I literally laughed for 20 minutes when the one lady said “melatonin” instead of melanin. 🤣
What was the difference again?
@@BambinaSaldana Melatonin is kind of hard to explain but, essentially, it makes you stay asleep and wake up.
Melanin is the pigment in our skin that determines our color.
She did a really good job explaining everything though. Difficult question.
@@Swoopert So, melatonin controls whether or not you are awake, while melanin controls your skin color?
@@BambinaSaldana yes, essentially. It’s a bit more complicated but that is the basic meaning.
@@Swoopert ohh ok ok ok
I feel like an idiot. I don’t know why I said melatonin, not Melanin. I take melatonin for sleep and must have just had that word on the brain. I’m so sorry I screwed up. I should have watched the video again before I sent it. I know better, and I’m really sorry I screwed this up.
Things happen my dear.
It's to misspeak. Don't worry.
It happens... ^_^
Katie, please don't fret! It happens to all of us. When I was in high school, I was deathly afraid of saying "orgasm" instead of "organism" (we'd learned about both in Biology). I barely spoke during that course.
Years later, I befriended a Tongan couple who assisted with elder care. I referred to them as Auntie and Uncle. Uncle was very playful, and always doing kind things for the seniors. I asked Auntie what the word was in Tongan for flirt. A few days later, I asked Uncle if all of the old folks loved him because he was a whore.🤷♀🤦♀ I share in the hope of bringing you a laugh. Have a great night/day. ♡
Not a big deal. Everyone misspeaks sometimes. Everybody knew what you meant to say.
Please don't think all Westerners have swimming pools. The majority of working class people, for example, do not. Also, lots of people live in units[apartments] too.
When are americans ever a metric that is a valid ground to messure?
Never have they been representative of western values or traditions. Its shameful I said so many times, dont compare apples to pears. But ignorance keeps continuing.
True, that is Not a common house!!! The average house is smaller. Also it looks like she's still going thru the process of moving in; which is why it is so very clean.
We all have swimming pools
@@kefirmroku4494 Walmart has them on sale for $298 usd. We are over consumers for sure so I joined a country club with a pool instead. I love Poland, more sensible and hard to imagine a tacky above ground pool. The only pools I've seen in a private residence, anywhere in Europe have been indoors . I have an in ground ool in my backyard. I call it an ool because I prefer to keep the P out of it. Baboo, come for a swim anytime.
@@planesight1142 It might be common where that woman lives in Cali. I lived in Florida for 20 years and pools were common, but I spent my pre-teens, and teenage years in NYC, I don't remember ever seeing a pool.
I just want to correct the woman who answered Babu Bhai's question at around 5:00. The pigment called melanin is what gives us the different skin tones. White people have less melanin than other people.
The rest of what she said is correct, but its melanin NOT melatonin. Melatonin is the hormone which makes us feel sleepy.
Great video as always! Hope you guys do more Q&As. Always looking forward to your videos.
Thank you. I was hoping someone would correct that.
I came to say the same thing glad someone cleared it up
Was looking for this, glad it's been noted. Not hard to get those two words confused but melanin is definitely for skin pigment and melatonin is definitely the sleep hormone!
@@1l0v3tr011ing Me, too, especially since she explained it a lot better than I would, at the moment.
Along with your correction regarding Melanin (thanks, saves us all typing same thing!)
It would be nice if more information regarding skin pigmentation such as absorption of Vitamin D which we get through direct sunlight on bare skin, and then our bodies turn it into a hormone in our liver and depending on how much pigment, melanin, we have in our skin depends how long we must spend in the sun to make enough vitamin D at different latitude hence why people in N Europe evolved into having pale skin - anyway it is super interesting but would likely be too much for the video!
I would add though, to the answer of why people with darker skin often try or wish to lighten their skin, and people with lighter skin often try or wish to darken the skin - the answer often harks back to status/class. For example someone with darker skin who works outside in manual work will become darker, so for some of these people, having paler skin was a way of showing you did not have need to work out in the sun. Historically in western countries and cultures the same pattern was seen - darker skin from sun exposure indicating working outdoors in lower income jobs with the wealthy light skinned people avoiding the sun to remain as pale a complexion as possible. However in more recent years this has kind of flipped in western countries, where being able to sit outside, go on exotic holidays, sunbathe and tan, have become a kind of wealth/status indicator, that they can afford this life of leisure.
Not all Western countries are cold. I'm in Texas and we're on the same latitude as Cairo, Egypt. It's 40c today
I live in the Midwest (Indiana) and I found that 120° F in Phoenix, Arizona feels to me like 75° F in Indiana due to the low humidity in the southwest. Indiana has rediculously high humidity in summer and I'm used to it.
Its becuse white people in texas are not native to the area. If you want a representation of the people who would have lived there its the indians.
Thats becuse europeans (americans) originate from, obviously europe. which has a colder climate. Southern europeans are somewhat darker in the skintones than for example scandinavians and brits
@@viikmaqic
Native Americans in Texas have generally been fairly light-skinned comparatively.
@@garyballard179 true
@@viikmaqic Probably not the best time to use the confusing term "Indian" for our natives since these three actually live in India
Thank you Villagers. I'm a citizen of the United States and I thought all of the questions and answers were very good. I believe that average citizens of different nations talking to one another directly, instead of through the filter of politics or news organizations is a good thing. Please keep up the good work. I hope that the Villagers will travel to many of these countries someday.
I heard that the "ideal" skin colour comes from public perception to wealth, or certainly historical ideas.
In countries like India where more people work outside, lighter skin indicates you worked an office job and so likely are more upper class. In countries like the UK where more people work inside, having a tan is an indication that you can afford to go on expensive holidays to hot countries and so are upper class. I'm not sure if people still view it the same today (as in, in terms of wealth), but the long standing perceptions still last.
I believe people here subconsciously hold to it, although It depends on people.
I think perhaps in working classes this is still somewhat true in the west, as tanning salons are popular mostly among the working classes. At least here in the UK anyway.
Having a tan in the UK in summer means that you most likely work outside, probably in the building trade, to me anyway.
Yes, a line in the viking eddas refers to that; as to how to tell a man's wealth by the weathering of their skin. That was only about their society, which was predominantly white. Those who spent their time indoors were pale, those who worked for a living had darker, more weathered skin. It never referred to race.
I think most people think the mid-point between pale and dark looks best. The "bronze" sort of look. I could be wrong though.
There's also exceptions, some people look very good as pale and some as dark.
But yeah as you said, some people just go and bake in the sun to show they were on vacation.
They're so genuine and sincere and innocent... I'm gonna cry ; - ;
It makes you not want them to become 'westernized' eh! 🇬🇧🇺🇸
People from Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, Mexico, and other warm climates would be more acclimated to hot temperatures during the day and cooler temps at night.
I can hardly imagine why, as everytime i was there everyone was hiding in ac'd cars and buildings, and they were REALLY chilly with temperatures of about 18 Celsius. Where's my sweater?
Southern California is desert also. In the summer we have over 100 degree weather inland.
And then you have Louisiana where it stay hot throughout the night, too.
@@enderoctanus It's hot at night like that here in my part of Central Texas too. But y'all's air stays sticky all the time as well. That's a whole different level of hot, heavy air in LA. 🥵
Well not in Las Vegas , it's still hot at night, maybe not as hot but still hot at night....
5:35 it's melanin not melatonin. Two different functions.
I know i heard that and came right here lol
Also different things
I know this and feel like a total idiot. I take melatonin for sleep and don’t know why I kept saying that instead of Melanin. Now this is published, and it’s my bad for not viewing my video before I sent it in. I’m sorry. I know better and really screwed this up.
@@MaxGeaux don’t beat yourself up it was a funny mistake 😂😂 i’m sure the producers corrected it after
@@MaxGeaux I figured. Honest mistake.
Fewer and fewer westerners are leaving home at 18. There is no law that says you must. And it depends on the country. You usually reach legal adulthood at 18, so that just means you can move out if you want to. College students usually leave at 18 to go to college.
I left to get married and go to school. Then I came back. Then I left to see if I wanted to acquire a new husband. Then I came back. I lived for over a decade in the same city as my parents and then my father died and, after my mother and I had lived apart from our respective husbands for a while, we relented and now share that home in the video. She is a daughter of US Mexican citizens and her mother's generation was the first to move out of the multigenerational household and into homes of their own, at least in her family. Her sister's son and his son live with her along with his girlfriend. Italians often do this as well. My two Italian friends live in multigenerational homes. My Romanian friend, however, refuses to let her children live with her lol She says "I come here to America and raise daughter. She is spoiled. I tell her America spoil her. Her father spoil her. I spoil grandchildren only!" 😂
I know, right… I’m afraid these guys are getting an eschewed view of what the west is like… which is sad because they really take everything at face value, they are so innocent.
I love this format. Questions and Answers are a great way to connect with us. I hope this will have more videos of this kind in the future!

The answer to the question about the temperature in western countries. Lots of Western countries have seasons....cold in the winter, hot in the summer, cool in the fall and mild in the spring. Some places can have mostly hot and other can have mostly cold. Western countries do not all have the same temperature just because they are western.
Well said. I live in Michigan with four seasons.
even in india the climate varies widely
@@margareteraab3899 I moved from Michigan to southern Arizona. There are basically 2 seasons here: Very hot & not so hot..
Yes - they would probably be amazed at the diversity of climate and cultures in the US
Ohio likes to rotate seasons within the span of a few weeks sometimes. Hot, humid summers, cold, windy winters.
"Master bedroom" just means the bedroom for the main residents. Usually it's the parents. Then you have a regular bedroom for the kids or visitors. "Master" just means "main", or "primary", it's not indicative of size or quality (although in general it will be the largest bedroom in the house). In the case there is only one bedroom, it's the "master bedroom" by default.
Also, in newer houses master bedrooms often have their own attached bathroom. and a larger closet than the other bedrooms.
@@sarco64 This (IMO) is a key distinction for a "master bedroom"
master bedrooms mean they have there own bathroom is all
@@venomgeach9690 It's not required that the master bedroom have a bathroom. They just usually do for convenience.
@@andychow5509 every home i have built the past 35+ years always has a bathroom in the master bedroom, the term master bedroom was from the 1920's started by Sears company
I just keep feeling like I want to correct some of these answers. It is very rare for a child to get their parents permission and move out at 16. When she said there is a law, that doesn't mean that you have to do it or that it is common. There is a law that allows it, but there is no requirement to do it. I don't know one single person that got their parents to let them move out at 16 and I am 58, so I have been around for awhile.
I knew a girl that moved out at 12 due to abuse issues. And definitely 16 year olds. It's definitely more common than you think
I agree, the only times I hear about a child moving out at 16 is usually if they were not safe at home and did not have any better options.
Just to add to / correct the "melatonin" answer about skin color. The chemical is not melatonin - melatonin helps with sleep. This is an easy mistake to make because the chemical is a very similar sounding word - melanin. So melanin is the thing that controls our skin pigment.
What she said about skin color being determined by ancestors is mostly true. I will just add, 100-200+ years ago it was actually preferable to have pale skin because that implied a person was "wealthy" and did not work outside. This gradually changed over time for various social reasons that are a little complicated. But, it is true that if you went back in time a few hundred years, you would see people applied powder to their skin to appear "lighter". Incidentally the powder that people applied hundreds of years ago often caused serious long term problems because they had much less knowledge about things like lead poisoning and such things
Love your show guys, really, it's great!
I screwed up. I know the difference. I take melatonin to sleep and was nervous making the video, thus I kept misspeaking. I feel really foolish.
@@MaxGeaux you meant melanin right?
@@MaxGeaux i dont think its a big deal. you could have said strontium and the point still would have come across!
@@Idkdude50 I did. I was nervous, and I take melatonin for sleep. I just screwed up. I know the difference. I feel like a huge idiot.
Yes this is a good explanation and we understood what was said at first, I’m of a darker skin, what people will call light skin not white and my forefathers were from Ireland and they were light skin to white, but by the 1400 and 1500s people were very mixed by then so imagine now. I go back that far because I can trace my family that far back and even more. But the rule of skin is that if you tan you can protect your skin more, in my opinion I think that damages your skin both ways.
Typical temperatures in my "cold" country (I live in the south of Québec, Canada) swing from 35ºC in summer to -25ºC in winter. And sometimes in spring we have wild daily variations, as if all 4 seasons were competing violently.
Same here in Sweden
Same here in Finland. I have had a heat stroke already this summer, couldn't even get out of bed because I was so exhausted and dehydrated. Also some winters have been so cold that you feel your nose hair freeze into what feels like a dried up paintbrush.
I live very close to you, and newly settled immigrants are always surprised when they go through their first winter!
Denmark isn't so bad .
The coldest winter I remember was 1982... It was - 31C.
Oddly enough that also the highest temp. I remember. + 31C.
New Englander here. "All 4 seasons competing violently" is a perfect way of describing those kind of days.
Sarru:: I Live In Florida (U.S.A.) & The Heat Here Is Very Similar To Your Country,, BUT,, Your Highest Humidity Level Is 60% & Ours Is 75%,, Which Makes The Heat Even More Unbearable..
Also,, What Little Winter/Cold We Have,, You & Most Others Consider No Real Winter..Blessings To You All From Florida. 🙏❤
Guys, the houses you have seen have been in California, and a bit fancier than the average house. Most houses do not have swimming pools. Kitchens tend to be a little bit smaller than those shown to you. Usually there is one large bedroom, the master bedroom for the husband and wife, and one or two smaller bedrooms for the children. Those large TV's are not expensive, about 1 week's salary. This house is in San Diego, a place with very good weather but very high house prices. A typical house there costs about what one average person would earn in about 10 years. Housing costs are much less in other places, about half that much. Regards to all.
@@thekaren1111 YES! This lol
This is correct. I fought 12 other people for the opportunity to buy this home, which was only on the market for 24 hours. It was priced a slight bit above the *current* average, which is horribly high at the moment. Most people in my neighborhood have a pool because pools were extremely popular during the time it was built. It's funny because many homes out here used to have pools but the owners filled them in as they are expensive to maintain and can cause problems if not taken care of correctly.
@@Distorteddesignshop Ma'am I as an Indian am feeling extremely grateful to see such a beautiful, lavish, luxurious and posh house. My dream is to go and visit America one day and see how developed and civilized people are there.
@George Gonzalez, I agree most houses do not have a swimming pool. The house shown is likely more affordable to upper middle income people; especially in California where the house market has alway been a lot higher than in other states. The middle and lower income people live in more modest houses. Some cannot afford to pay a mortgage so they live in rented houses or apartments. Perhaps in the future, the villagers can see the wide variety of homes that people dwell in throughout the US. Greetings from West Texas 🌞🌵🌻
Now this was about 35 years ago, but the rooming house I lived in had several tenants from Asia. They always asked about real homes. My reply was always Roseanne or Grace under fire.
Yes, some of us are wealthy, but certainly not everyone! Show them mobile home parks, although some are really nice. We live in a suburban neighborhood, and the lots are close together. There are above ground pools, and plenty of barbecue grills on deck or porch. Inground pools are for rich people in my experience.
I can handle cold weather like a champ. But when it hits 30C here in Canada I'm hiding inside with the AC on full blast, lol. I also got severe heat stroke when I was younger which made me a lot more sensitive to the heat.
Oh no than don´t come to Austria -- it gets up to 35% and normally we can survive w/o A/C , yes that is possible
HOW THA heck did you achieve heat stroke in Canada? lol. I live in central Florida and work outside a lot, mid summer too. Shade, water and pace yourself is key, but as I was young person once..... I understand. Oh and I can't handle cold, people around me walk around in t-shirts saying its chilly, and I'm in my winter jacket zipped up, add any kind of wind to it and I'm cussing.
@@unclejim1528 In 2007 we had 2 weeks of 40C+. I work in the oil fields and was pretty much stuck in the sun, day in day out the entire time.
Just not used to it, young and on a drilling rig where it's not like you can just tell your driller, "Hey, it's hot I'm taking a break." lol
You remind me of a couple from texas that came up to my hometown in july with full winter gear cause they thought Canada didn't have summers. 😏😏
@@Kman31ca I concur with what you said. Canada is the country of extremes and the heat can get deadly. On days like you described, by law there have to be designated cooling places (malls, community centres) for the homeless and people who don’t have AC. Cheers.
More of these please! I like them asking questions more than answering them.
8-hour workdays Monday thru Friday is a typical work week so 40 hours per week. You guys are awesome I hope one day you get to visit the US and get to experience everything you want to God bless.
This! I wish that the ones who answered the question had clarified that.
The reason some people lay out in the sun to get a sun tan is that tanned skin was considered a beauty standard for a while, and still is for some people. The reason it was considered a beauty standard is that it was associated with wealth, the idea being that if you had the leisure time to spend on the beach or playing tennis, you were upper-class.
This is a reversal of how it was earlier in our history, when the sign of wealth was whiter skin, because it meant you didn't have to toil in the fields.
The practice of tanning and "sun bathing" has declined significantly, as we've come to recognize that it's bad for your skin, can cause skin cancer, and ages your skin prematurely. People now generally try to protect themselves with shade, extra clothing, and/or sun screen (the lotion that was mentioned).
Yeah I’m from Germany and any time the sun is out people wanna get tanned cuz they don’t like pale skin. Like I’m extremely pale and I get called “cheese”, which is a common thing to call those who are very white.
How can I send a video of most houses that are apartments, without pools and dishwashers.
Homemade Tortillas are fabulous. I am sure I would love roti, as well.
I really love Mexican food
I absolutely *loved* this one. We see so much from India and learn so much from the channel, answering *their* questions makes us feel much closer together. Please do more like this.
They need to understand that education is free in most western countries and compulsory, and also highly valued. We have access to libraries and other things that are less common where they are, so knowing about things like melanin is extremely common. Also, genetics is the reason for differences in appearance. One family can have people inclined to have an olive complexion, and others with pale skin, because they have inherited different genes. Genes are the building blocks of all living things. As for leaving home, it is just the culture of many western countries that as a young person becomes an adult, they then decide when they want to move out of their parent's home, and make their own homes. It is not compulsory, nor is it illegal after the age of sixteen or even younger in some places. We value independence and the ability to learn by our mistakes, and we make our own decisions as we become independent. We still love our family and see them often, unless we move away. But we keep in touch. And while we discuss things with our parents, we ultimately make our own choices in life, and there is no patriarchal or matriarchal figure who tells us what to do. The idea of having to do as we are told by our parents as adults is unacceptable. Instead, we talk things through, sometimes accepting and sometimes rejecting their advice. Independence is respected and admired.
Most western countries, not the United States. Education is only free if the childs parents are on assistance and that only applies to primary education. College isn't free and very exspensive. If a child works hard in primary school, and is good at sports then they may receive scholarships and or grants to pay for college. And it's also illegal in the 🇺🇸 for a child to not go to primary school. Parents will get their children taken away from them by the State if the child misses to much school. There's a saying in the 🇺🇸, Our children have to go to school, children in third world countries get to go to school if they are blessed.
Even in India it's supposed to be free and compulsory. They are in a hard to reach place though.

Namaste my friends! I live in the southwestern US. Our summers can reach 41c or more. We can have very cold winters and we also get monsoons in summer. Some people just cannot bear the extremes. Thank you for your curiosity and your questions and sharing yourselves with us!
Thank you for including my answer about colder climate :)
This was great this kind of thing is how we get rid of stereotypes and really connect with people from all over the world. Thank You
I live in Florida. It is usually in the high 90's Fahrenheit during summer but can reach over 100 degrees. Florida has high humidity too, which makes it feel like a sauna when you open your front door.
Usually inside at home, schools, grocery stores, we have air conditioning but when I was growing up we did not have that. It is now normal for most people to have air conditioning but of course not all do. So, we have it easier inside housing, stores and most jobs.
In the winter we may have a few cold weeks, but most of the time in the winter, we may have a cooler week or day then it goes to 60 or 70 degrees. It has gotten very cold, below freezing or freezing, here but it is very rare.
I live for those days.
Historically through and for evolutionary reasons, people closer to the equator were darker-skinned than people closer to the polar regions. There is actually a biological reason for this. The amount of sun required by populations indigenous to equatorial regions was way more than enough to cause serious damage so the pigmentation offers protection to mitigate the sun's harm. You could also argue that people in equatorial regions have adapted to thrive in an area with such harmful amounts of sun, by developing darker skin and producing adequate levels of vitamin D at much higher rates of exposure. This of course goes back millennia.
People in northern regions have adapted to be more sensitive to the sun and there fore require much less sun in order to produce adequate levels of vitamin D. People in these places also tend to consume much more vitamin D rich oily fish. It's a fascinating topic really and it explains huge parts of our individual development.
Add to that you need Vitamine D to develope strong healthy bones.
Yeah, I wish her answer would’ve included the vitamin D aspect.
You answered Babu's question perfectly.
@@bus6292 Thnx! I wish there was a way to let him know. 😊

One thing that shines through is how absolutely loved ,respected and cherished these gentlemen are held by us alll in such high esteem..Seeing such positive attitudes from ever learning from each other's cultures is a beautiful thing..I wish could cook you three chaps some nice vegetarian food..nothing nicer than cooking food for good souls!
So many different answers could be given to these questions, depending on where one lives, and what income bracket they are in. Where I live, on the north shore of Illinois, many children go off to study at university at age 18. They live at home during the summer breaks, and some will live at home after graduation, so they can save money, get a job, etc… 🙂
The answers are incredibly vague.
I agree with you, and I worry that they are getting an eschewed image of the West…
From Poland (kinda different, as each country is)
1. average working hours?
- first of all, we don't usually (!) works 7 days a week, most of the people works 5 days a week (unless your job require 24/7 survivalence like doctor or system administrator). So it's 40h a week, 8h a day (in 5 day working shift). "Fun fact" - European countries starting developing 4 days of working, but still 40h a week. But as girls said... depends, sometimes people work more or less (if it's part time job or extra hours or just type of job that "needs" 12h of work)
2. can you survive in hot country?
- sure do :) we are here in Poland in moderate climate so we have 4 seasons, where winter is coldest (even -35C in coldest places and circumstances) and summer (we have it now) is hottest and we have 30-40C. But most of the time (so in fall and spring) we have around 0-10C.
3. why you're white?
- woman did literally 100% correct answer (besides giving melatonin instead of eumelanin as source of changing color)
note aside: that's kinda sad that for them that knowledge is SO FAR AWAY that it "takes 15-20 years" to learn, when in reality you learn this as child in first days you starting understanding mother language
4. how house looks from inside?
- personal question, and I don't mean it's offensive, but vary sooo much... especially in middle Europe where we have broad history of communism and people have some kind of mindset to keeping everything and not updating stuff, so we have kinda "bad environment" of old houses. Note for guys - what girl showed up is much bigger than average household here, so "west is not equal to west" :wink:
note aside: even that "old houses and interiors" are much better than they have (which you can hear from them)... so we should appreciate more what we have
5. what's your must have thing to eat in country?
- depends on country, like literally even few km can make the difference, so Mexico is a good example of that. In Poland probably it'd be bread or potatoes... they literally put it everywhere
6. if and why kids leaves at 18 home?
- simple answer? Independence + culture, being independent is some cultural thing, that you know how to live on your own, you can develop your life, your own family. But this also varies, as it always does.... in Europe in the more "eastern" parts, people tend to live a little longer with their parents, for example I'm 25 and I live with them, not because I don't want to move out, but because I want to make them a good looking house, so I renovate it, after that (beginning of next year) I move out, and they understand that. I don't have a girlfriend, I don't have any debts.... so I'm not rushed with this decision, it's a good place to sleep, I can travel wherever I want from here, but at the same time I pay 100% of the rent to my parents as I would normally do...
Sarru 's question about temperature .....I live in New Orleans, Louisiana (USA)where the heat and humidity is always high. We are surrounded by water as in the gulf of Mexico, Lake Ponchatrain and several lakes and rivers and canals, bayous, marshland which is constantly a mosquito magnet. Our temperature in Fareignheit is about 90 - 100+ and humidity is usually close to 100%. But even though its hot here we also have seen snow a few times.
In the part of Los Angeles California that I live, in summer the temperature is frequently well over 100 degrees F. It is not unheard of to exceed 110 degrees F in August and September.
They won't have any comprehension of Fahrenheit. Unfortunately for America only they continue to use the Fahrenheit system.
@@WatchingDude Lol yeah I forget that sometimes. 100 degrees F = 38 degrees C and 110 degrees F = 44 degrees C
Thanks for the reminder! 😃
Melatonin! Lol. She ment Melanin! Melatonin is a hormone that helps you relax and sleep.
Oh, I have enough melanin but wouldn't mind some melatonin then.
That is what I meant and I feel like a complete idiot. I know better. I take melatonin to sleep and think that’s why I kept saying it. I was nervous making the video. This is wildly embarrassing.
@@MaxGeaux I get it!!! The only reason I caught it was because I take melatonin at night too. I've made that mistake to my husband who now asks me if I'm trying to get a tan tonight every time he sees me take it. Don't feel bad! Laughing at yourself is much more fun. I started calling going to bed "the tanning booth".
Temperatures here on the eastern side of England, can reach as high as 36C sometimes. Thankfully not often because I suffer terribly. My ancestors came from Germany and northern Europe so I prefer colder weather. I could not live in India. I would die.
Lots of Americans that work 40 hours a week. Still go home and take care of farm animals, children, gardens, and their home. Some even work more than one job. My husband drives a semi truck and he works 6 days a week 60-65 hours a week. He has a schedule to follow so he gets the required amount of sleep between each day! I live in TN and lately it has been really hot, heat index was 115 yesterday. Love your channel!
Babu, a master bedroom is basically the largest bedroom in the house. Usually the one owned by parents.
Or. the homeowners with no children or who may be single. :)
In most places of the US, people work 8hrs per day, 5 days (40hrs) per week. I usually work 10-12hrs per day or 50-60hrs per week.
I live in one of the colder areas in the US, Northern Minnesota. I have seen temperatures here of 103F (40C) during the summer and as low as -6oF (-51C) during the winter.
Here in the US, we have many of the available climates as America is a very big country. We have humid continental, humid subtropical, marine, Mediterranean, dry Stepp, desert, subarctic, tundra & warm tropical climates.
I am also of Irish & Germanic decent but, unlike the woman who replied to your question, I rarely get a sunburn and my skin becomes very dark when working outdoors even though my skin is naturally white. That being said, I dislike working in temps above 90F (32C).
When a child turns 18 here in the US they will often, not always, move out of the family home to gain more independence, go to college or to join the military. Some of them do quite well and continue to live on their own. Some do not do well and end up moving back to their parents' house. Some return home to help support sick or elderly family members as well.
This is lovely ♥ what a way to connect and learn about each other's cultures. I really enjoyed this format!
This was so darned interesting. You are getting more and more creative, I love it!
To add some more detail about skin colour. Skin colour is different for the purpose of vitamin production and protection.
Vitamin D and thiamin are essential nutrients impacted by the sun. Thiamin is destroyed by UV radiation and therefore favours darker skin. The melanin in darker skin absorbs UV and prevents it damaging thiamin (as well as DNA). By contrast, vitamin D requires UV to synthesise and favours lighter skin.
The result is the spectrum of shades from the equator to the far north which find a ballance between these two opposing needs. In all ethnic groups, women typically have lighter skin as they have higher vitamin D demands in pregnancy and lactation (vitamin D is required for calcium absorption and therefore imlortant for bones, teeth and muscle function)
Thank you. This is the most important reason why not all humans have dark skin. We need vitamin D.
Well they got an example of what a house in a western country can look like, but it much depends on where the house is. A house in rural USA probably looks a little different than the one we got a tour of (thanks for showing your home by the way), a house in the Netherlands will not be similar to the American home and a house in England will be different from the Dutch house and so on. I guess one can say that we often adapt the architecture and interior design depending on the surroundings and the climate.
For work hours in America it depends on your job. You can be salary like me running a business and work from 60-80 hours a week. My parents who were lawyers sometimes had to work 100 hours a week and get no sleep depending on their case and trial situation.
Master bedroom is the biggest and nicest bedroom, where the master of the house lives. Parents typically get the master bedroom and kids get the smaller bedrooms.
I love the lady's map of Middle Earth on her wall!
Nice pick up. I didn't notice
I love this series of questions and answers back and forth. Please keep it up because even though I live in the west it's fun to see answers from other westerners and I always love learning about the guys lives. Thanks for the videos!!
I rarely comment on any videos but would like to say I love this type of videos from you guys. Please have more!
Also, some people have more melanin (not melatonin, that helps you sleep and melanin makes your skin darker).
I moved out of my parents' house to be more independent but moved back in when my parents got elderly; I did not move out until I was about 21, so that I had a good job and could pay my bills.
I live in a double-wide manufactured home with three bedrooms; it has a bigger bedroom that was my parents' that is generally called a master bedroom, but the other bedrooms are smaller. Since I live in America, we have a generally open floorplan with all rooms (kitchen, living room, and dining room) being open to each other. In some places they call it an American floorplan. The lady who showed you her house's floorplan also had an open floorplan. It is very popular here (rather than all the rooms being shut off from the others which is often called a traditional floorplan).
I live in a state which has spring, summer, autumn, and winter. Autumn and winter are chillier and spring and summer are warmer. I live in West Virginia. January is the coldest month with an average temp of 1 degree Celsius. July is normally the hottest with an average temp of 23 Celsius. It can get much colder and much hotter. It rains the most in the spring, and it does snow here too in the winter. Some states here are mostly desert states who do not have cold temps (unless they have higher elevation/mountains); they're in the western states, and I live in the east. We have some mountains here and it does get colder there in the winter time and it is cooler in the summer too.
One more point if you will: Most people work 40-hour work week. It includes working 5 days a week, Monday through Friday, eight hours a day. Some people have a 60-hour work week. Also in the US, this means two weeks a year for vacations (holiday). It is my understanding that those in Europe usually get at least one month for holiday.
Yes the lady realised soon after she got mixed herself up. She has asked the Sir in Patreon to inform our village friends of her accidental error. Thank you for noticing and helping
One of my friends works 80-100 hours a week. But he is in the entertainment industry and that's not at all unheard of with them. The crap his company pulls to try to not give him time and a half pay is full of some serious time bending gymnastics. He does not technically get days off but he does have time between projects to mess around.
In the USA, many kids move out of their parent's homes at age 18 to attend college/university. After they graduate, some go back home and others do not.
It's is very hot in Texas right now! Like India summers.... we have had little to no rain here I live ....and it has been between 37.8°C (100°F) to 46.1°C (115°F) very many days now in most of my state!! I work about 40-50 hours a week. 1000's of years ago, hunter gatherers from the North who lived in low light and had fair skin contributed to the reason Europeans - and in turn - many Westerners/Americans (inbreeding and migration) still have light skin. It's a part of evolution. A lot of 18 year olds also leave home at 18 because it is the typical age that student graduates from one school (called High School most places) and leave to attend a trade school or college often times away from where they grew up. :)
I find it so interesting learning how life & people are in different cultures, geographic locations and languages. I probably won't ever get to travel to India and meet these wonderful men & their families so I appreciate that I get to visit them here.
Sarru: The climate in the US varies widely dependent on where you live. I live in Dallas, Texas and today, July 7th at 1:00 pm in the afternoon, it is already 96* Farenheit. The summers in Texas and most of the southern states have hot and sunny days from May until November. It also gets very cold in Dallas in late November thru March; we rarely have snow -- more prone to sleet (icy rain). And as you have seen on videos, we get tornadoes in West and North Texas March thru May, and the Gulf Coast of Texas like Houston gets hurricanes August thru November. I prefer warm weather over colder places in the US. Oh, and most importantly ..... Texas summers are surviable because EVERYthing and EVERYwhere is AIR CONDITIONED !!
🤣
I live in Arlington and had a busted a/c for 2 weeks 😂Its gonna be 104 soon but it is survivable. The random winter storms catch people off guard though. I prefer the fall and spring season sinces its not too hot or cold
bruh i live in frisco but im in pennsylvania for vacation, SO GLAD to escape that massive heatwave
I'm sure others have pointed out.... the house tour with the swimming pool, I would not consider a 'typical everyday house'.
Woot! Shout out to Milwaukee! I thought I was the only one over here watching!
They need others housing new and old buildings, neighborhoods who are well off and others low income. The difference between a well off and the ones who has all.
Sir Babu, A master bedroom is the main room of the house, usually has its own bathroom and walk in closet to answer your question hat was unanswered. 🙏🙏👍
Yes, typically for the parents here and the main bedroom which can be slightly larger
40 hours a week breaks down , Monday through Friday 8 am to 5pm, Sat and Sunday off work
what's even more interesting if we have light colored skin and we want dark or tanned skin sometimes we buy a cream called "Tanning Lotion" to help or "Self Tanner" which will color your skin while at home during the winter when you can't go out in the sun. We also use "Spray tan" which is spraying a color on your skin or "tanning booth" where you lie down or stand in a box that is full of special lightbulbs under a glass that will also color your skin
I bet they would find that strange, I would definitely like to see their reaction to before & after pictures. It would be very interesting :)
This was an awesome video! I too live in Milwaukee Wisconsin, just like the first ladies in the video. We get very cold in the winter...down to -6C and even colder! In the summer we have "hot for us" days where it is over 32C and sometimes hotter and VERY humid. I could not live in a place that is above 32C all the time. I sweat too much and I am too pale. The sun would burn my skin!
I’m going to just stop reading the comments. This is my favorite channel and I love these guys. I was so excited for the change to talk to the guys again, but the remarks calling me an idiot and making fun of me are really hurtful. I misspoke. I know the difference between melatonin and melanin. I shouldn’t even have to post anything more than I already have, which was to say I misspoke and felt foolish, but now I feel like I have to because people are being mean. I have a neurological condition which caused me to lose and eye, makes me hallucinate, and unfortunately, makes me mess up words sometimes. It isn’t intentional and it isn’t because I’m an idiot. I take melatonin for sleep, and my brain obviously had a fart causing me to keep saying melatonin instead of melanin. I’m sorry, but I’m only sorry this happened in a video I was making for the guys because I gave them the wrong term. I shouldn’t have to apologize or defend myself to random people on the internet, calling me names, and I shouldn’t have to divulge my medical disability in order for people to understand why I said the wrong word. Simply stating that I misspoke should have been enough, but here we are. Maybe I’m being sensitive, but I deal with this in real life when I’m having a bad brain day, and that’s frustrating enough. This condition disabled me, took away my ability to drive, work, or see anything properly anymore. I’m doing my best, and this just sucks extra because this channel is a place I come to to help me cope with the anxiety of my condition, and it was a big deal for me to publicly make videos for them, knowing I look funny, and sometimes sound funny. To those who have kindly responded, thank you. To those making fun of me, all I can say is that I hope you never make a public mistake, and if you do, I hope people are kinder and more generous with you than you have been with me.
Katie, keep coming back. Your comments are most important and others just need to be more respectful, which is mentioned many times in the comments as well. We all have these days and misspeak. Be strong and keep contributing.
Don't let anyone steal your peace. We all make mistakes and no one is safe from it. Your videos have been valuable contributions. Also they remembered you when they saw you again because you seem to be a very nice person and what you have said is very interesting. Just remember that a lot of people will only look at one small mistake to try to bring down what you've done. Those people will only achieve their goal if you let them. Do not do it, do not stress and do not give more importance to something that does not have it.
I hope to see you in another video. Greetings.
Thank you for contributing with your video. The 2 words are similar sounding and could easily get muddled. You did really well.
Hopefully there are respectful comments.
I'd encourage others to consider joining Patreon and providing answers next time. Thank you to our brave and helpful participants. Our village friends and viewers enjoyed it
It seems to me that everyone knew what you meant. I guess some people don’t make mistakes. Please don’t take it personally.
Katie,I was one of those people who wrote a mean comment,but I’ve now realized I was wrong for calling you out like that and have erased it. I apologize for being so rude about it,I could have communicated that to you in a much nicer way. Honestly I was just having a bad day and so I kinda took it out on you thinking you wouldn’t see the comment let alone have such a strong reaction to it. It was a little mistake ,everyone knew what you meant though,and you know what eff those people being so harsh on you they are probably just as miserable and depressed as me so try to ignore them and don’t let them discourage you or make you feel bad. We all make mistakes. -a random Mexican dude from Cali.
Aw, this is the best thing that could have happened to this channel! I hope this becomes a regularly thing every few months. It's so cool to see the internet and youtube continuing to connect people across cultures!
Here in the U.K. if teenagers move out at 18 it’s usually because they are leaving to go to university. Mine all left age 18 and only one came back for 8 months afterwards while she waited for her home to be finished being built.
Wish the house tour had been of a finished/furnished home that would show the lifestyle of a typical American, middle-class family in the suburbs. Then, a tour of a New York apartment with little space would be a good eye-opener as well. Americans have it good and then complain, so there is that. lol
Umm, exactly what part of the house was unfinished or unfurnished (other than the office, which had stuff in it but maybe wasn't 100% set up yet)? Did you watch a different video than I did? It showed pretty exactly what a middle-class suburban home looks like, complete with living room, sofas, TVs, kitchen, pantry, bathrooms, office, bedrooms, back yard, and even a pool (which is more upper-middle-class, and **not** typical of all houses). What more do you need? What more were you expecting?

My favorite series on any tribal channel
I'd like to let them know in NY we have 4 seasons and that is why people love NY. The weather changes drastically every 3 to 4 months
Probably why the first settlers in America named places after places in UK.. Washington, Birmingham, Boston, 'New' York, 'New' England, 'New' Jersey etc.. Reminded them of home, same seasons & climate etc 👍🇬🇧❤🇺🇸
Another big reason why 18-year-olds leave home in many Western cultures is because their parents want to finally have some peace, lol. While that is certainly true, it's also true that many of those same parents will miss their children terribly after they leave home, and there's a period of adjustment as they get used to a much smaller family living together. Oftentimes, the parents will then also move to a smaller house, since they don't need as much space.
If a family has parents and two children, the parents’ bedroom is called the master bedroom or master suite which includes a bathroom. The children have their own rooms.
@@dicknr1 I wasn’t representing America, I’m not from there.
Also when a person turns 18 they do not have to leave their parents home sometimes they go to college and they live at the college and come home for the holidays. It's a way of them learning how to be an adult and an adult world I guess for lack of a better word
Regarding the Q on moving out of the parental home at 18 - in many western countries this is the age when people tend to go to university. In the UK many students choose a university away from their home, and go away to study for, typically, 3 years for an undergrad degree.
Some of the students return to their parent's home after uni, others put down roots in the area where they studied, some move again for further study, work opportunities, love, etc.
Because the cost of living is so high in some places, and it is difficult for many people to afford their own home, so the average age that people actually 'leave home' and move from their parental home to their own space has increased considerable over the last 30+ years (in UK at least, idk if it is the same everywhere)
You should have been the person who answered their question. That’s spot on.
Hiya, may I ask that you oneday show them a video called Great Southern Land the multicultural version and it is a video about my wonderful home Australia
Good video, great answers. The house tour is more accurate, I think, than the big houses for the USA. People in warm places like southern California or Arizona might have pools. As far as temperature, it would be the humidity in India that would get me!! I live in a desert lol
I'm in Minnesota it's very humid we have over 10,000 lakes so very hot and humid and it also is very cold in the winter. I prefer 50° F to 80°F. But we do get to 100°f and a bit higher once or twice during the summer and -51°F in the winter.
@@LJBSullivan I've never been to Minnesota, but its cold temps are pretty famous! :D
i love when babu plays the drums because sarru truly is his biggest hype man LOLL
Guy from the Netherlands wouldn't want to be here in Memphis, Tenn. right now... Heat index was 113 degrees today. LOL
For the heat question, I think it's an individual thing, some people I know love the sun but I hate it and it makes me feel ill. However, I also believe that there are different types of heat. some countries experience humid heat which is really unpleasant whereas some countries have dry heat which is much more bearable. With regards to moving out at 18, I think this boils down to finances to be honest.. no matter how independent you want to be if you simply cannot afford to rent or purchase your own home and move out of your parent's home 18+ then you have to stay longer living with parents...maybe paying them a contribution to the household bills when you start to work until you can afford to move out into your own place. Being able to afford or even rent your own home in Britain is becoming increasingly difficult.
True about costs of living especially housing
It's Melanin. Melatonin is different, it has to do with sleep cycles. Melanin has to do with skin pigmentation
Not all houses are that big, though many often look similar on the inside these days. My home is around 1350 square feet (~135.4 m^2, one floor), but the home I grew up in was a split level (had 3 floors), and was easily 2000+ ft^2 (~185.8+ m^2). So the home I live in is considered a basic one level, usually suitable for individuals or couples, maybe 1-2 kids (would be crowded if there are kids). My house was also built in 1972 (51 years ago), so a number of homes in the US are really old depending on when/where the territory became developed. That can also affect the price (and how long you wind up paying for the home, but that gets into a detailed and crazy set of rules on it's own).
There are many places in the USA that have hot climates like India does. I live in the southwest and we have temperatures that get very high and range from 27 to 43 degrees Celsius for most of the year.
There's something about how while dark skin helps against the sun, white skin has some marginal benefits about locking heat inside the body for when you're in cold climates, which helps save energy. There's also sometimes a difference in fair vs curly hair and how that's to do with UV blockage vs insulation
Light skin is about vitamin absorption. Lighter skin allows you to synthesise vitamin D more effectively as UV rays are required for synthesis. Thiamin on the other hand is an essential nutrient destroyed by solar radiation. This results in a spectrum of skin colours depending on solar intensity. In all ethnic groups, women have slightly lighter skin as they require more vitamin D during pregnancy and lactation. Peopke with dark skin often have to take vit D supplementation in northern climates. As such, light skin certainly has an important function in the places to which it is an indigenous trait.
@@thekaren1111 - Those of African descent, depending on the precise area, have a condition called steatopygia. That is why some Africans, regardless of where they now reside, have the big "bootays". It's not because they are lazy or eat too much. They collect fat on the buttocks and thighs because their ancestors came from desert areas and it was a means to store fat for lean times just like a camel has humps to store energy and water. A person can leave that environment but for generations that characteristic can remain.
Believe me, 99.9999% of Indians don't even know what a sunscreen is. We absolutely never apply sunscreen while going to the beaches. I guess, because of darker skin, we don't require to
Small, but important correction: its' not melatonin that colors the skin. It's MELANIN. Melatonin is involved in the human sleep cycle.
I was just about to say that.
Thank you for the correction, I was just about to do It myself
I know. I feel foolish. I messed up the words because I was nervous. I should have watched the video before I sent it in.
the sun also gives you vitamin D so I thought perhaps she's way confused and meant that lol, but yeah it seems right that she intended to say melanin
I’ve noticed realtors don’t use the word master bedroom anymore to describe the biggest bedroom in the house with a bathroom attached. They’re now calling it the primary bedroom. I also learned but if you have an extra room with no closet they can’t call it bedroom so they call it a flex room. I guess that means it’s flexible to be whatever you want.
That’s interesting. I had heard of the new primary bedroom terminology but not about flex rooms, but it does make sense.
That wedding song at the end was fire 🔥
Melanin not melatonin.
I know. I was nervous making the video, and take melatonin to sleep, so I had a brain fart and kept misspeaking. I feel like an idiot and I’m so sorry. I know better and should have watched the video again before I sent it in.
Please more so Videos with Questions and Answers :)

Great video. I’d like to say this show is about kindness and learning and I think we should be nice and not call names. I may be mistaken but I think the lady from Chicago is an artist I follow. Same name and no eye make me think it’s her because she said she has no eye in another video. If she is the same she is very intelligent and very nice and I think I know why she misspoke. If she’s the same artist she lost an eye and has a brain condition. She makes art to show how it effects her vision because her brain makes her see false things to make up for her not having an eye. I read her biography and part of her condition sometimes makes her mess up similar words or say numbers instead of words. I am sorry if this isn’t the same lady or if it is and I should not be saying her brain condition here but she talks about it on her page so I think it’s ok. If it’s her she helps a lot of people. Either way we never know what’s happening with someone else so we shouldn’t be calling people idiots especially when we don’t know them. Miss Katie if you make the Hilda art I’m a big fan and I know you misspoke. I follow you and my dad has your same condition and now he draws too for relief. I think you’re in my CBS group too and if so you’re always very helpful and nice and I’m sorry anyone says you’re an idiot because I know you’re not.
I love that the lady from Chivago wants to share all her stuff with our boys here.
I love these men who ask the questions. I wish they were all my neighbors! (I live in Kentucky.)
Skin color is a bit of a difficult subject to discuss. It has to do with heredity and national origin and the amount of sunlight. Noone has control over their basic skin color so it should not be an issue. Skin color used to be a basis for discrimination, fortunately this has largely subsided in recent decades. Many European and American people strive to get a browner skin tone. Many Chinese and Japanese want a lighter skin tone and they use parasols a lot. It's just a personal and cultural preference.
It used to point to the wealth of a person. In hot climes most laborers worked outside...while the wealthy were able to avoid the sun...and this was a marker of wealth. Interestingly ..here in the West..having the leisure time and money to vacation especially in winter..means wealth. Those who remain pale in winter..are inside....working...lol
The melatonin answer was mid-framed - it’s not that those whose ancestors come from colder climes don’t need more melatonin, but that they adapted to have less in order to maximize absorption of sunlight to produce sufficient vitamin D.
It's also not melatonin it's melanin.
Why not both?

A master bedroom is commonly the largest bedroom in the house and is usually where the owners of the house sleep, they also commonly have a bathroom attached (sometimes referred to as a master bathroom).
They should be explained that a working week is typically 5 days, excluding Saturday and Sunday.
This is also a great example of the difference in lifestyle and culture when they automatically calculated the hours sing 7 days, it shows that they have no concept of resting days.
