You resembles a lot with Constance wu in so many ways. You guys have same sounding voice, the way you guys talk and your hand gesture when you talk. Nice!
Haha, I never thought of that! Interesting!
ugh, no need to insult her.
Ha... ha.... ha... yes, you remind me the actress, Constance Wu from Freshly off the boat sitcom. Probably the accent, the way you talk and the features too. We happen live in Toronto, North York area.
Definitely appreciate this video! 🙏
Love love loveeeeeeeee this video. Congrats on 10k subbies
Thank you so much, have a great day!
Woohoo! Congrats!
Thanks a lot!
WoW Irina! Seriously though. I couldn't even guess that you are an Indonesian and a talented actress on top of that. That's awesome really!!
Now that you have shared your background, it does give clearer context to all your videos. Thank you.
May we know how old you are? Were you in Indonesia during the year of 1998?
I'm glad it clarifies things! Yes, I was in Indonesia during that scary time. I was young enough to not fully absorb what was happening. Thanks and all the best for everything you do!
Your parents moved a lot that's very interested 😳😱😱♥️♥️
Yes, quite a lot!
Congrats on hitting 10k! 🎉
Thank you Jen 🤗, you know exactly how it feels! :D Hope everything's well with "all" of you :)
Interesting life story. Thanks for sharing.
Best wishes..your openness is admirable.
Thanks, I try to, at least a bit, while still keeping some boundaries!
What a beautiful story, I really enjoyed it, you're super talented and very interesting person and fun to Watch. Amazing 👏❤😊
Love Canada too! Thank you for educating tons of people around the world with your channel and representing our country with great light :)
That really explains a lot. You have a very pleasant glow about you that's really adorable. It makes sense that you had so many different experiences in your life. Wish the best for you.
Going to move to Canada myself from Bangladesh end of this year. Cheers and keep posting vids!
I thought it was about time to give some more context. Thank you very much. I will definitely continue! Wishing you all the best for your move, hove everything goes smoothly!
I'm a new subscriber, I've just discovered your channel today, have watched 3 of your videos and I love how holistically informative and eloquent you are in your videos, like, you really look at all sides of things before speaking about them. Now I know why, and it's because you've lived in different parts of the world and I find that really interesting. I thought, wow, you are Miss Worldwide (in my mind, I'm saying that in Pitbull's voice haha). It's really nice and eye-opening to hear the thoughts of people like you who have a wider perspective on the world because you've been to a lot of places. I'm glad I came across your channel and will be following your contents from now! Love and appreciation from the Philippines 😊
I am Indonesian living in France for the past 18 years; i landed on your video about why people are leaving Canada (i don't know why the net proposed me that), and i wonder why you had this south east asian (and slightly Indonesian) air. So now i have my answer. Congratulations on reaching the 10k subs.
I love your channel, I was just visiting Toronto and other cities in Canada and I’ve gotta tell your content really saved me a lot of time and money, THANK YOU, love your vibe and good work.
I hope you enjoyed your stay in Canada! Thanks for letting me know, I really appreciate it!
I love Canada (In a big city you can eat anything you want lol). What do you love the most about Canada? Congratulations on the 10K subscribers. Well deserved. You're very talented.
The eating part, yes, so true lol :). It sounds pretty basic, but I love the weather (yes, the weather!) and how spacious it is. The air is super fresh and it's such a treat to take walks in the park or near the lake.
I'd say, I can imagine having Canada as my new home long-term because people here come from all around the world. It makes it easy to imagine myself as a Canadian. It's difficult to say what I love most, actually your question made me think. Will contemplate and talk more about it in one of my future videos.
Thanks for the kind words also, I really appreciate it!
What an interesting life you've had ❤
Your a very beautiful person with a beautiful smile because in the sun I can see your warm smile and thank you for all of these helpful videos , from your new fan stay safe and have a very wonder day! ☺️♥️
Thank you and a warm welcome to the channel!
Very interesting! Although a lifelong Canadian myself (descended from Loyalists) I have found your content on using the Go Train very helpful and am now a subscriber. Great work!
Haha, thank you, I'm glad to here that! Interesting! Yes it's funny how as immigrants or even tourists people explore all sorts of things. Welcome to the channel!
Your life journey story is long but amazing 😍. Greetings from Pakistan 🇵🇰
Thank you!
As a Canadian this was a very nice video. That's quite the journey and I wanted to say thanks for being here! Bloom where you are planted would be what my mom would say. I've lived in Japan but never Europe so I found your touching base with Germany time and time again funny. While I love Japan I might live in Germany one day as there's a citizenship by descent status I'm looking into. Interesting choice in Canada though I'm wondering what Canada could possibly have over Germany? Anyway thanks for the video and channel. Happy New Year and all the best in 2024
Hi Chiu Yen, if I were you, I would stay in Canada too. Anyway, good luck to you in Toronto....
hurray you have an very interesting path!!! I just accidentally came across your videos as a newbie in Calgary.... it was fascinating, and thanks for sharing
Thanks and welcome to the channel!
wow what a beautiful Journey and gorgeous accent. You are very intelligent. I like the way you talk, I started watching your videos and subscribed as I will be coming to Toronto end of May and love to watch your videos. We may be see you one day in Toronto face to face who knows.
That's such a kind comment. I'm glad my videos/discussions resonate with you. Thanks for supporting the channel, and yes, Toronto is not that large, people do cross path sometimes! Have a nice day!
That's an awesome story and it was so interesting.
Great to hear that, thanks!
I am Japanese and used to live in US, Australia and Indonesia. Thus I could easily understand your experiences and thoughts. While I lived in Jakarta for 8 years and like the city, I like North America very much.
That's so interesting, I feel we have something in common! Jakarta is definitely not for me, at least not for the long term.
I’ve met people from pretty much every corner of the world, although it’s been awhile since my last encounter with an ethnic Chinese from Indonesia. My impression, based on the accent of the Living in Canada woman, was someone from Taiwan or Mainland China.
Just recently subscribed, I was quite surprised to know that you have Chinese-Indonesia heritage! Keep up the good work, I watched many of your winter layering tips, very helpful especially as I am preparing to travel to a winter destination.
Welcome to the channel! Glad to hear that, and thank you!
Your life and personality are really interesting, my parents are from two very different backgrounds, father is from Germany,my mother was born in Shanghai China, she and her parents had to leave everything behind because of the war.
My father left Germany east at the time and became a west German.
They both met in Brazil.
Where I and my brother were born.
Grew up in Canada from the age of 2.😊
super interesting life journey!
Congrats on 10k !!! Amazing👏
Thank you! I'm really looking up to your channel, you're doing such great work!
@@LivinginCanada I had no idea you were also in the film industry!! That is so cool 👏
Yes it has been a long term pursuit! But mostly active as actor and producer (therefore not skilled with camera, lights, etc :) Do you also make films?
@@LivinginCanada I think some day I would like to make films! That to me seems like a logical phase in my life😁
You can definitely do it, all the best!
Yeah, your video is quite interesting, life also interesting as well, you look like a Chinese and sound like Chinese who speaks a bit good english compare with most of other Chinese Canadians. Good luck in Toronto.
Hi dear! I came across your video while searching abt Canada. I wish I could visit Canada one day. Btw, I'm your new subscriber ! This is my 1st video of yours that I watched, I've enjoyed it much. I don't have history of often mobility, but I was born in Malaysia with Indonesian parents. Studying here till I make a living here too, relate to you, I able to visit my grandparents in Indonesia quite often since childhood days.
Hopefully you will stay healthy, pretty and kind.
Will try to watch your other videos too.
Welcome to the channel, I'm glad you enjoyed the videos!
Ya ampun ternyata orang Indonesia juga. Aku berencana pergi ke Toronto bulan September. Thank you for your videos! So helpful! 😊
Salam kenal! Welcome to the channel, happy you like the videos! Take care!
I thought you are from Korea. But in one of your videos, you told that u r from Indonesia. I am really surprised !! Greeting from Thailand.
Glad to have someone from Thailand on the channel, greetings from Toronto!
What a journey! Really surprised that your family once moved back to Indonesia as I heard there was mass ethnic violence and discrimination against Chinese Indonesians in the lates 1990s, Anyway, congrats on your 10K subs!
Thank you very much! They moved back before the riots. Had they known those were coming, they wouldn't have moved back, I bet! :)
Thank you to everyone who has been watching my videos, I appreciate all of you! ❤ I’m looking forward to making many more videos for you! Have a great day everyone!😎 Also, please feel free to leave your questions for me in the comments, I might not get back immediately with a full answer, but gather your questions to answer in the next special, thanks!
I stumbled on your channel via the megabus review. Thanks for your history. Very interesting. I've lived all over Canada and travelled the world, and there's nowhere else I've been tempted to live. Great channel. Thanks.
Welcome ! ❤
Personally , I could not appreciate living in a metropolis. I prefer lesser populated areas.... but with you being a world traveller , that allows you an appreciation for the big cities.
I just stumbled on two of your videos. I'll have to check out more of them.
What areas of Ont do you still want to check out ?
Oh I from Köln too, greetings
Hallo! Ich bin in Köln geboren, dann aber nach Bonn Bad-Godesberg umgezogen :)
I also moved a lot in my childhood, which wasn't as much as you but still, impactive enough, so I really can't say where my hometown is. I guess, find your roots instead of going back to your roots (落叶生根而不是落叶归根)
Google gave me this translation: "Falling leaves take root instead of falling leaves returning to roots". I guess that's not a good translation, your sentence sounded much better! Nice one, really!
Hello my new subscriber here..from Philippines..ms.Chiu Yen😊..God bless always.
Welcome!!
Das war sehr interessant. Schön das du dich so gut in Kanada eingelebt hast. Ich bin ja auch nach Kanada vor 12 Jahren ausgewandert und habe es nicht bereut. Ja, ok, das Wetter finde ich nicht so toll. 😄🥶 Ich dachte auch das du Koreanerin bist. Meine Mutter ist aus Korea. Tja, Ein Wolly ist eben die kleinste Einheit zwischen zwei Fettnäpchen. LOL. Alles Gute.
Danke! Ja es kann schon ziemlich kalt werden, aber trotzdem bevorzuge ich das Wetter hier. Es war mir viel zu heiß in Indonesien (obwohl das Essen toll ist!) Alles gute auch!
Congratulations! I have been to the Gili Islands in Lombok and also Batam in Indonesia before and I am married to a Singaporean. I m currently in the GTA - What a small world
Great to hear you've been in that area, I hope you enjoyed it! Yes, it's interesting how so many different people from all around the world are here!
very interesting
Thanks!
Wow. Your background is wonderfully interesting. I started watching your videos from the interesting tips and trips you had uaing VIA Rail and Go Train. I like to hear stories why people choose to move to Toronto or Canada. I would love to hear your thoughts on it if there isn't already a video about it already.
That's an interesting idea! Currently there's a trend of people making videos about why people leave Canada. I was thinking of covering that and also talk about why I'm staying.
HUGE CONGRATS on the 10K subs!
And thanks for the hard work putting these amazing videos up consistently. Now treat yourself some coffee 🦝🥳
Thanks so much! I will definitely get myself a huge latte :)! Thanks for your support!
Great timing actually; I think I've left a comment on one of your other video to know where you are from.... as I wanted to know what you are comparing Toronto to... Very interesting ... To me, Toronto has a long way to go vs. most of (western) European cities in term of urbanism and quality of life (and this includes affordability and "value for money"). I am not planning on making my life here and maybe going back to Europe (maybe south of france) or actually asia... We will see... Anyways, great job on your videos and thank you for the detail about your life; this gives legitimity to your content ;) ... Lots of success for the future :)
Good to hear that the context helps! Yeah, I found daily groceries to be much more expensive than in Germany. There I could (well, over 10 years ago!) buy a basic but delicious yogurt for 35 euro cents. Here dairy is so expensive, and so is cheese. Thank you, and all the best in everything you do as well!
You have an interesting background, being exposed to so many cultures and languages. Toronto, as an immigrant magnet and a multicultural city, suits you well.
Thanks! I do like it here, despite everything that's happening. I could see myself calling Canada my home!
Wow!! Dari Jerman dan dari Indonesia?! Orang tua saya dari Indonesia juga tapi saya lahir di Kanada.
Yes that's right, salam kenal!
seriously? sama dong dgn saya, sama2 landed immigrant.
Just started watching some of your videos. This one was a nice change. I found your story interesting and as I watched you go on about your travels, I did come with one question. How old are you? Lol someone with your life experiences I’d expect to be in their later 40’s or early 50’s. You look no where near either of those. Thank you for sharing. Nice to meet you.🤝
Welcome! Five years later :p. I have a friend who has settled in Ottawa, who was originally from Germany. She's always wanted to live in Canada as well.
Interesting!
I've always thought you were from Laos, sorry. I love your content.
Interesting! Makes sense to think that. Thank you!
I’m watching at 30k.
I’ve worked in that area.
Is interesting.
Halo,
Terima kasih
Video-video di channel Anda sangat informatif dan berguna sekali bagi saya dan suami yang akan segera pindah dari Indonesia ke Kingston, Ontario
Amazing, never can imagine you are a German. Keeping stay with beautiful things is awesome, it's a pity hearing you're gonna back to the country.
You never know where life takes you!
@@LivinginCanada wish you'll be happy wherever you are
Thank you! I wish you the same.
This is my second video from this channel and never would have I thought that u are also Indonesian Chinese. U’re more like American or Canadian Chinese, based on the accent. But this video explained why u got that accent
People never guess it. But makes sense, since ethnically I'm Chinese and I got my accent from all sorts of places!
Thanks for sharing. Why did you not want to stay in Europe? Seems like such a fun place to live in
I loved it. It really used to be my home. Back then, it wasn't easy to get permanent residence/citizenship in Germany. Nowadays it's become easier (because they need immigration). Since it was easier to immigrate to Canada, I chose to move here instead! Thanks for watching!
Hi... This video is very special ❤ It's interesting why your parents decided to move back to Indonesia. Also was curious about whether you have a German passport and why not to live in Germany, but have found the answers in the comments. One thing i'd say is that in Europe the society, the nations are homogeneous. Like a nation-state countries. Of course, it doesn't mean you cannot live there, especially considering your native German! But still might be a factor for a person thinking of emigrating there. Where as Canada and the US are more like nations-corporations. They are ready to absorb different people not thinking they are losing something.
And it's so unfair that you, being a German (some strings attached😊), do not have German documents.
I watched some of your videos like half a year ago, when I was living in Montenegro (im not Montenegrin:)), and now its been a month since I'm here! But i'm in Vancouver area. Came here alone.
My name is Denis. Maybe someday i will travel to Toronto. It would be so nice to meet you... I know it might sound strange 😂 Sorry if so!
You understand my feelings quite well, I do feel a bit sad not having a German passport, at least I did in the past! But I've gotten over it, since now I'm living in Toronto. I do meet viewers by coincidence, in Toronto, here and then, so who knows!
I lived in Heidelberg too in the summer of 2008 as an exchange bachelor student from Luxembourg! Best summer ever!
Guten Tag!
Yes, it's especially beautiful in the summer, I miss Heidelberg a lot!
@@LivinginCanada oh ja die Neckarwiesen für Studenten und Familien.. the place to be in Heidelberg! And also the Heidelberg 🏰 for sure
I miss also the fact that you can sit outside and have a beer or two everywhere you want in Europe!
I have the same background, I was in Bandung, Indonesia. Lived in Zurich and Bern for a while and then went to University of Washington in Seattle. Went back to Indonesia to work in Jakarta until May 1998 🥲, moved back to Seattle since then. My brother went to TU Berlin, both my niece and nephew were born in Berlin and can’t speak Indonesian. None in family can Chinese
Interesting journey... N e buset I thought u were fron Japan..
Interesting! Haha, not from Japan but love the country!
Hi Irina!
Is this Agus, Agustina's brother? :)
It's quite simple, you are a citizen of this world.
i've been living in canada all my life (43 years) and trust me when i say this.. canada used to be much much better place to live back in the days... trudeau and liberals just absolutely destroyed canada beyond repair..
Absolutely true! I'm 6th generation and I "temporarily" left Canada ten yrs ago, and it's indeed ruined now so I'll never live there again! Of course, I've visited and I have relatives there stuck working as a doctor and a senior RCMP official. The horror stories they have now! Awful!
Our troubles here in the States are the conservatives Trump.@@davidrichards1741
Couldn't agree more. He has no clue.
Canada has its problems like anyone else. Cost of living is high, but since the pandemic name one country where the cost of living hasn't increased. Everyone is mad at our leader, but then again, which country since the pandemic not a dictatorship isn't mad at its leadership. Grass is always greener on the other side of the fence.
Been here over 50 and your Liberals and Trudeau destroyed Canada is so far in the wrong direction it may have originated in a outhouse hole on the roadside on the TransCanada. South of here it would be called deplorable.(MCGA)?
I Love you!
This was interesting to learn about you. I do have some questions now,
Have you ever mixed up your languages when you speak since you know English, German & Bahasa Indonesia?
What language do you think in?
Without asking your age of course, do you remember the Boxing Day Tsunami in Indonesia in 2004?
Those are really good questions! I thought about it once, and it's kind of a mixed situation. It seems like one or another language lights up and becomes more active when thinking about certain topics/emotions. And yes, I do mix up languages sometimes! An excellent question to answer in more depth in one of the next specials!
That year I was already in Germany, so I was not in Indonesia. Thanks for the questions!
"What language do you think in?" An excellent question?
Having learnt Spanish and Arabic (English mother tongue) as a long term traveler, I recall some advice. It was to tell oneself a story in the language you're trying to learn as you sleep off.
Young children were unknowingly amongst my best teachers.
I experienced Malayalam of Kerala, India too challenging. Others have mastered it.
I lived 8 years in B.C., up on the islands. Justifiably called Beautiful B.C.
Sharing your method of linguistic acquisition would be instructive?
Halo salam kenal. Pleasantly surprised to know you’re a cindo too. Pegang kewargangegaraan mana skrg?
Can we hear you speak a bit of german? Also congrats of the 10k subscribers!!
Haha, first person to ask that! Sure, will slip that into one of my videos some time!!
I stayed in Malaysia for 17 years. Miss the indonesian and malaysian makan.
Ur great grand father and mother is from Fujian Province, China.
Really? How do you know? I was born & raised in US and Canada, but most of the people where I live now (in malaysia) have ancestors from Fujian. They are good ppl and nicer than US & CA.
You look Southern Chinese, so my first guess was Hong Kong. However, when you speak English you do not have a Hong Kong accent and we can all agree that it is not a North American accent either. So I was quite intrigued. Of course, that was before I heard the answer, which surprisingly was Indonesia. How delightfully interesting!
I think u from china or kerea, I false to guess u mrs. I am from indonesia be happy hear your clarify.
Salam kenal!
Wow good to know. Lots of immigration you had to undergo. Are you Hakka chinese ? right ? Your surname is very common in Singapore too
Mainly Hokkian, as far as I know! Right, the name Tan in Singapore is as common as a ‘Smith’ or ‘Brown’ in the US.
Boleh mbak apa kabar mbak, been moving all around the globe
thank you very much for the sharing. Do you think speaking a second language like German or French gives you some advantage in professional world?
Hi, Indonesian here❤. Actually currently I am interested migrate to German or Canada for career growth😅. Can you give give me some tips which is better. Thank you
I would say the biggest factor is language! You can excel in your career in any country. Which language are you better at? Which culture do you think you'd like better? :)
how come so much mobility?! 😊
Following my parents plans and their careers basically! :)
Congratulations 🎉, could you compare how hard it is to get singaporean PR vs Canadian PR?
That’s interesting, I’ll talk about that some time!
Upcoming video:
"How to get a girl like myself in Canada..." :D
Cologne , where the perfume comes from.
Wow you had an amazing, unique childhood. I really hope you’ve been able to maintain fluency in all of your languages.
Did you ever happen to learn Chinese by any chance?
Also, I could have sworn that you were Korean. I thought your slight accent might have been Korean. But it might be from a mix of all of your languages. No offense intended, of course!
Haha, no offense taken at all! Interesting!
Unfortunately I never learnt Chinese beyond some very basic words and phrases. My parents never taught me and as adult I couldn't get around to learning it! I am still fluent in Indonesian, in general also fluent in German, but as I rarely speak in German, words escape me sometimes😂.
Yeah the accent is kind of a weird mix!
@@LivinginCanada Appreciate the reply!
I found this channel after having binge watched everything from your Multiple Careers channel. Looking forward to watching the content here.
I recently saw your Kingston travel video. Brought back some good memories from when I lived there with my parents from 93-99. I remember checking out Fort Henry, Lake Ontario, Queens. I was too young to hang out around Princess St without my parents. That's definitely something I'd like to check out as an adult. We moved to Washington DC after in 99 and haven't gone back to Canada since. Even though Canada and the US are very similar culturally, I still miss Canada very much. Your Canada videos are kind of like simulated trips for me. Thanks!
@@LivinginCanada It is never too late to learn.
I’ve always wanted to understand: what goes into the decision of someone from other countries in choosing Canada instead of the US, or vice versa?
There are a lot of reasons, but one very practical one is: It's easier to immigrate to Canada, at least from what I've experienced!
Doesn't matter where you are from, you are beautiful.
You look like HONGKONG celebrity Niki CHOW "周励淇“
I don't know her, but thanks!
My you're the internation woman. Doesn't Canada subsidize their movie makers? Are you being subsidized? I've been to Canada a few times I really liked it Vancouver. I hope to go back and see more of your country someday.
If you ever build your career and live in China, you will be very surprised and shocked. Maybe you should give some thought about it
什么时候来中国玩呀😊
although you can not speak Chinese, but your English really has a Chinese speaker accent 😂
Haha that's funny, I wonder where I picked that up!
@@LivinginCanada You picked that up from Singapore...
I was damn sure you are from Japan.
Interesting 🤔, I got that before!
i wonder how many years she'll stay in canada
We'll only know in the end.
So i am assuming you can also speak Chinese language?
Nope, unfortunately not!
Friend how are you may i know what is your movie name i want to see the movie
Heavily chinese accent of english😂
didn't expect you were from Indo, judging by your name. For a second, I thought you were Malaysian. Anyway, I really enjoy your insightful videos about Canada since the news in the US barely speaks about what's happening in Canada. Out of curiosity, do you speak fluent bahasa? Do you consider indo or german food as your comfort food?
What makes you think that people care to know where you from and why does it take 12 minutes to explain it?
I was taken aback when you mentioned millennials. How about Baby Boomers? I happen to know that Germany was divided between the Soviets and the free western countries. Did you know there was a Berlin Wall? I was born when the wall went up and I and my late wife witnessed when the wall came down. Please don’t think you are the only generation around-there are people older than you and younger than you. As a boomer I felt disrespected by that comment.
So no mandarin or other Chinese language skills?
This video came with disappointment. I hoped you will talk more about your feelings as young girl going back and forth trough countries. Cause i have daughters. Currently we live in Germany, and neither me (Slavic) or wife (Taiwanese) feel good here. Main reason is German language and lack of socializing. I often think to move again, either back home, to Taiwan or to Canada/UK. Income and cost do not matter that much, cause I work remote as software developer and do stock investing too. As investor I am super comfortable Canada will excel in next decades over mentioned countries. You did good choice to pick Canada.
I am watching your videos with interest as I find their quality very good. But I still struggle to understand why you moved to Canada. It seems to me that your life standard has degraded somehow, by leaving a successful life and career in Germany / Indonesia / Singapore for an uncertain future as CZcamsr in a tiny Toronto Condo - with worse climate and lower social security and healthcare. Can you explain this, or perhaps this is subject of a previous (or future)) video? Thanks and good luck 👍
Why would your parents name you Chinese but not teach you Chinese 😂
They thought I should have a Chinese name since we're of Chinese descent. I guess at that time they thought we were going to stay in Germany permanently, and they didn't see the need to. Assumptions, lol. I still hope to learn the language one day though.
Do you know that her parents were not born in China too and that many indonesian-chinese are from Southern China where they were not mandarin chinese speakers .
@@christofat2704sorry? U seemed to miss some words. But they could give a Chinese name, meaning that they know Chinese, right?
@@LouisInBlue Chinese name ? Yes , but not a chinese Mandarin name as her ancestors were not mandarin speakers ! Do not forget mandarin was only imposed after 1949 to the whole of China for better reunification
@@LouisInBlue you may have a spanish name without knowing spanish !
