Welcome to America. Moved here when I was 9 from East Africa and its very different. First and most importantly is you are now "Black". You are no longer just a person, but you are constantly reminded about your Ethnicity. In Africa you may have been Zulu, Xhosa or whatever tribal affiliation you belong to. In America, they do not know or care about that. You are Black. Secondly, you notice people pay way too much attention to the way you speak, rather than what you are speaking about. In some extreme cases, Americans will ask you to repeat yourself because they did not understand you, even though you are speaking English. Anyways, all the best. Stay focused. Don't get caught up in the stereotype. Remember African immigrants do very well in America and become highly successful, because of our mindset..
The American system steers black immigrants to be successful as a means to spite the local black population it has nothing to do with our mindsets hence why we’ve managed to destroy a whole continent and decide to runaway
@@lifeandtimesofsazi3192 You can have whatever opinion about this matter, but there are clearly certain behavioral issues that will continue to afflict our brothers in the African American Community if you could allow me to mention a few of them here: 1. Health - You have lost the concept of healthy eating. Our ancestors had a rich diet of electric foods, which you seem to give a fancy name of organic. The food sold in the black community is poison. It leads to obesity, diabetes and heart disease. How do you save any money when your loved ones are constantly in the hospital surfing from dietary health issues. 2. Over consumerism - If African American s were a country it would be in the G7 because this community has a GDP of over $1-2 trillion. In Georgia where I live the black economy is 25% -30% of Georgia’s GDP. Every major company in America knows this, however black people don’t see the power they hold in their hands and are constantly spending their dollars with people who don’t care about their well being. Going to the mall and buying up more than is needed. If you can reduce the over consumerism and invest that money within the black community there is no reason why Black America cannot be an economic power house in a decade or two. 3. Weaponization if the law: Too often do I see my African American friends in huge trouble because the law has been weaponized against you. If you have an argument with your spouse, calling 911 is as good as destroying your life,because the system will not solve your dispute it will criminalize you instead, destroying families and communities. This idea that I can raise my kids by my self is European Ignorance. You need the man in the home and you also need the community involved in the well being of our children. These are the mindsets I am talking about. Not some social program directed at immigrants. That is a myth. Every immigrant who comes to America signs a contract with the Government saying they will not be a public charge. For your Visa to be approved you need to have someone, a friend or relative fill out an affidavit of support saying that if you get into financial trouble they will Help you, not the government. So this is why you do not see immigrants at the welfare office. Again these are the mindsets I am talking about. Many times you see African Immigrants doing the worst jobs in America, because we face double discrimination, but collectively as a community you find that Mum who cleans toilets has $5000 or $6000 in her savings account, that factory worker has $10000 in savings. He is sending money to Africa to invest and help his family etc. Africans send $50 billion to $100 billion home to Africa from Abroad each year. That is from all the sacrifices we make here in America, Canada, Europe, Asia or Australia. That is the mindset I am talking about.
@@Dan13Speed I get that then why not imply these systems and morales here back home, you talking about how FBAs have poor diets yet we have low life expectancy’s here in Africa yet Africa has the most fertile untouched land globally And don’t say it’s the government being corrupt because all that governments reflects is the current society that we have at our disposal. If the government is fucked up it always boils down to the society in which we inhabit being fucked up as well. Americans have gone through so much bro, from slavery, Jim Crow laws mass incarceration, bro it’s a lot all these are recent, for instance a 50+ year old American black person alive today probably had a great great parent who lived through slavery. These people haven’t healed yet the last thing they need is us talking down on their lifestyles
Was always wishing to experience America but now hell naw it's better to just visit there for music business only! South Africa is a beautiful and lovely country I'm not going anyway.
I can't wait for this channel to grow.. Your aura is awesome.. I'm so glad YT recommended your channel... First time here... You just gained a new subbie😍🎉 Love from Cape Town but originally from the South coast in Durban 😊
Your vid just popped up on my RUclips sis😍new subbie. Thoroughly enjoyed this. Umuhle ❤️ and thank you for sharing this with us. I was sooo intrigued 😍
Thank you for this content. It’s interesting to hear the reviews from a fellow South African. Even though we’ve seen some of the stuff in the movies, it’s great to hear a firsthand experience from a black South African. P.S you’ve just gained yourself a new subbie 😍😍😍
Wanted to be the 100th subie😊❤ All the best with everything else that you'll experience that side. We're here for the stories. RUclips is great for sharing experiences.
I started watching because you're incredibly good looking, ended up watching the whole video because your vibe is even better. ❤ When you said "robots" when referring to the traffic lights - I was so tickled because there's just nothing more South African 😂
Ntando this was such a beautiful well articulated video and fun at the same time! It was like rewinding a tape lol of when I arrived here in the US. I wish you all the very best my dear!🧡💖..your Zimbabwean sis..new subbie
thanks for the time explaining the time, becoz i didn't understand why the New York market would open at 15:30 some months and 16:30 other month, most people didn't understand also
Hi. Just saying, your beauty is astounding ❤️! I also enjoyed your chilled, authentic personality (albeit on-screen), which immediately naturalises your engagement with your viewers. Best of wishes with your marriage, child(ren) and family as a whole. Thanks for the share lady ❤️
Another point is the fact that in SA we use the metric system & the US uses the imperial system (kilometers vs miles degrees celsius vs fahrenheit & liters vs gallons & centimeters vs inches).
Just stumbled across your channel. When you mentioned you can turn on red at the traffic light I knew automatically you were in MD. Then you mentioned Gaithersburg. Welcome to Montgomery County it's a bit boring but safe.🤗
Speaking of cultural references, when you started talking about the muffin and how big it is I couldn’t help but think of Michael Scott from the show The Office saying “that’s what she said” 😂🤣
@@ntandoikemba6769 haibo! umngane uyaphuthelwa! 😂😂. Here is the link: ruclips.net/video/ClzJkv3dpY8/видео.html. By the way, wena umuhle ngaphakathi nangaphandle 😅
Hi Ntando,Oh yes I agree with you when you say everything is huge 😂😂😂. Just the couch behind you is huuuuuuuge compared to mine here in SA ,I like it though.
You are a very pretty lady and I can tell you also have a good heart. It was interesting listening to your culture shock in America. I wish you and your family all the best in America. Keep shinning and stay blessed.💜🇿🇦🇺🇸
Thank you for the video. I used to get surprised seeing houses that side being extremely expensive compared to South Africa. A family member who stays that side earned $4k per month and $2k went straight to rent, and had she was in SA she would've paid less than $250 dollars for the same size house.
Excellent video!! Im African American and I made my big move from the states to South Africa last year and cant no other country in the world relate to us but South Africa with a few differences nothing here is a culture shock to me... I love to see my brothers and sistaz from SA experience America
The date thing is really a problem especially for us working for American companies in RSA. It’s really confusing and sometimes we end up confusing customers 😹😹
About the date - some places would say "the 12th of July" listing the day first and the month second. In America we would say "July 12th" listing the month first. It's basically the verbal order written down. Hope this helps!
DST is a weird one, the advancement of the clock is a crazy way of taking advantage of the daylight and all. There's quite a few countries that practice DST. Why are they just not choosing one standard time instead of complicating things. One country observing different time zones. Good vid
Thank you Q. I think it works in everyone’s favor so that everyone can take advantage of daylight as you mentioned earlier. Also I think it’s the same thing within the country because it’s huge. Different states are literally like different countries just combined. I’m just still amazed by the concept of ‘shifting time’ backwards and forwards.
Welcome to the DMV... Yho!! This winter DST is hitting different the older I get! Also, one thing about Arizona, is they do not follow DST rules so come tomorrow, they will be 3 hours behind us. That is another shocker on its own! I look forward to your settling down journey and enjoying your content.
Let's talk about the meds. We in the Carribbean and Africa are culturally shocked. Its too much, planting on the land is what we do. We are not depressed people, we are earth people. Haha, culture shock 101....
The American lifestyle is sedentary. Other countries get regular activity and excercise which can help prevent depression. People also lack regular interactions with family and friends. Caught in the rat race (work, family, work, sleep, repeat). Oh and everything varies from state to state. New Jersey does not allow you to pump your own gas. Americans experience culture shock too when visiting other states. As an American I have never seen a muffin that big from any bakery. Wow!
@@ntandoikemba6769 yeah…well we use to not anymore. Stopped about two years or so ago because it was not conducive for trade. But even Angola still does it I think
I have been to the USA. The many telephone networks for me wow. NY late sunset So many experiences Even the delicious ice creams My son went there and came back bigger. Like literally grown in two weeks
@@carree7942 Strange enough I’d never describe myself as someone who has good skin. So I’d say it’s a routine that has improved it. I still get breakouts here and there and I’ve tried to stay clear of dairy products since my baby had gastric discomfort since I breastfeed. I’d say it’s trying to mind what I eat mostly. Thank you
Nice to meet you! Of course things are much different in the USA than S Africa! Hopefully a major improvement in some noticable ways! I'm a man of small towns and live in central Michigan! The cost of living here is more relaxed than in large cities, but America has built an infrastructure that allows goods and services to expand easily to rural areas! And stress levels are much lower than in urban areas! Don't be afraid to explore the expanse and variety of America and its muriad of people and geograghy. I think that the experience will be helpful in your understanding!
3 months is not long enough to give a thorough experience for such a big country. But I understand how some of the things here are so different from home. As someone who lived in Joburg before, I wasn't that surprised with the changes because there are so many similarities between the two countries.
You normally notice things that shock you about the place in the first months. If you stay long they become normal and they become part of your culture. So filming culture shocks while they still shock you rather than when they have become normal. That's when you will articulate everything well.
Oh my gosh, I experienced the same thing with my luggage at the exact same airport😭😂 new subscriber here. I'm actually planning on relocating fully to the US in the next year or 2.
Daylight saving is here in the UK too. Clocks are about to change here on Sunday and I’ve been here 20mins still can’t get used it. Your reaction to the portion sizes have me laughing 😂
Lol! The pieces are definitely big, especially in Texas. What I find interesting though is that many African immigrants in SA think our chicken portions much bigger than what they are used to in their respective countries. SA is like the America of Africa.
@@qaqambamdliva3750 I don't live in Texas, I live in Indiana but I go there every once and a while. Texas is a nice place, especially in places like Austin.
@@ntandoikemba6769 wow I thought as much, because Ikemba is from the igbos. I am zambian(father) and my mother is Zimbabwean. Eversince I read "things fall apart" for my "A" level English literature along with Shakespeare, I became very interested in the igbos.do you know they even have the name Ngozi a name you find in Zambia, Zimbabwe.
@@kasikwagoma6740 Yes of course. Ngozi seems to be a very common name. I’m sure it has different meanings in all the countries that you’ve just mentioned. I l, however, did not read “Thing fall apart”
I understand the Airport issues with the cart, and if you pay and it does not work. Then they don't refund you, because its a mass deceptive scheme. I am actually leaving in 3 to 4 years to South Africa. Listen to " The Real South Africa"........I wish you both the best of luck. Its very,very expensive and I live in the South where you get more space and more land. All the best though
The cart system is knocker especially since it hits you while you just land. South Africa is beautiful. It’s diverse, mostly classy, it also has its quirks but it’s livable. All the best with your immigration
@@ntandoikemba6769 Thank you. I was called to the nations. Jamaica, Africa and limited US.....utilizing the US dollars to ascend. I think it will be easy for me to adjust especially from Carribbean roots. Love your skin, I see you channel growing and I am here to support my people. Lol 😆
Cape Town suburbs also don’t have Fences/Walls, similar to American Suburbs. In fact most towns in the Western Cape have that fenceless look in the suburbs . Gauteng is the problem when it comes to Giant walls and electrical fences. I was also shocked when I moved to Gauteng from the Western Cape… It looked scary with all the high walls and electric fences. I am used to it now…been here too long. 😅
That daylight saving time thing, apparently it used to be a war effort thing to preserve more work hours during wwii. I thought they'd passed a law that repealed it
Interesting you say you're so grateful to be here and not change it for anything 🤔.. well, many people here would love to have changed positions with you and live in SA
When you said every single thing is big in this country I thought of my 600 lb 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hahahahahaaa ayihlekisi hahahahaa

@@Blackflyer1It’s so interesting how different states operate so differently. I can’t wait to explore them. Thank you for the comment
It's also cold most of the year in half the country its not always possible to walk around or stay outside.
We use to have that in winter too, Namibia...so we had an hour behind
In Africa oh wow… that’s interesting
@@ntandoikemba6769 yeah…well we use to not anymore. Stopped about two years or so ago because it was not conducive for trade. But even Angola still does it I think
The billboards as well are huge dear.
I love baby, just complaining for attention. 😂🤣😂 too cute.
God's Blessings and Love to You & Your Family.
Thank you Rowen 😊
God bless you
I have been to the USA.
The many telephone networks for me wow.
NY late sunset
So many experiences
Even the delicious ice creams
My son went there and came back bigger.
Like literally grown in two weeks
I can believe that lol
1st of all your skin 😍😍😍
Thank you
@@ntandoikemba6769 do you have a skin routine or is it just naturally like that?
@@carree7942 Strange enough I’d never describe myself as someone who has good skin. So I’d say it’s a routine that has improved it. I still get breakouts here and there and I’ve tried to stay clear of dairy products since my baby had gastric discomfort since I breastfeed. I’d say it’s trying to mind what I eat mostly. Thank you
New subscriber 👍🏽
Welcome Ben
Nice to meet you! Of course things are much different in the USA than S Africa! Hopefully a major improvement in some noticable ways! I'm a man of small towns and live in central Michigan! The cost of living here is more relaxed than in large cities, but America has built an infrastructure that allows goods and services to expand easily to rural areas! And stress levels are much lower than in urban areas! Don't be afraid to explore the expanse and variety of America and its muriad of people and geograghy. I think that the experience will be helpful in your understanding!
3 months is not long enough to give a thorough experience for such a big country. But I understand how some of the things here are so different from home. As someone who lived in Joburg before, I wasn't that surprised with the changes because there are so many similarities between the two countries.
You normally notice things that shock you about the place in the first months. If you stay long they become normal and they become part of your culture. So filming culture shocks while they still shock you rather than when they have become normal. That's when you will articulate everything well.
Oh my gosh, I experienced the same thing with my luggage at the exact same airport😭😂 new subscriber here. I'm actually planning on relocating fully to the US in the next year or 2.
Hi lovely...😊😁 we hve tge same name thats why i said hi
I paid six dollars at new jersey airport, 9bucks in Atlanta, 4 bucks in Las Vegas. I moved from south Africa too
Hi guys, I'm South African too. Would love to know what made you guys want to relocate specifically and which state in the US are you relocating to?
Heey dear sounds like an amazing experience,.. Just few questions.. are the biggest shops we have here also there.. Like your Spar and Checkers?
No. They don’t have Spar or Checkers
Daylight saving is here in the UK too. Clocks are about to change here on Sunday and I’ve been here 20mins still can’t get used it. Your reaction to the portion sizes have me laughing 😂
I had no idea it exists in the UK as well.
Can you please make a video about your visit to the salon
I’ll vlog my next salon visit.
Yes in the U.S. they charge you for every thing you're lucky to get Air for free.
Lol 🤣 can't wait to get to USA 🤞🏼 & experience the big things 😂
Enjoy
Trevor was also complaining about chicken portions 😂🤣
Yep lol
Lol! The pieces are definitely big, especially in Texas. What I find interesting though is that many African immigrants in SA think our chicken portions much bigger than what they are used to in their respective countries. SA is like the America of Africa.
@@kaybeeMoAfrika Do you live in Texas? If you do.....how is Texas?
@@qaqambamdliva3750 I don't live in Texas, I live in Indiana but I go there every once and a while. Texas is a nice place, especially in places like Austin.
This is so interesting. New Subbie here, looking forward to more of your content. You're absolutely stunning.
Thank you Itumeleng. Welcome
You actually do look like a young doll, umuhle wena.
Aah 😊Thank you
Just came across your channel, your surname is also found among the igbo tribe.you are so beautiful.
Thank you Kasikwa. My husband is Igbo so that makes me Igbo.
@@ntandoikemba6769 wow I thought as much, because Ikemba is from the igbos. I am zambian(father) and my mother is Zimbabwean. Eversince I read "things fall apart" for my "A" level English literature along with Shakespeare, I became very interested in the igbos.do you know they even have the name Ngozi a name you find in Zambia, Zimbabwe.
@@kasikwagoma6740 Yes of course. Ngozi seems to be a very common name. I’m sure it has different meanings in all the countries that you’ve just mentioned. I l, however, did not read “Thing fall apart”
@@ntandoikemba6769 a very good igbo friend of mine told me Ngozi means blessings.
@@kasikwagoma6740 Things Fall Apart is a lovely book. Love it so much when people reference it.
I understand the Airport issues with the cart, and if you pay and it does not work. Then they don't refund you, because its a mass deceptive scheme. I am actually leaving in 3 to 4 years to South Africa. Listen to " The Real South Africa"........I wish you both the best of luck. Its very,very expensive and I live in the South where you get more space and more land. All the best though
The cart system is knocker especially since it hits you while you just land.
South Africa is beautiful. It’s diverse, mostly classy, it also has its quirks but it’s livable. All the best with your immigration
@@ntandoikemba6769 Thank you. I was called to the nations. Jamaica, Africa and limited US.....utilizing the US dollars to ascend. I think it will be easy for me to adjust especially from Carribbean roots. Love your skin, I see you channel growing and I am here to support my people. Lol 😆
Thank you Queen
Happend to us when we landed in Antigua with 10 big suitcases.imagine my husband had to find a ATM to pay the guys👀
It happened to me in 2001,busy pulling the cart only to find out that l need a dollar bill. It was still cheaper than now.
I’d pay a dollar in a heartbeat for it.
Which camera do you use. The quality is amazing
Lol my phone 7
Thank you
so beautiful
Thank you
We pay for those carts here in the UK as well.
Hello hi I'm New to this channel whr do i put my luggage coz I'm here to stay....
Hahaha your first culture shock was the same as mines sisi!!! How they make you pay for airport trollies?!? I def subscribed!!
Thank you. Welcome 🌻
Please do a get to know you video . Also do we ever get to meet the rest of the family?
It’s my next video
Cape Town suburbs also don’t have Fences/Walls, similar to American Suburbs. In fact most towns in the Western Cape have that fenceless look in the suburbs . Gauteng is the problem when it comes to Giant walls and electrical fences. I was also shocked when I moved to Gauteng from the Western Cape… It looked scary with all the high walls and electric fences. I am used to it now…been here too long. 😅
I’m happy to hear that there are places in SA that are fenceless
That's so interesting. I've been in Gauteng all my life, I also had no idea that there are places that have no fences in Mzansi. 😅
Which Cape Town🤣🤣🤣
@@m2ranojaholo79 which Cape Town for real? Lmaooo
🤣🤣🤣🤣 'OMG someone stole my luggage'🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Ntando sejwayele amasela antshontshayo 🤷
Hhay kancane 😭
That daylight saving time thing, apparently it used to be a war effort thing to preserve more work hours during wwii. I thought they'd passed a law that repealed it
Interesting you say you're so grateful to be here and not change it for anything 🤔..
well, many people here would love to have changed positions with you and live in SA
Great content. I would love to interview for my channel.
Hey Asad. Thank you. Let me go through your channel and will revert back to you later.
Your channel is great. Please send me your email and let’s discuss.
Brother Asad don't miss a beat
How much is fights from SA TO USA? Total amount
Realistically I’d say from a $1000 for a return flight which is about R15000
