@ProstyProtos71 It's more like we have a set of big cities that we all mostly hate, but we disagree as to which one is the worst. However, among almost all of those cities there are also a group of people who love them and angrily defend them until the heat death of the universe. Personally I think LA is by far the worst, but keep in mind that I'm from Arizona which has had varying degrees of tension with California going back to before Arizona was even a state in the union.
The unfortunate thing is that the experiences in LA and San Diego do not match with the rest of the country. You go anywhere that's not So Cal or Nevada, and the story will be very different. Take the mountainous states to the North for example. Clean air, much cleaner water, cleaner cities(for the most part) and much fewer crackheads.

Yeah as an American, I’d say the homelessness and other wacky stuff you saw in LA and San Diego is mostly a west coast thing, not an American thing. As some other people here have said, the East Coast, Gulf Coast and Pacific Northwest all have much better reputations than SoCal. Essentially the housing prices are jacked up there and the local governments don’t really care because it gets them more tax money. That’s not to say that the homelessness, crime, and other problems you saw are a specific SoCal thing (They can be found almost anywhere is you know where to look), but SoCal (Especially LA) has those problems to a much higher degree than the rest of the nation (Especially traffic and smog. LA almost gets universally dunked on by other Americans for those two)

As a person happy to live on the east coast (best coast by the way) I must say that some of that stuff does exist over here as well. There are shitty parts of DC which are really bad, as well as a lot of the surrounding parts of Maryland (all of PG county, which borders on the ghetto of DC) Then there's Baltimore, which is like 90% ghetto and should be avoided at all costs by everyone. Other major cities on the east coast also have their crappy sections, but I'm more familiar with the DMV. Thing is, you will almost certainly see weird homeless people/junkies doing worrying things in DC, even around all the tourist stuff, so it's worth mentioning. But ignore that, don't go there. Go for a drive out into the mountains. Get off the highways, check out some country roads in rural areas. It's beautiful. Don't go to shitty fastfood places or chain establishments; go to local places, family owned restaurants. That's how you see the real America that's worth loving, not the corporate product of relentless marketing and insatiable greed.

Ik I'm probaly biased but my god is oregon and Washington underated I went to the peninsula of Washington and there was probaly 2 people every mile of beach, during the summer and it was a nice beach, and the oregon coast almost never disappoints me
Not an American never been to america but from where I’m sitting it seems it’d be like this: F U C K A L L . . .something F U C K A L L . . . random giant object F U C K A L L . . .bedtime. For most of it
@@drake_hg Oh you are most definitely biased, and so am I! I fucking love Washington State and the Olympic Peninsula. Going there this summer was such a fucking relief, after 90+ degree heat at Rainier two days in a row and having given myself heat exhaustion and thrown up on the trail because of my failed attempt to remedy that heat exhaustion (guzzling my entire liter of water in like 20 seconds), having a high in the upper 50s was basically a miracle of god. Olympic Peninsula beaches are the only beaches I go to willingly. Now I don't know if that's saying those beaches are S Tier or if that's saying I'm Anakin Skywalker, but it's saying something.
I’m not surprised about Vegas, I’ve been hearing that opinion a lot from people who weren’t sold by the glitz and glam of the Strip - that it just kinda feels nasty to even be there. Buddy of mine went to Vegas once, came back a week later, and the first thing he told me was, “I heard no less than twelve police sirens in the first hour of having checked into my room at the hotel.”
Police sirens or just sirens in general and also any local will tell you the strip is great to walk around and look maybe buy some yardsticks but if you want to gamble or go to some clubs you head off the strip. If you know somebody or do your research Vegas is great if you come here expecting something like you see on tv without the money your just retarded
Vegas is yucky because everyone wants to be your friend for your money. Legit the best time I had in Vegas was a very nice Cigar lounge with some older guys. What blew my socks off was asking the Bartender about a whiskey selection and how to drink it(straight up or rocks, citrus or no). He said "I dont actually know." Poured one for me and one for himself and we figured it out together.
It's actually not tho. If you use the worst statistic for US poverty rate per capita, the US still ranks top 30 in the world for the least amount of poverty lol. If you use the CDC metric it's like top 10 at 13% iirc
Honestly most of this is spot on especially the “if you get behind in life you just become homeless”. That’s not even where it ends because if you do become homeless you are treated as worse than the sewer rats especially by our soulless law enforcement and politicians who haven’t had a rough day in their life and just assume your homeless because of drug abuse or something.
My entire hometown here in Cali is filled with paywave tech. I don't go out of my way to carry cash, though I sometimes end up doing it just cuz of birthdays and christmas and stuff. I'm surprised to here it isn't essentially ubiquitous in the larger cities, especially a place like Vegas where you'd think making paying large sums of money super easy and thoughtless would be beneficial to the gambling moguls. You're right in that the air here sucks. Thankfully my town isn't weed heavy, but the one time I was even remotely close to San Diego the smell of Weed was nauseating. I couldn't bear to live in the larger cities for that reason alone. The dryness of the air helps to deal with the high temperatures though, makes sweat evaporate more readily which dramatically reduces the felt temperature. Go to Florida where the temps are usually lower by a few degrees on average and you'll melt. The high humidity ensures that your sweat cannot efficiently evaporate and makes the 80-90 temps just absolutely awful to experience. I've been there once and it was just endless suffering.
I've never heard it called "Paywave" before, we just call it "contactless" in the UK, but we're the same here. Zero cash these days, especially after covid.
I'd say America can be divided into four regions, west coast, Midwest, the south, and east coast/New England. All I will say is that America gets better the farther northeast you go.
Eh I mean sort of. I would say that Montana is great for general safety and natural beauty, but Massachusetts and Virginia are great to raise a family.
Being a resident in Vegas I can tell you you are 100% right, there is good stuff in Vegas, but you have to get away from the strip. Like if you go to goodsprings about 30 minutes south of Vegas there's the Bar and Adrenaline Mountain / Shoot Las Vegas, anything in vegas you have to have a resident show you the good spots, personally I love Capo's speakeasy
The classic American road trip is east to west or vice versa. Much less traffic than coastal driving because of the sheer size of the country. It’s actually a lot like driving across Australia come to think of it, but there are probably more places to stop along the way.
The homelessness problem on the west coast is really not representative of the rest of the country. Sure they exist in most cities to some extent, but the warm weather, lax laws, and shocking amount of money to be made pan handling in certain CA cities causes lots of homeless to flock there and live a beach bum lifestyle.
The CA gov literally pays you to be homeless and makes it as accommodating as physically possible to be a drug addict. You get more attention from the gov being a crackhead than a taxpayer.
The homeless problem exists all over the US. Sure, not as bad anywhere else as west coast, but it's still bad. And it's a shame people feel pity. And at the same time it's a shame I can't bring myself to feel pity. Most homeless people are junkies. Deadbeat drug addicts, actual lowlifes and criminals. They care almost nothing about themselves, and actually nothing for others around them. It's not that they're neglected by the system. In fact, the system offers them more opportunity than it does to me. The system needs fixed, but it's not the fault of the system, not for most of them. Don't get me wrong, I said most, not all. But it remains. You can't just "get rid of them." They are people after all, most of them anyway. But there's not much you can do. You can try to help, but they mostly just take advantage of any charity and use it to fund their chosen addiction. Once a person gets like that, the only ones that can save them is themselves. I've been pretty low myself. But the truth is, you have to get up and try. Go somewhere, do something. Opportunity comes to those that make the effort. But when people give up like that, they aren't making the effort. They've committed to the lifestyle of addiction and bumming money off people. Sure, there are some good people in their number who have been truly wronged by the world. It's for them that I wish I could have pity. But I can't tell them apart from the majority that don't try and don't care, and who got down to where they are by their own means, giving up a life they once had in favor of addiction and apathy. The only way to tell them apart is to see the ones that stand out by making the effort to do something different. But you almost never see that 'cause almost none of them ever do that. And that's a shame.
@@insoporous9978 Yeah I remember visiting LA and walking around seeing the homeless people shaking cups with drug parafenalia proudly on display on their little setups, right next to the boogie board. They made it really clear where your money was going if you chose to give them any. Here on the east coast there are also plenty of addicts, but also just a lot of people with mental problems. Not people who "fell behind and were left behind by the system" but people whose issues would prevent them from holding down a job, and those people I wish our system did more for. I think because of the presence of winter here on the east coast you see more of the latter than on the west coast, not because there are less mentally ill people there, but because states like CA have thrown off the ratio wildly by allowing homelessness to become a tacitly supported lifestyle choice rather than a circumstance you find yourself in after a run of bad luck.
I would be interested to see reviews of other cities, should you take a USA trip in the future. Its a big place, and different regions are different experiences.
Martin, since u liked Sand Deeyego because everything was within walking distance, why not give New York a try? The state as a whole is as diverse as you can get. Mountains in north and west, with a lot of beuatiful scenery, amazing beaches on both the Great Lakes and the Atlantic Ocean, epic 300ft views over the Hudson river, and NYC: the densest collection of tourist attractions I know of. Also, outside of Lower Manhattan, the rest of Manhattan is very easy to navigate and actually very walkable. NYC water is some of the cleanest of any US city, meaning tap water is not only safe, but tastes almost like filtered water. Plus, you can have pizza rivalled by only the home of the pizza itself.
I love how the answer to the one joke question about not being under threat from kangaroos can be summed up as "yeh there's no Australian fauna in America, but there are Americans"
Every time I see someone take a trip to America and they end up in freaking LA, I die a little on the inside. LA is a disgusting hole of a city in a disgusting hole of a state. Screw the west coast, go visit the east coast for a good time. You're totally right about Vegas, though. It's become a way worse place over the last 3 years.
I’d go one step further and say that the USA is a disgusting hole. There’s nothing of particular interest, it’s no cheaper than anywhere in Europe, South America has way better culture, food, and experiences for a third of the cost. The USA is like a person wearing Gucci in a McDonald’s; dressed up nice but actually shit.
In spannish, the suffix "-ito" means little, so the name "martincito" means something like "little martín" Would that imply the existence of a legendary and much biggah boi called MARTINO? Also greetings from México, glad you liked the mexican clubs
When we visited in the 90s, we actually bought a cheap used car, drove it for the trip, and then sold it off. Much simpler and cheaper than renting, though you do get all the things associated with a used car, like once we had to ask for a jump start because the battery charger was crapping out.
Over in the southern states we can just pay with out card. It's pretty consistent that we can, say for maybe that tipping culture allows underpaid waiters and waitresses along with places sometimes adding tips to a pool to be split among the workers.
The reason why the VLOG is doing so poorly is because the video is age restricted. Many people probably haven’t added their ID card to their Google account to verify their age (like myself). So yeah, I think that’s the reason. It’s not that people aren’t interested or wouldn’t watch it again to help you out, but they just can’t even access it without modifying their Google account 😢
It’s always kinda sad so many people flock to Cali as their first American experience. It really shouldn’t be. The state is infamously a hell hole, it’s full of homelessness and crime and yet it’s for some reason the go-to place. I know it was for a convention but I’d love to see you explore the east coast and maybe the south.
For how hyped up Cali is, I was immeasurably disappointed when I visited it. And this is coming from someone who has lived in the goddamn Midwest his whole life
@@Justzay115 Nah, the mainstream rhetoric is: "Yeah we fucked up, but... hey, y'know, shit happens" *shrug* -The U.S Government I'm not talking of anything recent either, the fucking of the American Ass begins all the way back to when the Dollar Bill became backed by a literal I, O, and U. I feel fucked because everytime I look at a dollar in my hand, I know it is worth absolutely nothing. It's not backed by gold (we don't have any) It's not backed by silver (do people really still think there's anything in Fort Knox anymore?) Thanks to Franklin Dickhead Roostervelt, or FDR for short, the money in my pocket is backed by nothing but a "Thanks, we owe you" from the fork tongue suits on crapitol hill. ...Bit of a long one so I hope the bad language is at least entertaining
Honestly come to the East Coast sometime. There's a reason so many people call New York City the greatest city in the world. In a way, it's almost like visiting four cities at once, since Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, and Da Bronx all have different styles and cultures, and their own standout draws. It's got enough unique draws and attractions that even someone who's lived in the city their whole life can still find ways to be a tourist in their own hometown.
As a German I thankfully lack the fear of something getting into my walls. Nothing is going to get into any walls over here. In other certain countries you can punch a hole in a wall, here the wall will just laugth at you and ask if it should break your other hand too.
Yeah, you'll get a ridiculously different experience if you visit other areas of the country. The West Coast, Midwest, Northeast, East Coast, and the South are all completely different culturally and environmentally. Next time, if you want what I would call an overall nicer experience, visit the South. *The food is so good...*
About the homeless thing, doesn’t it logically make more since that there is more homeless people in America then Australia since America is over 12x bigger In population then Australia? Good vid regardless.
Honestly Mart, I'd say the next trip you and the bois should take would be to Florida, while yes the homeless population is still pretty shocking compared to Australia, it's nowhere near as fucked as California. Plus we got a *lot* of theme parks and stuff in Orlando if you're into that, and I'm pretty sure there's also a gun range similar to the one in Vegas here too.
To be fair, the Tampa/Orlando area is pretty chill by comparison. Maybe you’d know more of the nightlife, but I gotta say the parks are pretty good. Mind you I’m not as thrilled about parks, but overall they were fun. Honestly, if he were looking for ‘chill mountain vibes’ I’d recommend the smokies. Gatlinburg and Pidgin Forge are pretty chill, and have tons of stuff to do without as much of the psychosis of a major city. Also, we drive 70 to 80 instead of 80 to 95 on our parkways out this way. He may be okay with the nicer parts of Chicago, but Chicago is also kinda fucked by the rampant crime rate; tho it’s not as bad as NYC. I think, I haven’t checked the stats in a while. So I mean he has options on the east coast, but the South Floridaman experience might be more his speed.
What you said at around 0:55 is universally true across America. We're stuck in a culture of workaholics and fear towards social welfare programs. Even in 'progressive' places like California, It's completely impossible to miss even a single day of work.
Maybe because we know those social programs don’t work because you people don’t want to actually take the time and find out if someone needs the help or is just trying to scam the system
I too am always stressed driving behind and beside huge trucks going that speed. Already cracked my windshield 2 different times this year when one passed me when I was already going over the speed limit. They can be some big assholes for no reason

@@drake_hg Oh you are most definitely biased, and so am I! I fucking love Washington State and the Olympic Peninsula. Going there this summer was such a fucking relief, after 90+ degree heat at Rainier two days in a row and having given myself heat exhaustion and thrown up on the trail because of my failed attempt to remedy that heat exhaustion (guzzling my entire liter of water in like 20 seconds), having a high in the upper 50s was basically a miracle of god. Olympic Peninsula beaches are the only beaches I go to willingly.
Now I don't know if that's saying those beaches are S Tier or if that's saying I'm Anakin Skywalker, but it's saying something.

I've spent my most of my life in the midwest. This whole experience seems so wild to me.
I’m not surprised about Vegas, I’ve been hearing that opinion a lot from people who weren’t sold by the glitz and glam of the Strip - that it just kinda feels nasty to even be there.
Buddy of mine went to Vegas once, came back a week later, and the first thing he told me was, “I heard no less than twelve police sirens in the first hour of having checked into my room at the hotel.”
Police sirens or just sirens in general and also any local will tell you the strip is great to walk around and look maybe buy some yardsticks but if you want to gamble or go to some clubs you head off the strip. If you know somebody or do your research Vegas is great if you come here expecting something like you see on tv without the money your just retarded
Vegas is yucky because everyone wants to be your friend for your money. Legit the best time I had in Vegas was a very nice Cigar lounge with some older guys. What blew my socks off was asking the Bartender about a whiskey selection and how to drink it(straight up or rocks, citrus or no). He said "I dont actually know." Poured one for me and one for himself and we figured it out together.

Honestly most of this is spot on especially the “if you get behind in life you just become homeless”. That’s not even where it ends because if you do become homeless you are treated as worse than the sewer rats especially by our soulless law enforcement and politicians who haven’t had a rough day in their life and just assume your homeless because of drug abuse or something.
My entire hometown here in Cali is filled with paywave tech. I don't go out of my way to carry cash, though I sometimes end up doing it just cuz of birthdays and christmas and stuff. I'm surprised to here it isn't essentially ubiquitous in the larger cities, especially a place like Vegas where you'd think making paying large sums of money super easy and thoughtless would be beneficial to the gambling moguls.
You're right in that the air here sucks. Thankfully my town isn't weed heavy, but the one time I was even remotely close to San Diego the smell of Weed was nauseating. I couldn't bear to live in the larger cities for that reason alone. The dryness of the air helps to deal with the high temperatures though, makes sweat evaporate more readily which dramatically reduces the felt temperature. Go to Florida where the temps are usually lower by a few degrees on average and you'll melt. The high humidity ensures that your sweat cannot efficiently evaporate and makes the 80-90 temps just absolutely awful to experience. I've been there once and it was just endless suffering.
Part of the appeal to Florida is the beaches, and ergo, the Gulf, for that exact reason
Norcal or socal or the bay?

I've never heard it called "Paywave" before, we just call it "contactless" in the UK, but we're the same here. Zero cash these days, especially after covid.
it's called that in australia although I hear people say both tbh
I'd say America can be divided into four regions, west coast, Midwest, the south, and east coast/New England. All I will say is that America gets better the farther northeast you go.
Ah yes, New York, where you get arrested for defending yourself from criminals. But lemme guess, the south is the worst right? Just like CNN said?
East Coast/Gulf Coast ftw
Eh I mean sort of. I would say that Montana is great for general safety and natural beauty, but Massachusetts and Virginia are great to raise a family.

Being a resident in Vegas I can tell you you are 100% right, there is good stuff in Vegas, but you have to get away from the strip. Like if you go to goodsprings about 30 minutes south of Vegas there's the Bar and Adrenaline Mountain / Shoot Las Vegas, anything in vegas you have to have a resident show you the good spots, personally I love Capo's speakeasy
1:10 sounds promising
Don't worry Mart. I've watched the trip video at least five times now. It's become a part of my background videos rotation :D
Awesomesauce, another martincitopants video. We hung out on the same BF4 servers back in the day.
Keep the channel going man hope you play other games! I had a question will you ever play Subnautica or the forest 🤔
happy you liked America, please come again!
The knocking scared tf out of me watching this at 4:15 am with new Beats. Really tripped me out
The classic American road trip is east to west or vice versa. Much less traffic than coastal driving because of the sheer size of the country. It’s actually a lot like driving across Australia come to think of it, but there are probably more places to stop along the way.
The homelessness problem on the west coast is really not representative of the rest of the country. Sure they exist in most cities to some extent, but the warm weather, lax laws, and shocking amount of money to be made pan handling in certain CA cities causes lots of homeless to flock there and live a beach bum lifestyle.
If you can’t afford a house. Better to be outside at night when it’s 70 degrees
@@maxsmistakes2718 Oh yeah, California summers are nice and toasty.
The wildfires are a bit of an issue, though.
The CA gov literally pays you to be homeless and makes it as accommodating as physically possible to be a drug addict. You get more attention from the gov being a crackhead than a taxpayer.
The homeless problem exists all over the US. Sure, not as bad anywhere else as west coast, but it's still bad.
And it's a shame people feel pity.
And at the same time it's a shame I can't bring myself to feel pity.
Most homeless people are junkies. Deadbeat drug addicts, actual lowlifes and criminals. They care almost nothing about themselves, and actually nothing for others around them. It's not that they're neglected by the system. In fact, the system offers them more opportunity than it does to me. The system needs fixed, but it's not the fault of the system, not for most of them.
Don't get me wrong, I said most, not all.
But it remains. You can't just "get rid of them." They are people after all, most of them anyway. But there's not much you can do. You can try to help, but they mostly just take advantage of any charity and use it to fund their chosen addiction. Once a person gets like that, the only ones that can save them is themselves. I've been pretty low myself. But the truth is, you have to get up and try. Go somewhere, do something. Opportunity comes to those that make the effort. But when people give up like that, they aren't making the effort. They've committed to the lifestyle of addiction and bumming money off people.
Sure, there are some good people in their number who have been truly wronged by the world. It's for them that I wish I could have pity. But I can't tell them apart from the majority that don't try and don't care, and who got down to where they are by their own means, giving up a life they once had in favor of addiction and apathy. The only way to tell them apart is to see the ones that stand out by making the effort to do something different. But you almost never see that 'cause almost none of them ever do that.
And that's a shame.
@@insoporous9978 Yeah I remember visiting LA and walking around seeing the homeless people shaking cups with drug parafenalia proudly on display on their little setups, right next to the boogie board. They made it really clear where your money was going if you chose to give them any. Here on the east coast there are also plenty of addicts, but also just a lot of people with mental problems. Not people who "fell behind and were left behind by the system" but people whose issues would prevent them from holding down a job, and those people I wish our system did more for.
I think because of the presence of winter here on the east coast you see more of the latter than on the west coast, not because there are less mentally ill people there, but because states like CA have thrown off the ratio wildly by allowing homelessness to become a tacitly supported lifestyle choice rather than a circumstance you find yourself in after a run of bad luck.
I would be interested to see reviews of other cities, should you take a USA trip in the future. Its a big place, and different regions are different experiences.
As a san diego resident and frequent viewer, san diego does indeed go hard.
I liked the flashing lights warning a lot 👍
Thank you
Martin, since u liked Sand Deeyego because everything was within walking distance, why not give New York a try? The state as a whole is as diverse as you can get. Mountains in north and west, with a lot of beuatiful scenery, amazing beaches on both the Great Lakes and the Atlantic Ocean, epic 300ft views over the Hudson river, and NYC: the densest collection of tourist attractions I know of. Also, outside of Lower Manhattan, the rest of Manhattan is very easy to navigate and actually very walkable. NYC water is some of the cleanest of any US city, meaning tap water is not only safe, but tastes almost like filtered water.
Plus, you can have pizza rivalled by only the home of the pizza itself.

thanks for adding knocking into the video I thought someone was trying to break into my house
Every time I see someone take a trip to America and they end up in freaking LA, I die a little on the inside. LA is a disgusting hole of a city in a disgusting hole of a state. Screw the west coast, go visit the east coast for a good time.
You're totally right about Vegas, though. It's become a way worse place over the last 3 years.
I’d go one step further and say that the USA is a disgusting hole. There’s nothing of particular interest, it’s no cheaper than anywhere in Europe, South America has way better culture, food, and experiences for a third of the cost. The USA is like a person wearing Gucci in a McDonald’s; dressed up nice but actually shit.
In spannish, the suffix "-ito" means little, so the name "martincito" means something like "little martín"
Would that imply the existence of a legendary and much biggah boi called MARTINO?
Also greetings from México, glad you liked the mexican clubs

the fucking knocking sound effect fucking got me lmao, well played martin
When we visited in the 90s, we actually bought a cheap used car, drove it for the trip, and then sold it off. Much simpler and cheaper than renting, though you do get all the things associated with a used car, like once we had to ask for a jump start because the battery charger was crapping out.
The frog is coming
How about he goes to New Zealand (Australia DLC)
Or S.E asia (Balkan expansionpack)
Over in the southern states we can just pay with out card. It's pretty consistent that we can, say for maybe that tipping culture allows underpaid waiters and waitresses along with places sometimes adding tips to a pool to be split among the workers.
I had headphones on and the knocks came from all directions, scared the shit out of me
The reason why the VLOG is doing so poorly is because the video is age restricted. Many people probably haven’t added their ID card to their Google account to verify their age (like myself).
So yeah, I think that’s the reason. It’s not that people aren’t interested or wouldn’t watch it again to help you out, but they just can’t even access it without modifying their Google account 😢
very true and yt sucks
It’s always kinda sad so many people flock to Cali as their first American experience. It really shouldn’t be. The state is infamously a hell hole, it’s full of homelessness and crime and yet it’s for some reason the go-to place. I know it was for a convention but I’d love to see you explore the east coast and maybe the south.
For how hyped up Cali is, I was immeasurably disappointed when I visited it. And this is coming from someone who has lived in the goddamn Midwest his whole life
You’d be better off going anywhere other than California
I’m wearing headphones and the knocking TERRIFIED ME
As a local of San Diego, I am glad you enjoyed my crack den of an area. Did you try any of the Wee?
As someone with $28, yes, once you get behind you're screwed. Even worse if you've never been ahead at any point.

@@Justzay115 Nah, the mainstream rhetoric is:
"Yeah we fucked up, but... hey, y'know, shit happens" *shrug* -The U.S Government
I'm not talking of anything recent either, the fucking of the American Ass begins all the way back to when the Dollar Bill became backed by a literal I, O, and U.
I feel fucked because everytime I look at a dollar in my hand, I know it is worth absolutely nothing.
It's not backed by gold (we don't have any)
It's not backed by silver (do people really still think there's anything in Fort Knox anymore?)
Thanks to Franklin Dickhead Roostervelt, or FDR for short, the money in my pocket is backed by nothing but a "Thanks, we owe you" from the fork tongue suits on crapitol hill.
...Bit of a long one so I hope the bad language is at least entertaining
Honestly come to the East Coast sometime. There's a reason so many people call New York City the greatest city in the world. In a way, it's almost like visiting four cities at once, since Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, and Da Bronx all have different styles and cultures, and their own standout draws. It's got enough unique draws and attractions that even someone who's lived in the city their whole life can still find ways to be a tourist in their own hometown.
this vlog style of content is nice
4:14 duuuude that knocking scared the shit out of me... especially with headphones i really thought for a second someone was in *my* walls lmao
As a German I thankfully lack the fear of something getting into my walls. Nothing is going to get into any walls over here. In other certain countries you can punch a hole in a wall, here the wall will just laugth at you and ask if it should break your other hand too.

Yeah, you'll get a ridiculously different experience if you visit other areas of the country. The West Coast, Midwest, Northeast, East Coast, and the South are all completely different culturally and environmentally. Next time, if you want what I would call an overall nicer experience, visit the South. *The food is so good...*
The food alone is enough reason to visit the south
Only works if your white. If your black or Mexican they get real angry real quick and threaten to toss you over the merican border wall Trump built

About the homeless thing, doesn’t it logically make more since that there is more homeless people in America then Australia since America is over 12x bigger In population then Australia? Good vid regardless.
He also went to California. We have A LOT of homeless
The US is also fucking huge, so just build more houses.
Honestly Mart, I'd say the next trip you and the bois should take would be to Florida, while yes the homeless population is still pretty shocking compared to Australia, it's nowhere near as fucked as California. Plus we got a *lot* of theme parks and stuff in Orlando if you're into that, and I'm pretty sure there's also a gun range similar to the one in Vegas here too.
To be fair, the Tampa/Orlando area is pretty chill by comparison. Maybe you’d know more of the nightlife, but I gotta say the parks are pretty good. Mind you I’m not as thrilled about parks, but overall they were fun.
Honestly, if he were looking for ‘chill mountain vibes’ I’d recommend the smokies. Gatlinburg and Pidgin Forge are pretty chill, and have tons of stuff to do without as much of the psychosis of a major city. Also, we drive 70 to 80 instead of 80 to 95 on our parkways out this way.
He may be okay with the nicer parts of Chicago, but Chicago is also kinda fucked by the rampant crime rate; tho it’s not as bad as NYC. I think, I haven’t checked the stats in a while.
So I mean he has options on the east coast, but the South Floridaman experience might be more his speed.
@@davidthorp01 yep, just gotta watch out for snowbirds and their shitty driving
@@davidthorp01 Also now that I think about it anywhere on the east coast would be pretty chill compared to the west coast.
You should have gone to either the grand canyon or Sedona. truly magnificent, you have to be there in person in order to capture the scale.

What you said at around 0:55 is universally true across America. We're stuck in a culture of workaholics and fear towards social welfare programs. Even in 'progressive' places like California, It's completely impossible to miss even a single day of work.
Maybe because we know those social programs don’t work because you people don’t want to actually take the time and find out if someone needs the help or is just trying to scam the system
@@thefallen501st9 That's why you have systems where you have to actually prove you are applying for jobs and making and effort.
Those systems are what america currently has but aren't working because it's really fucking hard to get a job when you are homeless
More like on the west coast i dont see that many homeless people here
Let's be real, going to only Cali/Vegas is not the greatest way to experience the US...
I too am always stressed driving behind and beside huge trucks going that speed. Already cracked my windshield 2 different times this year when one passed me when I was already going over the speed limit. They can be some big assholes for no reason
