Living in India vs Living in Australia

[@mattmackane]

Great video! I was in Rishikesh from Nov to Feb 2024 and loved it! I am an Aussie based in Thailand but I love India. I'll be in Mumbai for the Mumbai Film Festival from mid-October. I'll be there for a month or two. Cheers!

[@theaussiebhai]

Thanks mate! Oh, awesome. How is Thailand? I've heard great things. I love India, living there is amazing, lived a total of 1.5 years so far across 2019 and 2024.

I am Indian lived in Melbourne earned my PhD and moved back to India. Both countries are great ❤

[@well_art]

As an indian I really like how honest you are in the entire video without being disrespectful. I think India is changing and in maybe a few decades hopefully it would much more urbanised and modern. However I think delhi ncr is not the correct representation of india there are many good areas in Himalyan states like ladakh, himachal pradesh, uttarakhand and in south india kerala is very peaceful. Visit cities like shimla , rishikesh ,gangtok , kochi these coties have a peacful vibe.

[@theaussiebhai]

thanks for the nice words made, I really try to make a point to be as honest as possible, but keep it real and just factually based on my experience. I'm glad that's coming across in the right way! And you're right, Delhi NCR doesn't represent all of India, but again, it's just where I spend most of my time. I've travelled all over India for small trips, including Ladakh, Missouri and other beautiful natural locations, so I definitely agree with what you're saying!

[@theaussiebhai]

which city do you think has the best vibe for tourists coming to India?

[@well_art]

@@theaussiebhai I think it depends on what you like. Most indians travel to more relaxed states like himalyan states because Indo-gangetic plains are very chaotic and polluted. I think the best area in india is sikkim specially the northern area its almost like heaven. And this state has a higher hdi as well. Whereas if you like tropical state then goa and kerala are good. I think if someone just want to experience a little bit of india without much trouble then these states I think are good options.

Finally, someone who I see is making unbiased review of India, that doesn't include parts of old Delhi and Varanasi only, but covers other places as well that are less polluted.

[@theaussiebhai]

@theseeker7938 I have been to Old Delhi and Varanasi... of course, it is what it is, an experience. But also, many tourists come to India just to experience that, so only have that experience. I'm living here, so I see the other side of India too. Where in India are you from?

exactly,others don't understand like americans going through recession still enjoying iphones as countries like india produces it for them at low cost causing pollution.these labours often live all over the county.so need cheap transport food like general ticket or dhaba food etc.USA dumps their thrash in africa while we often recycle plastic to polyfabric which they were later proudly

[@Bridge_2702]

Thank goodness this guy isn't exploiting the foreigner validation problem of Indian audience and describing fake nice experiences. He's keeping it real, but without being arrogant about it. That's good. He should gain more subscribers, it would be more interesting to see his journey when he travels to various parts of India and how he changes as a person, while KEEPING IT ALL HONEST AND REAL. No sugar coating to gain views. The current internet sentiment on India is either extremely anti where it's all racist stuff or it's extremely fake lovey-dovey to gain views where foreigners act as if nothing is wrong with the country. We need more foreigners like this guy who don't engage in either of those 2 scenarios. Nice video. Also, move to Chandigarh if you wanna escape the gas chamber called Delhi NCR. Quality of life is much better over there.

[@paulevans7546]

Nicely done, a very honest and interesting review. I have visited India (from Australia) on three occasions and can’t wait to return for the next visit. A most amazing country. Looking forward to your next video.

[@theaussiebhai]

Thanks Paul!

[@matgranger5061]

You should have chosen places like Kerala, Goa, Puducherry, Dharamshala to live in India as the air quality is good, standard of cleanliness is much better, population density is low. Delhi is the worst possible location to stay in India especially for a foreigner.

[@CastorRabbit]

Delhi is the middle of the pack. Gurugram, Chennai, Vapi Mumbai, Noida, Kanpur, Ludhiana, Varanasi... actually Dehli is one of the better cities. Most of India is even worse.

[@exchangeyo]

Kerala, Goa and Puducherry is 80% dirty,

[@theaussiebhai]

@matgranger5061 true, but I worked in Gurgaon in 2019 for 1 year... so I know my way around, and now there I'm here to build my Aussie Bhai brand, I wanted to be somewhere I knew well, you know?

[@theaussiebhai]

@exchangeyo hahah I've been to Goa and Pondicherry, some areas are quite nice!

*Here is one easy way to explain Delhi/ India to an Australian ---* In Australia there are *heavens* of _Dover Height or Palm beach in Sydney_ & the *hell holes* or _Aboriginal reserve_ in Northern Australia BUT they are far off from each other ... In *India/ Delhi - they are right next to each other*

You should get out of NCR and come to Chandigarh, as I have visited Perth / Sydney. And all three cities look so similar to me in terms of hygiene, cleanliness, more civilized people. Even there will be roads where you will feel you are in Australia because of the same roads, trees and cycle lanes. Not every city in India is bad as the foreigners portray it after visiting Delhi. It's like I visited Paris and I can say shit things about France, Cheers!

Of illegal constructions and illegal street encroachments, infact around 5 million people in Delhi livein unauthorised colonies and there r around 2000 unauthorised colonies in Delhi, water is not potable, around 30 percent of the veggies r grown with sewerage water supply, milk is adultrated with starch and uria , foot paths r encroached by shop owners and no action is taken on them cos they grease the palms of the municipal officers 😢...If I ever have sufficient money , I will leave this country asap to have a better future for me and for my family, u Aussies r living in heaven, lucky people.

Not family comes to live with their son and daughter in law but son and daughter-in-law lives with the family because they need our help, love, sence of duty in old age. And it's easy to live with the family because when you have sons and daughters they will be taken care by grand father and grand mother at that time you can only foucs on your work or job etc...
