Hi there! I'm Hemal from the UK but living in Sydney, Australia. I'm here to share my interests to provide value and to have fun in the process. Feel free to subscribe and join me on my journey.
The reason the are few African people in Australia is there was a policy of White Immigration. During the late 1980s the Immigration Policy opened up. So people from the usual first world economy's of Asia, Singapore, South Korea and what was Hong Kong (British) came in large numbers. Others followed from the Philippines. The Vietnamese and Cambodians came at first as refugees due to the Vietnam War. Australia was in some areas a Penal Colony so there was not need to import African slaves. So there was never a black population base as in USA or Brazil etc.. Just because Australia was a member of the British Empire/Commonwealth didn't mean African countries were big trading partners or deep cultural relationships were developed.
Appreciate the real talk Hemal! This video served as a reminder to get back my YT game. I love how you mentioned giving attention to the things you love and want to do rather than the illness, which, for most people, can be procrastination. Keep growing man 🙌🏽
That’s great to know that it’s encouraged you to get back into it. You should, because you never know where it’ll take you along with your personal growth. Thanks for the support 🙂🙏🏽
At first I used to take the fish out into a small fish bowl but I think they found it too stressful so now I leave them in and add Ager after refilling with water.
Yeah they are lower. I basically find others who have already achieved high growth like other RU-vidrs, also ask my friends in the industry and briefly check out news articles and google for the past performance. I try to remain cautious if a stock is being hyped up, I prefer low risk and go with long established companies and let time go on.
Aussie here, lived 4 years in London and travelled 5 months in India. 1. I totally agree, Indian food here is okay, but rarely great. Indian food in India had 5 levels of complexity, UK sometimes had 3 levels, Australia has level 1 and way too much sugar. I'm in the burbs and occasionally we get new restaurants that start off great, but then change to be like all the other Indian fare, because that's what people expect and restaurants are a business. On the plus side, Australia has better Thai, Chinese, Vietnamese and fresh produce. This used to be more true before all the fruit and veggie barns and butchers started closing. 2. Yes, indoor living is better in the UK. I miss the theatre, museums and art galleries. And PUBS and Clubs, in particular. The theatre: my God, so many plays, so brilliant, and so cheap. When I lived in the UK I missed nature, wilderness, beaches, sun. A notable difference when you're saving money is that the best parts of Australia are free, whereas the best parts of the UK cost. I like your analysis fair, accurate and balanced.
Couldn’t agree more with everything you mentioned, 🙂 I miss theatres and concerts in the UK too amongst everything else you said. I guess we go in the direction that feels right to us at the time, and move on if need be. I’m glad to know that you’ve experienced all 3 places, it’s really interesting to know other people’s observations including yours. Thank you 🙏🏽
@hemalmistry Yeah, agree: it's very interesting to get different perspectives from people who've spent time in the same different cultures as yourself, especially with differing cultural biases. I'm Aussie with British parents and just spent several months in India because of my parents. (My parents travelled overland (mostly ofc) from England to Indonesia but spent some significant months in India in the 60s : in jail, under house arrest with a Benghal Prince, and, working with under the Brothers of Calcutta with the lepers of Kalicutt. Hot tea: Mother Teresa was a PR hungry Kardashian, without a sex tape. She only helped anyone - lepers specifically - after they converted to Christianity. The Brothers helped everyone, regardless of religion.). I don't know how you'd rate yourself, but my understanding and attachment to the various cultures is probably #2 Aussie #4 British and #10 India. Before I moved to the UK to live, when I was just an Australian born kid with two mostly UK parents and 4 English grandparents I thought I was half British. After moving to the UK, I realised I was really just an Australian who shared some peculiar habits and flavour preferences: ie. you MUST scald the teapot and dry it thoroughly before 1. Placing the loose leaves and then adding boiling water; 2. Mayonnaise is ick, salad cream is yum; vinegar makes everything taste better, like pickled anything, Branston sauce with cheese, salt + vinegar chips etc. That the British judge people based on their accent first is just like Australia, and better than any alternative.
You have some fascinating stories to tell of your parents and articulate it very well. Thanks for sharing them. I suppose you’re unique that way with a mix of cultures, which makes for an interesting person and perspective. You’ve got me thinking about myself, which I could talk more about in a future video. 🙂🙏🏽
Was looking at this and the black Apple keyboard with Touch ID. $230 is a tough pill to swallow for the Apple keyboard, albeit not even with a back light. A local electronics store was liquidating, and sold me this Logitech Mx for mac for…$60!!! Just picked it up today. Couldn’t say no to that price. So I looked up a video to see what other ppl thought of it. Great review! 👍🏻
Thanks man 🙂 I’ll have a think and consider it even though it’s a pretty simple hair routine. I just use Dr Bronners hair crème and a hairdryer on the first day of wash, I wash it every 3 days.
Hi Hemal, I just recently came across your channel, and I have to say this video is really insightful. I am a British Indian in the U.K. and travelling over shortly to Australia on a WHV. I have visited Australia a few times before and I totally agree with what you have said, and it’s nice to know others feel the same way. I’m sorry to ask this, because I just started watching your videos, but have you lived anywhere outside of Sydney? I will be travelling around WA when I arrive.
Hi, I’m glad you found it helpful and had a similar view. I lived in Perth (WA) for the first 4 months but decided to move to Sydney as it was more aligned with the lifestyle I was after. Perth is beautiful, much more laid back and everything is on a much smaller scale when it comes to markets and events, etc. it’s a very chilled out lifestyle there but I was after more things to do hence the move to Sydney. Hope that’s useful to know.
I really like how you mentioned it's great to explore and try out different things and not niche down at first. I started off doing unboxing vids then transitioned into vlogging
That’s interesting to know, I hear a lot of RU-vidrs started out doing something completely different to what they share now and it makes sense as it’s all part of self discovery of how you can help others and make a difference, along with sharing on topics that mean something to you. Hope the vlogging works out well for you as it has done for so many. 🤞🏽🙂
If you want great Indian food and you are in Sydney go to Homebush (particularly) and Harris Park, but there are good options everywhere just not as many as UK because we have lots of other options. For me whilst I enjoy the occassional Indian meal and cook some for myself, it is not my first pick, not even my second or third. Good to hear you feel at home. About the mood of the place, I found the UK a downer for the same reason you find Australia lifts you. The weather is dismal in Britain and you end up cooped up indoors. Now when I go to Europe I avoid Britain.
Thanks for the suggestions, I’ll have to check out Homebush and will be visiting Harris park again soon. Yeah everyone I know who has been back to the UK, say the same and wouldn’t want to move back for those reasons and more. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this. 🙂
As for backlighting turning on by itself I can confirm it happens the same thing with my mx keys s. I already requested a replace to amazon but at this point I'm sure they're all faulty.
MX Keys is the worst keyboard I ever used. The tips of my fingers hurt when I only type on this keyboard. I used it for two years now and I was always thinking it's me using it wrong. it can't be the keyboard, thinking because I use a keyboard drawer under the desk to lower the keyboard and hide it when I'm not using it that made my nails hurt when I type, but I was WRONG, it is the keyboard. It didn't come to my mind that I already used many types of keyboards over the years and none of those keyboard feels like I'm hitting my nails against a metal block like what I feel when I use MX keys. I hated it when I write. It hurt so much. So, what made me post this is when I noticed that when I write on windows notepad it skips letters a lot. Tried to figure out if it is the Bluetooth dongle that i use or if it's an app problem, something wrong maybe with the notepad. but after changing the keyboard, I immediately felt normal and my fingers nails didn't hurt when I write and no letters skipping what so ever. The MX is the worst keyboard I ever used. All my other keyboards feels better and write better when compared to MX keys. even the cheapest one.
Never rinse the filter under tap water. Plus you should change it to sand for your cory catfish. You need like a bio cylinder or a sponge filter for your bb and don't clean the sponge filter to often. And also a test kit
That’s a good idea to get those nutrients in. I tend to have fruit in the morning and include some salad in the day, other than that, I eat what I want.
No not cheese as it’s not plant based nor raw, I was relying on the protein in the fruit and veg which wasn’t much. I think you can use raw sprouted lentils to get extra protein.
I use the same keyboard with Windows 11 - everything works perfectly. I connected it to my macbook, but I can't change the input language. Does anyone know how to change the input language on a macbook using a Logitech MX Keys?
I did a quick google search… you could try this… In Logi Options+ software: 1. go into your keyboard settings where it presents the keyboard with the pictures of the the customizable keys - 2. Select the key you would like to reprogram to use to switch languages (I used the lock in the far right corner, because I don't need to lock my computer with the keyboard) - 3. Select "other options" and click "input language".
