    If you're new to my channel and videos, hi! I'm Evan Edinger, and I make weekly "comedy" videos every Sunday evening. As an American living in London I love noticing the funny differences between the cultures and one of my most popular video series is my British VS American one. I'm also known for making terrible puns so sorry in advance. Hope to see you around, and I'll see you next Sunday! :)
    If you want to know HOW I make my videos including gear, lighting, all the tiddly bits that connect it all together, (with cheaper alternatives and kit I used to use), I've listed each item, what it's great at, and why I use it on the gear section of my website here:

      I think people in general like to imagine there's more going on behind the scenes than the really is, that they have some kind of insider knowledge/intuition, and so they want to will it into existence, hoping it really happens so they can say that they knew all along. a similar thing happens when there's drama, acting like they have some insider knowledge. I'm ashamedly just as guilty of it. It's easy to forget we only experience 10 minutes out of the 1140 minutes of a daily vloggers life. or **0.007** of their day. in Evan's case one video is about 0.001 of his week... that's not a lot to know... in fact it may as well be nothing at all

      This is probably totally different from Evan's case, but I also quite often get 'crushes' on people or at least find them charming and get really giddy and happy when spending time together - totally feeling similarities to actual romantic crushes I've had in the past - but when thinking more closely I can't at all imagine us dating, nor feel any pleasure in fantasizing about such (rather the thought feels odd). Eventually I resigned to just tell myself that I tend to develop very deep platonic attachments. My best friend is one of those cases. I'd gladly move together and spend the rest of my life with them, but any romantic interactions? Nah.

    I remember this from like 10 to 15 years ago. One of my fellow staff members was inviting a rather young American to Europe to give a talk at a conference. And that person missing the flight because he thought he could pickup a passport the day before the flight.
    And everyone on the staff team was like... "WHAT YOU MEAN!? HE DOES NOT HAVE A PASSPORT!?" and "WHAT YOU MEAN!? HE THINKS YOU CAN PICK ONE UP WITHIN 24H?".
    That always stuck with me... down to giving specific warnings to people we invite that they need a passport and need to pick one up well in advance.
    But it always gave me the impression that it was pretty uncommon for "normal" Americans to travel abroad.

      I'd say, as an American, that most of us have not travelled abroad ourselves but most of us do know a couple of people who have travelled. So while it's not a thing everyone does, it's not this super strange thing to hear that someone is going out of the country.

      I've noticed this too, my partner recently got connected to a fellow American moving to NZ by a former co-worker, as she had a few questions she wanted to ask. She admitted to being quite surprised by how expensive and lengthy the process was to get her visa approved, and how she couldn't sort out most things (a bank account, tax ID etc.) until she was actually in the country. None of this is unique to NZ, but having never applied for a visa anywhere before, she had no idea 'it was so complicated'.

      I lived in the US in the early 90s. Most of our friends were well educated Americans who had travelled and so had passports. What surprised me was their attitude to the passports. They were told that it is a super important document and so many of them stored their passports in bank safety deposit boxes. We kept ours in a desk drawer, or occasionally I’d even have mine in my handbag. I’ve never even seen a safety deposit box let alone used one. I did also meet a large amount of people who had never been outside of the US and who had no idea how to even go about it. It was just some vague, nebulous concept that they’d never given any thought to. The fact that we had moved to the US with work, but weren’t planning on staying was also very strange to them…like why would anyone want to leave? Talking to some of these people, even ones who had been to college made me realise just how little some Americans understood about travel and the outside world. I’m not sure that much has changed in 30 years.

I'm allowed to live here and point out the many flaws of this island, why shouldnt I? Being quiet and accepting everything with a smile is unhelpful.

      As a native Brit, I greatly appreciate the opinions of those that have chosen to live here. It's not like you woke up one day and decided to be here, either you or your parents (or circumstances) have brought you here and you've gone through a whole world of change and probably soul searching before actively deciding yup, this is where I am going to be and I am going to go through the hoops to stay here. Different perspectives, different life experiences, different thoughts. Hell, by choosing to be here rather you've made a conscious decision to be part of this society rather than just being born here.
      Keep up with those opinions about the flaws and talking about them. That's way different than whining or complaining about everything around us (which maybe a common Brit past time), or than telling Brits that they are wrong. Opinions are good. Discussing them even better.

I have had them all said to me, and as I said I'm a Brit, and pointing out that you are British/English does not make it better, it can make it a lot worse.
      The thing is that people feel proud of where they are from, even if it's a shithole, it's their shithole. They may make fun of the place, slag it off, but anyone not from there, well that's a no no.

I had quite a boring job for a while when I was living in Australia for a year and I loved it! I felt like Albert Einstein in the Swiss patent office (just without the world-changing insights into physics or, well, anything). My imagination was so much more fertile. Now I have a very engaging job, and all my brain wants at the end of the day is sweet, mind-numbing television and RUclips. Not that you're mind-numbing.

Also FYI: most people in Portugal that have been born from 1940 through 2000 have learned in school : French, English and sometimes a third language, often German. NEVER Spanish! Finally, Portugal is one of the European countries with the highest English proficiency, so stick with Obrigado and “fala ingles?” And you will be golden!I could go on, but hopefully you will get the gist of it: DO NOT SPEAK SPANISH IN PORTUGAL.

What might piss some potuguese people off is speaking to them in spanish off the bat, assuming that they'll understand you - which they will, because the languages are so similar (and there's a lot of contact), but it'll make them feel like you're treating Portugal as a part of Spain and THAT will definitely not sit right with them (as a result of the whole history of Portugal).
      And as others have stated, there's plenty of people in this country that do not at all understand english, so any spanish is welcome - being able to communicate is the whole point of a conversation after all.

      Correct, generally being pedantic and correcting people on inconsequential things like types of trees in casual conversation will most likely annoy the person regardless of if you are correct or not. Save it for things that actually need correcting.

    • @IceMetalPunk
      @IceMetalPunk Год назад +6

      There's this weird and delicate balance between "I just think everyone is better off if we all learn as much as possible, myself included" and "but other people don't want to learn, they just want to say what they believe and have people nod and smile". I don't yet know how to navigate that, because even if I just "let it go", it eats me up inside to act like I agree with something which I know to be patently false.

    • @ThatWouldBeCareless
      @ThatWouldBeCareless Год назад +1

      ​@@IceMetalPunk I used to have this problem too, and I have mostly overcome it. My one tip is to be confident and secure that you're a smart person with nothing to prove.
      The reason it used to eat me up was because it looked like I had agreed with a wrong thing and what if other people knew or found out it was wrong and then they'd think I didn't know and etc...
      But it doesn't matter. I'm smart. I know stuff. I think most people who meet me won't go away with the impression that I'm not smart, and if someone does, it doesn't matter what they think.
      But idk godspeed, it's so hard to unlearn 😂

    Agree on the study abroad thing (this was how I met my Californian fiancee 7 years ago when he studied abroad in New Zealand!). We have been living in NZ for almost three years now, but it was only once we bought a house a couple of months back that a lot of our U.S. friends went "Oh, so you're definitely staying in New Zealand?" In my experience, most Americans assume that you are going to, come back to the U.S. to live permanently at some point. But that could be shaped by my fiancee coming from a more rural/conservative area where people tend not to go very far afield. I have also noticed this with people living in more cosmopolitan cities like LA, though.

    no matter what in the end you're gunna end up 6 feet under. Your day can be productive so long as you've enjoyed what you've done for the day, regardless of what you do. I often still feel productive when I play video games because of the enjoyment I get from them. Not much different from reading a book imo except you interact with it which also (depending on the game) can help improve other mental capacities such as problem solving, creativity, memory, and reflexes plus a few more i probably haven't mentioned.

    Now you can "tolerate" Beans on Toast, you need to add an egg. Fried egg on Beans on Toast is divine! There's something about the fatty yolk and the tomatoey sauce that is just MWAH! When my husband was a student many years ago, apparently he used to break the egg into the beans whilst they were heating and got a whole different texture to the beans! That's students for you!

If things begin to repair and improve with my mother and I, I may consider learning Spanish for if I ever go over to visit her but for now I am gonna stay petty.

I think being critical is allways a good thing and people who are trying to invalidate your critisisms just means their brains arent wrinkly enough to form an opinion of their own and probably want essentially to just follow along with the crowd (not that thats allways a bad thing)
