Videos on trips done around the world from 1990... Still in the making by digitalizing old analogic tapes, cut and edited to become presentable. Still hours of video to exhume and a lot of job to do!
I lived and worked in Sydney from 1956 to 1984 and after that used to visit on a monthly basis for work until 1993. That video brings back a >>lot<< of memories.
Great to see the uniquely amazing busker India Bharti (at 0.27 sec) playing his very own Bhartiphone. There were some classic buskers in Sydney 30 years ago.
Indeed and Thanks for your input... First minute or so is Melbourne - was on the same tape when I digitalized the film and I did not realize until editing was done...
It felt like things were getting better in the nineties. Sure there were still problems but the majority of people were good people who didn't really give a shit if you were gay, straight, black ,yellow etc. If you saw someone with died hair etc you thought, thats cool and had a chat with them, now? We laughed at ourselves and everone else. It felt like we were coming together. The media and politicians weren't pushing division and hatred simply because you had a difference of opinion. What happened?
I think the same thing. My opinion is that division was cultivated by political interest/activist groups who were losing power due to social advancements being made. The fact we were starting to get along and "live and let live" meant there were fewer agendas to push, and all that sweet NGO money started having fewer places to go. So inflammation became necessary. Also, politics only benefits from division and 'us against them' narratives. And everything got compounded and intensified via the internet and social media, and media conglomerates who lost their monopoly on information. I was a teen in the 90s and I distinctly remember the prevailing social outlook was about celebrating common humanity, looking outward, and getting over yourself and trying to do your best. Now it's about aggressively insisting on difference, fixedly looking inward and making identity sacrosanct, and holding society accountable for your failures. Whatever the reasons are for the culture shift, I hate it.
By 1995 (the year the Internet took off but smart phones still 12 years away) things had changed quite a lot...1990 was a good year. Cheers from the Hunter Valley (ex Balmain)!!!
Thanks for the memories. I left China in 1983 and haven’t been back since. But what was shown here probably isn’t too different from 1983. What nostalgia. And to think how much it has changed since then. Amazing. Looking forward to visiting the land of my birth.
@@user-uq6gi6yy3n overcrowded, overpriced,over policed,locked gates in places where you used to freely roam, smile at someone and they think your a creep, Division being pushed, nue Vue racism is rife, fees being charged in places that used to be free , public areas privatised, I can go on but it will get me down. The best thing I ever did was to leave that s..t hole and go north. Unfortunately heaps of dicks have now followed and want to change it to the place they left. Plenty more I could tell U.
How do you make the videos in great quality? Amazing channel you have, fantastic to see what Asia was like back in the nineties! Especially during my time in Hong Kong (1999 to 2010)
That's the China I lived in when I was a foreign student in Beijing. I remember Guangzhou exactly like this. I love that old China, and the new China too. Gotta loooove China🇨🇳!
