- Travelling the world and living abroad is good for so many things, and a fresh perspective on your own country is one of them. I felt like I had reverse culture shock, the first time I came back to Australia and here's some of the things I discovered...
This is the final video that I've got in Australia, so from next week onwards... Japan!
My response to the haters: • Why do Australians hat...

So it appears that a lot of you disagreed with what I had to say in this video, and that's fine - everyone is allowed their own opinion, including me. So I made a video for anyone who disagrees: czcams.com/video/wh5QqinyhRo/video.html
CurrentlyHannah I have to disagree especially with the weather it is fucking hot and sticky af in summer, you literally sweat all the time and where I live in Aus most of the time we have to sleep with the ac on it’s that humid and sticky
1) Australia day was Jan 28. I think maybe you forgot to publish this video?
2) It is very hot in some parts of Australia. Let me guess you live on the east coast. Yes the summer's there are more mild. Try more than a week of 45C when the coolest night minimum is 34C.
3) Aussie is expensive. It's because we get good wages.
4) Alcohol laws are state based. Don't blame Australia, blame Queensland.
But yes the lock in laws suck. But so do the piss heads who are fuck wits and punch the fuck out of whatever they can get their hands on.
5) The suns not as strong everywhere else. But it's not hotter.
6) Shopping times are state based. Don't blame Australia, blame Queensland.
jtan163 isn't Australia day Jan 26?*
jtan163 correction Australia Day is the 26th of January not the 28th not sure where you got that information from but it’s incorrect.
jtan163 Yeah, the Pilbara in WA is 45 degrees for weeks at a time in summer with night temps of 34.
A lot of WA has temps like that throughout summer if you aren't on the southern coast.
I'm Aussie, living in in Japan for 11 years and yes the Aussie sky is sooooo amazing. Especially sunsets.
Poor Japan gets hit by the brunt of the pollution coming from China and India
Spain's sunsets are even better
I always miss Australia when I have to travel overseas. I actually say Australia ruined the rest of the world for me.
I can’t stop drawing parallels - the sky doesn’t seem as beautiful, the people don’t seem as friendly, the streets don’t look as clean. I still enjoy traveling and visiting new places, but the best part of the trip is knowing I’m coming back home to Australia soon.
Funnily enough, I wasn’t even born here - but I actually feel more like a stranger in the country I’m originally from than I do here.
Aww 🥺🥺 now i want to live in Australia
I really like Australians. One of my good friends is Australian and he's humble, chill, polite, but at the same time also adventurous and down for anything. The one time I went to Melbourne, I had the best time because everyone is just so nice to me, even the grumpy-looking ones (I asked an old scary-looking laundromat manager for directions and he went beyond what I needed to know).
That’s aussies for ya
This makes me happy to hears😁🇦🇺👍🏻
I was born in the Uk and moved Australia with my family at a young age
I was about 7 years old
With my Dads work we moved around alot and experienced many cities and small towns across Australia
Ive done similar in my working life and also travelled for work and leisure around the world
Australia is still a very lucky country and i feel very privileged to call this country my home
Everytime I travel and then come home to Australia it makes me feel so lucky to live here. It really is beautiful here.
Agreed!
+Kirsty G - everytime I go to Europe and return to Australia it reinforces what a hot, backward and corrupt dump this place is. Australia is a shithole compared to places like Germany, Norway and Austria.
You mustn’t have been to many places.
Ken oath
@@howlinsg1968 Funny, a few of the cities in Australia are ranked in the top ten most livable places in the world. And we're a very wealthy country. Germany is an absolute shithole, I've been there twice. Most of the shops I needed fucking cash and the people are boring as fuck. Too formal. Can't comment on Norway or Austria though.
Ummmm not sure what bit of Australia you're from, but there are parts of Oz, ie Qld and N.NSW that are humid af.
Like when it's technically only somewhat hot but the heat hurts your eyes? At least a dry heat is sunscreen layers and water.
Anna Starseed still not as humid as the 98% humidity in autumn in Japan
Eren - it’s in the 80s and 90s of humidity in QLD almost everyday between October and April
we had a 45° day here in Melbourne in 2018, pretty sure thats exceptionally hot
Adelaide is dry asf
Australia is a friendly country, I came from China. Most people are very nice to me. It’s a lovely country.
I really like your video. I have lived in the USA for 18 years and I would always complain about the awful customer service but now that I'm back in Melbourne I realize that customer service here is just as bad, it's not as it used to be. When I go for walks around my neighborhood I do get people who say hi and are very friendly and makes me very proud to know Australians are friendly people. I too can't stop looking at the sky it just looks so much beautiful from Melbourne I can actually see the stars. As for the weather in Melbourne, winter wasn't as cold as I expected and summer so far aren't as hot compare to the US. California to be pricise but I agree, the sun just really burns here in Melbourne. As for retail, shops they do close way way to early in Melbourne the banks (NAB) and post office close at 4pm Mon-Thu. and 5pm on Fridays that sucks. Most retail stores close at 5pm except for Thursdays and Fridays they close no later than 9pm. One thing that I love about Australia is the fact that we can drink water right from the tap and it taste delicious. I love how Australia is so unique, parks in every corner, free fruits for the kids at the supermarkets, variety of colourful Australian birds flying around and on green pastures, beautiful beaches that can not be compare and having 4 seasons in one day in Melbourne is superb. God bless Australia!!!
Who buys bottled water in Australia? The tap water is some of the cleanest in the world.
Fluoride fear. A lot of people are dumb plus the 'well maybe it couldn't hurt' people.
Daniel McMahon Ghys you can’t drink your tap water once you leave your house
The town water here (qid) stinks of chlorine. REALLY stinks. Never had that in nsw.
It tastes better
Daniel McMahon Ghys I HATE Canberra water I can not stand it I always have to fill up a bunch of water bottles and take them interstate
Lol you pissed off all the Queenslanders when you said it doesn't get humid here.
Rainy Day 90%+ humidity for 8 months straight! And what about the NT, she said that Australians only experience a dry heat for like 4 months, its bloody 34 degrees there. Broome is similar as well
Oath
Yes. It doesn't get humid. The floors don't go underwater in my house at all from it.
Ikr
Yep, if you're from Cairns, it's impossible to go to the big cities without your skin drying up and your lips getting chapped left right and centre.
Have you travelled around Australia very much? The different states and cities vary hugely. This video is like generalising all of Europe.
@Joe helo u can't help me pls Reply sms
Yeah I was really thinking that cause I am from Brisbane and it get super humid from there and don’t even get me started about northern Australia. I am currently living in korea and I feel like the summer is very similar in humidity and heat.
I love what you said about the skies in Australia, I totally agree and miss looking at it so much!
This is very specific to wherever you’re from in Australia, not the entire country
“Australia isn’t very hot” 2minutes later “the sun is so hot”
Hannah Fowler my thoughts exactly....i got confused lol
Jacquie Smith so the strength of the sunlight doesn’t increase the temperature? If I was you, I would go and research solar radiation and the effects on temperature.....maybe then apologies to the two people you bullied.
and "Australians are Wussies" but "are Violent Drunks". So which is it? Violent or Wussy? I live in a hot humid part of Country Victoria and about 90% of the population are far from being wussies! So many wrong statements in this Video. I also have friends who visit from Singapore, Bangladesh, and India and even they say the air is muggy (humid) here. But yes, we have some of the cleanest sky on Earth and that is something to be proud of. As an Astronomer I can REALLY appreciate that fact 😃
I was thinking that😂
The temperatures are not roasting in Hawaii but the sun is hot. If there was not the trade winds, would be much hotter than it is now.
About to return home after an extended stint abroad in South Korea, Japan and Singapore, I get so much of what you are talking about. Thanks for the video.
Thanks I'm going to be going to Australia in March and your little vid was very informative it's always good to get a heads up on these things 😎
Should maybe say the place you live in australia, instead of mentioning ALL australia in your differences. For example darwin is basically 30 all year, southern capitals get hotter than queelsland cities.
Apparently shops close at 5.30 because it is actually somehow better for the workers in these jobs for pay and stuff.
Steven Balekic It gets cold too. I live in Canberra we get over 30 in Summer and below 0 in winter.
Is Darwin next to a base or something? The people who live there are stubborn AF. How many natural disasters and foreign invasions does it take?
I currently live in melbourne but grew up in qld and north qld and it is much hotter in qld and the temperatures out west are much hotter than standard Victorian towns in summer and the humidity is much higher.
Steven Balekic I live near Melbourne and it’s really cold where I live in winter. One year it even snowed a little bit. And the summers can be 30+ degrees.
But when I went to Queensland last year in the winter it was like summer never ended. I swam all holidays there. All the locals were huddled up and had jackets and jumpers on while I had a tank top and shorts on. I got some pretty weird looks.
She said she lives in Brisbane
Um it actually depends on where you live in Australia. North Australia is hotter and Western Australia is hotter than Queensland also the Northern Territory is worse.
whiteangel256 100%
Yeah but the humidity is usually 50+% humidity here in north qld.
She’s obviously haven’t been to West Aus. 30 to 35??? Where’d she go? Melbourne or tas ?
can't forget the unforgiving humidity in north Queensland either
Australia is a big country. Some areas are tropical. Queensland has drought + floods. Tasmania is on a completely different level... Adelaide was the one with all the Heatstroke's but Sydney seems to be getting heat despite South Australia being the driest state in the driest country on earth. It was all heatwavey a few years ago but records are only being broken like every 2 years. Because of holing up in air-conditioning and precautions the heatstroke isn't as standard. Everywhere gets hot and cold but the heat feels different depending on where you are. Say you get through on a 35C day (your standard summer) in Adelaide depending on dry heat or humidity, moving over to solar unsurprisingly... Sydney's heat isn't cancer inducing burning but it is hot. Victoria is... Idk? I haven't been in a few years and its a whole pile of twists and turns.
Flood drought, fire, bug bites, bad snakes, snakes that lead you to water.
I came here for the comments 🤣
So did I.
Lol
Me to 🤣
I'm Japanese and have lived in Australia and now live in Canada. I relate to so many things you mentioned in this video and it literally made me want to go back to such a beautiful country, Australia! I love and enjoy your every single video, Hannah!xx
shops close because all workers are paid better wages and owners quickly work out that we are not usually late shoppers and it is not worth their while opening after 5pm. shop often and shop early.
No in most places the shop owners want to be be open later but the council zoning requirements don't allow them to open later. Plenty of people (myself included) would love to have time to shop after work.
Yeah, pay people in cafes less.
Paul Richardson and on thursdays and fridays they’re open till 9
Exactly right. I've worked in the same shop for 15 years and we've reduced our opening hours from 7pm to 5.30pm. Our wage is still good and as a small business the owner doesn't have to worry about penalty rates which helps him but keeps us in a job. Anyone that complains obviously weren't around when we had close at midday saturday and no sunday trading. We all survived and had a day of rest. God I sound old but wish we were back in those times.
I've always found shift workers to be less reliable when it comes to showing up than full time workers. So from my perspective I'd rather not have to pay an extra shift and then all the drama that comes with it.
I never heard anyone say Australia is the hotest country .You need to visit the outback ,then you know about it
Yeah I've been there :)
Steve Klimentos it got to 53 degrees under our tin roof once then it was 42 outside
No one has ever said Australia is the hottest country ever
Australia has the hottest ladies.
I live in the outback.. it gets to around 45-47 degrees every day in the summer. Then it gets to 3-7 degrees in winter. It’s very weird and our climate change is uh... idk lol
Thanks for the information. I will be traveling to Australia on a few weeks. So exited !!!
When you talked about the closing time in Aus, I was like “Yesssss! Yessss! I know right?!”. It drive me crazy everytime. I can only have a night out on Friday and Saturday. like... wtf
It’s the weak ozone layer in Australia that makes the sun so harsh so it’s a different kind of heat easy to get sunburn e.t.c
Andrew Pemberton you havent even experienced 'weak' ozone until you go to New Zealand
Andrew Pemberton dude those aerosols that were effecting the ozone haven't been used in 20 years, its just the globe going through a natural heat high like back in the 1500s,
Dude the ozone layer was permanently damaged, that hole will be there forever
no it's not permanent the ozone layer is recovering since the Montreal Protocol
yeah was about to say that cant stay under the sun for 20 minutes during summer in new zealand without getting sunburnt
It’s like 32 or more in darwin *all year* not to mention we don’t have the 4 seasons and it’s like 80% humidity everyday. You can’t speak for the whole of Australian when talking about weather because it’s so big and has differing environments
I've lived in Noosa since one month ago so I really agree with your opinion! I think Australia is very beautiful and everyone is friendly and warm.
I’ve been living in Australia for three months so far, in Brisbane. And I just love how random people talk to you, or greet you. It’s so lovely. I don’t know how hot gets here because I moved at the beginning of spring. So looking forward to summer. I come from a Caribbean country where it’s so hot and humid like Singapore.
wait, maybe 37?
...in my town, it averages 37-42-
Luckypawpads whatarea you live in ... not in a creepy way
Perrywinkle smile I'm in an outback area in QLD, by mining towns and farmers.
That... That is why Adelaide beach is great.
In Phoenix, AZ, USA, the highest recorded temperature is 122 F which is about 50 C. Phoenix is hot.
jesica cervantes Hottest recorded temp in South Aus is 49.7℃. Read about the Australian Angry Summer lol.
I'm not sure what part of Australia youre in, but you probably shouldn't generalise the temperature of a whole country. Sure, wherever you are might not get hot, but try putting up with weeks of temperatures 38-42! And overnight temperature sometimes not dropping much below 30. Didnt finish watching your video- waste of my time
Indeed. Adelaide does this most summers ....
And the humidity is horrid anywhere above Brisbane
Also, some places have to experience that heat for weeks on end and then have to deal with temperatures cold enough for snow.
Bella Grace wrong, the humidity is awful from Brisbane up.
You need to understand how to accept another person's opinions and views without getting so butthurt. A very large majority of Australia can relate to this video, if you can't that's fine but there's no need for the attitude. Thanks x
My wife and I are from Brisbane too, and we agree that we definitely took it for granted. After moving to a city further north we really became aware of how many beautiful locations we'd simply not visited anywhere near often enough while we were living in Brisbane.
I think you have a very limited view of Australia. A lot of the the laws you speak of are state laws not federal. The heat thing is also very state based. The Northern Territory is over 30 degrees year round, and 40 degrees for most of summer. Tasmania is pretty cold, you don’t really get anyone complaining about the heat there. Also like hardly any shops in capital cities close at 5pm. Most close at 6pm, and have late shopping nights Thursday and/or friday. In Melbourne most are open to 9pm Thursday and Friday. Smaller towns or suburbs probably don’t stay open later but that’s about it.
It’s fine and good to have an ‘opinion’ but these are not opinions, their facts. Plain and simple.
Hannah Nugent Tasmania can get. Hot, but is a different heat to Qld. I’m ex-Tasmanian
I agree
Haha people in tassie do complain about the heat but instead if it’s 20 it’s aight but if it’s 25-30 everyone acts like it’s the end of the world
Everyone moans about the weather. I moved to thailand 11 years ago and the thai's complain about the heat every day
I have a reason to complain about the heat. Last year we got to 49.8 and our average heat each day is 42 per summer day
Australia is hot especially in summer when it nearly hit 50 degrees in parts of Australia and has gone past 50 degrees this summer🙄
Bloody oath
Sky in Australia is amazing! Thats sooo true. I've studied in Perth and I can never forget the sky there.
January Li Haha many years ago Perth was known to have the least amount of clouds in the sky!
Big thumbs up to you! I have been planning to move to Australia for a while now for studies and to explore the country but wasn’t sure because everyone talks about the racism there. But somehow your video made me feel a lot better and I hope I meet a lot more people like you when I shift there. Thankyou so much and you are a lovely person! Lots of love from india 💕💕
Springbrook national park is literally my favorite place in Australia. I spent two years there and I cannot forget the massive trees, the hike, the beautiful waterfall. Even the drive to Springbrook is so pretty! Love from Pakistan.
I'm wondering where you are staying? Many of the laws you're complaining about are different from state to state.
Idk where in Queensland you lived, the humidity is insane where I live. Our winter is 20 degrees. Lol.
Great sentiments expressed here. When you travel overseas you really do appreciate the beauty of our values, our culture and our land. People can be negative and that's their nature - it doesn't stop other people enjoying this land
It's your experience, cool, like hearing a very sincere and open sharing of experiences. The one thing I will state though, if you smile and share your Ora of positivity, you will get a "G'day" anywhere you go in Australia. If you walk around with a 'wt...(not to be vulgar) " look on your face or in your body language, then you will probably get the same back! That was the one and only thing that I feel you kinda missed in your assessment of why some people get an unsuspected "Cheers" and some just don't!
Cheers, really enjoyed the vid.
Hmmm a dry non sweaty heat hey...what... 98% humidity isn’t sweaty enough hey?
Rachela Cay yeah like a couple weeks ago it was more humid here in Perth than in Singapore, and quite a bit.
That_cat21 when you remember that day a few weeks ago when it was humid then you know that humidity is normally low where you live.
Currently in Perth it is 18° and 44% humidity. In Singapore it is 27°and 86% humidity. It's 12:21 In the morning In Singapore.
I see Perth is forecast to reach 73% this week but it's meant also meant to rain there too. Try living where below 80% is the exception.
You just spoke d about australians complaining about the heat then you complain about the sun? Lol
Yeah I noticed that too lol. It's not so much the heat from the sun but the... strength of it's rays, that really get me. Like it's kinda hot, yeah, but it's just so strong that I'll get a sunburn after 10 mins being in the sun.
CurrentlyHannah it's the "hole" (the thinning) in the ozone
I never complain about the heat 🤷🏻♀️, everyone around me complains though.
It’s the ozone layer. It’s weaker therefore we are at a greater risk of getting sunburnt or getting cancer. They really mean it when the say slip slop slap...
Correct mate ...
I have the same thoughts too.. love seeing the blue sky especially if you were close to the beaches you can see how beautiful it is but if the shops is open ti'll late yes it well make sense to me too.. hahaha and yes Aussie are warm and friendly they are polite . I love Living here in Australia cheers!
The sky! So true, seems higher and brighter. Hawaii is another place with beautiful skies ❤️
I'm an Asian Australian that grew up in Perth. I agree with everything you have to say.
When I was Year 8, I had to move to Japan, then to Taiwan.
It was then I realised that, holy shit. Australia is so beautiful. The air is so clean. The sky is so blue.
I am in Taiwan right now. The air is SO polluted, it smells like smoke and I find myself constantly breathing through my sleeves. It is also incredibly humid here, and unlike Australia, standing in the shade isn't any cooler. In Australia, standing under or tree (better yet, sit in the tree branches), and the temperature is at least a few degrees cooler.
Right now, I am so homesick. I want to return to Perth so bad... Honestly, even if Perth is expensive, I think it's more than worth it. Go to a school in Japan or Taiwan. It's TERRIBLE. I hate it, so, so, much. I feel sorry for anyone who grows up in an Asian country. It's just test, after test, after test. You come home late, you eat dinner, shower, more homework until late. Then you wake up super early, go to school, work some more, get more homework, come home late, stay up late, repeat. I feel like children growing up in Asian countries don't get much of a childhood.
After coming to Taiwan, I was honestly so shocked that nearly everyone could not swim, climb trees, make water bombs, and all those crazy things I remembered growing up doing. They also got so cold easily, got stomach-aches if they drank cold stuff in the morning (I really don't understand this, I drink cold milk every morning but nothing ever happens?)... Another really weird, stupid thing? In Australia, we call lunch time, well, lunch time. In Taiwan, it's "Nap-time". What the fuck? You have 20 minutes to eat, then you must return to your classrooms. They YELL at you if you are outside of your classroom. This was ABSOLUTELY BIZARRE to me when I came to Taiwan. In Australia, as soon as we finished lunch we'd all run out to the oval and play gang up chasey, hide and seek, climb trees, be idiots in general... I am so glad I grew up in Australia. It's the absolute best.
I have never experienced any racism in Australia, though. I've always been treated the same as my white Australian classmates, and that never changed throughout my childhood.
Seriously. Australian's have the chillest, most awesome lives. PERIOD.
Oh, for anyone who's wondering, I think Japan is boring as hell. Not as bad as Taiwan, but Japan isn't all that great.
Weird thing; for all you other Aussies out there, did you guys also have shaving cream fights? We'd always do that at the end of a school year.
Great comments Rhiannn. You understand the differences. Asian school kids are forced to have their heads in books until they are at least 20 and instantly forget 80% of what they just crammed for. They miss out on social interaction and casual dating in their teens, so after uni, don't really know how to relate to the opposite sex. Aussies slack off, play games, work on their cars and shag when they can. What they get from that is worldly experience and problem solving skills, so in the real world workplace they know how to do more stuff with greater confidence than their Asian counterparts.
I recently visited a new factory in Australia where metro trains are being built in a shared China-Australian venture. Half the staff are Australian engineers and half Chinese engineers, working together. All fully qualified. The Chinese staff only studied books and never used any tools. I watched the Australian engineers teaching the Chinese from the beginning how to use basic tools and apply knowledge in the real world. This includes basic safety skills. The Chinese engineering training did not include much about eye protection, hearing protection, working at heights, preventing back injury through bad lifting or not cutting themselves with sharp tools. When these guys eventually go back to China. they will do very well with their new work experience.
Yeah, I have just come back to Perth after being back and forward with work in Europe, and I cried. I full on CRIED the day I woke up and saw the sun and sky again. It is SO clean. It is SO relaxed. It took leaving to realise how actually beautiful it is here. It just suuuuucks so much how hard it is to work in the creative industries over here because the industry is so small and seems as a luxury, where as other countries understand its value in boosting the economy via tourism, and cultural exchange and endeavour. Perth- I did not think I could love you but I do! (Until 44 degree summers.)
If Taiwan is bad,, u hv never been to china...
Ppl r bad.. so nothing can b right...
Rhiannn :3 good on you, young lady. Our best immigrants have been Asian - industrious, hardworking and they assimilate , play cricket, footy etc.
I love it when I’m overseas and hear an Aussie accent from someone with Asian features. Makes me feel good and strong and proud.
Holy shit fucking write a whole book why don't ya?
You sure you’re from Australia ? 😂😂
Jessica Weis My thought exactly
Yep thinking the same thing
I find the humidity in parts of Asia like Singapore and Malaysia to be worse than far north Queensland. I imagine Tokyo would be unbearable in the summer months as it's the largest city in the world in population and size. It's a massive concrete jungle which generates extra heat. I can feel the extra heat in Melbourne on a hot summers night when coming back from a rural area which had a hotter day time temperature.
Australia obviously is a land of varying temperatures due to it's size. Not many from overseas are aware that it snows in parts of the country in the winter. The Australian alps receive more snowfall than Switzerland.
You hit the nail on the head with the alcohol aggression vs culture!
Also, I'm so glad that, even though you've lived overseas for years, you've kept your Australian accent!
yes, I love looking at the sky in Australia, it's so beautiful especially the sunset, who need photoshop for that beauty huh
Not that hot in Australia? Haha, I think you may have spent all your time in the south of the country. Spend a summer in Alice Springs where you could die of thirst on the way to the caravan park dunny :) Or spend 'the wet' up north, say anywhere on the west coast north of Capricorn. You will have an entirely new conception of heat.
lmao she didn't say it wasn't hot, she jut said other countries are also very hot
Have another listen, she is talking about southern Australia where summer temps aren't anywhere near as bad as they are further north. Once you go north, especially north of Capricorn temperatures are very high for around 9 months of the year. People who spend all their time in southern areas of Australia have no idea what real heat is.
Western Australia Now and Then
Yeah okay, I don’t think she specified that she was talking about down south anywhere, and I’m also pretty sure she is from Brisbane which still gets pretty damn hot, but maybe not as hot as further north?? but I think her main point is that other countries get that hot too, like Australia isn’t the only hot country, so I don’t understand why people are arguing that Australia is hot. It is hot, as she said, it’s just not the only hot country in the world. As she said, Singapore is very hot, constantly, as well as many countries in South America etc. I understand what your saying , Australia Is VERY hot. Especially up north. But other countries get just as hot. I think the big issue in Australia is the ozone layer and how it’s much easier to get severely burnt ...
No one lives there though
Western Australia Now and Then Amen too that. I agree completely.
Yeah summer in most of our major cities isn't actually that bad, usually, aside from the heatwaves. Queensland is more humid, but in Melbourne it's usually a dry heat, usually followed by a cool change.
Definitely a major link between alcohol and aggressive behaviour in Oz. Not that it doesn't exist elsewhere, of course, but it seems more typical of Anglo cultures, though I felt it was a bit less so in the US. Like in New Orleans you can drink on the street but the vibe was more just happy and cheerful than cities here, which often feel less safe than they are.
Oz definitely is expensive in general, can't deny that lol. And yeah, Aussies are generally pretty friendly. I've had many Europeans, especially from Germany, say how friendly Australia is. Ditto about customer service in Singapore, it's generally not the warmest (unlike the weather lol).
Less about the alcohol and more about the drugs that are rampant, Meth being the worst. It's also the fact that alcohol is usually mixed with a sugary drink, the sugar can send people troppo. The men in my family can't drink Bundy Rum, sends them Troppo anything else and they are just happy people. There is a link but it's a bit more complicated than a lot of people realise.
Melissa Turner What? Alcohol is definitely a larger problem then meth. Compared to the drunk violence, drugs is a minority.
Try Adelaide's summer. Hot as hell !!
I agree with everything you said. Especially about the sky! For me it’s mostly about the clouds. And the sunsets can be so dramatic.
I’ve liked and subscribed.
Temperature wise at least this is a very limited view of Australia, a lot of our country has a daily average of over 25 for most of the year, with 35 + being common for 6months of the year, whilst 40+ days are not rare. I had multiple days this summer where the temperature hit 46+, you can feel yourself cooking. Where im originally from id wear a jumper at 25 since thats cold for me xD
Just because some places in australia is in the 30's in summer. Doesnt mean other places arent hot. Inland, mostly high 30's, to high 40's. Some places in QLD had atleast over 30 days in the high 40's. I'm talking about 45-50c. -- Im from sydney, and yeah. it's like 30's. but trust me. places in australia gets VERY hot. and if you are anywhere near the coast, its not that hot.
and dont forget the humidity.
Hi Hannah. Pedro here from Jump On The Family Wagon. Loved your video. We're flying to Australia from London, this Sunday and I am so excited as it is my first time in Australia. All family is flying over( myself, Simone and Leo) I've just loved your video. You're funny and so charismatic and your mindset to unchangeable world is inspiring. I'll be checking all your videos on your channel. I'm hopping Australia is just the best place in the whole world and that we can have the best time ever. I love videography and photography and we're starting our CZcams channel mainly for Leo as a Diary and because we have lots of fun making videos and taking photos. I came across this video and yourself just now and before flying to Australia and I'll try to make a video everyday about our adventures and simple daily things. You're inspiring and to be honest I love Australian people, you're always so friendly and amazing. Thanks for your video and for inspiring "Us". We're flying to Brisbane but we'll be driving around as Simone wants to show me the places she was going to when she was a child and as a teenager... how exciting is that... good luck for you and once again thanks for your video and your insight... best wishes... 😍😍👍👍👍
@CurrentlyHannah Great Video and Spot on with ALL points !!! When you travel out of Australia (and not just to that bogan haven called Bali wearing a bintang singlet and drinking unknown alcohol out of a plastic bag), you realised there is a whole wide world out there and we are not the be all and end all.
Leaving Australia allows you to appreciate the good that we have here and where we can grow and improve as a culture.
Your comment about the Australian sky is so true! Good observation! Just visited from Singapore :)
You did a Bankstown accent
Na Penrith hey..
I was gonna say Inner West Sydney!!
Wesley you from bankstown cause i know a ton of bankstown kids
Wesley its not a bankstown accent, its a bankstown attitude, most the people in my school talk like that
Deffinately western suburbs
I live in a regional part of Australia and on a lot of the days in summer it gets to like 40 or 45? I think like at least two or three times a year it gets to 50?
I wasn’t trying to be rude or anything but I was just saying a fact and I obviously meant nothing by it.
I love Springbrook so much! I’m on the Goldcoast and have been to Springbrook heaps of times. I do agree with some of your points like it is pretty expensive but I love it here still
I don’t know you get so many dislikes for this video...I live in Brisbane and I totally resonate with a lot of things you said! And I have to agree that Australian sky is the BEST!!!!!
You completely contradict yourself saying Australians are so friendly after you talked about alcohol not being the cause of violence 🤔
I'm pretty sure she only meant that alcohol isn't capable of making you do things you never thought about doing before. It only heightens parts of your personality. So if you get annoyed/angry easily, even if you're usually able to hide it, alcohol might just aggravate you further leading to you getting physical.
In general Australians are a friendly bunch (can be racist tho), we just get rowdy with alcohol.
Spent 4 years in Sydney and about a year between Perth and Brisbane . I do agree with you with regards to the different treatment/experience between what you(white/local) and Yosshi(Foreign/Asian) has.
I do love and miss the years I spent down under but what I could never understand and accept was that I could be just walking down the street minding my own business and just as I walk past a bogan(pardon me) , he/ she would say something derogatory or even borderline abusive . Never mind the Friday nights where drunks would take the opportunity to openly tell me to go back to where I came from. I know it’s the alcohol talking but unfortunately it also brings out true inner emotions if I may say.
What city do you think you experienced racism the least?
Unfortunately, you get the same kind of treatment as soon as you open your mouth if you have even the slightest hint of a foreign accent, regardless of your skin color. :/
caveman Versace well first and foremost I would have a debate with you on this but based on your reply which is laced with profanities , personal insults and blanket stereotyping, I won’t bring myself down to your level. You have already made up your mind and your reply obviously isn’t one of discussion but more of an opportunity for you to take out your personal anger on one target, me.
So have a great disgusting day as you so well deserved.
caveman Versace Do you know the numbers for the next powerball too? At least that could be passed off as rocket science .
Jim Goh it’s just racists don’t let it get u down
Australia is a beautiful country, wonderful weather, awesome wildlife, yummy food and friendly people.
I’m so glad someone finally said something about the heat here in Australia. I live in Adelaide and it’s over 25 degrees for maybe the equivalent on 2 months a year? I know it’s hot a lot more in the top end.
????? Shops close at 5? Ok this girl is NOT from Melbourne. Can’t sell shots after a certain time? Again not from Melbourne.
paularinah in NSW we have lock out laws particularly in places like kings cross to tackle violence in those areas
She's not from Sydney either
Shops here will close around 6 - 7 and 9pm on Thursdays
the curfue thing... though is in force in the city while clubbing, but i haven't gone clubbing for years , i've only heard about it , i know it does exist but the 5pm thing for shops... fuck no
so she's either S.A. QLD. WA, she can't be in the Territory because she says it's not hot where she is
or she could be TAZZY
my guess.. QLD
...Def not from WA or she wouldn't be suggesting that the summer/sun ain't that big of a deal.
David jones close at 5
paularinah p Melbourne is soon to be rightfully isolated from the rest of the country, "we shall build a WALL"
Number 9:
Fly season is abnormal overseas, unlike in Australia where people breathe in flies as often as we breathe in air.
Hahaha yeah in some areas I could definitely see that as being true! Luckily not too much in Brisbane :)
at least in Australia bugs don't bite.here in Canada almost all bugs bite you
If you think flies are bad, go anywhere there are cattle and you will find out how much worse it could be
I love listening to you. Your accent is really nice to hear. Also, your sunny personality.
This is sweet. My first is trip about a million years ago led me to a similar conclusion about Australian friendliness.
I don't know what part of Australia you're from but the shops don't ALL close at 5pm, some are open 24/7 and the supermarkets can be open until midnight
WHAT? THERES A SHOP THAT ISNT FAST FOOD 24/7? WHERE?
Dylan O'Brien Kmart !!
@@maddygates2985 I'm sorry I don't know what part of Australia you are from but Kmart definitely not 24/7
legit Australians never stop complaining about the heat (especially qld) and it's so annoying but it is so fucking humid
Luke Alexander mate thats we in nsw call em queenslanders
Have you been to Singapore?
You literally feel a blast of humidity and suffocation the moment you step out of the plane. I'm not kidding. I feel sweaty immediately.
You hit the nail on the head ! I agree & have had the same. I've lived in Europe since 1995 and it was only after many years that I started appreciating Aust. :-) The sky, the sun (yes burns like hell compared to many countries). I'm now 'a tourist' in my own country when i visit (I get asked where I am from, even). Most noticeable difference the last 3yrs is prices have skyrocketed & Australian Made is almost non-existent (it was on the rise when I left). Prev. good, cheap coffee (with cinnamon toast for brekkie of course) in food halls or esp. cafes- now mostly costs the same as Europe :-(
I like how balanced your point of view is. I've lived in QLD before and although I met some lovely people I also experienced how negative the culture can be. All countries/cultures have negative and positive attributes but the minute you point out the negative people will get upset. This is because the place that we call home becomes part of our identity.
I’ve been in Australia for 3 years and you’re right it is beautiful here. I’m in Queensland too and I’ve seen so many thing I never thought I would being from Canada. Hannah can you please let me know what kind of drone you have, those shots are sick
All the info is in the bio :) I had the DJI Spark.
CurrentlyHannah thank you, hope Japan treats you well
Yip. Here in NZ (at least my city) all the shops and banks shut at 5pm. Most of us work from 6 till 6. You have to take a day off work to go to the bank. It's ridiculous.
Where’s this?
Yep you nailed it on the head.. as a city Brisbane doesn't have much going on. However if you are willing to drive, you get to see springbrook (love that place), tamborine, Montville / maleny, surfers paradise, toowoomba, kenilworth, all the theme parks, bald rock, stanthorpe. Absolutely the best place for explorers to go to. Natural beauty in every direction.
Totally agree with you on the heat. It does get hot here (in Brisbane) in summer but the weather is just perfect for 6 months (spring and autumn). I am from Mumbai and the summers there can be very sweaty and sticky. Haven’t felt that kind of humidity here and used to wonder why people complain about it all the time. Love the clean air and beaches. Love living here.
I think Melbourne is 👌
Sherina C dont even get me started on my adoration of Melbourne omg
my city 💘🤩
Before you talk Australia this Australia that you should check out Melbourne.
Sherina C Melbourne weather is a girl on her period
hahaha that's true, but at least the lockout law didn't stick!
my summer in aus are 38c + days to 46, not sure where in aus you are
Can’t wait to visit here this holiday season
Great video and naturally funny! Ive lived over seas since 2005 its now 2018.. Ive been home in the first few years for only about a month at a time, on average like you ..but now Ive only been home once in the last 8 yrs!! So watching your video made me remember a lot things liek reverse culture shock and many things you mentioned! Ive lived in many countries in our world and travelled to only 43 countries but still lots more to see.. I think its hard going home due to many reasons from its now very expensive in Australia but the people are friendly as!! we have great beaches but only speak one language in the streets in general but we are blessed and form such an amazing country which I have been lucky to see 3/4 of Australia. Thanks for doing this review of our home as I head back later this year. Might see you in Japan as we tour there too! message me if you want. K
I'm kinda sad that Singapore's culture of friendliness is close to zero( im saying for the majority) *feels bad*.When i went to Seattle,US i was so shocked to see passer-by saying 'good morning' or whatsoever...maybe its just a culture of what the westerners do when they see others in public.I felt so loved when i'm having this SHORT conversations with random strangers(good ones).Now, i'm back in Singapore and all i got from the public are stares(thats what we typically do) but im used to it so its okay!It was fun experiencing what its like to be in the Western culture of friendliness(i think?). Anyways, awesome video!
I'm Singaporean, I agree Singaporeans are not the friendliest of people.
I lived in Italy(my husband is from Rome) for 3 years and that’s a country that had a reputation for people being friendly, but it really isn’t like that at all unless it’s your own community where you know people. When my husband came to the US the first time, particularly California where we live, he was shocked how friendly people were. And he would get excited when random people at a gas station had conversations with him. I will never understand why people say Americans aren’t friendly. I’ve traveled to many countries and feel like the kindest/friendliest/most welcoming people are Americans. Canada is equally as friendly as well.
sara H Broad statement. It depends where in America you go. Go for a stroll in Compton or skid row or downtown Chicago/Boston/Detroit. Im betting friendliness is going to be pretty non existent.
Do you go up to strangers and say good morning? If you don't then you are part of the problem that you are complaining about. Maybe it's just on Singapore's culture to go up to people and start talking to them. Maybe they see it as an invasion of personal space.
Robert Turnip ooh yeah we definitely see it as a 'personal space' thing I think. There's so many people in our tiny country, and almost half are foreigners so there's an almost 50% chance the person you're seeing next to you is a foreign worker, foreign student, a permanent resident or a tourist.
Anyway, even in the urban areas (where you get fewer tourists and more locals/PRs), you're sure to pass at least one person by even in the middle of the night as you're walking home. Can you imagine making small talk or saying 'hi' to everyone you meet? The whole country would end up with noise pollution more from people than from traffic 😂 so yeah... I guess that's why we're not very into greeting random strangers.
And also personal space. And also there was a time when staring was a sure way to initiate fights or intimidation, so people kind of avoid gazes now if possible. (I have a resting bitch face, I just catch people's gaze once and they turn away usually quickly. Only in Singapore. In other countries people just stare back)
i love oz but u r very right about the culture not the alcohol
I used to study in Sydney a few years ago, and I agree with most of opinions in the video. Especially the part that someone you dont know say “how's it going” in the street and the crisp blue sky there. Totally good memories.
In Southern California we get a few days every August and September when it reaches 47 celsius.
I'm a QLDer that lived a long time in Hong Kong, they have the sticky and hot humid Summers (pre monsoonal) and it sucks, but it's nothing like Cairns or anywhere in QLD or the top end of the NT and WA. I think you've seen bugger all of Australia Hannah.
Townsville sits at 33 degrees and is usually 90% Humidity. And if you didn't know THAT IS IN AUSTRALIA!!!!
Good one.
Have you been to Bali? I think north Queenslanders who think it's hot here would get the shock of their lives over there. I know I did.
Everyone in townsville has been to Bali
It is actually the only reason they can call the airport "townsville international" because it only goes to Bali
Townsville no longer goes to bali, you have to go to cairns now 😊
That's not that hot.
The skyyyyyy in Australia! That really surprised me too 🤩
This has made me feel better, I'm moving to Australia in just under 3 weeks on my own I had some people I've been trying to contact for jobs be a little rude and I'm still not sure where I'm staying, but hearing you talk about all the lovley places in Aus makes me so excited to go, & id love to live in Perth long term one day☺️💜
You’re going to love Australia! Truly a beautiful country!!
Move to port Pirie in straya it's only 45 degrees everyday in summer and don't wear grey HAHA
why would someone sleep with so many lights near their head?
Got to 57 degrees in my town this year, dont know where you live but yeah assuming your an urbanite, the rest of us work and live in some wild conditions, the only time anywhere in the world ive felt so hot was in Siem Reap Cambodia where it was 40+ and very humid for over a week although the sun didnt burn anywhere near what it does in Australia.
After living in Japan, China and Indonesia... I can totally relate to EVERY SINGLE POINT. This feels like my conversations to my family to explain the differences!!
3:18 "Non Sweaty" > Cries in having to use 4 different deodorants so I don't smell like a dumptruck.
As an Australian from Sydney, living in Japan for 8 years, I can pretty much agree and vouch for most of the things you say in this video!
I'm from Brisbane and have spent some time in Japan. I would agree with pretty much everything you said. Most of these are things I've noticed myself. Especially the drinking culture. It's so different.
You’re so right about our sky. It’s pretty much the thing that always strikes when I come back to Australia. The sky is SOOO blue.
How long have you’ve been in Australia? And where are you?
Yeah I used to hate living in Aus - when I was an edgy weaboo teenager lol - but now I'm proud AF living here!
I'm in Melbourne in Mentone and I'm loving it. Great country... I will just be here for 2 months though. I even went to Sydney and stayed for 4 days.
