maybe (because she said they were all from restaurants) they were canned or frozen veggies? I don't think she knows the logistics of bringing in farm fresh to metropolitan eateries or large chains, and is expecting that it's picked fresh🤔
A "strip mall" isn't a mall full of strippers. It's a long building that is separated into individual storefronts, usually with parking directly in front. It's literally a "strip" of mall (stores). Very common for "car culture."
having said all that, did you not see the La Quinta Inn next to the Hooters? If that isn't a literal definition of Strip Mall, I don't know what to say to appease people who are just different. :D :D :D
"Mustang, Camaro, Tomato, tomato." Oh, my dear friend. No no nono. You are a Ford Mustang fan, or a Chevy Camaro fan. And ne'er shall the twain meet. And there's no such thing as too much syrup, even if it's corn syrup and not maple syrup.
NOT SAME CAR! YIKES!!! My first car was a Mustang and dad was a Ford employee ... We don't EVER mention Chevy unless it is to point at the car left on the side of the road 😆
Just to let you know crayons in the US are not toxic. They are just beeswax and some type of food grade dye. The only difference is how thick the wax is. Crayola tends to be thicker to stand up to schoolwork and hard children’s play. Roseart tend to be thinner for art projects and lighter work. The target audience is what you want. Crayola is the standard kids brand of crayons. Roseart is for old kids or adults. America cultivates bees for honey mostly but beeswax and bee pollen are byproducts that we found useful. Beeswax can be melted down for all sorts of things including the lost cast process where a single piece of wax is used to create a mold and you can copy that mold over and over, shaping metal sometimes you need to do a lost casting. Beeswax is useful in thousands of products that you may not be aware of.
Sometimes in America we want something different for Dinner. So we will make a big breakfast meal for supper. Eggs, Bacon, Sausage, Grits, Hash-browns, Toast with jam and Pancakes.
@@european-reactsHey man, another great video. I think you accidentally forgot to post the link in the description. I never have actually went to a link from reaction videos before but I want to show some appreciation for this video to the original creator! (Unless you did put it in, then I am blind) lol
Vegetables in November- it depends on where they are coming from. If they are out of season in the US, then they may be coming from Mexico or South America and sometimes the flavor is different. You have to go to a good local farmer’s market in Spring and summer and you will get fantastic veggies!
LA + San Diego are about 23 million people. California is about 39 million - a decently sized country. There is both a lot of wealth and a lot of poverty, it depends on the city and depends even more on the neighborhood. It would be dishonest to say those problems don’t exist; but they’re certainly not the full story. There is plenty to enjoy in California: enormous cities, beautiful nature, mild weather, diverse people, a huge and dynamic economy, delicious food, and tolerant attitudes. Cost of living is high but so are the salaries. There’s a reason more Americans have chosen to live there than anywhere else.
For some reason, California is the only state you have to compliment with conditions. Like, no one can say anything nice about it unless you put it down first. Meanwhile, we have certain states (you know who you are) making laws that allow companies to deny water breaks to construction workers during heatwaves and offer bounties for information on women seeking abortions.
But as government regulates more and more, taxes more and more, increases energy costs more and more, all this is in danger. There is a reason businesses are leaving the state, and oddly Governor Brown accused Texas of poaching California businesses. California is DRIVING those businesses out, and Texas is one state it makes sense to move to. Try starting a business in this state, you'll see how difficult it is. OTOH, a family that had a dairy in this state moved their entire herd from California to Tennessee and went from struggling to thriving. Same herd, same people running, different tax and regulatory structure, and that made all the difference.
@@Anon54387 businesses leave for Texas because Texas is anti-worker and anti-environmentalist. They basically give you free-rein to pollute and treat your workers like slaves. Just look at the bill that makes it so businesses don’t need to offer water breaks for construction workers. Even before the law, Texas led the nation in worker-related deaths from heatstroke. Tesla had something like 5x the amount of worker injuries as every other car manufacturer in the US combined. California started to crack down on them and instead of abiding by worker protection laws, Elon moved some production to Texas…and then came back to California because in-demand, specialist employees don’t want to live in Texas. Also, isn’t it funny how the narrative has been that Texas recruits businesses to leave other states, yet you never hear about how business start in Texas?
California, as a state, has a greater population than the WHOLE country of Canada! As of May 20, 2024, Canada has a population of 39,069,250, while California has a population of 39,128,162
My mom had a Charger. Ugliest avacado green I ever saw. Dad had a Camaro and my PaPa bought me an older Mustang for my graduation. He was such an instigator. The look on my dad's face was something I'll never forget. Total betrayl. He got his revenge though. That car left me stranded along side the road more times than I can count. Lololo
When a people order coffee, it’s not uncommon that the waiter pours the first cup of coffee out of a carafe and then leaves the carafe on the table. Note the background in this diner. 4:37
Los Angeles is a car city. You can't get anywhere without a car. It's just a fact of life. We live in our cars and we're not giving them up. We may have hybrids and electrified cars now, but we're not giving up our cars. We love our cars in LA. Like the like the song by Missing Persons, "no body walks in L.A." 😉
LA is like that because it's such a young city compared to other large American cities (already young compared to Europe!) Prior to the advent of widespread car ownership LA wasn't very big.
If she wanted a walkable neighborhood she should have picked one. Los Angeles is huge, and is the American city with the highest rate of household car ownership, pushing 90%. Even in LA there are neighborhoods where you can walk to a lot of things. She didn’t do her homework when picking her location.
She's not anywhere near Downtown Los Angeles. She out near the beaches. The City of Los Angeles, and Los Angeles County are NOT the same thing. She might be in Los Angeles COUNTY, but not in the CITY.
Im from California, but to say you visited America when all you did was go to LA is kinda goofy. This also goes for the car they chose. A Mustang EcoBoost is not an accurate representation of an American car. Just because it has the Mustang badge doesn't mean it's a muscle car. The true American experience would be to do a road trip across the US, you cant experience America if you just stay in a big city. Things to do could be watching a sports game like baseball or football or going to some racing event like a drag race or NASCAR. Of course, you have to go to a gun range, but #1 dont go to an indoor range, and #2 dont go to a range in either California or New York, that's where everyone goes. If you're in California, visit one of the National Parks or Forests, also try In N Out or the local Mexican food. Theres a lot of things to do in the entirety of the US, i think its just funny when Europeans or other foreigners visit LA and label it as their America trip.
I know as a person who is from upstate NY. all of these Europeans or other foreigners travel to the US. It just everything from movies. they need to go to somewhere else
So true. There is so much to see all over the place and LA isn't somewhere I would want to visit, mainly because I am not fond of large cities. I know many people do prefer them and that is OK.
It appears she didn't even go to LA. She went to Orange County which is kind of an in joke in California for being a scrubbed, lily white, upscale characterless suburb, mostly (but not entirely) wealthy and conservative.
@@leahmollytheblindcatnordee3586 People prefer large cities because in nearly all of them in Europe and many in the US, they are dense population centers and walkers' paradises where there's so much to see and do just depending on your feet, public transit and the occasional cab or Uber. LA is different. LA is vastly spread out with an almost irrelevant center. If they want that kind of city in California, they should come to San Francisco. Many times I've heard European visitors remark that to them it seems European because it IS one of those dense walking cities. It's hard for me to imagine the point of travel if you don't like cities. Almost all of any nation's cultural attractions, dining opportunities and everything else are in its cities. You can, I suppose, travel just to see the varied manifestations of nature, but to me that seems to be missing an awful lot that distinguishes one culture from another.
Creamer = the flavored chemical feast that comes in the little pods. As far as I’ve ever seen, the rest of the world - and much of the US - uses an actual dairy product like milk or cream.
13:45 Those houses range from ~$4 - 15M. While the location is great, they are super tiny, and restricted on height due to local building codes, so they aren't worth as much as a bigger house that is located more inland. As for safety being that close to the water, the coast line doesn't face a lot of natural disaster risk. California has a ton of fault lines, resulting in a lot of earthquakes. However, these fault lines are mostly on land, and not in the ocean, so there isn't much of a tsunami risk. In fact, we're at more risk of tsunamis from Japan or Alaska than directly off our own coast. Hurricanes are extremely rare since the ocean current along the west coast runs north-to-south, bringing colder water down from Alaska and making it harder for warm-weather storms to form. We did just get hit by one this last year that came up from Mexico, but tbh, LA barely got rain, let alone a full storm surge. So, these houses are relatively safe.
WRT the vegetables tasting "plastic": remember that this was filmed in November, so most of the produce was shipped from far away, most likely South America. It was probably sitting in refrigerated warehouses, shipping containers and trucks for a shockingly long time as well, before it was put on display at the store. So while it technically counts as "fresh" produce, it is actually far from being that.
Andre, one can never have enough syrup. The problem is that you Europeans don't use enough. Syrup soaks into everything you use it on, so you gotta use a liberal amount.
That was not too much syrup. It was too much breakfast but they seemed to enjoy it. Why such big cars? 1. Safety They are easier to see in heavy traffic. Small cars get lost from view. They withstand a crash with less damage than small cars. 2. Convenience Since things are so far apart many people try to do all their shopping in one trip. Large cars can hold the children, the groceries, the clothing, the plants for the garden or whatever is needed in this trip. 3. Comfort
I lived near the beach in Massachusetts, the water sometimes isn't the issue, but sand storms are the worst, grit in your hair and skin!! You should do a video sometime to show us your country, I'd be wanting to do that.
The neighborhood she was walking through to get to Target ( 17:19 ) was a very average neighborhood in Los Angeles. Many of the homes in established areas like this have citrus trees in their backyards - oranges, lemons, etc. Southern California, including the inland valleys, produces a good proportion of the country’s fruits and vegetables. California oranges are readily found in Publix grocery stores in the Southeast.
Things about America you should remember. The pancakes at restaurants are far thicker and bigger in diameter than you make at home. You need more syrup than you think. Full stack is 3 pancakes Half stack is 2 pancakes A half&half is one Buiscuit and an order of hashbrowns covered in sausage gravy. A B&G is 2 Buiscuits and sausage gravy. An "egg mess" is hashbrowns with 2/3 eggs scrambled in with meat and veggies of your choice. The Target near me is a Super Target. Its near Granger, which is rich people area so the store has elite foods in it.
A regular mall is a huge number of stores together and usually on multiple floors, one above the other. A strip mall is a smaller group of stores on one floor.
I lived in Southern California for five years in the late 80’s-90’s. Oceanside and North Hollywood. The best memories I have are driving on a beautiful, sunny day, with ocean views and palm trees along the streets. The weather there is perfect. We could sit in our swimsuits, getting a tan in March.
The layout thing is because it (Los Angeles) is newer. If you go to cities that are very old (by American standards) on the east coast, roads are twistier and there are little quirks everywhere. An ancient path worn by migrating deer and buffalo would in later centuries become toll roads that were paved in split logs, which only with the advent of automobiles would become public paved roads, and those paved roads would twist around historic properties. But the further west you go, the less history there is (as long as you ignore the fact that Native Americans have been there for millennia), and so cities are much more likely to be laid out in a strictly rectilinear fashion.
We live in Baltimore, Maryland which is more expensive than say Georgia, but California is at least 5x more than here!! A $200,000.00 house here would cost about $450,000.00 in California....also the land is very small lots. Plus, I love Marylands landscapes. Mountains, cities, rural areas, etc. And we enjoy all 4 seasons with changes of color in the leaves etc. during the autumn and fall, it's absolutely beautiful 😍❤️
If that was a stack of 3 or 4 (full stack is 4) pancakes, then that looked to be about the perfect amount of syrup actually lol. Really been enjoying these videos/getting a foreigners perspective on American culture. Keep it up man, much love from Indiana!
California isn't the East Coast. Cities on the East Coast were over 200 years old when cars were invented. Cars predate most of Los Angeles. There really wasn't very much around that area until the 20th Century. Los Angeles was BUILT for cars.
A lot of breakfast places are open 24 hours. It’s because they are near hospitals or places that need to stay open. There are a couple of breakfast places near my local hospital which is crazy when doctors are off shifts. They literally just have time to grab a meal and go home to sleep that’s it. Don’t ask because i just know. Especially when they have the 72 hour on call shifts. Those are crazy. I did food deliveries to the hospital before to both doctors and patients. It was fricking crazy. The entire emergency department would order all at once and the orders filled the entire trunk of the SUV plus the back seat. Although I did get a nice tip out of it.
NOTE TO EUROPEANS : Everything the the US is exactly the right size for North America !! Americans don't GIVE A DAMN that you think out cars are too big. It's not our fault that your countries that aren't much bigger than postage stamps.
Breakfast for dinner is a big part of being American. At restaurants like Dennys you can have pancakes and eggs at 3 in the morning, I can’t even tell you how packed they are with people at that time in places like Miami. It’s very common to go to Dennys after they leave a night club or a party. As teenagers, it was the only place we were allowed to go at 3 am and wanted Hot Chocolate and your friends parents rather you go to a 24 hour place like that instead of keeping them up banging around in the kitchen. Me and my best friend could be found at Dennys in our pajamas, or sitting on the floor of a 24 hour pharmacy in our pajamas reading all the magazines. The night manager never cared as long as we bought something (usually it was lip gloss or candy) before we left. My ex husband was a cop and we would go every day at 2am to a Dennys when he got off his shift because he needed time to decompress from duty because he didn’t want to take the stress home. Lots of eggs over easy and hash browns for me during that marriage. I'm sorry I respond to so many videos, it’s just that you always pop up at the top of my feed and if I’m full of one thing it’s information. Can’t help myself! That was WAY too little syrup btw. Also, a strip mall is a small open mall where you can pull your car up right next to which store you want to go too and they’re filled with a bunch of small businesses. One strip mall could have example Tax Attorney, 3 different restaurants, a Pharmacy, a small electronics store, small clothing boutiques a Starbucks, dry cleaner, realtor. So quick one stop shopping all in one. You have them too ours are just very wide open, with tons of parking and usually a MdDonalds or something in the back of the parking lot.
Yes Andre' pancakes are a morning thing, they are also a noon thing, a lunch thing, a dinner thing and a late night snack thing. That is NOT too much syrup! If you don't have a small pool left on your plate once the pancake is gone that you can lick up with your tongue, you did not put enough on it in the first place! LOL
I drove an MGB convertible for years ,kept it in the garage during winter and only drove it in the summer here at the beach . It was great .Our house is about 100 meters from the Atlantic Ocean and during the 53 years we have lived here we were flooded once , by hurricane Sandy when our entire island was under water because of the 17 foot high storm surge that hit us and the highest point on the island is maybe 10 feet above sea level
The houses are somewhat higher then the ocean and very rarely does the surf reach those houses. Tsunami would be a different story. I was born and raised in Los Angeles. 1 hour to the mountains, 1 hour to the desert, and 1 hour to the ocean. California is a beautiful state.
Every state has issues, but I've lived in CA most of my life and love it here...wouldn't live anywhere else and I'm only a few miles from the beach. I also don't talk bad about any state because they all have their own issues, just the way it is.
At that restaurant, it was artificial corn syrup. The 100% pure maple syrup is richer and more flavorful and a bit more expensive, but not too pricey and sometimes is found at other restaurants. I can tell the difference because the 100% pure maple syrup never, ever, ever comes in that big pour bottle. It's always in a labeled container to prove quality.
It’s normal for restaurants to serve coffee like that because of the fact that coffee is normally free refills and we love coffee in the morning and on the side of the table there’s normally like creamer, sugar, and condiments. And also you can get more than just pancake syrup. They also have blueberry syrup, apricot syrup, you know stuff like that available too. You can also get sugar-free.
As some others have said, venture out of the big cities and try elsewhere. The valley of California from Fresno north of Sacramento is one of the biggest vegetable/citrus growers of the US. We feed half of the nation in those areas (we even supply Japan with a lot of rice). November is not the season for looking for good fruits/vegetables. During the growing season, if you venture out of the big cities, you will see local farmers with fruit stands by the side of the road where things are picked fresh. After watching this video, I was in the produce section of Walmart talking to another lady (yes, the small talk). I told her about this video as we were looking at the tomatoes. There are these obviously hot house grown tomatoes that are waxy, pinkish looking that you just know, they don't have a lot of flavor. And they had a Mexico sticker on them. Then right next to them, there were these bright red juicy looking tomatoes on the vine. You could smell the difference. I can't think of one person who doesn't agree that home grown tomatoes are far superior than most you get at Walmat/Target. (maybe not so much at Whole Foods).
Car culture extends to most of the US. I was car-less for two years, and I cannot overstate how much more difficult it made my life. We’re so spread out, and public transit varies too much from place to place. 🚗
28:00 She is visiting in November. Most of the fruits and vegetables are out of season or imported from Mexico or South America so the flavors are not going to be the best.
The houses right on the beach close to 2 million for a single house. All of them owned by celebrities or higher ups in companies. These are actually vacation homes, it’s not everyday use but 3 months of the year in summer.
I feel so spoiled for living in Los Angeles. Within minutes you can have a world class experience in any sector of life. Entertainment, nature, art, food. The list of good stuff is endless. And let’s not mention how amazingly good the weather is. Everything, except the homeless issues is amazing in Los Angeles.
You're eating blackberries and strawberries in NOVEMBER for Pete's sake. Almost no kind of vegetable is in season in November. A few fruits, like tree fruits (apples, peaches, pears) may be. So you are eating stuff that was picked unripe in Chile or somewhere and shipped thousands of miles to the US. No, it doesn't taste that great but it is what it is if you want foods out of season. I suggest you try a canteloupe or other melon from the Colorado River Valley or some strawberries from Salinas or oranges from southern CA or Arizona or almost any kind of greens from the Imperial Valley or tomatoes from artisanal farms all over America when they are in season. I've been to Greece. I enjoyed the food there but I didn't find it overwhelmingly better than the best of what's available in the US.
"Mustang-Camaro . . . same car" Oh boy. Ford and GM would sure beg to differ. "The grass is always greener . . ." Not in California in summer. It's very brown. California has really superior strawberries but the season is late Spring: May/June. And LA may be a little too far south to get the best ones which come from the Salinas Valley in central California. The homeless and drug users and other unsightly stuff are mostly confined to certain areas of the downtown parts of cities. This video appears to be in the suburb of Orange County. You aren't likely to see them there. I am in downtown San Francisco bugt I've been away for almost 6 months and I'm very surprised that the city looks a lot cleaner with fewer such people than when I left. But I know where they are: The City seems to have somehow forced nearly all of them into the one neighborhood known as the Tenderloin. Unfortunately, this is adjacent to an area frequented by tourists so a lot of tourists take a wrong turn or walk in the wrong direction and come upon the scenes of degradation. Then they badmouth the whole city.
In response to your comment about the houses on the beach, California, especially Southern California get zero, and I mean ZERO major storms. There are not hurricanes, storms, or massive waves to worry about because it's geography makes it calm year round.
That wasnt a new one. That was just a regular v8 GT thats about 10 years old. And only the Dark Horse has 500hp. The rest have 390-420. And the Ecoboost v6 has 250-300.
That’s not much syrup. There are 4 or 5 pancakes there! Those pancakes will soak up the syrup. A strip mall is a line of stores shoulder to shoulder with no inside common space. No, you don’t need any membership card to shop at Target.❤️🤗🐝
Some AMERICANS drink black coffee and some add milk or cream in various flavors. Can we agree? Pancakes need a lot of syrup because it is a stack of 5 or more pancakes and they are thick and fluffy and absorb lots of syrup.
Pancakes is a whenever you want pancakes thing. I drink my coffee black, no sugar, no cream. We would love to see some of Portugal, Andre. Target got its start out west. It's more of a thing than Walmart there. No membership needed. I think the huge cars/trucks are strange too. When you get a salad in the states, it's more than likely going to be made with iceberg lettuce. It just does not have any flavor on its own. There are other greens you can make your own, much better tasting, salads with.
I ate breakfast for dinner just tonight, but I didn't make pancakes. I had fried eggs, sausages and toast. It's like a treat to have breakfast for dinner occasionally. A strip mall is a row of businesses all attached to one another in a long strip where each store has its own entrance, as opposed to a traditional mall where the stores all all inside of a single enclosed building and the stores are usually only accessible from within the mall building. It's the warehouse stores where you buy in bulk that you need to have a membership to, like Costco, BJ's, or Sam's Club. Target is like a slightly upscaled version of a Walmart.
European pancakes are often thin, in the US they’re thick and fluffy and the serving is either three or six and the pancakes absorb the syrup so you need to put a lot on. Cameros and Mustangs are both sporty “muscle cars” but most people prefer one or the other and aren’t considered interchangeable and people are usually devoted to one or the other. They are definitely not the same car, one is made by Chevrolet the other by Ford. Even if you don’t have many children, your children might be on a sports team, or some other activity where you are also driving other children so it’s convenient to have a larger vehicle. Considering a large amount of our fruits and vegetables are grown in California, if what she ate tasted “plastic” it was either out of season so imported from Mexico or Chile, or it wasn’t really market fresh, the restaurants often order produce from a food service provider. The houses are farther back from the ocean that even in a big storm waves aren’t probably going to reach the houses. It could be different of the east coast because of hurricanes. You only need a membership card at Costco or Sam’s Club.
Born and raised in California having Pancakes for dinner happened about once a month !! It was always so fun and I still love breakfast for dinner every now and then. Also!! The only she did wrong with the syrup was not having it heated first . Lots of syrup is mandatory for the ultimate Pancake experience. Always Maple! BTW.. I drove my convertible Mercedes home from work today on a Beautiful Sunny California Day in Napa California 😉
Hey! Costa Mesa!...must be a bit of an older video, that Pancake House is closed, they moved down the street. Pretty sad because that place was a landmark. Now it's a Shake Shack.
Lol.. I put a small amount of jam or preserves on each pancake.. and a small amount of syrup.. I think she used way too much as well.. but lol to each their own.You have mall. Then there is strip malls..Strip malls You don't have the indoor space with stores on both sides.. you walk around inside.. The strip mall is a lot of connecting store. There isn't a indoors walking space.. You walk around outside. Each store has their own private entrance from the outside.
I think that is a lot of syrup too. Target is free for everyone and I have shopped there in Michigan as well. It is probably in many states. Vegetables vary by place. A farmers market in the midwest is so much different, but wouldn't have been in season when she was there.
man, i disagree with the salad...ive enjoyed just about every salad ive had throughtout the parts of the US that ive been to...or maybe im just so used to to the US salads LOL
I wont play the usual Chevy Ford Debate but a Mustang is a basic common car these days they are nothing special they do have fast ones but 70% of them are basic cars. Love the reactions
The only thing I'm confused about is her complaining about things not being walking friendly but only showing places with nice sidewalks and she had zero issue walking her butt to Target. 🤷♀
She doesn't mean you can't walk there. She is used to older cities in Europe. Take New York for an American example of a pre-car city in the US. A lot of people in NY never learn to drive. Each little neighborhood has everything you need within a short walk. The Post Office, shops, park, school, etc., etc., etc., are all within a few blocks of where you live. In Europe, especially, there are tons of little plazas, cafes, and whatnot for the people in each neighborhood to hang out in. In newer American cities like LA, people either hang out inside their house or they have to go on a trip to go "do something." But in pre-car cities, you walk out your front door and live in the neighborhood. Car-centered cities have everything physically more separated and spaced out with no sense of individual, living neighborhoods, so it can feel isolating and unnatural if you are not used to it. Everything is a little island that you have to drive to.
@jameswoodard4304 I disagree. I think she was implying something that equates to differences in distance necessitating a variation in the design of transit infrastructure. I'd have to rewatch the video but to be precise but since I cba I'm just going to say she made her statements with an intentional negative slant. Also, our vegetables taste like plastic? Really? 😉
Strip malls are small sections of property that have many different types of stores all in one area from things like jewelry stores, clothing stores, restaurants, shoe store etc. Very common in the US.
Target stores do not require any cards to enter. You are thinking of a store like BiMart which is employee owned and cost a 1 x fee of $5.00 where you get a BiMart shopping card to use when entering the store to shop/=.
Please react to the (paramedic force 5 bridge creek and moore, Oklahoma tornado May 3 1999). It's the first responders response to the 1999 moore, Oklahoma F5 tornando. I currently work as an EMT with EMSA in tulsa, Oklahoma. We use this video for training new hires on mass casualty response. The camera crews riding with these ambulance crews were making a Tv show on the day and life of first responders the day moore got hit. Most people have no idea what happen in the aftermath of a tornado. This video is a great watch to understand what it takes to triage a mass casualty incident.
Part of California is beautiful, the long tedious boring horrible drive down I-5 through the Central valley is one of the worst tortures one could subject themselves to, by all means take the coast unless you're in one hell of a hurry!
Always get a kick out of someone from another country telling Americans what they should and shouldn't purchase. In this particular video, we shouldn't purchase "large cars". Whatever...
You could never have too much syrup! Those pancakes soak up all of that syrup, you have to add more at least twice during the course of eating them! And don’t forget the butter on top.
California is so big, and so many areas that it is both amazing and terrible in many ways. There is some amazing areas, amazing places, beautiful cities, towns, beaches, parks etc...as a tourist, it's so fun to go to. The downside....traffic, also in areas there is a lot of homelessness, drugs and sketchy areas. The cost of everything is more than most of America, from housing to groceries, gasoline, everything. Living there...especially if you don't own already would be insanely expensive. You could have two whole different experiences depending on where you went and what you did. We love to visit as we are few hours away...but we love to come home too haha.
Id like to see her walking anywhere in the Texas summer heat!!! Or in the Michigan winter. Or standing out at the corner for very long waiting on a bus!!!! In my town, summers get over 100° and winters get below 0°.
That's not alot of syrup 😂
her syrup is no match for how much syrup i use LOL
I agree..... You gotta drown those pancakes/waffles with butter and syrup.
It's not a lot of syrup if it's actual maple syrup. It's far too much if it's that nasty fake-maple corn syrup.
@@DashRiprock513let the sugary goodness soak that stack! 😂
I thought it was a crazy amount lol
I’ve travel extensively in Europe AND America, and her comments about the vegetables tasting like plastic in the US is just dumb.
yeah that was odd
maybe (because she said they were all from restaurants) they were canned or frozen veggies? I don't think she knows the logistics of bringing in farm fresh to metropolitan eateries or large chains, and is expecting that it's picked fresh🤔
A "strip mall" isn't a mall full of strippers. It's a long building that is separated into individual storefronts, usually with parking directly in front. It's literally a "strip" of mall (stores). Very common for "car culture."
having said all that, did you not see the La Quinta Inn next to the Hooters? If that isn't a literal definition of Strip Mall, I don't know what to say to appease people who are just different. :D :D :D
"Mustang, Camaro, Tomato, tomato." Oh, my dear friend. No no nono. You are a Ford Mustang fan, or a Chevy Camaro fan. And ne'er shall the twain meet. And there's no such thing as too much syrup, even if it's corn syrup and not maple syrup.
NOT SAME CAR! YIKES!!! My first car was a Mustang and dad was a Ford employee ... We don't EVER mention Chevy unless it is to point at the car left on the side of the road 😆
I think what he was saying is that he thought Mustang is pronounced "moostang" because of his Portuguese accent. That's why he said potato, potato.
I'm a Chevy guy and I still like Mustangs. I'll never own one because I'm a classy, sensible person, but I like Mustangs.

Have you ever had pancakes?
Just to let you know crayons in the US are not toxic. They are just beeswax and some type of food grade dye. The only difference is how thick the wax is. Crayola tends to be thicker to stand up to schoolwork and hard children’s play. Roseart tend to be thinner for art projects and lighter work. The target audience is what you want. Crayola is the standard kids brand of crayons. Roseart is for old kids or adults.
America cultivates bees for honey mostly but beeswax and bee pollen are byproducts that we found useful. Beeswax can be melted down for all sorts of things including the lost cast process where a single piece of wax is used to create a mold and you can copy that mold over and over, shaping metal sometimes you need to do a lost casting. Beeswax is useful in thousands of products that you may not be aware of.
Kid's just trying out for the Marines.
Sometimes in America we want something different for Dinner. So we will make a big breakfast meal for supper. Eggs, Bacon, Sausage, Grits, Hash-browns, Toast with jam and Pancakes.
Love having breakfast for dinner! Yum
Yep! Breakfast for supper is so good sometimes!
No, you dont need a card, membership to go to Target or Walmart, but Sams yes
Sams and Costco are the two major chains that need a card.
Strip malls are shopping centers just outdoors
That was the right amount of maple syrup. I would use even more
Even more 🤯
@@european-reacts It's only too much if it runs off on your shoes.
…only if it’s REAL MAPLE syrup!
@@european-reactsHey man, another great video. I think you accidentally forgot to post the link in the description. I never have actually went to a link from reaction videos before but I want to show some appreciation for this video to the original creator! (Unless you did put it in, then I am blind) lol
That looked like a long time pouring, but the thickness and tenacity make it flow very slowly.
Vegetables in November- it depends on where they are coming from. If they are out of season in the US, then they may be coming from Mexico or South America and sometimes the flavor is different. You have to go to a good local farmer’s market in Spring and summer and you will get fantastic veggies!
We get them all year in Nor Cal.
LA + San Diego are about 23 million people. California is about 39 million - a decently sized country. There is both a lot of wealth and a lot of poverty, it depends on the city and depends even more on the neighborhood. It would be dishonest to say those problems don’t exist; but they’re certainly not the full story.
There is plenty to enjoy in California: enormous cities, beautiful nature, mild weather, diverse people, a huge and dynamic economy, delicious food, and tolerant attitudes. Cost of living is high but so are the salaries. There’s a reason more Americans have chosen to live there than anywhere else.
For some reason, California is the only state you have to compliment with conditions. Like, no one can say anything nice about it unless you put it down first. Meanwhile, we have certain states (you know who you are) making laws that allow companies to deny water breaks to construction workers during heatwaves and offer bounties for information on women seeking abortions.
But as government regulates more and more, taxes more and more, increases energy costs more and more, all this is in danger. There is a reason businesses are leaving the state, and oddly Governor Brown accused Texas of poaching California businesses. California is DRIVING those businesses out, and Texas is one state it makes sense to move to. Try starting a business in this state, you'll see how difficult it is. OTOH, a family that had a dairy in this state moved their entire herd from California to Tennessee and went from struggling to thriving. Same herd, same people running, different tax and regulatory structure, and that made all the difference.
@@Anon54387 businesses leave for Texas because Texas is anti-worker and anti-environmentalist. They basically give you free-rein to pollute and treat your workers like slaves. Just look at the bill that makes it so businesses don’t need to offer water breaks for construction workers. Even before the law, Texas led the nation in worker-related deaths from heatstroke. Tesla had something like 5x the amount of worker injuries as every other car manufacturer in the US combined. California started to crack down on them and instead of abiding by worker protection laws, Elon moved some production to Texas…and then came back to California because in-demand, specialist employees don’t want to live in Texas. Also, isn’t it funny how the narrative has been that Texas recruits businesses to leave other states, yet you never hear about how business start in Texas?
@@Anon54387 Good for you.
California, as a state, has a greater population than the WHOLE country of Canada!
As of May 20, 2024, Canada has a population of 39,069,250, while California has a population of 39,128,162
Oh boy, you opened a can of worms with the potato patahto when referring to a Camaro and a Mustang. That's worse than talking politics. 😂
Come on, everyone knows that Challengers are the king of the hill!
@@ImForwardlook 😂
Camaro rules
I had immediately thought the same thing. Btw Camaro is the answer.
My mom had a Charger.
Ugliest avacado green I ever saw. Dad had a Camaro and my PaPa bought me an older Mustang for my graduation. He was such an instigator. The look on my dad's face was something I'll never forget. Total betrayl. He got his revenge though. That car left me stranded along side the road more times than I can count. Lololo
When properly applied pancakes should need a floatation device....🤪
When a people order coffee, it’s not uncommon that the waiter pours the first cup of coffee out of a carafe and then leaves the carafe on the table. Note the background in this diner. 4:37
Los Angeles is a car city. You can't get anywhere without a car. It's just a fact of life. We live in our cars and we're not giving them up. We may have hybrids and electrified cars now, but we're not giving up our cars. We love our cars in LA. Like the like the song by Missing Persons, "no body walks in L.A." 😉
LA is like that because it's such a young city compared to other large American cities (already young compared to Europe!) Prior to the advent of widespread car ownership LA wasn't very big.
If she wanted a walkable neighborhood she should have picked one. Los Angeles is huge, and is the American city with the highest rate of household car ownership, pushing 90%. Even in LA there are neighborhoods where you can walk to a lot of things. She didn’t do her homework when picking her location.
Cold water is easy to understand. Just go out West into the hot dry heat...cool or cold water is far more refreshing than ambient temp water.
She's not anywhere near Downtown Los Angeles. She out near the beaches. The City of Los Angeles, and Los Angeles County are NOT the same thing. She might be in Los Angeles COUNTY, but not in the CITY.
Depends how you define LA. For most of the world everything between Palm Springs and the Pacific is Los Angeles.
Strip malls are stores that are in one line with parking in front where you can walk from store to store from the parking lot
Im from California, but to say you visited America when all you did was go to LA is kinda goofy. This also goes for the car they chose. A Mustang EcoBoost is not an accurate representation of an American car. Just because it has the Mustang badge doesn't mean it's a muscle car.
The true American experience would be to do a road trip across the US, you cant experience America if you just stay in a big city. Things to do could be watching a sports game like baseball or football or going to some racing event like a drag race or NASCAR. Of course, you have to go to a gun range, but #1 dont go to an indoor range, and #2 dont go to a range in either California or New York, that's where everyone goes. If you're in California, visit one of the National Parks or Forests, also try In N Out or the local Mexican food.
Theres a lot of things to do in the entirety of the US, i think its just funny when Europeans or other foreigners visit LA and label it as their America trip.
I know as a person who is from upstate NY. all of these Europeans or other foreigners travel to the US. It just everything from movies. they need to go to somewhere else
Redwood Forest is a must!
So true. There is so much to see all over the place and LA isn't somewhere I would want to visit, mainly because I am not fond of large cities. I know many people do prefer them and that is OK.
It appears she didn't even go to LA. She went to Orange County which is kind of an in joke in California for being a scrubbed, lily white, upscale characterless suburb, mostly (but not entirely) wealthy and conservative.
@@leahmollytheblindcatnordee3586 People prefer large cities because in nearly all of them in Europe and many in the US, they are dense population centers and walkers' paradises where there's so much to see and do just depending on your feet, public transit and the occasional cab or Uber. LA is different. LA is vastly spread out with an almost irrelevant center. If they want that kind of city in California, they should come to San Francisco. Many times I've heard European visitors remark that to them it seems European because it IS one of those dense walking cities.
It's hard for me to imagine the point of travel if you don't like cities. Almost all of any nation's cultural attractions, dining opportunities and everything else are in its cities. You can, I suppose, travel just to see the varied manifestations of nature, but to me that seems to be missing an awful lot that distinguishes one culture from another.
Riding in a convertible car in nice weather with the top down is very different, in a good way.
“That’s a big cup” That’s a small.
True 😂 large is pushing half a gallon
How does the world not know about Coffee creamers? It's literally like one of the two things you need for coffee or tea. Sweetener and Creamer.
I think most Europeans add milk.
Creamer = the flavored chemical feast that comes in the little pods. As far as I’ve ever seen, the rest of the world - and much of the US - uses an actual dairy product like milk or cream.
Somewhere in South America, someone is adding Cheddar cheese to their coffee.😅
13:45 Those houses range from ~$4 - 15M. While the location is great, they are super tiny, and restricted on height due to local building codes, so they aren't worth as much as a bigger house that is located more inland.
As for safety being that close to the water, the coast line doesn't face a lot of natural disaster risk. California has a ton of fault lines, resulting in a lot of earthquakes. However, these fault lines are mostly on land, and not in the ocean, so there isn't much of a tsunami risk. In fact, we're at more risk of tsunamis from Japan or Alaska than directly off our own coast. Hurricanes are extremely rare since the ocean current along the west coast runs north-to-south, bringing colder water down from Alaska and making it harder for warm-weather storms to form. We did just get hit by one this last year that came up from Mexico, but tbh, LA barely got rain, let alone a full storm surge. So, these houses are relatively safe.
That’s only half as much syrup as I would’ve put on 😬🤩
WRT the vegetables tasting "plastic": remember that this was filmed in November, so most of the produce was shipped from far away, most likely South America. It was probably sitting in refrigerated warehouses, shipping containers and trucks for a shockingly long time as well, before it was put on display at the store. So while it technically counts as "fresh" produce, it is actually far from being that.
California is awesome. An amazing range of enivornments, from desert to cloud forest to semi-alpine.
too bad the goverment and people suck so very hard.
Andre, one can never have enough syrup. The problem is that you Europeans don't use enough. Syrup soaks into everything you use it on, so you gotta use a liberal amount.
That was not too much syrup. It was too much breakfast but they seemed to enjoy it.
Why such big cars? 1. Safety They are easier to see in heavy traffic. Small cars get lost from view. They withstand a crash with less damage than small cars. 2. Convenience Since things are so far apart many people try to do all their shopping in one trip. Large cars can hold the children, the groceries, the clothing, the plants for the garden or whatever is needed in this trip. 3. Comfort
Some advice, when you come and you rent your Mustang get the GT (V8) to get the full experience. Ask for the V8 GT!
No V8; not a mustang!
Breaking news, you can eat anything at anytime of day, or night...I know, shocking.
Freedom!! No silly food rules
Have you ever had waffles or pancakes? The absorb the syrup.
Ok thats fair...
Was going to comment the same.
Right.
It's been said in the comments several times under other videos, he reacted to about pancakes and waffles.
I lived near the beach in Massachusetts, the water sometimes isn't the issue, but sand storms are the worst, grit in your hair and skin!! You should do a video sometime to show us your country, I'd be wanting to do that.
The US has always been a car culture. We love cars . And an 8 cylinder Mustang counts as a muscle car.
No it doesn't, its a ponycar.
It's funny, in the US I hate the muffstains but back in Europe they are almost cool.
The neighborhood she was walking through to get to Target ( 17:19 ) was a very average neighborhood in Los Angeles. Many of the homes in established areas like this have citrus trees in their backyards - oranges, lemons, etc. Southern California, including the inland valleys, produces a good proportion of the country’s fruits and vegetables. California oranges are readily found in Publix grocery stores in the Southeast.
Things about America you should remember.
The pancakes at restaurants are far thicker and bigger in diameter than you make at home.
You need more syrup than you think.
Full stack is 3 pancakes
Half stack is 2 pancakes
A half&half is one Buiscuit and an order of hashbrowns covered in sausage gravy.
A B&G is 2 Buiscuits and sausage gravy.
An "egg mess" is hashbrowns with 2/3 eggs scrambled in with meat and veggies of your choice.
The Target near me is a Super Target. Its near Granger, which is rich people area so the store has elite foods in it.
What is a rich people's area.
A regular mall is a huge number of stores together and usually on multiple floors, one above the other.
A strip mall is a smaller group of stores on one floor.
I lived in Southern California for five years in the late 80’s-90’s. Oceanside and North Hollywood. The best memories I have are driving on a beautiful, sunny day, with ocean views and palm trees along the streets. The weather there is perfect. We could sit in our swimsuits, getting a tan in March.
The layout thing is because it (Los Angeles) is newer. If you go to cities that are very old (by American standards) on the east coast, roads are twistier and there are little quirks everywhere. An ancient path worn by migrating deer and buffalo would in later centuries become toll roads that were paved in split logs, which only with the advent of automobiles would become public paved roads, and those paved roads would twist around historic properties. But the further west you go, the less history there is (as long as you ignore the fact that Native Americans have been there for millennia), and so cities are much more likely to be laid out in a strictly rectilinear fashion.
We live in Baltimore, Maryland which is more expensive than say Georgia, but California is at least 5x more than here!! A $200,000.00 house here would cost about $450,000.00 in California....also the land is very small lots. Plus, I love Marylands landscapes. Mountains, cities, rural areas, etc. And we enjoy all 4 seasons with changes of color in the leaves etc. during the autumn and fall, it's absolutely beautiful 😍❤️
Hahahaha aaaaaaaaaaaaah hahahaha a one room cabin starts at $500,000. Of course it depends on where it is.
If that was a stack of 3 or 4 (full stack is 4) pancakes, then that looked to be about the perfect amount of syrup actually lol. Really been enjoying these videos/getting a foreigners perspective on American culture. Keep it up man, much love from Indiana!
California isn't the East Coast. Cities on the East Coast were over 200 years old when cars were invented. Cars predate most of Los Angeles. There really wasn't very much around that area until the 20th Century. Los Angeles was BUILT for cars.
Random comment to what she said, but I can't help myself...you need to wear sunscreen even when it's cloudy people!!
Most Americans love to drive! It's freedom. Not dealing with others on public transport
A lot of breakfast places are open 24 hours. It’s because they are near hospitals or places that need to stay open. There are a couple of breakfast places near my local hospital which is crazy when doctors are off shifts. They literally just have time to grab a meal and go home to sleep that’s it. Don’t ask because i just know. Especially when they have the 72 hour on call shifts. Those are crazy. I did food deliveries to the hospital before to both doctors and patients. It was fricking crazy. The entire emergency department would order all at once and the orders filled the entire trunk of the SUV plus the back seat. Although I did get a nice tip out of it.
I appreciate how much you love the US 🇺🇸 thank you
NOTE TO EUROPEANS : Everything the the US is exactly the right size for North America !! Americans don't GIVE A DAMN that you think out cars are too big. It's not our fault that your countries that aren't much bigger than postage stamps.
There's the rude American they've probably heard all about.
Breakfast for dinner is a big part of being American. At restaurants like Dennys you can have pancakes and eggs at 3 in the morning, I can’t even tell you how packed they are with people at that time in places like Miami. It’s very common to go to Dennys after they leave a night club or a party. As teenagers, it was the only place we were allowed to go at 3 am and wanted Hot Chocolate and your friends parents rather you go to a 24 hour place like that instead of keeping them up banging around in the kitchen. Me and my best friend could be found at Dennys in our pajamas, or sitting on the floor of a 24 hour pharmacy in our pajamas reading all the magazines. The night manager never cared as long as we bought something (usually it was lip gloss or candy) before we left. My ex husband was a cop and we would go every day at 2am to a Dennys when he got off his shift because he needed time to decompress from duty because he didn’t want to take the stress home. Lots of eggs over easy and hash browns for me during that marriage.
I'm sorry I respond to so many videos, it’s just that you always pop up at the top of my feed and if I’m full of one thing it’s information. Can’t help myself!
That was WAY too little syrup btw. Also, a strip mall is a small open mall where you can pull your car up right next to which store you want to go too and they’re filled with a bunch of small businesses. One strip mall could have example Tax Attorney, 3 different restaurants, a Pharmacy, a small electronics store, small clothing boutiques a Starbucks, dry cleaner, realtor. So quick one stop shopping all in one. You have them too ours are just very wide open, with tons of parking and usually a MdDonalds or something in the back of the parking lot.
I had biscuits and sausage gravy with scrambled eggs for dinner about 20 minutes ago 😂
Yes Andre' pancakes are a morning thing, they are also a noon thing, a lunch thing, a dinner thing and a late night snack thing. That is NOT too much syrup! If you don't have a small pool left on your plate once the pancake is gone that you can lick up with your tongue, you did not put enough on it in the first place! LOL
I drove an MGB convertible for years ,kept it in the garage during winter and only drove it in the summer here at the beach . It was great .Our house is about 100 meters from the Atlantic Ocean and during the 53 years we have lived here we were flooded once , by hurricane Sandy when our entire island was under water because of the 17 foot high storm surge that hit us and the highest point on the island is maybe 10 feet above sea level
The houses are somewhat higher then the ocean and very rarely does the surf reach those houses. Tsunami would be a different story. I was born and raised in Los Angeles. 1 hour to the mountains, 1 hour to the desert, and 1 hour to the ocean. California is a beautiful state.
Pancakes are any time of the day! Breakfast for dinner is amazing.
Also, a mustang is way more than 5k euros. They start around 30k euros. It's crazy.
The kid is the least impressed.
No way would I spend time touring a supermarket or department store.
And she kept the camera on herself, mainly. Sucked.
Every state has issues, but I've lived in CA most of my life and love it here...wouldn't live anywhere else and I'm only a few miles from the beach. I also don't talk bad about any state because they all have their own issues, just the way it is.
PS...I have a massive car! LOL But yes, we need it...we travel with our two 120 pound pitbulls...nuff said. 😊
At that restaurant, it was artificial corn syrup. The 100% pure maple syrup is richer and more flavorful and a bit more expensive, but not too pricey and sometimes is found at other restaurants. I can tell the difference because the 100% pure maple syrup never, ever, ever comes in that big pour bottle. It's always in a labeled container to prove quality.
Oooooh. You NEED sunscreen if you travel very far in a convertible during sunny weather.
It’s normal for restaurants to serve coffee like that because of the fact that coffee is normally free refills and we love coffee in the morning and on the side of the table there’s normally like creamer, sugar, and condiments. And also you can get more than just pancake syrup. They also have blueberry syrup, apricot syrup, you know stuff like that available too. You can also get sugar-free.
You SHOULD be able to get pancakes at 3 AM or so at the end of a night of carousing. Lots of carbs is great for hangover prevention.
As some others have said, venture out of the big cities and try elsewhere. The valley of California from Fresno north of Sacramento is one of the biggest vegetable/citrus growers of the US. We feed half of the nation in those areas (we even supply Japan with a lot of rice). November is not the season for looking for good fruits/vegetables. During the growing season, if you venture out of the big cities, you will see local farmers with fruit stands by the side of the road where things are picked fresh. After watching this video, I was in the produce section of Walmart talking to another lady (yes, the small talk). I told her about this video as we were looking at the tomatoes. There are these obviously hot house grown tomatoes that are waxy, pinkish looking that you just know, they don't have a lot of flavor. And they had a Mexico sticker on them. Then right next to them, there were these bright red juicy looking tomatoes on the vine. You could smell the difference. I can't think of one person who doesn't agree that home grown tomatoes are far superior than most you get at Walmat/Target. (maybe not so much at Whole Foods).
Car culture extends to most of the US. I was car-less for two years, and I cannot overstate how much more difficult it made my life. We’re so spread out, and public transit varies too much from place to place. 🚗
28:00 She is visiting in November. Most of the fruits and vegetables are out of season or imported from Mexico or South America so the flavors are not going to be the best.
The houses right on the beach close to 2 million for a single house. All of them owned by celebrities or higher ups in companies. These are actually vacation homes, it’s not everyday use but 3 months of the year in summer.
I feel so spoiled for living in Los Angeles. Within minutes you can have a world class experience in any sector of life. Entertainment, nature, art, food. The list of good stuff is endless. And let’s not mention how amazingly good the weather is. Everything, except the homeless issues is amazing in Los Angeles.
You're eating blackberries and strawberries in NOVEMBER for Pete's sake. Almost no kind of vegetable is in season in November. A few fruits, like tree fruits (apples, peaches, pears) may be. So you are eating stuff that was picked unripe in Chile or somewhere and shipped thousands of miles to the US. No, it doesn't taste that great but it is what it is if you want foods out of season. I suggest you try a canteloupe or other melon from the Colorado River Valley or some strawberries from Salinas or oranges from southern CA or Arizona or almost any kind of greens from the Imperial Valley or tomatoes from artisanal farms all over America when they are in season. I've been to Greece. I enjoyed the food there but I didn't find it overwhelmingly better than the best of what's available in the US.
Trivia: The 'Mustang' logo is actually of the wild Mustang horses that run in herds across the West.
"Mustang-Camaro . . . same car" Oh boy. Ford and GM would sure beg to differ.
"The grass is always greener . . ." Not in California in summer. It's very brown.
California has really superior strawberries but the season is late Spring: May/June. And LA may be a little too far south to get the best ones which come from the Salinas Valley in central California.
The homeless and drug users and other unsightly stuff are mostly confined to certain areas of the downtown parts of cities. This video appears to be in the suburb of Orange County. You aren't likely to see them there. I am in downtown San Francisco bugt I've been away for almost 6 months and I'm very surprised that the city looks a lot cleaner with fewer such people than when I left. But I know where they are: The City seems to have somehow forced nearly all of them into the one neighborhood known as the Tenderloin. Unfortunately, this is adjacent to an area frequented by tourists so a lot of tourists take a wrong turn or walk in the wrong direction and come upon the scenes of degradation. Then they badmouth the whole city.
In response to your comment about the houses on the beach, California, especially Southern California get zero, and I mean ZERO major storms. There are not hurricanes, storms, or massive waves to worry about because it's geography makes it calm year round.
Salad is just green water. Camero, Mustang and Dodge are different car companies like Audi, Mercedes and BMW just for instance.
You do not need a card to go to Target. That's Costco or Sam's Club ( affiliated with Walmart)
The new Mustang is a muscle car. The "coyote" engine is slightly over 500 horsepower.
That wasnt a new one. That was just a regular v8 GT thats about 10 years old. And only the Dark Horse has 500hp. The rest have 390-420. And the Ecoboost v6 has 250-300.
@DaInfamous0ne Are you sure? A 10-year old rental car sets off an alarm with me. 390 is still a lot.
I have a car just like that, only black
She went during non growing season..she got greenhouse veggies
Nope, not in California
That’s not much syrup. There are 4 or 5 pancakes there! Those pancakes will soak up the syrup.
A strip mall is a line of stores shoulder to shoulder with no inside common space.
No, you don’t need any membership card to shop at Target.❤️🤗🐝
Some AMERICANS drink black coffee and some add milk or cream in various flavors. Can we agree?
Pancakes need a lot of syrup because it is a stack of 5 or more pancakes and they are thick and fluffy and absorb lots of syrup.
Pancakes is a whenever you want pancakes thing. I drink my coffee black, no sugar, no cream. We would love to see some of Portugal, Andre. Target got its start out west. It's more of a thing than Walmart there. No membership needed.
I think the huge cars/trucks are strange too.
When you get a salad in the states, it's more than likely going to be made with iceberg lettuce. It just does not have any flavor on its own. There are other greens you can make your own, much better tasting, salads with.
I ate breakfast for dinner just tonight, but I didn't make pancakes. I had fried eggs, sausages and toast. It's like a treat to have breakfast for dinner occasionally. A strip mall is a row of businesses all attached to one another in a long strip where each store has its own entrance, as opposed to a traditional mall where the stores all all inside of a single enclosed building and the stores are usually only accessible from within the mall building. It's the warehouse stores where you buy in bulk that you need to have a membership to, like Costco, BJ's, or Sam's Club. Target is like a slightly upscaled version of a Walmart.
my friend, im a subscriber...i LIKED your videos before you even ask LOL great channel, thanks for sharing...from hawaii
European pancakes are often thin, in the US they’re thick and fluffy and the serving is either three or six and the pancakes absorb the syrup so you need to put a lot on. Cameros and Mustangs are both sporty “muscle cars” but most people prefer one or the other and aren’t considered interchangeable and people are usually devoted to one or the other. They are definitely not the same car, one is made by Chevrolet the other by Ford. Even if you don’t have many children, your children might be on a sports team, or some other activity where you are also driving other children so it’s convenient to have a larger vehicle. Considering a large amount of our fruits and vegetables are grown in California, if what she ate tasted “plastic” it was either out of season so imported from Mexico or Chile, or it wasn’t really market fresh, the restaurants often order produce from a food service provider.
The houses are farther back from the ocean that even in a big storm waves aren’t probably going to reach the houses. It could be different of the east coast because of hurricanes. You only need a membership card at Costco or Sam’s Club.
Rich people have those houses as just their beach house. So, they could just leave and go to their big house when the storm is coming.
Born and raised in California having Pancakes for dinner happened about once a month !! It was always so fun and I still love breakfast for dinner every now and then. Also!! The only she did wrong with the syrup was not having it heated first . Lots of syrup is mandatory for the ultimate Pancake experience. Always Maple! BTW.. I drove my convertible Mercedes home from work today on a Beautiful Sunny California Day in Napa California 😉
You don’t get the Waffle House experience
27:07 I know where that is, that's down the street from my Mom's house in Newport Beach, on 17th St. near Santa Ana Ava. lol.
Answer to do we need a massive....yes, yes we do😅
Hey! Costa Mesa!...must be a bit of an older video, that Pancake House is closed, they moved down the street. Pretty sad because that place was a landmark. Now it's a Shake Shack.
Lol.. I put a small amount of jam or preserves on each pancake.. and a small amount of syrup.. I think she used way too much as well.. but lol to each their own.You have mall. Then there is strip malls..Strip malls You don't have the indoor space with stores on both sides.. you walk around inside.. The strip mall is a lot of connecting store. There isn't a indoors walking space.. You walk around outside. Each store has their own private entrance from the outside.
I think that is a lot of syrup too. Target is free for everyone and I have shopped there in Michigan as well. It is probably in many states. Vegetables vary by place. A farmers market in the midwest is so much different, but wouldn't have been in season when she was there.
man, i disagree with the salad...ive enjoyed just about every salad ive had throughtout the parts of the US that ive been to...or maybe im just so used to to the US salads LOL
I wont play the usual Chevy Ford Debate but a Mustang is a basic common car these days they are nothing special they do have fast ones but 70% of them are basic cars. Love the reactions
Ty 🙏
Yeah that was an EcoBoost. A real Mustang is a GT or Mach 1
it's also the preferred vehicle of strippers before they're repoed.
The only thing I'm confused about is her complaining about things not being walking friendly but only showing places with nice sidewalks and she had zero issue walking her butt to Target. 🤷♀
She doesn't mean you can't walk there.
She is used to older cities in Europe. Take New York for an American example of a pre-car city in the US. A lot of people in NY never learn to drive. Each little neighborhood has everything you need within a short walk. The Post Office, shops, park, school, etc., etc., etc., are all within a few blocks of where you live. In Europe, especially, there are tons of little plazas, cafes, and whatnot for the people in each neighborhood to hang out in. In newer American cities like LA, people either hang out inside their house or they have to go on a trip to go "do something." But in pre-car cities, you walk out your front door and live in the neighborhood.
Car-centered cities have everything physically more separated and spaced out with no sense of individual, living neighborhoods, so it can feel isolating and unnatural if you are not used to it. Everything is a little island that you have to drive to.
@jameswoodard4304 I disagree. I think she was implying something that equates to differences in distance necessitating a variation in the design of transit infrastructure. I'd have to rewatch the video but to be precise but since I cba I'm just going to say she made her statements with an intentional negative slant. Also, our vegetables taste like plastic? Really? 😉
It says 43,000 to 61,000 euros for convertible.
Strip malls are small sections of property that have many different types of stores all in one area from things like jewelry stores, clothing stores, restaurants, shoe store etc. Very common in the US.
Target stores do not require any cards to enter. You are thinking of a store like BiMart which is employee owned and cost a 1 x fee of $5.00 where you get a BiMart shopping card to use when entering the store to shop/=.
Please react to the (paramedic force 5 bridge creek and moore, Oklahoma tornado May 3 1999). It's the first responders response to the 1999 moore, Oklahoma F5 tornando. I currently work as an EMT with EMSA in tulsa, Oklahoma. We use this video for training new hires on mass casualty response. The camera crews riding with these ambulance crews were making a Tv show on the day and life of first responders the day moore got hit. Most people have no idea what happen in the aftermath of a tornado. This video is a great watch to understand what it takes to triage a mass casualty incident.
Part of California is beautiful, the long tedious boring horrible drive down I-5 through the Central valley is one of the worst tortures one could subject themselves to, by all means take the coast unless you're in one hell of a hurry!
One of my favorite dinner time meals is breakfast.
Eggs, hash browns, bacon, toast with butter and jelly, pancakes YUMMY!!!
I guess she didn't go anywhere to get fresh vegetables and didn't order the right salad.
Always get a kick out of someone from another country telling Americans what they should and shouldn't purchase. In this particular video, we shouldn't purchase "large cars". Whatever...
More syrup is needed even for a half stack. She didn't pour nearly enough syrup required. 3-4 times what she poured is about right.
You could never have too much syrup! Those pancakes soak up all of that syrup, you have to add more at least twice during the course of eating them! And don’t forget the butter on top.
California is so big, and so many areas that it is both amazing and terrible in many ways. There is some amazing areas, amazing places, beautiful cities, towns, beaches, parks etc...as a tourist, it's so fun to go to.
The downside....traffic, also in areas there is a lot of homelessness, drugs and sketchy areas. The cost of everything is more than most of America, from housing to groceries, gasoline, everything. Living there...especially if you don't own already would be insanely expensive. You could have two whole different experiences depending on where you went and what you did.
We love to visit as we are few hours away...but we love to come home too haha.
Those houses are $5-10 million, on the Newport Beach boardwalk. Even in King tides, the water will not hit those houses....though maybe someday.
To be fair, Orange County is suburban. Los Angeles proper is diverse and quirky and way more interesting.
Id like to see her walking anywhere in the Texas summer heat!!!
Or in the Michigan winter.
Or standing out at the corner for very long waiting on a bus!!!!
In my town, summers get over 100° and winters get below 0°.
