If you notice on the video, the way the chap fills the sink with the bucket, he's imparting a direction to the water, so it will spin whichever way he wants it to. 
The Coriolis effect?
It exists, but only has an effect on weather systems, hurricanes etc.
Its a myth that water will flow in opposite directions depending what hemisphere you are in. I was on another forum and this was debated....So I tried it myself, and my bathroom sink flows in the opposite direction to my kitchen sink
The flow depends on sink bowl shape, which tap filled it, how long the water has been stood still, how the plug was lifted etc etc.

Alarm its no yolk 
snico he uses the same bowl
How long was the water still in the first bowl?
Watch how he pours the water in the next 2 bowls
Do you honestly think that the coriolis effect, which does effect storms and weather patterns, will effect a small bowl 10ft either side of the equator?
yep it part of the eotvos effect (high school science)
