I continue to explore Australia, and my next destination is Brisbane, Queensland!
Brisbane is the third most populous city in the country. Most people in Australia are immigrants or first or second-generation immigrants. People move here because of the nice climate on most of the East Coast, lifestyle, quality of life, and excellent education system. So, I will visit the University of Queensland with my couchsurfing host who moved here for studying.

01:07 Couchsurfing again. (with latino vibes this time)

[@minime7375]

@Alex Alex We lived in both countries and with the cultural barriers you have to be in this position to understand that aspect. It’s the small, everyday things that are different. And you feel that mostly while interacting with each others’ families and friends mostly, different customs and mentalities. On top of that, the language barrier since my language is very hard to learn. edit-to give you an example or two of cultural differences, Aussies have a thing for small talk that is unusual for us. When I go to a busy supermarket I’m not used to the cashier talking to me about the weather or asking me about my weekend plans😳 To me, it’s paralyzing, I don’t know what to say tbh to “nice weather we’re having”… Or say for example it’s my birthday, if I invite some people to a restaurant, for me it means I’m paying, right? And people just bring me some bday presents. Not in Australia it seems, there the guests pay for themselves and for the person whose bday it is. To me, that’s baffling, I mean “inviting” someone somewhere means you’re providing the meal. When you go out on a date, we are less formal, a date can mean a walk, having a coffee, a casual thing, in Australia is normally dinner, a more formal setting. And no, it’s not really my obligation to “fix” things, there’s nothing to fix, there are two in a marriage and both have to compromise on some things or adapt in an inter-ethnic marriage. We did but that doesn’t mean that it’s easy to get over these cultural differences.

[@lolitavine9616]

​@@minime7375It's not just about cultural differences, but also about your own character. There are Slavs who don't mind chatting with the saleswoman about the weather. For example, my mother is Russian, she is a sociable extrovert and it is not difficult for her to exchange a few words with a neighbor, cashier, postman or whoever. She will be only too happy to make a new acquaintance. Your introversion complicates things, so it seems to you that these are blatant cultural differences, but this is not quite true.

[@jackhui2812]

I can't believe they de- monetize your channel but they put many commercials in your video anyway... Figures they would capitalize on your work and not pay you for it! I'm happy you can and will keep making vids, love watching the places you go!

[@fatalmokrane]

Marx couldn't predict Owners of means of diffusion or Owners of means of Digital distribution (like app store, or Steam, or Google play store), but it's the same logic here. Capitalism is going to invent new things like that in the future...with AI, and the "meTaveRSe" I mean steam and apple store takes 30% of games sales just because they are the dominant markets. But do they deserve 30 fuc**ing percent of the revenue on a game or an app ?

Your speech is so understandable for me. I learn English with your video. You don't use too difficult words and i can understand you. Привет с Казахстана

[@ElifromRussia]

Привет 👋🏻

[@jackieow]

@@ElifromRussia Your English/American accent is very understandable and usually better than 99% free from errors as to content as well. Your Spanish accent pronunciation is better (more like a native speaker) than your already accomplished English, perhaps because of prior exposure to Italian. The only word mistake (sort of) I recall from this video is that kangaroos are "muscular" and not "musculous" since "musculous" is a word that doesn't exist in common usage. Technically, the word "musculous" exists in the dictionary, but isn't used in everyday English. This is a very picky detail that a foreign speaker would not be expected to know anyway. Kind of like the word Щелкунчик means Nutcracker (as in the ballet, only) but Щелкунчик would not be used for an everyday nutcracker that someone would use in their house. Or kind of like you could call a person an Amerikanski but more correct would be Amerikanetz. Or people used to call one another tovarisch all the time but today it would be obsolete. So if you say "musculous" people will understand but kind of laugh, and people expect for that usage to hear "muscular." For instance, the computer that screens youtube text right here right now puts red squiggles under "musculous" since the youtube computer is programmed to not have "musculous" in its own vocabulary, so even the youtube computer thinks this word doesn't exist.

Welcome to Brisbane

[@vincentlavallee2779]

My wife and I have also been to Australia. We took a cruise from New Zealand to Australia in 2006 (17 years ago!). We saw our first kangaroos in Hobart, Tasmania. The first thing we did there was to go an animal park, where the kangaroos were free and wandered about on their own. We learned how to pet them (on the neck, under the head), and fed them as well. We saw koalas, wombats, and the Tasmanian Devil! Up until this visit, my wife thought that the Tasmanian Devil was just a made up cartoon, since it was in a rather popular cartoon on TV back when she grew up.Then we stopped at Melbourne, and finally at Sydney, from which we flew back home, a 14 hour flight! It is so nice to see you in Australia, and with their unique animals. You are such a delight to see and hear! Keep up your videos. Also, I watch another Russian who has left Russia, Konstantin. His main thrust online is addressing the Russian invasion of Ukraine. He also had his channel demonitized, but after a while, he got it back. I do not knwo what he did to get it back, but it certainly sounds like due to the Russian war with Ukraine, thee is quite some backlash. And in your case, you do not discuss this aspect of Russia at all, so I am wondering why You Tube would do anything to you. But keep in mind, just like Konstantin, there is probably a way to get your channel monitized again. My best to you!
