You should definitely convince your beautiful family to move to Australia, and then become "Eli from Australia" on RUclips. You could still travel the world and enjoy other seasons (it's just the initial plane flight would sometimes be a long one).
I moved from the US to Perth, Australia, 50 years ago, and I am still here, and now a citizen. It’s a great country, and I am happy you have really enjoyed it here. Come back!
I think Australia has brought out a completely different side of you, your Aussi side! You fit in pretty well. This video series has been a joy to watch, glad you enjoyed Australia ☺️
How does a Russian get to Australia with war in Europe ( caused by Russia) do I believe this Russian found a way to get to Australia In the last 4 yrars ..no I'm not an idiot and I don't believe in the tooth fairy nor the ability of a Russian to just suddenly materialise in Australia . This video is bullshit from start to finish !
Your Aussie Side hahaha 😅 Vegemite eats the Plastics accumulated in your body and just a table spoon completes vital vitamin B's intake. Just look at the jar? the bottom is glass the top is plastic. If the yeast did not eat plastic they'd made the bottom Plastic too to save both weight and money. They pour it on plastic in the ocean to Eat That Plastic Up. "Our Mummies say We're Growing Stronger Every Single Week. It puts a 🌹 on Every Cheek!!"
That was pretty funny, a Russian, doing a Russian accent, then going straight to an Aussie accent. Glad you had a good time here and you come back one day!
In Russia, too, wild boars are not uncommon, I live in Samara - central Russia and if you go to the Zhiguli forests closer to the reserve, you can meet wild boars, moose are also found.
Magpies only attack people who don't feed them throughout the year, carry some dry dog treats in your pocket when you go for walks and feed the Maggies guarding their turf. Eventually, start hand-feeding them, do that and you'll never get swooped even during nesting season. They will even bring their babies to come say hi to you, when you walk past.
@@Moarlatz I was just about to say the same thing. if you form a relationship with them, regular offerings you'll have allies for life. I have one group that follow me through the forest on walks.
Hi Eli, gosh that was a wonderful clip. I'm happy you enjoyed Australia so much. You help Australians to appreciate what we take for granted. :) I love the birds and bats so much and the greenery among the cities. I would miss it all so much if I lived in a concrete jungle city. So much of Sydney is a beautiful place. Sadly it became so expensive after the 2000 Olympics brought too much of the world's attention and investors. To enjoy the 4 seasons with colourful Autumns and cold Winters: Canberra, Victoria, Tasmania and some inland towns along the Great Dividing Range [eastern mountain range]. Regards dangerous animals: I've lived in Canberra all my life and never seen a brown snake, though I've heard of them being around and one beloved cat was bitten and almost died. So you've done well with your wanderings to have such an adventure! I was curious and impressed to hear you felt there were more redheads here than elsewhere you've been. I was dreaming that somewhere else there'd be a lot more [of us] and that I could fit in better there! lol. Ah well, so much for dreams. I shall appreciate here more than I have! I hadimagined there'd be more in St Pbg Russia but I did not see many. Oh and something for everyone know about Australians is that many of us - we who grew up here - are jokers. A big part of our sense of humour is that we like to hype up things that aren't really a thing, in a serious sort of manner, so that others believe they are a thing. It's even funnier to us if it makes us look foolish. Like regards the kangaroo body parts, that's just stuff for tourists in souvenir shops. I've never known an Australian to buy and use such things as roo paws, scrotums etc. Regards eating kangaroos not many people do; only a particular kind of person; as your colleague explained, like 'gym rats'. For the rest of us it's not really a thing. Especially for the many vegetarians and vegans! ;) We love kangaroos being free. I hope one day you will be back! If you do maybe I can connect you with some of my Russian friends who have lived here for decades. Your clips are so inspiring I wish now I had made some travel vlogs about my adventures in St Petersburg and elsewhere!
Ah Eli, there is too much happiness written all over your face when you talk about Australia. And given it has been a long-standing dream of yours, it must be part of your spirit. You'll be back...
Not necessarily. I’ve know a few people from Moscow and St. Petersburg. They’ve been here for a few years and go back to Russia. We all deferent. I’ve lived in Sidney for 23 years and I love Australia.
I would stay in Australia. It's a really great country. Lots of opportunities for immigrants to find work. It's scary what is happening in Russia with the Wagner militia. I wouldn't feel safe going back to Russia until Putin has been assassinated.
The main reason you would not stay in Australia is because it is so far from everything. But being so far from everything is the main reason Australia is such a good place to live.... it's our secret!
The main reason you would not stay in Australia is because your government is fascist and has demonstrated its disregard for individual liberties since your gun ban and most recently the covid lockdowns. Cheers.... mate.
im so happy you got to see australia, im australian and when we tell people how it is relaxed and slow paced, most people don't believe me, hope you enjoyed your time Eli!
Beautiful video, you did Australia proud. You showed small country towns (villages 🤣), City life, the country side, you showed lots of the parts people don't normally see. Well done, come back soon 😄
@@duanehirini2078 that is wonderful that they celebrate fair skin people. In Usa fair skinned people are being genocided by the neo con liberal media. This internet platform celebrates all kinds of races but never fair skinned people. In fact it constantly attacks and vilifies fair skin people as a group.
In Austria we do the same thing with stuff that we don't need anymore. We put it in the street and everybody can take it. It's called "Sperrmüll". Austria and Australia seem to have at least one thing in common 😅
We have in Deutschland the Sperrmüll too, but it owns the city, and nobody is allowed, to take something. But nearly everywhere is it possible to take it away, and nobody says anything.
On ya Ellie. Love your open hearted honesty. We will miss you. But always remember, Oz is a big place and there will always have room for someone as lovely as you. 😎
Great video.. good balance of the pros and cons of Australia.. well done. The other trouble with Australia is that the land is so diverse, it would take over a year to see it all
Wow, you’ve been in Australia for two months and you’re having a ball You’ve seen so many things that make me want to visit them all You’ve met some friendly people and some animals too You’ve tasted some delicious food and learned some words that are new I’m glad you’re living your dream But don’t forget to keep making more vids and tell us more about your scheme😊
So glad that you enjoyed your time here and also that you experienced such a wide range of locations. There are a few other places in Australia I could recommend but in two months you did pretty well. Love the way that you seem to immerse yourself in in the local culture and give such candid yet balanced reporting. But we knew that from your previous videos. Keep travelling Eli and sharing with us.
Globalization 2.0 has made everywhere identical supermarket, petrol stations, McDonald's and box stores. Globalization 3.0 is entering google, Amazon, apple, Facebook,and kids all of the world are now playing the same live online game. The word "culture shock" is 18 century word that no longer making sense.
Glad you have had a good experience down here. You certainly got around and managed to see a lot. Walking to the top of Mount Kosciusko is something I have never done. If you want or need seasons then that is simply solved by coming down to Tasmania - next time maybe. It has been a pleasure to watch your journeys here. Come back soon Eli - happy you enjoyed yourself.
Thanks Eli for visiting us and I'm glad you met some great people here and you showed us some really great landscape pictures and we will miss you. Take care Eli from Russia. And if you get a chance, please (from me) give a big "thank you" to all the people who took good care of you while you were here. Happiness and peace to you Eli.
So glad you had a great time here! You’re saying goodbye, for now…. Totally understand how you miss your homeland and I never truly understood that sentiment until I started traveling. And, as you say, going anywhere from here is a loooooong trip! Loved the videos of your adventures here! Safe travels and see you when you come back this way!
I really like your blogs. I discovered your channel this week and I have been binge watching this whole week. Russia is so beautiful and I am sad that it is difficult these days to travel the country. Keep up your travels and the good work. Greetings from The Netherlands.
I tried it but it just made me feel a bit nauseated, like I was eating Marmite that had 'gone off'. Not saying one thing is better than the other, just that people tend to be more comfortable with brands they are used to.
Sad to see you go. Have really enjoyed your look at our country, or the Eastern part anyway. Come back again sometime, we love visitors. BTW we do have snow, actually more than Switzerland gets in a year. Our skiing season has just started.
more Snow than Switzeland get in a year ?? That is one big statement mate. Eli climbed the highest peak in Australia and it looked like a weekend day activity with plenty of schoolboys at the top, and the summit was like a hill.
@goognamgoognw6637 hey that fact was on RUclips it must be right 😆. Correct our highest mountain is relatively small, but our proximity to Antartica gives us lots of snow in winter. Can ski only 3 hours from Melbourne. Yeah have to check out the snow comparison, might be an urban myth like Drop Bears being fake when all Australians know the truth 😉
@@geoffmaloney2717 I've been to Swiss Alps and the high altitude and ice glaciers like Mont Blanc and the unpredictable wrathful winter weather, and the snow is not for entertainment it's a deadly place for the unprepared. As for skying it's all relative you can ski anywhere with snow. Antartica is close from Australian but that is pushing it a little. There is snow ok, one can skil ok, but the rest is uban myth, mate.
The stat is correct but there are caviats. We get snow over a larger area than Switzerland. Switzerland is tiny and when you compare the area that gets snow here in Australia, we get it over a larger area but less per sq m. So it’s “technically” correct.
@fugawiaus yes, that would be correct, the area much wider so 'more snow', but depth is far less. Point is we have plenty of snow. Nothing like NZ or the Andes in the Sthn Hemisphere, but there are 5klm runs at Thredbo, and I have skiied there in September still with a good cover. Powder, umm not really.
So pleased you had a good time here in Australia. And YES it's very expensive and maybe for all the wrong reasons. Cheaper for me to have a holiday in Bali than fly within Australia. I love the heat and also the dry heat of lots of Australia. I live in Canberra so get some cold, but I do miss the cold of the North. I lived in Sweden for three years and have travelled to Russia four times, three in Winter and one in Spring. I love the cold and the culture it nurtures. First time was when Yeltsin just came to power, then 2003 and 2004 then 2013. Cheers, Ian
I'm so glad you enjoyed you trip. thanks for your appreciation of Oz and also for your excellent video skills, well spoken mate!!! I live way down south in Tasmania, where we do have quite a cold winter and snowfall in the mountains. They also have a winter ski season in the Blue Mountains, inland between Melbourne and Sydney. Thanks again!
I hadn’t appreciated how much nature we have in our cities until I was on the phone with a friend in Dublin. I was shushed so my friend could listen to the birds singing outside. Totally normal to me, totally amazing to him. That made me appreciate our birds even more. 🦜 ❤
We do have beautiful Autumn coloured trees here just not in the bush/forests because they are gums which aren’t deciduous. We also have snow which surprises a lot of overseas visitors. Glad that you enjoyed your time here 😊 Things are expensive but our wages are higher and we don’t have to tip 😄👍🏻
Maybe if visiting Mt Hotham or one day every decade some extremely light snow in the Adelaide Hills that melts as it riches the ground…. But we don’t have beautiful white snow filling all around us for months in winter as they have in Russia. I visited Russia many times from Australia in their winter and truly it is magical. You are right about wages - and the bonus is that when we save cash or increments it goes a long way when travelling to or even moving abroad later in life.
I remember going to Australia for 17 days in April 2019 (autumn/winter). 12 in Sydney and 5 in Melbourne. I was going to go to another city in Australia in 2021 but was later called off due to travel restrictions and lack of money. But anyway, it was so beautiful!
Glad you enjoyed your stay. Lots in this country. Southern Australia has 4 seasons. It has been 10 degrees during the day in Adelaide, and Victoria is having its coldest winter in decades. We have Snow, in the mountains. Don't know where you shopped, but in my city, larger shops are open until 9.00pm Mon to Friday and open all weekend. I think Melbourne is the same, many Victorian country towns have 24 hour shopping, well they use to. You will be happy to know that my son's friend is also originally from Russia, and yes he is a Red Head/haired too, with your complexion as well. Come again soon. You can pick any climate from the Tropics to the Euro weather, here.
If you get the chance, visit the west coast of Australia. Western Australia only has snow once a year near a town called Albany, on a mountain called Bluff Knoll. Otherwise, the West Australian winter in the south looks more like a Russian spring. In the south you have Margaret River, which is a food, winery and surfing region. The landscape varies from rolling hills, to red dirt, to the beauty of Ningaloo reef, a miniature version of the Great Barrier Reef. There are beautiful beaches all the way up the coast. The best way to see it is definitely with a road trip. I've personaly driven the Eyre Highway 32 times, going from mostly Perth to Victoria and back. It was said that the Irish, the Scots and the Russians originally descended from the same Nordic tribe. There's a lot of redheads because there's a lot of people of Irish and Scottish descent. In Australia there is often a 9:00 closing time on a Thursday. This allows people to go shopping at a time other than weekends.
I can't remember the exact name, but my Dad is a member of the bluff noll skiing club. You have to bring a set of ski's, that's part of the charter, but there is pretty much never enough snow to ski on. But that's not the point, it's cooking a barbecue and drinking hot toddys for no greater reason than it's a pretty good joke. And you're probably gonna get on with other people who share that joke. Was also a member of a yacht club in a lake with no water. They built land yachts, go carts with sails. Cos why not? Love my open country,
Glad you enjoyed your trip Eli in the little time you had. As you know Australia is a big country with lots of variation across States and it takes a lot of time to see it all. Both NSW and Victoria are popular for snow skiing in winter (Thredbo, Perisher, Mt Hotham, Falls Creek are just some of the most popular skiing resorts) and there are many places that see snow in winter months. Magpie swoop in nesting season as they are wanting to protect their new born in their nests if you walk under their tree. They are not like that all year round. Snakes are more scared of you and they hybernate in winter underground so its only warm summer months you can find them in the bush usually looking for food & water. When you live here in the warmer climate for a period of time your body adapts and them you find you no longer like the cold winter months as you blood thins and you yearn for warm sunny days. We do have 4 x climate cycles per year for sure. Iam on the west coast in perth and it has been cold & wet all this week with very cold nights/mornings but we don't get snow
very interesting comment. I like how well educated Australians are, there's a balance, not a corporate and deep state brainwashed egotistic extreme individualism sickly education as in usa. As for seasons in Australia i am guessing it's more of a coastal thing, the outbacks probably have only two season hot and dry and a short hot and humid season.
There are also many flies in Australia both large and small, blow flies and bush flies, which are prevalent and very annoying in summer.(and mosquitoes.)
The southern parts of Australia do get four seasons, particularly inland where there is no moderating coastal effect. (I live in southern inland NSW and a cold winter morning can be -10C and a hot summer day can be +43C) In the tropical monsoonal north you get typical "dry," "wet," and "build-up" seasons as you do in places like Indonesia and Vietnam, and there is absolutely no way you wouldn't notice which one you're are currently in.
I moved to Australia from Canada 25 years ago. I was surprised to discover that beyond the popular tourist spots there are many areas that get 4 seasons...including snow in winter. Even where I live, between Sydney and Brisbane ... 25 minutes inland from the ocean we have beautiful trees that turn yellow and red in the autumn and frost in winter. I love winter here... not painfully cold like where I came from, but cold enough to enjoy warm fires and wool socks. But about the too far from everything part...I totally agree.
You can get a kind of winter in a few places, but the problem is everything defaults to hot and theres no getting away from it in Summer. Nowhere. You get hints of Autumn, rainy and orangeish leaves that last for a few days, then default: hot. You even get a little snow in some of the ranges, but default: hot. And when its not hot its very hot.
the Adelaide Hills area just around Mt Lofty townships and Picadilly Valley (apple orchards, wineries etc) has a spectacular autumn show of japanese and european maples and the like, every year for about six weeks. Around April/May. Great time to visit!
@@emceeboogieboots1608 Not been to WA but in SA, QLD, NSW I have lived. Sure enough in winter you get the odd cold snap, and nights are cold so you put on a sweater, but usually the days are hot. Sometimes you get lucky and get the odd cool day in summer on the south coast but that's the exception. Snow is rare apart from the mountain ranges in mid winter. Adelaide hills are stinking hot most days of the year but you get a nice few cool-ish months.
Glad Australia lived up to Eli's dreams. The series was solid and I like the long stay format. The best part for me the people Eli interviewed. Even the casual conversations, like the one with Stuart in this episode reinforced the general friendly vibe of the series. Anyone else like Eli laying on the thick/thicc accent is at the beginning? 😅
Very interesting observations. We take a lot for granted and normal about our country. Sometimes people hear the birds when I'm streaming or on video call and ask me if I live in a jungle or in an aviary... I never understood why. I thought it was normal.
Next time you visit Australia, visit Tasmania. That little island to the south. Summer is hot, winter is freezing. It does snow in some parts, but every part of the island state is beautiful. Hobart is a small city, at the foot of a mountain.
Tasmania might be a good choice for her but it is an island and even more isolated. I see that as a plus (further away from the rest of the world atm is a good idea). I lived in Sydney when we used to have seasons, it could get really cold in winter. I've left Sydney now and moved to tassie so I can experience the 4 seasons.
Summer is not hot lol, and there isn't any snow in the winter. I don't think that's what Eli is looking for. As a Russian, I too love Russian winters, but it's entirely because of the snow and ice; without either or both, winter is just summer minus the fun and comfort. I have been living in the UK for the past few years, and I absolutely despise the winters here lol. Literally couldn't imagine worse weather if I tried. It seems like Tasmanian winters are similar, and if so, it's likely Eli will hate them just as much as I do.
I was there for two weeks and I fell in love with the people and the Sun. I had the opportunity to visit a friend who owns a ranch. It took 30 mins to get to his house once we had entered the ranch. We spent the day on motorcycles and he showed me where not to go and I freaked out when he showed me how easy it was to get killed in the outback. Everywhere we went and got off the bike he told me to watch the trees and where you walk. But the ranch had everything and lots of good food. The Scenery and the animals are incredible.
Hi Eli, have been really enjoying your videos. Delighted that you've come to Australia and you're enjoying. Being a first generation Aussie, of Russian parents, I was interested to hear that you may consider Australia as a possible home. And yes we do know how blessed we are to have this lifestyle. Privet Vania 🤗
'Consider Australia?' Can she choose? I'm British, Britain hasn't invaded a neighbouring democratic country, and is home to many Australians. We have been linked and allied countries for centuries. British people cannot just go and live in Australia if they fancy it.
Hi Eli from an Ozzie born and bred , just so you know our country is so vast that you can live here your whole life and still not see everything , definitely would be lovely to see you return someday and explore many more places , glad you enjoyed your stay , peace 🙏
Try Tasmania. Not much in the way of frozen lakes, but it still gets pretty bloody cold if you're a fan of winter! I grew up in Sydney, lived in Melbourne for a while and finally settled down here. A much slower pace.. kinda more like rural areas of oz. Great food and people. The shops do close here super early of course ;)
I come from Ukrainian stock, so instinctively love four seasons and a bit of snow (not so much to stop life but enough to be pretty :) ), so I love it down here in Ballarat, Victoria. Our snow isn't regular but the snowfields are only a few hours drive away if you need it. In fact, everything from snow to deserts, rainforests to rolling green fields, are all within a day trip of Ballarat. It makes a great starter city to land in & get a feel for what sort of country you want to live in, before making your permanent move.
@@jenifferschmitz8618What part of Alice Springs 😂 they average some of the highest temperatures in Australia annually. Just short of central Australian temperatures.
Really glad you enjoyed your time here :) I hope one day you return. All cities are nice and have something different to offer. One day you have to drive from Perth to Melbourne, onto the ferry, around Tasmania then back onto the Ferry and upto Melbourne, Sydney Brisbane and see your friends again. :) Don't worry about snakes. They are more afraid of you than you of them. Just make noise, keep your wits about you and be a little careful. Best wishes and safe journey.
I just found your channel and I love it. I’m Australian and I always find it hilarious the cultural differences. My ex sister-in law is German and many things you’re saying she said the same. She was here for a few years before she moved back to Germany. We get all the seasons. Autumn is so beautiful in Victoria and our winters down here are pretty cold too. It’s definitely not hot all year round but you have to watch out for UV rays, even when the sun isn’t out, you have the chance of getting sunburnt. I’m fair skinned and people from overseas can’t comprehend how I don’t tan-genetics. I turn lobster because of my families Irish and Scottish ancestry. Which is the case for a lot of Australians.
I can see how people from Europe and North America think that Australia is “so far away.” But once you’ve lived here for a while, and spend time going to places like Indonesia (there’s far more to it than Bali), Singapore, Vietnam, Fiji, Vanuatu, New Caledonia, French Polynesia, New Zealand (it’s far more different from Australia than most Europeans would think), or gone diving in the Solomon Islands, it doesn’t seem “far away” at all. It’s just close to a very different part of the world.
Well said Richo. Australia is very far from Europe/Americas/Africa but it’s also close to Asia and the Pacific Islands. Fiji, Vanuatu, Tahiti are paradise. NZ is very different and I think as an Australian, more beautiful with its amazing mountains and countryside. Parts of NZ remind me of The Alps in Europe.
@@josephj6521 I've seen most of Aus and a lot of NZ. There is definitely a much wider range of climates and landscapes in Australia, plus city and cultural options NZ can't really compete with. My favorite locations are Tasmania, the Red Centre and the Top End. They are all totally unique.
In fact there is a circle that can be drawn on a map over Asia, in which more than 50% of the world’s population lives. Australia is on the edge of where most of the world lives.
03:15 that is a striking imagine. I have never seen a picture of a cruise ship close-in in an urban environment. That thing is just huuuge, it's like the size of one of those skyscrapers laid out horizontally.
Great review of our country Eli! I've enjoyed watching your travel videos. If you thought some places in Australia are remote ... you should check out the state of Western Australia, which covers 1/3 of the country's land mass. The capital city Perth is smaller than the big cities such as Sydney and Melbourne, but it still has a "country" feel to it where it is not uncommon for people to say "g'day" to you when passing them in the suburban streets. The "slip slop slap" mnemonic slogan was started in the 1980s (I was a teenager back then) to raise awareness about skin cancer, where it stood for SLIP on a long sleeve shirt, SLOP on some sunscreen, and SLAP on a hat - essentially to cover your exposed skin as much as possible. Yes, the sun here is very harsh! You should consider becoming a resident here, we're very welcoming and you won't regret it! Cheers!
Thank you for visiting my beautiful country Eli. I’m glad you enjoyed it and that you survived the wildlife. Hopefully more Russians will visit. I’d love to visit Russia some day. Cheers mate
As long as the Putler-regime reigns in Russia every single cent which is spent by people visiting Russia finances the war against Ukraine. Slava Ukraini, free Russia from its terrorist government, wake up Russian people!
@@johnchrysostomon6284 Oh I guess you didn't hear what happened when the Russians visited Ukraine? Anyway I thought they were supposed to be sanctioned.
Glad you're enjoying Australia so much, even if our cafes often close by 3pm 😅 BTW we do have distinct seasons in the south of the country - Canberra, Melbourne and Hobart, for example - with lots of autumn leaves. Not much snow though, unless you go to places like Mt Buller, Mt Kosciuszko, Thredbo etc.
I live in rural alpine Australia and we have wild deer, kangaroos, echidna and wombats all wandering around our property with the domesticated animals most days. I've lived and travelled all over the world and while I've loved other places for all the reasons you said, I was glad to come home as we are all the way down here with new Zealand and we like it that way. So glad you had a great visit.
It is so interesting to hear a native Russian say they can't live without the winter. I wonder what percent agree with Eli, and what percent are sick to death of the winter :)
for me, as a Russian, winter is also the best time of the year, but I also have friends who want to live all their lives on the shores of the warm sea, so I think it's 50/50😊❤
The definition is what is winter to many. I live in northern New Mexico.....winter is cool with some snow and lasts 8-9 weeks. That is winter enough for me.
I'm American (partial Ukrainian descent) and I'm from Pennsylvania. As much as the Winter can suck sometimes, I feel it be weird to live somewhere without 4 seasons, at least to some extent.
I’m glad you enjoyed Australia. I love the snow so I’ve always wanted to go to Europe or North America. I would like to see the Russian/Siberian wilderness. One thing we don’t really have in Australia is huge mountains.
If you want winter, go to the snowy mountains 5 hours south of Sydney. You would think it was canada in winter. Australia has 4 seasons, you just need to travel to see it.
Haha, definitely not like Canada! Ski resorts in Aus have problems to get enough snow in winter to operate. It's more like: You do get SOME snow in Aus, a fact people might be unaware of. Plus a few ski resorts. Although people who want to have a better skiing holidays (and can afford it, obviously), go to New Zealand.
Это было интересно! Спасибо!) Мне тоже по душе такая застройка. Урбанистика - это очень важно. Малоэтажная застройка, наличие зелени, широкая дорога (и это в крупных городах!) очень сильно влияют на жизнь людей в долгосрочной перспективе. Столько света, ярких красок...вот и улыбаются все!)))
i love the aussie people. was there in th 90s...lived in hawaii for 4 years. the aussie government is another story, i know u avoid politics, but its hard to avoid forces that are destroying our civilization. free..feeedom...very complicated word these days.
@@mrscuteasmen’s behaviour changes and whatnot cause our government is a man hating feminist joke. All good but if they decide to start a war with china or something stupid they’ll know exactly what to do us! Awful country as far as government goes as it is today utterly pathetic.
I'm glad you were made welcome. time spent in the country would help you understand why there seems a great divide between the Ausie country folk and city dwellers. yes, the country may have way more deadly animals, but you learn to live with them. but the bush is an amazing place to live and the people generally are so friendly that you can't walk past someone without saying g'day. I've lived in both city and bush, the latter i couldn't dream of leaving now.
The redheads and the skin cancer go together 😀 The land scapes and way of life of Southeastern Australia are similar to here in Southern California but perhaps more humid with a more European vibe
As a Sydney expat living in Canada, I'm just tickled pink that you enjoyed Australia so much! 🦘 Maybe you should commute between Oz and Russia, even if it's a rather a long flight. I found that I really only learned to appreciate Oz after I moved away. But up here we do have snow and frozen lakes (ours hasn't frozen in a few years, presumably thanks to climate change) and I also find winter my favorite season. The locals think I'm crazy moving away from 40C summers and mild winters and to be honest I do miss Oz sometimes. I'm probably due to go down for a visit sometime soon. Thanks again for such generous and broad coverage Eli. I've enjoyed you work - especially in Australia - immensely. Oo roo mate.
Nice comment but I have one, minor, correction for you to consider. It should be "hoo roo". I remember my grandfather saying it that way here in Queensland. Hoo roo then!
Almost everyone who resides in a cold climate thinks 40C days sound great until they actually experience them. Large areas of Australia are far too hot for far too much of the year, unfortunately.

What do you think about Vegemite?
It's funny that you're shocked about people eating kangaroo but you were perfectly okay with eating horse in Russia.
Watching from Bangladesh 🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩
On seasons, we have them. Some places the seasons are less varied but we have hot summers snow in winter and cooler inbetween.
You should definitely convince your beautiful family to move to Australia, and then become "Eli from Australia" on RUclips. You could still travel the world and enjoy other seasons (it's just the initial plane flight would sometimes be a long one).
The effect of your Australia extended visit is a lingering smile on your face.
I moved from the US to Perth, Australia, 50 years ago, and I am still here, and now a citizen. It’s a great country, and I am happy you have really enjoyed it here. Come back!
Perth is definitely the best city in Australia… our hidden secret from the rest of the country and the world
Im Aussie this makes me happy
I think Australia has brought out a completely different side of you, your Aussi side! You fit in pretty well. This video series has been a joy to watch, glad you enjoyed Australia ☺️
She is russian nazi girl
How does a Russian get to Australia with war in Europe ( caused by Russia) do I believe this Russian found a way to get to Australia In the last 4 yrars ..no I'm not an idiot and I don't believe in the tooth fairy nor the ability of a Russian to just suddenly materialise in Australia . This video is bullshit from start to finish !
Your Aussie Side hahaha 😅
Vegemite eats the Plastics accumulated in your body and just a table spoon completes vital vitamin B's intake. Just look at the jar? the bottom is glass the top is plastic. If the yeast did not eat plastic they'd made the bottom Plastic too to save both weight and money.
They pour it on plastic in the ocean to Eat That Plastic Up.

Anyway, you are Not from Russia, You are Germanic and only moved to Russia.
Then you are not from Germany but from Mars... The RED Planet.
I’m so glad you loved Australia!
Eli, this was the most refreshing short video I have seen in a long time. Thank you for sharing. I hope you return.
That was pretty funny, a Russian, doing a Russian accent, then going straight to an Aussie accent. Glad you had a good time here and you come back one day!

Mammal Hair is Spider Hair.
Magpies only attack when its nesting season and they are fierce when it comes to protecting their babies
Same with Mockingbirds here in the USA. They can be scary if you don't know you're on their turf.
And things that are red
In Russia, too, wild boars are not uncommon, I live in Samara - central Russia and if you go to the Zhiguli forests closer to the reserve, you can meet wild boars, moose are also found.
Magpies only attack people who don't feed them throughout the year, carry some dry dog treats in your pocket when you go for walks and feed the Maggies guarding their turf. Eventually, start hand-feeding them, do that and you'll never get swooped even during nesting season. They will even bring their babies to come say hi to you, when you walk past.
@@Moarlatz I was just about to say the same thing. if you form a relationship with them, regular offerings you'll have allies for life. I have one group that follow me through the forest on walks.
Hi Eli, gosh that was a wonderful clip. I'm happy you enjoyed Australia so much. You help Australians to appreciate what we take for granted. :) I love the birds and bats so much and the greenery among the cities. I would miss it all so much if I lived in a concrete jungle city. So much of Sydney is a beautiful place. Sadly it became so expensive after the 2000 Olympics brought too much of the world's attention and investors.
To enjoy the 4 seasons with colourful Autumns and cold Winters: Canberra, Victoria, Tasmania and some inland towns along the Great Dividing Range [eastern mountain range].
Regards dangerous animals: I've lived in Canberra all my life and never seen a brown snake, though I've heard of them being around and one beloved cat was bitten and almost died. So you've done well with your wanderings to have such an adventure!
I was curious and impressed to hear you felt there were more redheads here than elsewhere you've been. I was dreaming that somewhere else there'd be a lot more [of us] and that I could fit in better there! lol. Ah well, so much for dreams. I shall appreciate here more than I have! I hadimagined there'd be more in St Pbg Russia but I did not see many.
Oh and something for everyone know about Australians is that many of us - we who grew up here - are jokers. A big part of our sense of humour is that we like to hype up things that aren't really a thing, in a serious sort of manner, so that others believe they are a thing. It's even funnier to us if it makes us look foolish.
Like regards the kangaroo body parts, that's just stuff for tourists in souvenir shops. I've never known an Australian to buy and use such things as roo paws, scrotums etc.
Regards eating kangaroos not many people do; only a particular kind of person; as your colleague explained, like 'gym rats'. For the rest of us it's not really a thing.
Especially for the many vegetarians and vegans! ;) We love kangaroos being free.
I hope one day you will be back! If you do maybe I can connect you with some of my Russian friends who have lived here for decades.
Your clips are so inspiring I wish now I had made some travel vlogs about my adventures in St Petersburg and elsewhere!
Ah Eli, there is too much happiness written all over your face when you talk about Australia. And given it has been a long-standing dream of yours, it must be part of your spirit. You'll be back...
Not necessarily. I’ve know a few people from Moscow and St. Petersburg. They’ve been here for a few years and go back to Russia. We all deferent. I’ve lived in Sidney for 23 years and I love Australia.
So beautiful videos about Australia. Thank you very much for introducing this land to us in a fantastic way. Great video Eli, as usual.
Many thanks!
I would stay in Australia. It's a really great country. Lots of opportunities for immigrants to find work. It's scary what is happening in Russia with the Wagner militia. I wouldn't feel safe going back to Russia until Putin has been assassinated.
@@ElifromRussia
Indonesia is better.
The main reason you would not stay in Australia is because it is so far from everything. But being so far from everything is the main reason Australia is such a good place to live.... it's our secret!
not even for all the gold in the world i would go to austrailia
@@richardhltrp1791 Why not, it's a great country to live?
@@richardhltrp1791good we don't want wankers here
Your loss, our gain😊 Richard
The main reason you would not stay in Australia is because your government is fascist and has demonstrated its disregard for individual liberties since your gun ban and most recently the covid lockdowns. Cheers.... mate.
im so happy you got to see australia, im australian and when we tell people how it is relaxed and slow paced, most people don't believe me, hope you enjoyed your time Eli!
dont forget that most aussies are also smartasses most of the time lol
Tasmania has frozen lakes in winter ❄️ and we do have a good snow season most winters in the snowy mountains
Beautiful video, you did Australia proud. You showed small country towns (villages 🤣), City life, the country side, you showed lots of the parts people don't normally see. Well done, come back soon 😄
Thanks, mate!
Maybe next time she can have an adventure in the outbacks with some reliable guide. But not when it's too hot.
@@ElifromRussia5th November is Redheads Day in Australia. Should go. I was just walking past Fed Square one year and saw hundreds of redheads.
@@duanehirini2078 that is wonderful that they celebrate fair skin people. In Usa fair skinned people are being genocided by the neo con liberal media. This internet platform celebrates all kinds of races but never fair skinned people. In fact it constantly attacks and vilifies fair skin people as a group.
I did not see any of that!
In Austria we do the same thing with stuff that we don't need anymore. We put it in the street and everybody can take it. It's called "Sperrmüll". Austria and Australia seem to have at least one thing in common 😅
They do this in the US too?
We have in Deutschland the Sperrmüll too, but it owns the city, and nobody is allowed, to take something. But nearly everywhere is it possible to take it away, and nobody says anything.
What do you mean by "Nobody is allowed to take anything"?
@josephcampbell508 I'm from the US, I'm just saying we do this too, what is the big deal?
Don’t forget where this lovely lady comes from,we take so much for granted.
Yes - come back Eli !!!
I don’t think I’m alone in saying you can stop over at my place any time.
I enjoyed your adventures! Stay safe.
Thank you Eli, for the wonderful education on Australia.
On ya Ellie. Love your open hearted honesty. We will miss you. But always remember, Oz is a big place and there will always have room for someone as lovely as you. 😎
Great video.. good balance of the pros and cons of Australia.. well done. The other trouble with Australia is that the land is so diverse, it would take over a year to see it all
Wow, you’ve been in Australia for two months and you’re having a ball
You’ve seen so many things that make me want to visit them all
You’ve met some friendly people and some animals too
You’ve tasted some delicious food and learned some words that are new
I’m glad you’re living your dream
But don’t forget to keep making more vids and tell us more about your scheme😊
Great video , pleasure having you visit with us.
I am a big fan and, it's a blessing for us Ozzie's you have visited...
So glad that you enjoyed your time here and also that you experienced such a wide range of locations. There are a few other places in Australia I could recommend but in two months you did pretty well. Love the way that you seem to immerse yourself in in the local culture and give such candid yet balanced reporting. But we knew that from your previous videos. Keep travelling Eli and sharing with us.
In these somewhat troubled times, thank you for showing us that people really are the same across the world!
Globalization 2.0 has made everywhere identical supermarket, petrol stations, McDonald's and box stores.
Globalization 3.0 is entering google, Amazon, apple, Facebook,and kids all of the world are now playing the same live online game.
The word "culture shock" is 18 century word that no longer making sense.
They are not the same, Russians are not speaking out against the war crimes and thus accept it, there is no need for such people in Australia.
Very respectful video. Thank you!
Eli, we miss you already! 😢. Australia will always be your second home. 🐨🍻💞
I am glad she got to that conclusion although without saying especially having been extensively to Usa and could not say the same about it.
Fantastic video ... thank you for sharing part of yourself with such warmth!
Come back any time. We would be lucky to have you. You are an Aussie at heart.
Well that depends, does she support Putin and the war?
What type of question is that??
Glad you have had a good experience down here. You certainly got around and managed to see a lot. Walking to the top of Mount Kosciusko is something I have never done. If you want or need seasons then that is simply solved by coming down to Tasmania - next time maybe. It has been a pleasure to watch your journeys here. Come back soon Eli - happy you enjoyed yourself.
Hello natural explorer. Can I ask what part of Tasmania you reside in. I live in the greater Launceston area ( rural).
@@garryrichardson4572 I am on the NW coast. Near Devonport but not within it.
Thanks Eli for visiting us and I'm glad you met some great people here and you showed us some really great landscape pictures and we will miss you. Take care Eli from Russia. And if you get a chance, please (from me) give a big "thank you" to all the people who took good care of you while you were here. Happiness and peace to you Eli.
So glad you had a great time here! You’re saying goodbye, for now…. Totally understand how you miss your homeland and I never truly understood that sentiment until I started traveling. And, as you say, going anywhere from here is a loooooong trip! Loved the videos of your adventures here! Safe travels and see you when you come back this way!
I really enjoyed seeing your experiences and hearing your thoughts and comments. I learned a lot. Thank you!
So awesome to see you visit! Come again soon.
I really like your blogs. I discovered your channel this week and I have been binge watching this whole week. Russia is so beautiful and I am sad that it is difficult these days to travel the country. Keep up your travels and the good work. Greetings from The Netherlands.
Thanks so much! 😊
One take away from your videos from Australia: I have found that a nearby supermarket here in England sells Vegemite - and I LOVE IT!
I tried it but it just made me feel a bit nauseated, like I was eating Marmite that had 'gone off'. Not saying one thing is better than the other, just that people tend to be more comfortable with brands they are used to.
It's definitely an acquired taste but us Aussies love it.
you are such a lovely soul, Eli :)
Sad to see you go. Have really enjoyed your look at our country, or the Eastern part anyway. Come back again sometime, we love visitors. BTW we do have snow, actually more than Switzerland gets in a year. Our skiing season has just started.
more Snow than Switzeland get in a year ?? That is one big statement mate. Eli climbed the highest peak in Australia and it looked like a weekend day activity with plenty of schoolboys at the top, and the summit was like a hill.
@goognamgoognw6637 hey that fact was on RUclips it must be right 😆. Correct our highest mountain is relatively small, but our proximity to Antartica gives us lots of snow in winter. Can ski only 3 hours from Melbourne. Yeah have to check out the snow comparison, might be an urban myth like Drop Bears being fake when all Australians know the truth 😉
@@geoffmaloney2717 I've been to Swiss Alps and the high altitude and ice glaciers like Mont Blanc and the unpredictable wrathful winter weather, and the snow is not for entertainment it's a deadly place for the unprepared. As for skying it's all relative you can ski anywhere with snow. Antartica is close from Australian but that is pushing it a little. There is snow ok, one can skil ok, but the rest is uban myth, mate.
The stat is correct but there are caviats. We get snow over a larger area than Switzerland. Switzerland is tiny and when you compare the area that gets snow here in Australia, we get it over a larger area but less per sq m.
So it’s “technically” correct.
@fugawiaus yes, that would be correct, the area much wider so 'more snow', but depth is far less. Point is we have plenty of snow. Nothing like NZ or the Andes in the Sthn Hemisphere, but there are 5klm runs at Thredbo, and I have skiied there in September still with a good cover. Powder, umm not really.
These are great videos, keep up the amazing work! ❤❤
So pleased you had a good time here in Australia. And YES it's very expensive and maybe for all the wrong reasons. Cheaper for me to have a holiday in Bali than fly within Australia. I love the heat and also the dry heat of lots of Australia. I live in Canberra so get some cold, but I do miss the cold of the North. I lived in Sweden for three years and have travelled to Russia four times, three in Winter and one in Spring. I love the cold and the culture it nurtures. First time was when Yeltsin just came to power, then 2003 and 2004 then 2013. Cheers, Ian
I'm so glad you enjoyed you trip. thanks for your appreciation of Oz and also for your excellent video skills, well spoken mate!!!
I live way down south in Tasmania, where we do have quite a cold winter and snowfall in the mountains. They also have a winter ski season in the Blue Mountains, inland between Melbourne and Sydney. Thanks again!
Thanx for stopping by....🤙🇦🇺😎
glad you liked it here😀
I hadn’t appreciated how much nature we have in our cities until I was on the phone with a friend in Dublin. I was shushed so my friend could listen to the birds singing outside. Totally normal to me, totally amazing to him. That made me appreciate our birds even more. 🦜 ❤
We do have beautiful Autumn coloured trees here just not in the bush/forests because they are gums which aren’t deciduous. We also have snow which surprises a lot of overseas visitors. Glad that you enjoyed your time here 😊 Things are expensive but our wages are higher and we don’t have to tip 😄👍🏻
Maybe if visiting Mt Hotham or one day every decade some extremely light snow in the Adelaide Hills that melts as it riches the ground…. But we don’t have beautiful white snow filling all around us for months in winter as they have in Russia. I visited Russia many times from Australia in their winter and truly it is magical. You are right about wages - and the bonus is that when we save cash or increments it goes a long way when travelling to or even moving abroad later in life.
Tasmania has three distinct seasons, we have lots of snow here at this time, glad you enjoyed our country, come back soon 😊
Highly accurate analysis of living down under:) love your content, keep up the amazing work- love watching your videos:)
I remember going to Australia for 17 days in April 2019 (autumn/winter). 12 in Sydney and 5 in Melbourne.
I was going to go to another city in Australia in 2021 but was later called off due to travel restrictions and lack of money. But anyway, it was so beautiful!
Glad you enjoyed your stay. Lots in this country. Southern Australia has 4 seasons. It has been 10 degrees during the day in Adelaide, and Victoria is having its coldest winter in decades. We have Snow, in the mountains. Don't know where you shopped, but in my city, larger shops are open until 9.00pm Mon to Friday and open all weekend. I think Melbourne is the same, many Victorian country towns have 24 hour shopping, well they use to. You will be happy to know that my son's friend is also originally from Russia, and yes he is a Red Head/haired too, with your complexion as well. Come again soon. You can pick any climate from the Tropics to the Euro weather, here.
You are the best Eli. you make people happy
If you get the chance, visit the west coast of Australia. Western Australia only has snow once a year near a town called Albany, on a mountain called Bluff Knoll. Otherwise, the West Australian winter in the south looks more like a Russian spring. In the south you have Margaret River, which is a food, winery and surfing region. The landscape varies from rolling hills, to red dirt, to the beauty of Ningaloo reef, a miniature version of the Great Barrier Reef. There are beautiful beaches all the way up the coast. The best way to see it is definitely with a road trip. I've personaly driven the Eyre Highway 32 times, going from mostly Perth to Victoria and back.
It was said that the Irish, the Scots and the Russians originally descended from the same Nordic tribe. There's a lot of redheads because there's a lot of people of Irish and Scottish descent.
In Australia there is often a 9:00 closing time on a Thursday. This allows people to go shopping at a time other than weekends.
Yes, WA would be a very stark contrast to Russia, so fascinating for Eli.
I can't remember the exact name, but my Dad is a member of the bluff noll skiing club. You have to bring a set of ski's, that's part of the charter, but there is pretty much never enough snow to ski on. But that's not the point, it's cooking a barbecue and drinking hot toddys for no greater reason than it's a pretty good joke. And you're probably gonna get on with other people who share that joke. Was also a member of a yacht club in a lake with no water. They built land yachts, go carts with sails. Cos why not? Love my open country,
Glad you enjoyed your trip Eli in the little time you had. As you know Australia is a big country with lots of variation across States and it takes a lot of time to see it all. Both NSW and Victoria are popular for snow skiing in winter (Thredbo, Perisher, Mt Hotham, Falls Creek are just some of the most popular skiing resorts) and there are many places that see snow in winter months. Magpie swoop in nesting season as they are wanting to protect their new born in their nests if you walk under their tree. They are not like that all year round. Snakes are more scared of you and they hybernate in winter underground so its only warm summer months you can find them in the bush usually looking for food & water. When you live here in the warmer climate for a period of time your body adapts and them you find you no longer like the cold winter months as you blood thins and you yearn for warm sunny days. We do have 4 x climate cycles per year for sure. Iam on the west coast in perth and it has been cold & wet all this week with very cold nights/mornings but we don't get snow
very interesting comment. I like how well educated Australians are, there's a balance, not a corporate and deep state brainwashed egotistic extreme individualism sickly education as in usa. As for seasons in Australia i am guessing it's more of a coastal thing, the outbacks probably have only two season hot and dry and a short hot and humid season.
Thanks for this summary of Australia...couldn't have said it any better 💛🇦🇺💚
@@goognamgoognw6637deserts can get down to zero Celsius at night.
There are also many flies in Australia both large and small, blow flies and bush flies, which are prevalent and very annoying in summer.(and mosquitoes.)
The southern parts of Australia do get four seasons, particularly inland where there is no moderating coastal effect. (I live in southern inland NSW and a cold winter morning can be -10C and a hot summer day can be +43C) In the tropical monsoonal north you get typical "dry," "wet," and "build-up" seasons as you do in places like Indonesia and Vietnam, and there is absolutely no way you wouldn't notice which one you're are currently in.
I needed to see this. My country has made me very sad the last few years. I need to remember I’m very lucky and it really is very beautiful. Thanks.
Thank you for making me feel proud of my home :)
I moved to Australia from Canada 25 years ago. I was surprised to discover that beyond the popular tourist spots there are many areas that get 4 seasons...including snow in winter. Even where I live, between Sydney and Brisbane ... 25 minutes inland from the ocean we have beautiful trees that turn yellow and red in the autumn and frost in winter. I love winter here... not painfully cold like where I came from, but cold enough to enjoy warm fires and wool socks. But about the too far from everything part...I totally agree.
I have not been to Canada, but hear the mossies there rival the flies here😬
You can get a kind of winter in a few places, but the problem is everything defaults to hot and theres no getting away from it in Summer. Nowhere. You get hints of Autumn, rainy and orangeish leaves that last for a few days, then default: hot. You even get a little snow in some of the ranges, but default: hot. And when its not hot its very hot.
@DotSimLtd Not snowing is hot?
I live in SW WA. In winter it is wet and cold, but doesn't snow.
But hot??
the Adelaide Hills area just around Mt Lofty townships and Picadilly Valley (apple orchards, wineries etc) has a spectacular autumn show of japanese and european maples and the like, every year for about six weeks. Around April/May. Great time to visit!
@@emceeboogieboots1608 Not been to WA but in SA, QLD, NSW I have lived. Sure enough in winter you get the odd cold snap, and nights are cold so you put on a sweater, but usually the days are hot. Sometimes you get lucky and get the odd cool day in summer on the south coast but that's the exception. Snow is rare apart from the mountain ranges in mid winter. Adelaide hills are stinking hot most days of the year but you get a nice few cool-ish months.
What a lovely, intelligent and funny lady. Such a joy!
So glad you experienced The Australia so many of us love 🦘👏🌅
Glad Australia lived up to Eli's dreams. The series was solid and I like the long stay format. The best part for me the people Eli interviewed. Even the casual conversations, like the one with Stuart in this episode reinforced the general friendly vibe of the series. Anyone else like Eli laying on the thick/thicc accent is at the beginning? 😅
She did a bad accent really well
@@dsmj7389 Like "squirrel and moose" bad/good for me. 😋
Very interesting observations. We take a lot for granted and normal about our country.
Sometimes people hear the birds when I'm streaming or on video call and ask me if I live in a jungle or in an aviary... I never understood why. I thought it was normal.
Next time you visit Australia, visit Tasmania. That little island to the south. Summer is hot, winter is freezing. It does snow in some parts, but every part of the island state is beautiful. Hobart is a small city, at the foot of a mountain.
Tasmania might be a good choice for her but it is an island and even more isolated. I see that as a plus (further away from the rest of the world atm is a good idea). I lived in Sydney when we used to have seasons, it could get really cold in winter. I've left Sydney now and moved to tassie so I can experience the 4 seasons.
Loves going to tassie havent been hobart yet but went to north east of tassie it was beautiful the ocean is so clean bright blue :)
Summer is not hot lol, and there isn't any snow in the winter. I don't think that's what Eli is looking for. As a Russian, I too love Russian winters, but it's entirely because of the snow and ice; without either or both, winter is just summer minus the fun and comfort. I have been living in the UK for the past few years, and I absolutely despise the winters here lol. Literally couldn't imagine worse weather if I tried. It seems like Tasmanian winters are similar, and if so, it's likely Eli will hate them just as much as I do.
@@maxkho00 do you live here or have lived here?
@@redthezz How is that relevant? I haven't permanently lived there, no.
I was there for two weeks and I fell in love with the people and the Sun. I had the opportunity to visit a friend who owns a ranch. It took 30 mins to get to his house once we had entered the ranch. We spent the day on motorcycles and he showed me where not to go and I freaked out when he showed me how easy it was to get killed in the outback. Everywhere we went and got off the bike he told me to watch the trees and where you walk. But the ranch had everything and lots of good food. The Scenery and the animals are incredible.
She is russian nazi girl. Report her
Australia it's called a station not a ranch.
These videos are brilliant in every way, such a pleasure to watch!
loved hearing your impression of Australia. Glad you enjoyed your time here. 🙂
Hi Eli, have been really enjoying your videos. Delighted that you've come to Australia and you're enjoying. Being a first generation Aussie, of Russian parents, I was interested to hear that you may consider Australia as a possible home. And yes we do know how blessed we are to have this lifestyle.
Privet
Vania 🤗
'Consider Australia?' Can she choose? I'm British, Britain hasn't invaded a neighbouring democratic country, and is home to many Australians. We have been linked and allied countries for centuries. British people cannot just go and live in Australia if they fancy it.
@@emilydavison2053 1.2 million people who were born in the UK are residents in Australia.
We have 6 seasons and sometimes 4 in one day. There are beautiful red and yellow Autumns and Snowy Winters and glorious springs .. we have it all ❤
Hi Eli from an Ozzie born and bred , just so you know our country is so vast that you can live here your whole life and still not see everything , definitely would be lovely to see you return someday and explore many more places , glad you enjoyed your stay , peace 🙏
Because ruzzia has occupied lots of lands that belong to other nations. And most of the rest is too cold anyway.
@@SextonSounds which lands does Russia occupies, that belongs to other nations?
I think a Russian knows the meaning of vast country better than us 😊
Try Tasmania. Not much in the way of frozen lakes, but it still gets pretty bloody cold if you're a fan of winter! I grew up in Sydney, lived in Melbourne for a while and finally settled down here. A much slower pace.. kinda more like rural areas of oz. Great food and people. The shops do close here super early of course ;)
I come from Ukrainian stock, so instinctively love four seasons and a bit of snow (not so much to stop life but enough to be pretty :) ), so I love it down here in Ballarat, Victoria. Our snow isn't regular but the snowfields are only a few hours drive away if you need it. In fact, everything from snow to deserts, rainforests to rolling green fields, are all within a day trip of Ballarat. It makes a great starter city to land in & get a feel for what sort of country you want to live in, before making your permanent move.
Eli is adorable. It's cute seeing Russian outside their homeland.
True, but not always😂
Definitely. But only if they are unarmed and are women
Yes ,we are very, very privileged but most Australians are blissfully unaware of how wonderful this country is,it's taken for granted.
Also the very secular attitude is killing us
@@aussiedanny28au15What garbage.
youre spot on.

@@jenifferschmitz8618What part of Alice Springs 😂 they average some of the highest temperatures in Australia annually. Just short of central Australian temperatures.
Come back any time ! hope you enjoyed your stay
Really glad you enjoyed your time here :) I hope one day you return. All cities are nice and have something different to offer. One day you have to drive from Perth to Melbourne, onto the ferry, around Tasmania then back onto the Ferry and upto Melbourne, Sydney Brisbane and see your friends again. :) Don't worry about snakes. They are more afraid of you than you of them. Just make noise, keep your wits about you and be a little careful. Best wishes and safe journey.
Cool video. You should have come to New Zealand 😊
Eli! Australia has seasons! Winter is freezing here! It’s currently 2 degrees Celsius in the mornings here in Adelaide
She's such a darling. Very educated. She now knows probably more about Australia than most Australians. 😅
???
Doubt that.
Huh? I'm a complete tard and I knew everything.
Actually, she got a few things about Australia wrong, and nothing was new information to any Australian who has lived here for at least a year….
If you want the seasons just go to Melbourne, Adelaide or Perth! We have 4 of them every year here in Adelaide.
I just found your channel and I love it. I’m Australian and I always find it hilarious the cultural differences. My ex sister-in law is German and many things you’re saying she said the same. She was here for a few years before she moved back to Germany.
We get all the seasons. Autumn is so beautiful in Victoria and our winters down here are pretty cold too. It’s definitely not hot all year round but you have to watch out for UV rays, even when the sun isn’t out, you have the chance of getting sunburnt.
I’m fair skinned and people from overseas can’t comprehend how I don’t tan-genetics. I turn lobster because of my families Irish and Scottish ancestry. Which is the case for a lot of Australians.
I can see how people from Europe and North America think that Australia is “so far away.” But once you’ve lived here for a while, and spend time going to places like Indonesia (there’s far more to it than Bali), Singapore, Vietnam, Fiji, Vanuatu, New Caledonia, French Polynesia, New Zealand (it’s far more different from Australia than most Europeans would think), or gone diving in the Solomon Islands, it doesn’t seem “far away” at all. It’s just close to a very different part of the world.
I think I would prefer New Zealand..
Well said Richo. Australia is very far from Europe/Americas/Africa but it’s also close to Asia and the Pacific Islands.
Fiji, Vanuatu, Tahiti are paradise. NZ is very different and I think as an Australian, more beautiful with its amazing mountains and countryside. Parts of NZ remind me of The Alps in Europe.
@@josephj6521 I've seen most of Aus and a lot of NZ. There is definitely a much wider range of climates and landscapes in Australia, plus city and cultural options NZ can't really compete with. My favorite locations are Tasmania, the Red Centre and the Top End. They are all totally unique.
In fact there is a circle that can be drawn on a map over Asia, in which more than 50% of the world’s population lives. Australia is on the edge of where most of the world lives.
@@Richo732 Favourite parts of Tasmania?
Just LOVE the Russian English😂😂😂😂 Excellent presentation. Well thought out - 👏👏👏👏👏
03:15 that is a striking imagine. I have never seen a picture of a cruise ship close-in in an urban environment. That thing is just huuuge, it's like the size of one of those skyscrapers laid out horizontally.
3 redhead in a row! haha you found your tribe Eli! thats so funny and cute
Great review of our country Eli! I've enjoyed watching your travel videos. If you thought some places in Australia are remote ... you should check out the state of Western Australia, which covers 1/3 of the country's land mass. The capital city Perth is smaller than the big cities such as Sydney and Melbourne, but it still has a "country" feel to it where it is not uncommon for people to say "g'day" to you when passing them in the suburban streets. The "slip slop slap" mnemonic slogan was started in the 1980s (I was a teenager back then) to raise awareness about skin cancer, where it stood for SLIP on a long sleeve shirt, SLOP on some sunscreen, and SLAP on a hat - essentially to cover your exposed skin as much as possible. Yes, the sun here is very harsh! You should consider becoming a resident here, we're very welcoming and you won't regret it! Cheers!
This is my favorite episode of yours that I’ve seen thus far.
Thank you for visiting my beautiful country Eli. I’m glad you enjoyed it and that you survived the wildlife. Hopefully more Russians will visit. I’d love to visit Russia some day. Cheers mate
As long as the Putler-regime reigns in Russia every single cent which is spent by people visiting Russia finances the war against Ukraine. Slava Ukraini, free Russia from its terrorist government, wake up Russian people!
_'Hopefully more Russians will visit.'_ Is that meant to be funny?
Why don't you visit Russia now then?
@@SirAntoniousBlock Silly comment. So you don't want people visiting because they're from a particular country
@@johnchrysostomon6284 Oh I guess you didn't hear what happened when the Russians visited Ukraine?
Anyway I thought they were supposed to be sanctioned.
@@johnchrysostomon6284Were you actually not expecting a comment like this? Come on, now. You give people too much credit.
Glad you're enjoying Australia so much, even if our cafes often close by 3pm 😅 BTW we do have distinct seasons in the south of the country - Canberra, Melbourne and Hobart, for example - with lots of autumn leaves. Not much snow though, unless you go to places like Mt Buller, Mt Kosciuszko, Thredbo etc.
I live in rural alpine Australia and we have wild deer, kangaroos, echidna and wombats all wandering around our property with the domesticated animals most days. I've lived and travelled all over the world and while I've loved other places for all the reasons you said, I was glad to come home as we are all the way down here with new Zealand and we like it that way. So glad you had a great visit.
It is so interesting to hear a native Russian say they can't live without the winter. I wonder what percent agree with Eli, and what percent are sick to death of the winter :)
for me, as a Russian, winter is also the best time of the year, but I also have friends who want to live all their lives on the shores of the warm sea, so I think it's 50/50😊❤
The definition is what is winter to many. I live in northern New Mexico.....winter is cool with some snow and lasts 8-9 weeks. That is winter enough for me.
@@Sheqeer-w2n
why don't they imegrate to southern russia like Sochi
this ex german is quite happy to live without winter and happy to be far away
I'm American (partial Ukrainian descent) and I'm from Pennsylvania. As much as the Winter can suck sometimes, I feel it be weird to live somewhere without 4 seasons, at least to some extent.
I’m glad you enjoyed Australia. I love the snow so I’ve always wanted to go to Europe or North America. I would like to see the Russian/Siberian wilderness. One thing we don’t really have in Australia is huge mountains.
I so enjoyed your take on Oz. I can see that this could be a future home for you if things are right. thanks Eli. xx.
If you want winter, go to the snowy mountains 5 hours south of Sydney. You would think it was canada in winter. Australia has 4 seasons, you just need to travel to see it.
Lol... like a Canadian winter? Are you sure? My kids get a snow day from school when -40C hits because that's when bus axel grease freezes.
Haha, definitely not like Canada! Ski resorts in Aus have problems to get enough snow in winter to operate. It's more like: You do get SOME snow in Aus, a fact people might be unaware of.
Plus a few ski resorts. Although people who want to have a better skiing holidays (and can afford it, obviously), go to New Zealand.
Это было интересно! Спасибо!) Мне тоже по душе такая застройка. Урбанистика - это очень важно. Малоэтажная застройка, наличие зелени, широкая дорога (и это в крупных городах!) очень сильно влияют на жизнь людей в долгосрочной перспективе. Столько света, ярких красок...вот и улыбаются все!)))
People are nice, because you are nice, keep your beautiful attitude to life.
Come to France Eli, it is your dream :p life's too short ! Bienvenue !
i love the aussie people. was there in th 90s...lived in hawaii for 4 years.
the aussie government is another story, i know u avoid politics, but its hard to avoid forces that are destroying our civilization. free..feeedom...very complicated word these days.
As an actual Australian living in Australia I’m wondering what freedoms I have supposedly lost 🤔
@@mrscuteasfreedom of the press, freedom of speech, privacy...for starters.
@@mrscuteas I think it’s lost in translation, maybe they’re talking about Russia. Hawaii is part of the USA.
@@mrscuteasmen’s behaviour changes and whatnot cause our government is a man hating feminist joke. All good but if they decide to start a war with china or something stupid they’ll know exactly what to do us! Awful country as far as government goes as it is today utterly pathetic.
I love that you can say Melbourne properly. Good onya.
You are a delight to watch and it’s great to hear your perspectives.
I'm glad you were made welcome. time spent in the country would help you understand why there seems a great divide between the Ausie country folk and city dwellers. yes, the country may have way more deadly animals, but you learn to live with them. but the bush is an amazing place to live and the people generally are so friendly that you can't walk past someone without saying g'day. I've lived in both city and bush, the latter i couldn't dream of leaving now.
The redheads and the skin cancer go together 😀 The land scapes and way of life of Southeastern Australia are similar to here in Southern California but perhaps more humid with a more European vibe
The people are radically different than media brainwashed united-statians for sure.
Good on you. Wish to see you back in Sydney. All the best.
As a Sydney expat living in Canada, I'm just tickled pink that you enjoyed Australia so much! 🦘
Maybe you should commute between Oz and Russia, even if it's a rather a long flight.
I found that I really only learned to appreciate Oz after I moved away. But up here we do have snow and frozen lakes (ours hasn't frozen in a few years, presumably thanks to climate change) and I also find winter my favorite season. The locals think I'm crazy moving away from 40C summers and mild winters and to be honest I do miss Oz sometimes. I'm probably due to go down for a visit sometime soon.
Thanks again for such generous and broad coverage Eli. I've enjoyed you work - especially in Australia - immensely.
Oo roo mate.
Nice comment but I have one, minor, correction for you to consider. It should be "hoo roo". I remember my grandfather saying it that way here in Queensland. Hoo roo then!
Almost everyone who resides in a cold climate thinks 40C days sound great until they actually experience them. Large areas of Australia are far too hot for far too much of the year, unfortunately.
