13 biggest culture shocks in Australia- African perspective

Starting with gratitude, moving to Australia has been a beautiful and transformative experience, marking one of the best decisions in my life. Exploring different countries is always a thrill, particularly when it comes to uncovering diverse cultural norms. Some of these differences can be quite surprising, especially when compared to the familiar customs of your own culture. In this video, we explore cultural shocks, often adopting a humorous perspective. As someone originating from sub-Saharan Africa, where cultural norms are predominantly conservative, the contrasts can be particularly striking. If you are planning to visit Australia or are already here, have you experienced these cultural shocks in your own background, or do these seem like everyday occurrences to you?

Your channel is becoming a favourite hangout. If I hear! My daughters bring boyfriends to sleep over, ah!!! No telling what my repressed naija craze will do. Yes, I have had a group of people descend on me at Glebe market, taking pictures from all angles without my consent. I have a neighbour who must have something against shoes it's an anomaly whenever I see him with shoes on. Great video and welldone to you both.
