My name is Albeli Ritu and I love telling stories. When I was a little girl all I wanted was to do something creative and different. I didn't have the courage to do it for the last 27 years but finally, I have decided to be the hero of my own story. I came to the US in 2018 December and from 2019 I am sharing my journey as a KZbinr in America. I make travel and lifestyle videos in Hindi from America. I recently moved to London, UK and I am very excited to share my experiences and the whole journey with you. If you like this video don’t forget to subscribe.

What do you think about living in London?? Let me know if you disagree with anything or if I missed any point. Dhanywaad ❤

[@vidhishah1939]

Perfect one ! Would like a Pro that in London we get almost all types of food found in the world. 😅

[@ibrahim.allahwala]

We're Living near to canary wharf, it's a financial hub for a finance enthusiast like me.

[@ssharma4528]

I think one point u missed to highlight is the recent hike in electricity cost ..it's a killer for everyone ...I Also live in London and a victim of this:)

[@PrashantKumar-ue5rp]

London is the best place for walking

[@puneetyadav9112]

wow

[@garygeorge-wi7co]

When you reach sixty, all your medicines are free, your train and bus travel are free, and when you reach sixty seven, you also get pension. Everybody gets pension here unlike in India where only government servants get pension. And the hospitals here are like five star hotels where you get the best treatment and that is also absolutely free. Need I say more?

[@Bellissimo86]

Free private hospitals?

[@shashankmalwa4393]

Bhudape tak aadmi jiyega hi kaise ... Jab 40-50% tax jawani mai hi katega salary pe 😂😂😂

[@gauravtaneja3786]

Loved the vlog... Pro : Free schooling for children and as it's UK, education is provided in English unlike European schools

[@AlbeliRitu]

Thanks for adding this

[@garygeorge-wi7co]

UK is best for Indians unlike other European countries. You do every religious and cultural celebration here with all the flavour and enthusiasm. And do not forget free healthcare.

[@priyankakothari9491]

Don't feel like foreign country. So many Indians n Pakistanis bangladeshi people.. crowded in fact.

[@jankipotdar9583]

Ritu nice info vlog. I sont know why bt I like Prashant 's personality!!! Too humble, too knowledgeable n upto d point person!❤️bless u guys

[@fantasticfirce1140]

India Me ghabrahat friendly log hai kuch bhi matlab ??

[@mayanksaini8735]

Its a request, please can you make a video on comparing usa and uk, like just about working in usa vs uk

[@diujay]

Uk bad health care system Bad weather Everything is very costly now No quality life

[@garygeorge-wi7co]

Uk bad health care system ... Not as good as I would wish, but it is thousand times better than India. Bad weather.... Agree but the summer months from June till September, are lovely. Everything is very costly now..... A cleaner here would earn one thousand rupees per hour and the same cleaner will earn hundred rupees an hour in India. Now an egg costs six rupees in India and here in UK, it costs fifteen rupees. UK is still cheaper to live compared to India when you consider the income. No quality life..... As if only in India we have all the quality.

[@nzk1996]

Why do you stay in London if you always have so many negative points about it. You husband is always so positive

[@garygeorge-wi7co]

Some people are plain hypocrites.

[@indianskingdomatengland4807]

One more point. People here consider all jobs same. They dont look down upon you depending on your job, bank balance, cloths etc. Equal respect for all jobs. They dont talk rude to "small" people. My landlords owns multiple houses, drives posh red AUDI but comes and fixes house issues of bathroom or roof or kitchen or garden himself. Doesnt feel ashmed of doing small job at all. Whether you are working at mall or doing plumbing or electric or garbage collection or any other small work, nobody makes you feel inferior. They respect all jobs equally. Nobody pulls the rank stating "तू जानता नहीं मैं कौन हूँ" :)

[@garygeorge-wi7co]

One of my teacher friend once told me that he never had any Indian female student who wanted to be nurse. Indians love to be treated by a skilled nurse when they are ill but they hate their daughter to be one of them. Indians are very very judgemental people.

[@garygeorge-wi7co]

I know an English lady professor whose son is a carpenter. These people do not care. A job is a job.

[@pallavinikam6601]

Do you prefer London over US? I am an Indian who lived in Canada and US for 15 years and looking to move to London next year. Want to hear your genuine thoughts. FYI (I am a city person not a suburbian thats why the move)

[@ranihansda5732]

We have moved to London recently and still feel lonely

[@solonypattanaik]

True 😢

[@garygeorge-wi7co]

Language could be a problem for some, but if you speak moderate English, talk to your neighbours. Go to the nearest public library. And keep an eye on the website of the Indian organisations here such as Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan, Nehru centre and many others.

[@shikharawat5568]

Correction: In Dubai (other gulf countries too) there is no income tax but only 5% municipal tax and vat.

[@garygeorge-wi7co]

Are you mad? How can you compare UK with Dubai? Here you become a cleaner and your minimum salary is more than thousand rupees per hour. You earn more, you pay more tax. And after a certain number of years, you become citizen here. You cannot get citizenship in Dubai even after thirty years. People who cannot come to the west, end up in Arab countries.

[@jkjolly]

Both of you have put a lot of hard work in preparing this vlog. Very informative and entertaining. Do prepare a vlog comparing Salaries for similar jobs India and UK, expenses and Savings. And also scope of Investment

[@garygeorge-wi7co]

With one fifth of the salary, you will be better off in India than in UK. Tax is very high in UK and you pay flat 20 percent VAT on everything you buy. You cannot afford a maid unless you are rich. A maid will cost you one thousand Indian rupees per hour minimum. Hence middle class people cannot afford one. Someone will come to cut your grass and you pay at least fifteen hundred rupees per hour. That is why most people do all the house work themselves as much as they can.

[@bhaveshsisodiya4915]

kya yrr gyan pelte rehte ho kuch naya kro

[@yogeshkhanderia5291]

Nice Video. I had been UK before 12 years. I have visited London, Birmingham, Leicester. I was living in Tamworth( Staffordshire), Crawley(West Sussex). I was working in Crawley and Horley.

[@mantripragadasridhar6011]

In one of the comments, i read that hospitals r lik 5 star hotels n treatment is abs free...but in the video she was saying treatment is very expensive....which of the statements is true???

[@anuragtiwari5929]

London india ke paise hi bna h😂

[@madhubhatia951]

Very informative blog. We visited our Son in London a few months back, and our views are same on most points. One point of concern is that if a visitor on tourist visa falls ill or is injured, the NHS does not cover it, and the medical expenses, doctors fee is exorbitant. Medical Insurance does not cover much, and is only for namesake. Any how congratulations for the blog.

[@garygeorge-wi7co]

Nowadays all visitors has to buy NHS insurance and every international student must get that also.

[@jayantajithazarika2619]

Dear Ritu , Thank you very much for your nice and fàntastic video . Please show us SOHO of London . We are eagerly waiting for your vlog on SOHO . Please make and upload it soon . Love 💕 , Jayantàda , 4/12/2022

[@bibekghatak5860]

Then how it is beneficial ?? If it takes 1 month to get consultation then it is of no purpose : the patient will die if the health condition is serious .

[@garygeorge-wi7co]

For emergencies, you can walk into a hospital and you will be looked after.

[@beezlebub9]

12:06 I agree. I find people talking endlessly and asking intrusive questions rude.

[@ananyabhave2276]

U means Uk Bangalore जैसा है . Weather wise Bangalore Uk जैसा ही लग रहा है .

[@abhilashat8046]

Compare LONDON with USA

[@cshah2009]

When are u guys returning back to New York/New Jersey?

[@TheFlowerpot26]

I was so occupied that I have missed couple of your vlogs!!! Oh! Maahn! YOUR VLOG is always so refreshing!! This is so informative!

[@yogeshkhanderia5291]

[@anitamahajan1038]

U made me worried...to take a step out for London... with my family..where my husband who is the only person who is working

[@garygeorge-wi7co]

Let your husband come first alone. You can follow after a year.

[@Jaya-xy5hb]

Ritu enjoying your vlog Keep it up💐 Free schools and medical care You can go private schools There is private medical Care if needed🙏

[@ramsey633]

Too many people and too much crime

[@santoshd.4008]

Hello Ritu, loved watching this vlog from my Air Bnb room in Paddington :-) While I agree with all the pros and cons, I’ve a different take on treatment at shops. In Southall I feel the shopkeepers are impatient. If you spend more than 5 mins without buying they get anxious and don’t hesitate to tell that we are wasting their time making the shopping experience awkward. Keep up the good work.

[@jagguBhumiyal86-hs4iy]

How to receive London work permit Please tell me Iam very interested for London please this is my humble request of you i want good way and easy

[@muktarajhans8894]

Nice information

[@asifhafeez7766]

Uk is not worth living n also london

[@RahulDas-ro6ml]

Seems like the cons outweigh the pros. But great video, thanks for sharing.

[@garygeorge-wi7co]

It is the other way round. There are far more advantages than disadvantages.

[@garygeorge-wi7co]

With so many advantages here, there are some disadvantages also. Bringing up children in the western society can be a nightmare for some people. You cannot hit a child under any circumstances. If the child tells his teacher, the police will knock at your door.

[@rinku5175]

😂❤saara video accha hain but yaar USA mein kaise gye ho aap iske liye hame kya karna padega yaar mera bhi bahut mann kar raha hain USA mein mazaa kare ❤😊 waha ki ladkiya bahut mast hoti hain yaar 😢ritu ji bahut costly hain USA but aana hain yar

[@vedprakashmaurya]

Better life and pay in india

[@xxprashant]

Can you please also make video on UK vs India

[@Kohiiiinur]

Hi Ritu - I loved watching your video as its very informative. I have question, if you can help, is it the right time to move to UK if receive any job offer?

[@AlbeliRitu]

Depends a lot on offer actually

[@Mr.Isha.kumari]

Hlo mam hru....my son is (25) trying to come in u.k or London...on study ( masters)as grafic design, currently doing job in grafic design in Chandigarh,pb ......so pls suggest is it the true decision... like all expenses & load instalments etc

[@garygeorge-wi7co]

One year course will cost him between fifteen and twenty lakhs, depending on the university he chooses. He will be allowed to do part time work for twenty hours every week where he will earn at least eight hundred pounds a month. Depending on his taste and his habits, assuming he is a nice young man, he can manage very well with eight hundred pounds in a shared room, no smoking or drinking, and no girlfriends. At the end of this course, he will get two years PSW visa where he will be allowed to work in UK, and if his employer likes him, he can get work permit.

[@geetabatra8124]

India se paas hai. You can travel to india easily as compared to USA.

[@kumaranish8004]

The public transport is good when it works but there are so many strikes. I don’t think it beats flexibility of your own car however the roads here are so small and gas is expensive as well .

[@ayushdeo7087]
