For overseas bros, there are 5 boroughs of NYC, which is why the city is often referred to as The 5 Boroughs. Brooklyn to the East of Lower Manhattan, Queens to the East of Midtown and the Upper East Side of Manhattan, the Bronx to the North of Manhattan, Staten Island at the South end of New York Harbor, and of course, Manhattan in the center, with New Jersey to the West of the Hudson River being the unofficial 6th borough. Also, no, Rhode Island is not an actual island. It's its own state in New England. It's not even part of the metro area. Brooklyn and Queens are the Western tip of Long Island.
@@Destinum Nah. The Bronx has always been its own borough. It's the only borough connected to the mainland, with the mountainous Hudson Valley immediately to its North. It's famous for being the birthplace of rap/hip-hop and breakdancing. The Yankees are called the Bronx Bombers because they play in the Bronx. And back when the Giants and Dodgers were still in New York (fuck Robert Moses btw), the Giants were called the Manhattan Bombers because they played in the Polo Grounds right across the river from Yankee Stadium in Harlem. The nickname comes from the old time baseball cross-town rivalry. It's insane to think about after the Dodgers collab, but if it wasn't for Robert Moses being the classist, racist piece of shit monster that he was, the Dodgers would still be the Brooklyn Dodgers. When Jackie Robinson integrated baseball, he was a Brooklyn Dodger. Not an LA Dodger.
@@blurey8569 Yes. Each borough is its own county. Manhattan is New York County, Brooklyn is Kings County, Queens is Queens County, The Bronx is Bronx County, and Staten Island is Richmond County.
Fun fact: Before 9/11, the World Trade Center used to have its own zip code. 100048. But it was retired after the attacks. Today, the new WTC is part of the 10007 zip code.
To be fair, I don't think I've ever heard "east coast" or "west coast" used by an Australian to describe regions in Australia (or North or South for that matter). Maybe in a wiki entry designed for foreigners. Most Australians probably only know one city on the "west coast" anyway (Perth). The rest of WA is just outback as far as most of us are concerned.
@@AGiganticNerd I'm not saying it's used to describe Australia, but surely you're taught in school very early on what a coast is, as well as the four cardinal directions.
@@LandoCali5 they are in almost every sense, a small freshwater ocean that is comparable in size to the Mediterranean and Black Seas put together when they are combined, and Superior is quite deep too, roughly 400 meters.
I know Bae's issue is that she probably wasn't sure of the geographical locations of the cities she knows of so she tried leaning on the crutch of having her friends fill her in, but they were just like "ok, so let's take each word in "East Coast USA" and break them down" lmao. Maybe Bae just hasn't ever needed to know whether or not California is on the west side of the continent and New York closer to the eastern end of the continent. Too bad Australians can't fall back on the old tried and true "oh, so that's what it's called in English"
Bae is not only not American, she lives practically on the opposite side of the entire planet to New York (well okay, the antipode of New York is miles off the west coast of Australia near Perth but near enough)
To be fair to Bae, while Aus does have an East Coast and a West Coast, the West Coast only really has one major city in it, while the East Coast has the three bigger cities of the country. So we don't pay attention to the West Coast, like, ever.
I've had similar moments of confusion. Particularly in regards to the term "east asian countries". Asia is already categorized as east in my mind, so it's like hearing "east east". Also I don't think I've literally ever heard something refer to "west asian countries".
Asia is huge so in my experience it usually gets broken down into the Middle East, Central Asia, the Indian subcontinent/South Asia, East Asia and South-East Asia. Middle East is what we tend to say instead of West Asia.
Bae is actually right though. The Statue of Liberty is a building. The torch even has a balcony that wraps around the flame. There's stairs inside, it's hollow. The base is a souvenir shop if I remember correctly. I don't think they let tourists up there anymore though.
Russia has Europe to the West... Canada and the US share the same coastline basically (North America). And what do you mean big enough? Like geography? Or cities? Because there are others. India would be a good example. Any island nation basically.
@TheGreatMaou clearly im including america in this but what other countries have active population centers and are large enough to touch 2 different oceans on either side. Use your brain next time smart ass.
@@broadbandislife Speaking as a Canadian, no Canadian would ever identify themselves as American. Even saying you're North American isn't really a thing culturally, not in the way that being European is anyway.
@@broadbandislife When someone says "American", they're 100% referring to US stuff. Never to anything else. Even those using "Americas" to define North and South America.

So is these Borough an official administration level under NYC?

Australia has an east and west coast too. This is just basic geography...

While we do it's not terminology we would often say. We tend to refer things by state.
Never heard anybody say East Coast or West Coast. We're an island, each state has a coast so it's redundant to say coast, I guess.
@@onii-chandaisuki5710 it might depend where you live but it is generally pretty common language, perth's AFL team is even called west coast eagles
@@AGiganticNerd I'm not saying it's used to describe Australia, but surely you're taught in school very early on what a coast is, as well as the four cardinal directions.
Relate it back to Australia: Brisbane is east coast, Perth is west coast.
Ina and Kiara are not Australian enough to do that
USA east or Australian east?
But in her GeoGuessr game with AZKi, Bae had to stop and think about what part of the country Darwin is in...
@@thegemguy1334 🇦🇺🙃🙂🇺🇸
Is Sydney also considered East Coast?
To be fair, theres also a lot of folks in the states that dont know much either despite living in the U.S their entire life
Yeah but nobody expects anything better from Borgarlords in the first place =3=
Yeah, and they deserve the ridicule too.
It's okay. XQC once said middle coast referring to Chicago game servers
i mean, chicago has a coast, with beaches and everything.
A lake, even a Great Lake doesn't make you a coastal city. Closest you'd be is a lake town. 😂

Korean-Canadian same as Kronii
@@broadbandislifewooow😳😮
It is kind of a not-so-secret secret. She doesn't directly say it but she has screwed up with a few Canada-isms, especially early on.
She has mentioned in her watchalong's like watching on Netflix-Canada when people were asking for what app and what region etc...
@@judgegrumble Meanwhile when Kronii explicitly revealed her Canadian...ship? ...hood? her chat basically went "yeah we kinda figured" :P
To be fair to Bae, while Aus does have an East Coast and a West Coast, the West Coast only really has one major city in it, while the East Coast has the three bigger cities of the country. So we don't pay attention to the West Coast, like, ever.

For a zoomer that gets all her memes from the US. Bae is surprisingly dense. 😂

The East Coast is Sydney & The West Coast is Perth

After the X-Men had an epic battle that damaged the Statue of Liberty, I don't blame NYC for closing it.
It's ok. She only knows North and South Australia. Cause why are they 2 different things?!? 🤔
