Toronto and I must agree with you.
Yup, I’m in Montreal and it’s horrible
@@mechghost5742 Dude, the Metro goes almost anywhere you need to go....I love love the Montreal transit.
@@errollleggo447 if you’re downtown - the rest of the island exists too. The buses are horrible and only get worse in the winter.
Canada is more than Vancouver,Toronto or Montreal sadly😏
EXACTLY! Half of the city people would never survive a rural winter.
Vancouver is an expensive city, I think.
Vancouver is really expensive to live in
McDonald’s is expensive in Canada
You can't compare expenses between 1st world countries and not 1st world countries.
i would send you some chips and other things
All of Canada is not filling up on poutine lol
I can not understand why people throughout the British Commonwealth can not travel and move freely. It should be easier for Canadians and Australian citizens to visit and move but it's no different then if one was from and non commonwealth country.
I don't know where this lady is eating but here in canada most places are not that cheap. also her bad driving may be due to cultural differences and not what side of the road she drives on different rules and all. also i would not think that she would want to drive in another province as vancouver barely gets any snow and she would probably have a hard time with that. plus transit in other cities may be more difficult for her to get around in as it would take longer in other canadian cities. so i would just take this with a grain of salt as this may not be the countries best differences video as each province has differences
You want a real culture shock, Come to Quebec.
Damn All Dressed 😋😋😋
I don't know where she is from but mayby just maybe she should know how big and vast Canada is and of course things are different across the coutry. Comparing $2.00 to the Philippines? Really?
The transit system in the city of Canada doesn't exist, for obvious reasons.
How in Hell are you supposed to get from PEI to Ontario without getting wet?
Lays ketchup chips only. All others s**k
Saskatchewan doesn t move there time
She said she "Thought it would take 2 or more hours, but it did not only half an hour" you need to listen better.
If you went to the US you'd know exactly what hit you: bullets.
Why would I want to live in a socialist country? While the US is attempting to do so, we are not yet there.
Look at how wide the PI is. They fit in one time zone, just like New Zeland.
In some countries, the national average pay per month is less than $350.00 US (My Turkish wife only made $280.00 per month full time).
Several years ago, Vancouver invested vealy into public transit. They have a large Asian population, and they are used to public transit. Seattle, Tacoma, and Portland are all looking at the BC transit system in an attempt to emulate it.
canadians are not nice, we are civil, used to be anyway.
Meals... She must eat like a bird if she's only spending $7 to $10 on a whole meal. Kids meals anyone?
Umbrella... She only gets sun 3 months out of year because she lives in Vancouver where it's rainy and cloudy most of the time. I think sunshine is more common in the rest of the country, but the amount still depends on the region. If you didn't know, winter sunburns are a thing. The reflection off the snow can be brutal like reflection off the water!
Transit... will depend on where you live and I mean down to the neighborhood. Most rich people wouldn't be caught dead taking public transit, so don't expect service to their neighborhood.
Drivers license... I thought mandatory testing would go without saying since most Asian countries have loose driving rules. I've never heard of booking your driving test months in advance, but I guess this could depend on where you're booking it from.
Daylight savings... someone should let the gov't know there's this thing that everyone's really into called electricity which allows us to turn on these really neat things called light bulbs so we don't need daylight savings anymore.
Time zones... you moved to the 2nd largest country in the world and was surprised by time zones? I'm confused. Did the 2nd largest country in the world not compute?
Ketchup chips... WHY IS THE WORLD WEIRDED OUT BY THIS?!? Put down that ketchup and stop dipping your fries in it because it's weird.
That is an ugly poutine. It's take-out so a bit understandable, but they got sloppy.
Ah Yeah you have to understand in asian countries haveing dark skin, painted you as a Farmer therefore low born, poor.
She hasnt a clue about sunshine in Canada ...cant watch the rest of this ...this guys talks more than the girl ...
She says she's from the Phillipines, yet I hear no accent. She sounds American or Canadian. This girl doesn't seem to comprehend that the Phillipines is a poor developing country, while Canada is an affluent developed country. It's only logical that Canada has a higher cost of living. I guess she didn't read up much on Canada before she moved here.
The big metropolitan centres--Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver--have excellent transit systems, but that's not true for the rest of the country. Countries with very large land masses--Canada, Australia, US, Russia--are accustomed to various time zones within their respective countries. However, the Phillipines is comparatively very small, which explains why she's unfamiliar with the concept of land masses.
You don't live in Toronto I do. We have a bad transit system. What are you asking for as an accent. I know my Filipina and your not going to get a big ACCENT out of them.
I wouldn't know she was not from North America. I live in BC and she sounds like life long local.
@Brandt Martens You don't know where I live, jerk off, so don't assume. I've heard Fillipinos speak many times, and she doesn't have a strong accent. Don't message me again, rude prick.
English is one of the official languages of the Philippines, her accent is very subtle.
she not from thialand...she is Canadian...her accent is Canadian..not thailand..
She's from the Philippines, English is one of their official languages. Her accent is very subtle.
