From the video it looks like he spent most of his time in Sydney. Sydney is expensive but $9 beers is probably club or high end bar prices. And $40 isn’t mid range restaurant prices. The classy pub near me has the most expensive meal at $25.

We have a lockout in Adelaide but it’s only in the central business district so u can’t enter a venue after 3am and last call is at 5am but this law doesn’t apply in the suburbs

If you have friends or loved ones you can stay with it helps a ton. I'm lucky that I have someone to stay with. Still getting great food and my pick of as many Australian made ciders as I can find. I didn't need to go to the tourist traps and I enjoyed just living everyday life in an Australian household.

Sporti g events and city bars and clubs are expensive but it’s not as expensive as he makes out. And I don’t get what he’s talking about either with the lock out laws. And number 10 I like, cause the footy stadium he’s at is my local for the Penrith Panthers current back to back champions 👍🏻and my local train station too lol also thanks for the shoutout 👍🏻

Probably not the best video to watch. This bloke “stuffs up a lot of things). Tristan Kuhn (American backpacker) put out some decent entertaining stuff that Americans would find relatable, interesting and informative.
@jamussmyth1612 Жыл бұрын
The “lockout law” was the presenters fuck up. You can get into drink, you just can’t do a “pub crawl/bar hop” after certain hours i.e can only get in before say 1am, but you could leave whenever you want. But then you can’t get into another pub. It was designed to stop a heap of pissheads roaming the streets and getting into fights. It’s since been scrapped.

@@peterdubois65 Yep. Both Tristan and Brianne (although coming from totally different angles) would be right up Squirrels alley. And probably Isaac Butterfield on the same subject. The one that Squirrel reacted to is one of the worst on KZfaq, but for some reason most KZfaqrs tend to pick it (probably because of the number of views I suspect). It’s rubbish.

You can eat much cheaper than this guy is saying but prices can vary widely. I don't tip for service period, nor do I know anyone who does. It is expected that for the wages they're paid, a reasonable standard of service is offered. I've actually had a restaurant waiter apologise when the swipe card reader asked me to input a tip amount. I also had a local restaurant guy ask if I was going to leave a tip and I replied "I'm a local and live just up the road - that's a bit cheeky isn't it?" and again got an apology!

The lockout laws only applied to Sydney and I think they have relaxed them you could drink till 3am you couldn't bar hop after 1.30 and those clubs are also where you get stitched up $9 for a beer that's not pub price more like S6 depending on where you are, haven't seen fosters for sale in a bottlo for more than 30 years, the guys who recommended XXXX are from Queensland not a bad beer Cheers

Gday Squirrel. Thanks for the clip. Possibly close to the mark for naive tourists. A chat with a local will steer you in the right direction. Australia would be left with only a few wowsers if a beer cost $9! Streuth, why stay? Immigration? Talk about anything you like, it's OK. Who confronts people with this question though?

A rich American tourist who votes Democrat talks this way. The dude was probably in Sydney for a week with Mummy and Daddy paying the tab. “Don’t stray from the path”. FMD. How about not paying $9 for a beer, you wanker.

I went to a council event with food trucks, Asian to Greek, pizza to chip-on-a-stick. The cheapest thing was a small portion of chips, $7. Large chips, $14. Small wood fire pizza, $18. Karaage chicken and rice, $18. I thought food trucks were meant to be cheaper alternatives to restaurants.

Food trucks are 'specialty' outlets, so you'll pay a premium. The cheap food from a truck is not really a part of Australian culture. Particularly when you're at an event, prices will be exorbitant.

Yes we have things that are deadly or dangerous but very rarely people have died. 🙄 You get bitten, stung or what ever we have antidotes for it. Lockout laws don't exist now in Sydney. Stopped that a year ago but the damage is done now as Sydney night life is dead. It's not what it was like before the lockout laws they put in few years back after several people got king hit from drunks and they either got serious injuries or worst died.

Its not as expensive as they make out if you show just a little injenuity. If you want to throw money at every problem you face it will cost, like anywhere else. OH his $100 a day is around $65 US a day. Aaaaand the main reason most Aussies dont buy from the US is cost of shipping, so much more expensive than say, Russia, Afganastan and China. Coopers Red is not a bad drop before you go into the Craft styling beer. Honestly a major percentage of Australians are happy to see people immigrate here but not all are happy about how the government handles this issue, I am in this percentage, I love Indian food and I love Kebabs, Lol. OH YER... F#C* you Squirrel get your ass over here, tell the missus its a research deployment and promise a pet Koala to the kids.....Whatever it takes mate.
