Yay, you know Austria! 😄 I am living near Vienna in Lower Austria. Recently found your channel and I am so glad about it! LOL I didn't know that there is such a strange school in Vienna 😆
One of the best Sam4God videos ever!! Such varied and interesting experiences. I was dying listening to you talk about the Christian school - you need to make that video! I’m screaming!
More like a cult school. Actual Christian schools would not behave like this. I would like also to see a video on this. I believe it would be helpful to another family looking for a school to send their kids
I think it is funny when you said because it was only 5-6 hours to Disneyland you went quite a lot when you were little. I live in Belgium which is only 3 hours from Disneyland and I had never been to Disney as a child. 3 hours for an amusement park is for a lot of people here already too long.
You’re the only RUclipsr I can listen to talk for hours without getting bored!! Thank you for sharing this is it was really interesting. It’s also part of Asian culture to greet our teachers when they enter. Every country in Asia pretty much does that. In Singapore we take the A Level exams too and it is really intense. The exams are very hard and our life sounds somewhat similar to yours in Iran because our parents also focus a lot on grades and most of our high school life was spent on revision. I would love it if you did a video of your Disney collections 😄
Ahh thank you so much, Joel - means a lot! :) That's interesting, yeah I can imagine other Asian countries being similar in their respect and education culture.
When you spoke about your mum talking garman. Same thing happened for me growing up with my dad speaking Welsh to my grandad etc. But at times to wind me up he used to put my name into the sentence to make me feel that he was talking about me 😂😂
I grew up between Australia / Malaysia & the United States / my son grew up between Malaysia / Philippines / Australia & the United States - I was born in Australia & hold triple citizenship but reside permanently in the United States / but in between I’ve lived in a number of other countries as I’ve had a hard time settling and I’m 51 -
Thank you for sharing it was very interesting! If you are planning on doing P2 could you rate the places you lived in or maybe the good and the bad of every country xx
I loved this video! Really enjoyed learning more about you but also about cultures and schools in different countries and how things differ from the UK. Can't wait for a further video on the Christianity school adventures. One question I have always wondered about with people who's first language is not English is do you think in English? I don't know if what I'm trying to say is very clear but if your speaking say Iranian do you think about what you are gong to say in English then speak it in Iranian or do you think it in the language you are speaking?
Thanks so much Louise :) Ahh that's a GREAT but difficult question. I've been asked it before and I never know for sure haha! I THINK I mainly think in Iranian. But maybe it depends on the place and people I'm talking to, as well. If I'm with English speaking friends, or at a job interview, I mostly think in English. The majority of my "private" life though, like when I'm just chilling at home, I think in Iranian. My dreams are a mix between English and Iranian. It's very weird, sorry if the answer wasn't clear enough. You've made me want to pay a bit more attention to it now though, so thanks! x
I had this question too with a peer of mine that was raised in Palestine but his mom is Cuban so he learnt in Spanish most of the time. He didn't know how to answer my question. Lol
(skip the 1,2,3 country attitude) in general. Only because I live in Sweden do not mean my country is better then a country in Middle East. All countries have the same value and no country is above another.
How insane that u did so many flights between near"" countries in your childhood; like your parents could have easily go by train from Switzerland to Austria/Vienna🥲
My dad worked for a company that allowed him free flights, so it worked out way better for our circumstances :) Train fares can be very expensive between countries x
@@Sam4G0d I get that, I'm just so sad, because I've always thinking about the environmental aspect of traveling or trying to travel eco friendly and since I've been living in Austria and traveled nearly every place in Europe low budget because I'm a student of an not wealthy/ privileged family there has always been such great and easily accessible ways to travel through Europe

Great video Sam -
Nice to hear your experience growing up with different languages as I also grew up with different languages
I´m a 3rd culture kid too. I didnt know there was a term for it. Love the video Sam, as always!

Amazing life experiences! Thank you for sharing
Hi I truly loved this video you are probably one of the best you tubers I have ever seen

As a TCK as well I can relate so much to this video! Loved to hear your experiences, thank you! 😊

Fun video. I'd love to hear Part 2 from your time at University and on.
When you spoke about your mum talking garman. Same thing happened for me growing up with my dad speaking Welsh to my grandad etc. But at times to wind me up he used to put my name into the sentence to make me feel that he was talking about me 😂😂
Haha that must be even MORE annoying! :P
@@Sam4G0d it was indeed but great memories with him 😂 x
Thank you Sam. Such a fascinating insight to all the countries you've lived in & schools you attended. So interesting 😊 take care & stay safe x
It was great too hear about different school in different parts of the world and how soo different they all were thanks again x

It's always so interesting hearing you talk about life haha! I would love to see your long-awaited tsum tsum collection! love the video!!
Great video! Would love to see a second part where you describe how you found living in the UK after living in so many different countries!
Thank you! And a good idea :)

This is really interesting. Do you mind if I use this in my teaching about culture and identity?
Of course not, go ahead :)
Knowing how to address teachers/elders in another language is stressful! 😰

👍🙂
It seems to me like they may have been Mormon teachers rather than Christians. Just the way you are describing it
