katie oneill What about AFL
katie oneill this is the most accurate thing I've ever seen..
Thank you
There's no GayFL in Sydney, only melburne
katie oneill HOLY SHIT UR MY FAVOURITE HUMAN TO EVER EXIST! MOST ACCURATE COMMENT EVER!
And phil goulds voice is ear rape
In Australia, we say chips, not crisps. I don't think I've ever heard a fellow Australian say crisps
Crisps are the things that come in a plastic packet labelled 'Smiths'
Nah and ya won't. Chips they ARE
@@ianmontgomery7213 no Aussie says crisps.
He's dreamin
@@sandgroperwookiee65 Smith's called theirs crisps for years in their ads
As an Aussie I really shouldn't watch these vids as I get triggered so easy
haha me too!!!
Same haha
Same
oh my god me too
Me!!!!!! the 100th like!!!! lol....... Soo true I'm soo triggered!!!!!!!
also in Australia we don't call it fall we call it Autumn
Yeah, the US is kinda the special child when it comes to world wide things..
Rest of the world: Metric system, m, L, grams
US: NO
Rest of the world: Celsius
US: NO
US: TRUMP
Rest of the world: FUCK
haha lol America don't change for nobody MERICA FUCK YEAH STUPID SYSTEMS ARE THE ONLY WAY YEAH
James Films...... LMAO😂
Lol you wonder why no one likes you guys Dogeomoon The Third😂
what? are you offended because the American measurement system and electoral college are stupid?
The food is more expensive but we don't tip so thats a thing
Good point!
Exploration Station because we pay proper wages so they don't need tips to survive like the seppo's
Exploration Station well it's because we give clean food we don't put chemicals unlike other country .
the reason is because the US dollar is worth more on the global market at the moment
Khelsea Chiem lol, I was talking about even going out to eat though.
Observation 11. Apparently we have lost our ability to welcome visitors and except their view of Australia is different from those of us who grew up here. Who cares if it’s not all 100% accurate. She came out here and is giving it a fair go which is what we used to want most from people who live here. Onya Liz!
tjp29 Well said, tjp.
Fuck off fatso. Go on a diet.
@@bignosehembrow4596 Jesus. Calm down.
Exactly. It shits me to tears when Aussies won't give our visitors a fair go. She's doing her best and fitting in ok..I'm over Aussies who get so precious about every last thing. My ancestors come to Australia in chains 220 years ago. Who is to say what makes you welcome here or not. Australia is so many different things to do many different people.
Everyone is stylish because you're in a big city. Come to a rural town and it's completely different.
Well she never went to Redfern obviusly lol
I live in tassie and go to a public school for year 11 and 12 and I swear half over the bloody people just come to school with steal caps boots and old dirty farm clothes
Darren and Damo is what happens four stations out from any capital city ;)
Trust me when I say, not all Australians dress nice.
Remember bogans make up a fair number of the population!
Kate summer gear is thongs tank top and boardies and winter is thongs and socks tank top and boardies
Well where I live
@@MrMavnkaf Thank goodness
I'm Australian, born in Sydney, and now live in Brisbane.
Each city is different in Australia
Sydney is more expense than other cities in Australia
Erica Smith hey a fellow brissy
Which is crazy IMO since Melbourne is so much nicer.
Erica Smith hlo sir I also want to settle in Australia ... Please help me
Sydney and Melbourne both have their attractions. Sydney's only nice around the harbour, everywhere else is just a suburban sprawl. Melbourne has character (in the inner suburbs) with the trees and trams. Brisbane used to be a nice big country town with no traffic issues. Then we got invaded in the 1980s by southerners who bought houses at half the price they were in Sydney/Melbourne. Now Brisbane's just a suburban sprawl with congested freeways and no character.
it's true in every nice place.
We never say “crisps” here
people in my area do :P depends where you live
They're all chips
Read the label on Smith’s Crisps
@@frankh2811
The 'label' says 'crisps', but Australian people say 'Chips'.
(Smith's is an English brand)
We used to have an Aussie company - Colvan - that made and sold 'chips'.
@@keithkitson8610 Smith's isn't English walkers is and the same people own lays, walkers and Smith's
It’s not THAT cold!
Bro we burn and sweat in winter if your not a drama queen
Sydney NEVER gets FREEZING.
It rarely gets cold.
Where is she from?
She's obviously too vacuous to realise that, coming from northern hemisphere summer directly to southern hemisphere winter, she feels colder.
@@keithkitson8610 she's from England so I can understand why she thinks it's always cold lol
It gets down to 32 degrees, that's freezing (if it were Fahrenheit)
Keith Kitson it does get freezing towards the blue mountains on the edge of Sydney though. It also gets down to 2-5 degrees in July, to some people that’s cold.
when I saw no. 8 at 5:37 I was just like... You haven't seen the bogans if you think everyone has a good fashion sense xD
bryanthepony go more into the city and everyone had really good fashion sense
Yeah.. I was thinking that too.. All the lads wearing their bum bags and Adidas.. Such fashion. Meanwhile it's winter and i'm sitting in my garage with a fkn fan on and no shirt..
bryanthepony she clearly hasn't seen much else of Aus if she thinks that! Come to the Northern Territory and see our 'fashion' sense 😂
bryanthepony you should see the way teenage girls in America dress. Anything is better then that.
Elisabeth, the fashion sense is another hint of where you're living :) Go out to Penrith & see if there's still "fashion sense"
& do you know there are areas in the outskirts of Sydney where you will still find mullets - on both girls and guys!
The houses do have insulation bruh
I guess recently a law got passed saying all houses were supposed to have insulation now!
There hasnt been a new law, your video just lacks all the facts necessary.
1psplegend hey no need to be rude maybe she was just misinformed. I just moved into a rental in melbourne and it didnt have it because the house was old.
Yeah old weatherboard houses pre 1960's won't have insulation. Where places like America etc. they do. Just a climate thing really.
you say the law got passed recently but this video is from 2017 :thinkingface: lmao.. I think you just have the wrong facts to start with!
The Daily Mail article written about this video was done with out my permission and made to put me in very bad light. I absolutely love Australia and my time there was amazing. This video was simply explaining the differences for some people who have never been to the other place (Americans to Australia/Australians to America). Please stop getting so butt hurt about an article that I had no say in and no chance to give my comments on a video I made 2+ years ago. I have feelings and the countless hate comments are absolutely unnecessary.
Forget them - I liked your video. Life is too short to worry about negative people. You've got almost 6,ooo likes!! That's great!
Maybe you should've included in the video that Aussie journos are gutter rats. 🐀
Screw em.
i’m australian and get sooo triggered over these videos but continue to watch them like why ??
Psychology Wiz what ??
idk what you’re saying so leave me alone thanks ;)
Psychology Wiz how can someone look american or australian plus you don’t even know which one i am
Psychology Wiz im sorry but how am i being rude? you’re the one assuming things hun xx
Psychology Wiz i am being 100% honest. i am NOT american x
I live in Sydney and most of this is false or exaggerated😂
Yasmina Mendoza 😊
Tru
TOATLLY AGREE...smh lmao
Yasmina Mendoza yeah idk about Sydney but live along the coast of QLD
It depends on where you live in aus
1. There isn't a hole in the ozone layer above Australia, but it is thinner, leading to Australia being more exposed to UV. Next time you say something like that just google it. The picture hat you showed isn't exactly a representation of the hats we wear too . But in primary school there is a general rule of no hat no play.
2. Cold? And it being cold in Sydney during winter isn't that true. We can easily walk around In ripped jeans and your legs still be fine. Sydney doesn't really reach low temps.
3. It's too do with the natural plants we have. And leaves do fall just not off most of our natural plants. And fall is a American terminology for Autumn. Autumn doesn't mean leaves falling.
4. Most places have slang. But yes we do shorten things
5. You are living in Sydney spiders are around but more around country and camping. And cockroaches not really but yet again that depends location
10. The dollar value is also different and our pay rate also has influences and the taxes.
Megan Glacken yeah
Sydney is only freezing if you come from Las Vegas where 40+ June to August is normal
Yeah. If you work, you can afford to spend.
Defensive much? Speaks to your fragile Sydney ego. You're all more worried about how you look than the fact that the whole city is one giant, overpriced, cockroach nest
We call it autumn as well, but also use the term "fall" because in most of the US it actually does freeze, as in zero degrees Celsius. The plants that grow in that environment become dormant and the green leaves die and then fall off. In the southern half of the US it stays warm enough in winter (closer to your Sydney temps) that plants that grow there seldom lose their greenery. The gal in the video must be from a warmer area of the states if she thinks 10 degrees Celsius is freezing. haha I've often thought it would be amazing to live where it is warm all the time. Right now I live in southwest Alaska, where it runs about -20 C in the winter.
Sydney isn’t cold Melbourne is cold, 5 degrees is cold XD
139968725
Tassie is bloody cold. 7 in the morning it will be like -2 to 4 degrees during winter
Hi Elisabeth, I have lived in Cairns, Tassie and Melbourne and found your video interesting and accurate, especially how expensive eating out is. All the best, and thanks for posting!
sydney doesn't really get that cold at all in my opinion lol
Dani Watt its about 8 degrees right now and I'm dying. I'd say that's pretty cold haha!
Haha! I want to move there from Wellington NZ, literally because its warmer 😂
There are much colder countries but Sydney is pretty cold at night but during the day not so much There is a big temperature variation between nightn and day The average during the day is betwween 16 and 18 degrees celcius,regards Louisa
I think it’s the fact that the Day is so warm that when it gets anything under 10 we get so cold
Dani Watt it doesn't get that cold because you're hot! :p
There are no crisps in Australia. Everything is chips. Hot? Chips. Crisps? Chips. Frozen? Chips. It's all chips, everything is always chips all the time it's ridiculous
Yet it's really not ridiculous because they are all made out of the same thing they are just in different shapes..
Easier to understand IMO. If I'm walking down the street with my family and someone suggests hot chips we know automatically they're talking about 'french fries' or usually the thicker hot chips. If I'm in Coles I can ask my mum for chips (or usually 'a packet of chips') and boom, I get crisps. Not to mention how do people that use the term 'french fries' differentiate between thin hot chips and normal thickness hot chips?
I'm heartbroke
Exactly I have never used nor heard anyone use the term "crisps" for a pack of smiths chips
cant blame us chips are THE BEST
Dude why does everyone talk about the city’s
Like go to the country side, it’s amazing
T E N N O You're probably a 7 year old trying to look cool cursing.
I moved to the gold coast 2 months ago and you are SOOO right about the fall. It rains literally every day!!!!
A lot of houses do have insulation. Especially all newly built homes. Central heating isn't in everyone's homes because the cold weather here lasts for such a short time compared to the Northern hemisphere and some people don't worry about it..As for cockroaches?? I haven't seen cockroaches at my house for years. Maybe it's the house you're living in needs fumigating. I saw more in America when I rented there. Maybe you need to organize getting the place you're staying in sprayed. As for being more expensive, our wages are much higher so it's all relative. I didn't like all the tipping that goes on in America because of the low wages. At least here we don't have to deal with that. Tips aren't expected here. Again as to things being more expensive for you, the American dollar is higher than the AU dollar anyway so you wouldn't have been too out of pocket as a traveller, surely.
Well I find Trump annoyingly stupid lol. Every country has its downsides ....
tonedog77 That is slowly changing in Australia anyway. If that is the most anyone's got to whine about I'd say thats not too bad.
Hunny1au As do I and I'm American. Trump's approval rating is 35%, and I cannot fathom how it is that high.
Hunny1au mate things here cost like 5 times what they do in the states have you looked at the difference in house prices between Sydney and literally anywhere in the US or even things like fast food. Also cockroaches depends where you live, if anyone in Brisbane says they have never seen one in a house they're lying or blind.
because sometimes he makes sense still think he is an idiot though maybe he has just gone senile
Australia is a mix of England and America because the British colonised Australia and America....
ThatOne You mean Australia has got a different culture
J hip hip ihpniu
Bree Thompson ..yes indeed in Australia British killed thoughts of aborigines and stole thier children and slaved them and in America British killed thousands of red Indians and slved them as well dont forget africa and india killed them and slaved them..this is England English hypocrites
American culture is much better tbh. European culture is so basic and boring
YZFKid Coming from an American?
well, it was so useful, thanks Eli, we're moving to Australia next year for living ' hope I get a warm welcome by Australian people, love Australia already
You are a lovely polite girl ...
I didnt realise what a cultural shock you would have here... hope the rest of your stay was/is enjoyable....
I'm Australian and I can tell you that nearly none of this is true. 😐
PUGS AND SAILOR MOON :D yeah
I guess it depends where you live. I live in Queensland and it never gets cold, I haven't called chips 'crisps' in my entire life, I never say arvo (probably because I'm a 14 year old girl, my dad very occasionally says it tho'. So yea lol
AGREE! smfh >.
Pretty much everyone in this comment section is Aussie its not that special
The sun one triggered me
Hey! This was a great video! I loved it! I was born and have lived here in Australia my whole life so I found this video super interesting to see what your perspective was! :) One thing though, even though some houses do not have insulation, most houses do. And yes the weather is very extreme. Sometimes, in one day it will be super hot and then suddenly a storm will come and it gets super cold. And also, it's interesting cos we call 'Fall' Autumn hehe cos I think nothing falls. And yes we shorten everything haha! They are called diminutives and often end in vowels eg: avo, arvo, servo, cuppa, footy, barbie, mozzie etc. Oh, yeah and when you said 'We'll be right' the first time I didn't understand ahah cos it was so fast! Lol but yeah we do say 'how u going' and 'we'll be right' all in one short breath. It's almost just a saying. And yasss everything is so overpriced its so sad:( but that mean our wages are high. I live in Melbourne and it's also expensive. Like for example, last night I went to a restaurant and we spent $90 between 3 of us. Also, at 7:25 was that a Miranda Sings impersonation because it sounded similar haha!!
Hahah! ^^ YOU HEARD IT HERE FROM A TRUE AUSSIE GUYS!!
Also, at the 7:25, nah. That was just me getting annoyed haha:)
I live in melbs 2
Hey Lizzy, have you heard about the Sydney/Melbourne rivalry yet? When Emily talks about the hot day then cold storm, it's because Melbourne has 4 seasons in one day - right Emily :P In Sydney of course the weather's much nicer :D
I too have live in Australia my whole live, and whilst I have a name that lends itself readily to several common diminutives, they have not been used outside my immediate family, which did use several variations. Actually, the moreI think about it, very few people I know use shortened versions of their names.
Emily May: Wages and prices - which comes first? Although I must admit that I would consider $30/head for a reasonably good quality meal to be moderate.
Terry Baby hey terry ! I’m heading to sydney at this end of the month to further my educ. Do you mind to be my friend ! Dinner on me ! Haha
Great stuff. Glad to have you in Aus.
my family's travelling from Adelaide to Sydney next year
Yay!
Welcome to Australia its either really hot, really cold or really rainy have fun👍
if you say ZEE-bra then why dont you call debra... DEE-bra
woah.
Because 'Debra' doesn't start with a 'zee'.
It starts with a 'dee'.
Oh.
Damn.
So the letter 'z' SHOULD be pronounced 'zed'!
(Oooops. That's embarrassing! 🤪)
Interesting! Thanks for sharing your perspective
I plan on moving to Australia after I get my nurse practitioner degree. But I want to live in a small beach city where I can just have my own space and surf when I’m stressed
Move to the gold coast
Beerwah is a beautiful town to move to, located in Queensland ;)
If u have a quick million u could buy one XD
@@bonbon4084 I was about to say whatever you do don't move to the gold coast ;)
@@OrWhatWeHave the gold coast is good what the hell dude
australia is not in tone with fashion. you clearly have just been in the richer locations.
I 5rFoX I Have you ever been outside of Australia? Specifically to the US? If you have you will understand what she means.
Australia does except for the bogans. And this is about Sydney specifically
Australians wear whatever, we aren't always fashionably dressed sooooo I don't know where that came from...
Footy shorts singlet and thongs. That’s all we need in summer
Nice video enjoy your stay and your interpretations are on the mark.
Love this video!! Miss our time backpacking in Australia...
You live in a house with no insulation and a cockroach problem? You're getting ripped off! I've never seen a cockroach inside a house in my life and I've lived in Aus for 28 years. Talk to your landlord girl.
Ok never seeing a cockroach in *a house* before is weird but yeah what she describes is not normal
a lot of places in Australia are very cockroach friendly environments, no matter how clean you are or how much you spray, also most houses built before 1980 have no insulation, I have lived in Australian since I was born. over 50 years ago
Jackie Ohhhh WHAT PART OF STRAYA DO YOU LIVE IN IF YOUVE NEVER SEEN A COCKROACH IN YOUR LIFE?!!
MickSingle correct, Roaches are the norm for Sydney and no insulation is prevalent. You have no say in it. Either you know Sydney or you don't. If you don't have roaches you know someone who does.
Jackie Ohhhh ..bullshit. .australia full of cockroach.in summer specially hundreds of them even in winter..you misleading people
I like this video :) I'm currently in Australia, everything Elisabeth said is completely true
Welcome to Australia, I hope you enjoy your time here
We have a rainy season and a dry season in Darwin and probably in the middle of Australia but in Melbourne and other places we have summer,autumn,winter and spring
Ava Smyth And that's just in one day.
Her- you need to be really sun protected
Me- haven’t worn sunscreen in like 13 years ( I am 15)
I've worn sunscreen since I was 14 (I'm 52 now) Then again, my skin is really meant to be in Scotland lol
Also you - burnt worse than a steak left on the BBQ for 6 hours
It's only really cold in July in Sydney. It's subtropical. Just close the windows and doors properly at night. Also use thick bed covers. It's like a southern California winter. Sydney weather is basically like LA but more humid and less arid.
Haha this was funny! Great video :) one thing I was like “huh” at, was the fashion sense hahaha I feel like we all just wear active wear and gym gear all the time 😂😂
Lol our slang sounds so unnatural when you say it
Lol whoops! Gave it my best shot;) hahah
Eibhlín Murphy ikr
I'm Australian from Sydney and the way you said maccas 😩😂😂 love the video though ahahah
hahah! Im trying! xo
I’m planning on going to Australia to see my friend in two years thank you for the tips
Autumn is further south. You should see Canberra in autumn. Gorgeous. And we have good heating here as it gets pretty cold. It was - 8.5 degrees this morning.
Just saying almost every house in Australia has insulation because of a former government campaign to give jobs and insulation also we don't say crisps we say chips and that is true everything is ridiculously expensive in Sydney it's alright in the rest of Australia but
Daniel Russo umm no not every house has insulation the one I live in doesn't. And a few others that I lived in had minimum insulation almost non existent.
Leane Minuto ... Daniel said "almost" learn to read!!! smh >.
Perth is also very expensive due to the mining boom. $20 for a burger?? Housing prices have come down a bit finally...they were on par with Sydney not so long ago.
Daniel Russo yeah I was thinking my house insulation
Young people also like to end sentences with the word "but".
I remember "no hat no play" in primary school.
Awesome girl! Thank you 😊 So informative! Considering moving to Australia at the moment.
withlovescarleny do it 😌😌
Oh, happy to hear that I am not alone struggling with all kinds of insects when living abroad...
maybe im immune because i am aussie but this almost completely false or exaggerated.
the sun isn't that bad (guys im ranga).
it doesn't get that cold; it doesn't snow in most places. autumn (fall) is wet season. we have hot and dry (spring, summer), hot and wet (autumn and cold (winter).
yes everything gets shortened.
the wildlife is regional. the cockroaches are nothing (maybe im used to it because i grew up with it).
this links back to the shortened thing.
we were colonised by england and then have american influence.
bahahahahah, you must be in the good part of sydney and australia in general.
colonised by england, but american influences.
it's really not. it just depends on where you go. also please factor in the exchange rate.
sorry im done now. im completely biased so yeah
@ella
as if you'd admit to being a ranga... fuck me... hehe
I'm ranga to and well I burn through car windows with sunscreen
I'm brunette and I get blisters with sunscreen and even through a lot of clothes I'll still burn
but I looked at your profile pic and I was like ‘omg it’s my cousin’ 😂😂 coz u kinda look like her ☺️☺️☺️☺️
Beautiful country
im from australia and the most beautiful time of the year is end of august all the leaves fall off and the weather is perfect :))
Hi there I have hear you from Germany and you was absolute awesome I love it ! Have been also in Australia in 1985 - 86 about two month from Brisban, Sidney, Townswille to Alice Springs and back to Sidney and fly to New Zealand and it was much colder than in Australia it was definitly awesome Vacation !
lol no insulation girl you lived in a hole everywhere has insulation in qld it keeps you cool in summer and warm in winter
the ozone is not missing, its just fucking hot
There is a hole m8. It's always been there. It's the reason the country, particularly the outback, is hot and why we live on the coast. Any number of sources, research or just plain secondary education will teach you it is there.
its cause of the equator the wind brings heat down with tides or something like that
I have heard multiple reports that the ozone is almost fully sealed but it could be wrong.
There was a large hole but its nearly mended itself
Gracious
There is no hole, think about the rotation of the earth throughout summer...., think.....
I watched this video to see some things that I might not remember about Aus as i'm an expat in Thailand now. I think you did a great job. The Australian sun BURNS! We slang up everything. Its expensive as. People do dress nicely in Sydney due to everywhere having dress codes. Good job dude.
In terms of the sun, it can be different but the reason is because we are closer to the equator, the sun is more intense, and not only that we are considered a tropical climate, which means that our weather can be all over the place especially with the storms/flash flooding and how different the temperature changes can be in the space of a few days. There was one week where it when from 37 degrees to 22 degrees (98f to 71f)
Would you say if I moved to Australia I should go in the (british) summertime so I'd get there in the (australian) winter and have time to slowly acclimatise as it gets hotter?
xGalaxyCat if you’re not used to 40 degrees Celsius then yes and good luck 😂🤣
It took me six years to acclimatize to the heat .
The change in diet is a factor , in Australia I eat more chicken , fish , salad , rice and fruit . I find the dry heat of Perth much easier to cope with than the humidity of Sydney . I'm always cold whenever I return to the UK .
Best advice , Slip on a shirt , Slop on sunscreen and Slap on a wide brimmed hat . Wear your sunnies and avoid the heat of the day 1 - 4 pm .
Drink plenty of tea or water and avoid beer as a way to rehydrate.
So a lot of people seem to have problems with little bits of this video haha:). In no way am I an expert about anything especially Australia. Some things were over exaggerated of course but all of these are just opinions and personal observations.
Understandable. A lot of us have varying points of view depending on where we live in Australia. Some places are expensive (Sydney), some people don't feel that hot (because we have lived here all our life. On a side note, i personally don't feel that hot here, but I have family around the country, holy shit is it hot in Alice Springs and Darwin. Even during winter you're lucky for it to drop below 30C). It was a great video depicting your opinion and experience in our country. Enjoy your stay!
I'm a Darwin girl!! I've lived here my whole life and I can tell everyone right now that I do NOT own one single jumper in my wardrobe! It's currently supposed to be "dry season" (that's what we call winter here, but it really isnt anything close to being winter-like) and the weather is so hot and draining. I never go a day without sweating.
The spider part made me laugh because I get oversized Huntsman Spiders (non venomous) in my BEDROOM! I'm so used to it I usually just shrug my shoulders and walk away ahaha. Loved this video!
i can agree that its hot here cause i get warned to put sunscreen on during winter (plus not a single family member from europe has come because of climate change blame climate change)
I'm a Sydney girl and agree with every.single.thing. you said.
This was completely fine. I think the Simpsons episode 'Bart vs. Australia' really captures the sentiment behind Aussies being annoyed. It's actually a brilliant episode - I have a giant boot flag in my lounge room.
You're right! Where I am, its safe to say that we literally have two seasons winter and summer though we actually have four! The summers are intense! Everythings super overpriced here than what it is overseas, where I am from. Its great to hear it from someone elses perspective! 😊
hellow Elisabeth thanks for this exclusive video i got to know many things about Australia
50% OF THIS IS FALSE XD im australian
JakeGamez can you give an example of what is false? Hahah! There have been lots of Australians that have agreed with me;)
Elisabeth Beemer hole in the ozone layer is wrong
yea what its not that hot
JakeGamez I know and im aussie too
The hole is there m8. We're kinda renowned for having that hole. We don't feel that hot cause we're used to it.
Yep our washing literally dries in like 2 minutes in summer. Btw Sydney doesn’t get that cold, I live out in the central west and it gets down to around -10 C lol. Also, if ur house doesn’t have insulation YOU NEED TO MOVE BECAUSE THAT’S NOT NORMAL😂😂😂 and yeah we do shorten everything haha oh and it’s really only in largely-populated cities that the fashion sense is good. Trust me out in the country it’s BOGANS GALORE😂 I used to live in Sydney so that’s what I’ve noticed. And yeah our stuff is so over-priced cause the government is so freaking selfish these days😂😂😂
We're in SW Sydney and it gets into the minus range over night and frosts in Winter.
Georgia Mendes yup agree
Georgia H You would thank your government if you know what we pay for healthcare and college education here in America. These mofos suck us dry. It much easy to go homeless in America due to sudden illness than in Australia.
Hey Els , gudday to ya , Me and my partner Gemz are in the process of emigrating to the great country that is Oz ,, and your informative video blog has been a great help .. thanks again maate , lol x
we are moving to Katanning WA and from what I've seen its a whole new life of paradise and goodwill for us especially the 4-5 hours drive to Esperance souterhn west oz ,as it is COMPLETE paradise .
once again thanks hope you are still having the time of your life ? as I'm sure we will be ...,,, good will to you and your family and friends x
Oh sorry also Elizabeth ,, you're quite hot too xx the misses allowed me to say that hahaha xx
As an Aussie who works in America, this was hilarious (and accurate) tø watch!
Interesting video. It should be called moving to Sydney though. Australia is a continent and there's a wide variety in weather etc. If you're paying $14 for a hamburger you're going to the wrong places. Try a fish and chip shop next time.
Australians say autumn not fall
Welcome to Sydney :) I’m from Sydney it’s dope here I love it :)
Hi! I'm from Australia and it was pretty funny to see what you thought about the country! Up North( The Territory, Northen Qld and far far North WA) we actually have a wet and dry seasons, consisting of droughts and monsoons. If you reckon the weather in Sydney is intense - drive down to Melbourne!! If you are still in Australia, I definitely reccomend a few of my favourite places to visit, mostly in Victoria! Byron Bay, Phillip Island, Victorian goldfields, the Otways, and Arhnem Land. I hope you enjoy your time here, and come back to visit (if you have moved away now), and explore some more of this amazing country!! xxx
Our houses do have insulation 😂😂 not sure where you got that one from! Also I think everything seems so expensive for you is because you moved to the most expensive city in Aus, cool video but!
Hang on, I’ve been in Australia for 7 years but haven’t seen a single cockroach girl!! And also Sydney’s winter is not freezing freezing, this feeling varies depending on where you come from!
You've been in Aus for 7 years and never seen a cockroach?!
How's your guide dog?!
You MUST be blind. 😂😎
Keith Kitson I pity you coz you must living on streets or untidy places. God bless you
@@deepukt2472
I'm happy to come with you to any 5 star hotel or restaurant you choose.
I''ll show you cockroaches.
Any place that can be shown to be 100% cockroach free is so full of poisons I don't want to be there.
@@keithkitson8610 actually as someone who has worked in a kitchen, we actually keep the pest away by daily cleaning and emptying the bins at the end of each day so there is no food available to feed or attract pests. If you took someone to a restaurant that has cockroaches then they would be in violations of the health code and could be shut down.
@@skye3651
Actually as someone who actually has been actually involved in the actually food industry for actually more than 40 actually years I can actually assure you that it's actually impossible to actually ensure 100% actually eradication of actually cockroaches without constant use of actually highly toxic poisons. Actually cleaning alone is actually not actually enough.
Actually inspectors are interested to actually see that actually all encouragement for actually pests has been actually removed.
“Basically it just means it rains a lot” in Brisbane at the moment it’s been raining for a few weeks constantly and it’s two months into autumn
“Different sun in Australia”..... I must have missed that lecture when studing for my science degree in Melbourne.....
Wtf we didn't wear those kinder hats. We wore a normal hat with a neck protector
Nobody Important when i qas in pre school i wore a bucket hat ( a hate with lining around the edges)
No. Sorry. There is no hole in the ozone layer over Australia. There is one over Antartica and in 1987 it was said there was a danger of the hole extending over Australia. But never did. Here in Australia we have this thing .. called the Internet .. and Google. Do you have these things in the USA. IF you do ... look it up. Jus' sayin'
Google is an American company... Maybe you should use it more often.
Well Americans invented Google fuck boi
KillingToKill but Australia invented wifi, so google wouldn’t be a thing without us 😂😂
@@jacobc590 And you're still a decade behind us. Catch up Aussie
@@jacobc590 Except you definitely don't need wifi to use Google. Wifi wasn't even mainstream when Google was created.
The main cities are pretty high maintenance. If you go to the rural cities you will find it’s more chill 😀
It's funny hearing her speak about the Sydney weather in winter! Up here in Queensland its no joke still hot. we still wear shorts etc. we just add a jumper (except for the occasional rainy day where we have to chuck on some jeans instead) Except it's really stormy! especially towards the end of summer! but it's not cold. haha. That's why we're called the 'Sunshine State'
Edit: Oh and when you said that we are fashionable or something. Once again. Come to Queensland, you live in Sydney were its all work, business, busy etc. so there all dressed up for their importand jobs etc.
Summary:
1: Sun causes cancer
2: Sydney is cold and uninsulated
3: missed it: bored
4: Short forms in accent
5: icky animals
6: fast speaking in accent
7: mix of UK and US
8: fashion important
9: words different (accent, duh)
10: expensive
That was to the point... I like it!
Interesting!! In some parts of Australia we have the wet season and dry season and no structure of summer winter autumn etc
Hi I am Aussie...
AND I AM NOW TRIGGERED SO SORRY
Edit: this was overexaggeated
Edit: not everyone in Australia dresses nicely ever heard of a bogen
You never mentioned the toilet flushing the opposite way :)
😂 *snort*
We actually do have insulation in our houses. Not all houses, but most of them. We discovered it about 3 months ago. Thanks to this video
This is a great video!
Ok so you have an American accent but are from England and now living in Australia??
Shay Horrigan yeah it's very confusing! I had an English accent until I moved to the US then I got an American one lol! I was born and raised in England.
eliz.....so are you a brexit brit with a german queen or a yank with a trump card...........
Melbourne is colder but Melbourne is better we don't get cockroaches and the hoses are better insulated but Sydney is also amazing
Lola Peters Nah mate, I got pretty good insulated hose from Bunnings the other day
Melbourne isn't colder, Sydney gets oceanic breeze during the summer which makes some summer days cooler than Melbourne's during those nasty heatwaves. Also the ranges behind Sydney area much taller extending over 1000m which brings snow to them and often ice to the west of Sydney. I've been in Richmond, Sydney west and it was -2 in the morning. I don't think Melbourne gets that at all? Either way both climates are rather similar with Sydney being the more temperate city.
Yeah that's in the city itself go west a bit and you'll have a new meaning of FUCK IT'S HOT!
Im a sydneysider but have lived in Melb....Melb suxs! The weather is like England, and your awful poo brown Yarra River is a JOKE! Melb is geographically challenged and can NEVER hope to compare to Sydney....cya! lol
Ah the Yarra, the upside down river where the mud is on the top!
What a doll you are. Thanks for a fun vid. :-)
I think people think we talk faster than we do because we lengthen some syllables. So with "we'll be right", the "we" and "right" are usually a bit longer. When we exaggerate our accent, words like "right" end up really long and sound like "roight". It makes the shorter syllables sound short and gives our accent a skipping sort of sound.
Also, don't compare the rest of Australia to Sydney or Melbourne. They're different. If you haven't taken a trip to other places around Australia, I recommend it. Especially in the more rural areas. Even just heading north or south to Newcastle or Wollongong you'll notice a change even though you're still in the city.
Why do you Americans always move to Sydney/Melbourne. They are super expensive places to live, in or around the Cities.
Queensland is the place to be, 2 seasons, wet & dry. Winter is a joke, maybe a week of coldish days. And the sun is still shinning.
A burger with the works, is around $6-7, never seen a $14 burger. (Tell'm there dreaming) Aussie reference.
Southern states hang shit on it, because there jealous, but they all seem to move up here. If one loves the outdoors life style, Queensland is the place. And contrary to what southerners say, our arts, dining & coffee culture is as good as anywhere in OZ. So future American stayers, check out Queensland & save some money. Gold Coast excluded from my price referencing lol
Queensland is amazing Brissie rocks. Im a pom who would emigrate there if I could (over 50 too old to work there) but do visit. Came in Jan 2018 planning on returning Jan 2020.
As a fellow Aussie ngl Gold Coast (schoolies paradise) is hell nice and Melbourne and Sydney burgers and food is minimum 8 bucks a decent cafe sells burgers for about 12 bucks a good restaurant about 18-20 it’s not fun
FNQ is awesome but the NT is definitely just as good
Queensland is filled with racist cunts, thats why.

Hope you are still enjoying yourself down here in Sydney, and that your studies are going well.
Cheers,

Syd (Sydney 😉)
Don’t forget Sydney isn’t the whole of Australia! We have a beautiful autumn / fall season here in Canberra!
Check out Newcastle, nice and quiet with good beaches
Thats what I have heard:)
Quiet for now...Sydneysiders are slowly finding out our secrets and it is killing me to see rent prices go up every year.
And the Novacastrian attitude slowly changing.. Sydney is horrible, plastic fantastic wanna be Hollywood,,, It's vile and only attractive to people with money and bad attitudes, money they throw up the wall because they think it makes them somebody.. Yuk,
Don't check out Newcastle. Piss off, stay away. Newie is a shithole.
They hate strangers, rocks will be thrown to you.
