I INFILTRATED NY's Jewish Community: IT SHOCKED Me!

- I am planning to visit Isreal very soon. I am fascinated with the Jewish culture and I want to learn a bit more. So, I decided to visit the Hasidic Jews of Brooklyn, New York. They are widely considered to be America’s most religious and closed-off community, even more than the Amish of Pennsylvania.
In this short video, I start my research about the traditions and customs. It is very hard to get anyone to talk on camera but I tried. I think this video will show you the challenges that I encountered.
In my climax scene, I finally met a gentleman who was kind enough to talk to me. He explained to me a couple of things and I knew it would be the best I will be able to do that day I will certainly be back and try to get more answers to more questions.
This story is really fascinating and I can't wait to return there. From the traditional clothing, music, and food to the strict gender roles and controversies surrounding the community, this is the beginning of the conversation on Hasidic life.
Hasidism, sometimes spelled Chassidism, and also known as Hasidic Judaism, is a Jewish religious group that arose as a spiritual revival movement in the territory of contemporary Western Ukraine during the 18th century, and spread rapidly throughout Eastern Europe.

This was a wild adventure in Brooklyn. This is the most closed knit community in NY. You can see the struggle I had filming there. I can't wait to go back and try to go deeper. If you enjoy the content, kindly subscribe and hit that 👍 button. Cheers!
Bro these people are the most mysterious people I have ever came across in the western world. I used to see them in an area called Stamford Hill in London UK way back in the early 90's. Also another area called Golden Green in London. They don't mix and interact with the rest of the society. Ivan the fact you could even get them to have a brief conversation with you is impressive.
Quite interesting Ivan. You have sent me to do some research. Keep it up but keep safe. BTW The timeframe of the vlog is encouraging.
Ivon send me your fb and your telephone ☎️ number please thank you and look after Marwa give him hospitality and Support amen 🙏🏼
Come to the Guyanese neighborhood in Queens 🇬🇾🇬🇾🇬🇾🇬🇾🇬🇾
@@Rockmoney What this guy says
The flip phones are used because it allows the avoidance of consequences related to social media addiction. Most smartphone users are hopelessly addicted and consequently suffer from depression, insomnia, anxiety, loneliness and isolation. Leaving many existing in a state where their attention and self determination is captured by mechanisms outside of their own will. Real human relationships are forged via experiences that occur in reality.
Very insightful! Thanks so much!
So true.
🤔🤔🤔
@@tonigathman ...true indeed.
Actually adding to that, the reasons for flip phone is for security reasons. Flip phones are harder to hack , especially operating in the analogy realm. And yes there are carriers who still do operate on that bandwidth.
The first guy said "You cant see woman" meaning they do not want to be placed at the risk of watching pornography. The detrimental effects of pornography, particularly making someone weak (physically,, spiritually, and mentally) is very apparent to them.
But yet they dominate the prn industry, performers, executives and prn company owners.
No smart phones because of the internet. Social media, pornography, mindless distractions, etc. I appreciate your interest in the community! One thing I recommend is to not directly film people without their permission, especially children. Filming your surroundings is great, just be mindful of privacy everywhere you go, not just with Hasidic community. There are some cultures around the world that believe being filmed or photographed harms your soul. I very much appreciate your interest and enthusiasm! Bless you!

@@PoorCodeineNo, that’s just being respectful
@@PoorCodeine schmuck.
This community has been tight knit as long as I can remember I am 60. I worked building a synagogue in Brooklyn I was a concrete finisher. I had gone onto a local market and bought a few things. I was surprised to food products with no additives I voiced that out loud and the woman smiled at my amazement. They were nice educated folks they don't bother anyone and prefer to keep to there community I respect there ways and traditions. They don't want the attention. I don't blame them
Wow good point! I’ll have to go back and visit more. Thanks for watching!
Ha ha, awesome, awesome. I have a youtube channel on the Hasidic community in Williamsburg, this is "my turf", and some people told me to watch this. I loved it. I think you did a great job pushing the envelope without being disrespectful. I also really like how you show the viewer how hard it is to get footage of this community. I'm afraid my viewers have no idea how extremely difficult it is!
Good job, keep it up!
Thanks so much for watching I really want to watch your videos now. Whats your channel name? Thanks a lot for watching !!!
Hey, don’t know if you missed what the first guy you interviewed said about why they don’t use smart phones. He said they don’t want them looking at women ie porn. There are strict rules to shield them from the modern world. That’s a very closed community and outsiders are not welcome. Kudos to you for going there to interview them. Thanks!, 👊🏾🇯🇲
Kudos indeed. Me personally, I would have NEVER gone. 🤷🏾♀️
WOW
They definitely sneak a peek OF
Exactly STRICT RULES ! That's why remember men never shake a womens hand no touches nothing that might lead one to have lustful thoughts. The same is perceived about the internet or just surfing the web.
Nice job...
Bro very informative , that's pretty strange but respect for the way they are conserving their culture
💯
You reminded of the days when I worked for a Jewish family out in New Jersey. Very closed knit supporting their own community. Their money stays within the community (only buy from their people). Thank you for sharing.
Hello Carol. I'm a Jew, a religious Jew, and frankly I do not know what you are talking about. Jews buy stuff everywhere. Walmart, Amazon, Best Buy, Shop Rite. Just about anywhere. Your comment is very weird, like we're hoarding money, and keeping it from other people. Very strange comment. For house repairs, I hire a black electrician, a Greek HVAC guy, a white non-Jewish plumber. And there are plenty of Jewish repair people I could hire instead, but I am familiar with these guys and they've never let me down, so why look elsewhere. I'm really scratching my head here, trying to figure out what you are talking about, saying we only buy from our own people. It's a strange thing, when it comes to money, people always accuse Jews of doing something weird. It's a nasty habit that many non-Jews like you Carol have.
The one thing I'll add is that certain foods, Jews can only buy from Jews, because chicken and meat for example have to be slaughtered correctly by a rabbi who knows the laws of kosher slaughtering. And it is difficult to buy modest clothes just anywhere, so a community like the Satmar of Williamsburg will have many Jewish owned clothing stores that specialize in modest clothing for women, or that carry specialized long coats and hats for the chassidic men. But, other than those items, Jews frequently buy things outside of the Jewish community.
You are sooooo correct about these Jaws and how they keep their business wealth within their own communities. My uncle use to tell me in the 1970s that back in his early days (around the 1940s) in Iraq, how the Jews use to walk a very long distance to Jewish bakeries, etc. to buy their food despite other bakeries near to them, so that the profit/wealth should not benefit other people, like Muslims for example!! Extremely stingy people and a closed-minded community! Look how these two were talking to the gentleman like he was trying to deceive or take an advantage from them lol!
@@touringthecitywalking9209 Jews can't eat non kosher. They need kosher bakeries, especially for dessert products, because Jews don't eat meat and milk together. So chocolate cake without milk etc. Many desserts that Jews eat have no dairy products in them. It has nothing to do with trying to keep money away from non Jews.
@@touringthecitywalking9209 that’s a crap, Hasidic Jews don’t have lots of money, 90% of those Jews not rich and don’t forget that the total Jews is only 2% of US population
These aren't Hebrew Jews. They are Babylonian Jews. Whole different thing. Pagan worship v Yahweh worship.
I'm Kenyan known you through Marwa but you've shown an exceptional resilience to cope with Marwas unrefined mannerism! You naturally have a likeable personality to make it big on RUclips!
Great content Ivain. I can see you rising to the quality of the BBC and National Geographic. You have such a personable style, and the ability to ask penetrating questions in such an unobstrusive manner. I wish you every success. Thank you for hosting our son Marwa. I know you all can help each other professionally in a big way.
Interestingly at the end he mentioned actually answered your question and gave one of the biggest difference between between Hasidic and other Jews which is over ownership of Israel, they follow the teaching that they mustn't take possession of Israel before the coming of the Mossiah. This is evident in the extreme with the Naturei Karta but is a widely held Hassidic belief, it is also a cause of friction in things in Israel like National Service etc.
You have a kind heart Ivan. Thanks for hosting our village boy Marwa. Following from Mombasa. Be blessed
Oh yep thks so much for Marwa bless you he will host you too one day soon and her precious mam will treat you like no other
OMG. What an amazing job. Your approach is very respectful and patient. I’ve lived and worked around or Jewish people in Miami Beach area for nearly 40yrs gotta be honest with you. For those you would consider Hasidic would never greet me or answer me when I greet one. True story. My experience every time I cross path with one he/she would put their heads down to avoid eye contact with me. At one time I thought it might’ve been because of skin color but I realize that it was anyone that was not one of them. So go figure
This is exactly why Jesus was born as a Jew. To open their eyes. But we killed him . 🥹🥹. Happy Easter in advance. 💒💒💒
It’s bec historically when a non jew went over to a jew in the street it was usually not for good purposes so it’s kind of a “scaring” if that is a good word to use.
Generally, the more religious Hasidism won’t talk as much but the less “Jewish” looking one is they probably will be more approachable.
@@captaindeedee8869 this is kinda strange in my humble opinion. Because I would’ve thought the closer one is to God the more kind one would be toward a fellow human. I can’t tell you how many times I open and hold doors at my job for some of these people and wouldn’t even acknowledge you. Wow very puzzling!!
@@heatnation3054 Generational trauma can be puzzling.
that's because jewish supremacy is the biggest problem in the world.
Be careful around schools as a stranger without an escort. We are trained to be cautious about strangers around schools. Children should not be filmed without Parent consent. Peace
Only if it was that easy , there still in public my friend so anyone can record
But white people go to Africa and film people with permission
@@njguy655 Feels like you're talking about rights. He's talking about morality.
@@sylvestermorgan2384 you watched the video ? Did he seem like he was trying to record anyone to cause harm ? No so that doesn’t even register. He went around all smiles and transparent, he wasn’t hiding his actions or being weird .
Editing is on point 👌 good job the passion for what you do
Ivan I lived in Brooklyn for a very long time and you're right about being a close knit community. The flip phone threw me off, never knew that. Great questions, maybe next time you'll get someone who's more open to answering.
Well said! Yeah, I hope to get more access more time.
I just saw ur channel today and I love it thanks for the good work . Love from Cameroon 🇨🇲
You did you best Ivain. Continued blessings to you 🙏🏾
Thank you, I will
Zimbabwean 🇿🇼 and watching from the 🇬🇧. I really enjoyed watching this video. This community in Williamsburg is similar to the largest Hassidic Jewish community we have here in Golders Green London. New subscriber here and perhaps one day I will go out and create content on the Golders Green Jewish community. From my time working at the heart of that very Jewish community as a registered nurse a few years back, they are a very close knit and religious community. They also trade amongst themselves too!
I feel as though they got it right..and you should create content one day
@Maimounah Faizon , will definitely do.
I also remember when I lived in Stamford Hill London! Their area! They were my neighbours and they would not talk to you and they very much loathed it when you spoke to their children even if you innocently admired the children the children were pulled away! My other Jewish friend are saying they also behave the same towards them so it is not a racial thing but they are trying to keep it clean from us sinners as it were! They are purist and for them there cannot be much compromise 😊
Amazing, learned lots. Thank you.
Good work, Ivan! Watching from Mozambique!
Thanks for watching!
Oh! Ivan, you're so humble, kind & caring. So cheerful and wish Marwa & Mayuguno join you one day.
Ivan love your videos please keep them coming on daily basis
Thanks for taking us on another adventure.I could tell it was difficult to secure these interviews great effort though. Waiting for the next one.
Thanks bro
The kind of content I subscribed.
Marwa sent me here.
You're the best Ivan.
Wow, i didnt know that those guys lived in big cities. I always thought that they lived in secluded areas. Amazing video bro! Cant wait to see the next one!
Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for watching !
Hey Ivan I love your content and I knew you from Marwa ..thanks for hosting him too. Much love from Kenya
You should have went to Crown Heights they are more friendly there & will gladly answer all your questions & even give you a tour.
back then on empire blvd I noticed that alot of the jewish community had started to move into the area one thing i commend them for is sticking together and keeping the wealth in their own community and stick together. You never hear them say oh I dont like this guy or im going to do that to him or mess him over nope they just work it through and still make good for the community. I would like for the day to see our own people like that but its seriously going to take time and focus to put those nonsense hatred aside. When I walked into their supermarkets nothing but the best food and it was more reasonably priced people looked at me strange to see me shop in their stores but i didnt care.
Black people tried it before a few times in America but they were murdered and bombed and burnt to the ground . That's why they were herded into ghettos where they wanted them. They also flooded their communities and turned them into lakes. You people need to know the real history of what happened and are still happening to the real Jews in America who are going through the curses of Deuteronomy 28. Wake up people!
Wow I like your approach!!! 😂 but be careful though especially going into certain neighborhoods. Its NYC, we can be friendly but we always keep our guard up!!! Yea I was told not having a smartphone is a way to stay away from being on the internet. I'm surprised some people came to you an answered your question while on camera. A majority of Hasidic Jews don't like to be filmed period and filming in their establishments is a no. Everyone friendly there. I get my meals at a Kosher restaurant there. Oh and 6 to 10 kids is nothing. I know one that have 16 siblings. They tend to marry real early. Borough Park another neighborhood in Brooklyn with a Hasidic Jews community. They're pretty chill there. I think if you went there, they will be happy to answer your question. LOVE YOUR CONTENT!!!! 👍👍👍
Finally,, bro we need more❤,, iv been waiting for this
Great content. Thanks Ivan! 🙂
My pleasure!
Inspiring Video Ivain! Say hello to Marwa and keep the videos coming
Very fascinating video Ivan.I really enjoyed.We appreciate your efforts to educate and entertain us.Keep thriving and good job bro
So nice of you
@@IvainTures This is extremely good Ivain. Continue to stuff like this to educate the masses, whether in the United States or abroad! When you travel abroad again, don't only look at the tourist sites, but explore the cultures as well. People will appreciate that, and it will broaden your audience.
Keep up the good work! Looking forward for your amazing content.
Thanks a ton!
I live in New York for close to 40 years and have never been to Williamsburg. Can you believe that? The area is developing fast and its very hard to find an apartment there too. There is another area in Brooklyn, called Crown Heights, they maybe more open to talk.
I’ll be there next time ! Thanks so much for the feedback
He is black so they see him as maby a racist against Jews, and maby he wants to shake them down for money like they do against whites.
crown heights will definitely love to talk to you! also try Flatbush
boro park might be slightly harder but easier than Williamsburg
Peter Santenello has some good videos on this subject. I learned a lot from them. Thanks for the content.
Yes Peter has amazing and interesting content too 👍😎.
@@globalismoblackman Agreed
Great to hear! Thanks so much!
At 4:39, you walk past the Shop that says TAG, that is a place that could have answered all of your phone question. For the very few who have smart phones for business, that office installs filters into smart phones.
Thanks for the heads up! Interesting
You have a kind heart.
Be blessed 🙌
This is great Ivan, much love from Uganda
Ivain! Keep accomplishing the best for your subscribers 🎉
Thank you! Will do!
Your such a good sport!!! I don't think I could handle all the stares and people not wanting to talk to me..your super brave and you did it with a big smile! I really loved this video!
Thank you so much!!
New subscriber here from Marwa supporters.I just wanna say you're seem a very good person and very patient to Marwa. I'm from Manila, Philippines.
Thanks so so much
Very interesting you did your best. I appreciate your effort. Have a blessed day. Your a very good host to Marwa.
I admire your tenacity my brother! 😄 I’m so glad you didn’t attempt to approach the playground or the youths; it’s obvious of their curiosity of you. I joined your channel today; is a follower of Marwa and Lauren Brown. Keep up the good work! 👍🏾
New subscriber...keep up the good work... I'm really enjoying it!
Ivan, my brother;
More power to you. My whole spine was freezing watching this.
God bless
Thanks so much for watching! 😂
That was definitely an adventure in me growing up in Brooklyn New York and seeing Jewish people throughout my time I just never paid any mind really honestly I had Chinese friends when I was little girl I had Jewish friends when I was a little girl everybody from the Caribbean‘s, but there community has always been pretty much like that. Great job.
Thanks so much! NY is so rich in cultures. I live it.
@@IvainTures you are very welcome and it definitely is rich with mini cultures. It’s a melting pot.
I love Brooklyn
Big Jewish community and historical influence in the Caribbean too
@@Galidi1969 What you need to know is that they owned the slave ships that brought your people to the Caribbean, they also owned slaves and slave plantations. The most important thing that you need to know is that, they stole your identity! The bible is written by Black people, about Black people, and for Black people! Deuteronomy 28, explain the curses that the children of Israel would go through if they disobeyed the laws that was given to them, and no other group of people on the earth experienced what was written in Deuteronomy 28 but Black people, who are the true children of Israel, the chosen people of the Most High.
Revelation 3:9..I will make those who are of the synagogue of Satan, who claim to be Jews though they are not, but are liars-I will make them come and fall down at your feet and acknowledge that I have loved you.
Watching from Bristol city great content
Unique content. Keep up the good work!
In love with the channel ❤ please drop vedios everyday if possible ❤
Great content bro m, watching from Toronto Canada 🇨🇦
I Appreciate it!
I enjoyed. Very good content.
That was amazing Ivan
Hi Ivan, I love this content about the Jewish this community. I worked among them many years ago when I lived on NYC. They are the most protected community. This is so much better to listen to than the foolishness Marwa yabb about on his vlog. Especially talking about getting women pregnant in columbia. TMI and quite distasteful. Keep good and clean contents and we will watch you. Love from Bethesda MD.
Thanks so much for your watching!
Lol ! If they google your channel it will be Guilt by association Promiscuous life styles by FRIENDS and Family will have you condemned to the outer rims of hell in this Community. Lol!!!
Thanks for that adventure @IvanTures . The people are surprised to see a camera n they seem not to be friendly.
Big up the most friendly person on earth @IvanTures
My man your channel is growing now you are under attack because of your collabo with marwa. congrats on your route to 10 thousand.
Your Subscribers are growing quickly , keep it up man
Good job Ivain! super cool 😎 video.
I will love to see more stuff like that . There is much more to see. U just have to try again. 👌🏼👍👍
Bro you content is amazing
I appreciate that!
great video, very useful, we got to know each others, no matter our differences, cultures, religions, origines etc...., thanks a lot Ivain
i've learned a lil bit more about jewish people, thank you
Well said!
They are camera shy, but you do a good job pressing through.
Hi Ivin, love your vedios and your laughter is contagious 😂😂😂
Thanks so much!
I don’t care what faith you are as long as it’s for the better of your family and the community on the same level, help everyone!🇬🇧
Try to please everyone, and you please no one.
Great information 👍🏽
Thanks for watching!
You are so amazing ❤
This was very interesting. Good content!
I think you can learn more by watching RUclips channels (such as Frieda Vizel, Shloime and Peter Santinello) than trying to get people on the street to explain things to you. Well done though for making the effort. I'd love to visit NYC again and go to several ethnic enclaves trying various foods. Cheers from Europe !
He's interviewing the people in the community, the whole point of this show. Anyone can watch someone else's videos.
@@sl4983 Peter Santinell has a great channel
Wow, great content, very interesting
Glad you enjoyed it
For sure I really enjoyed and loved the content, thumbs 👍 up dear bro

The netura karta are sick people...not connected to any normal chassdik communuty. Even Satmar. They are sick humans. We all know that!
Great content
Amazing effort to get interviews from the Hasidic Jews in Brooklyn NY. Shalom Ivain.
Shalom Bro
Sane here in the UK Ivan, keep up the great work ❤
Ah another Londoner here 👍what's up Sista 😊. Yeah you know what up these mysterious recluse people, we have them in Golders Green and Stamford Hill in London😅. Rarely do they have any interaction if at all with the rest of society in the UK. Ivan is impressive to even squeeze a little interview out of their New York cousins lol.
@GlobalismoBlackman I'm good thanks you. Yeah, same as the experience Ivan is having, I don't believe I've ever spoken to one of them before because they are very secluded.
Thanks! Will do!
@@andreaj1331 Neither have I , I used to live quite close by to Stamford Hill in London in the 90's I would see them on the bus with their children going to their own private elementary schools.
@GlobalismoBlackman yeah they have their own school and shops I believe, they chose to live that way.
Keep the videos coming Ivan. Am enjoying ❤
More to come!
A wonderful community and what a delight for them that this uh this promises to return.
Great video ivain..,🤗😄
Thank you 😁
HELLO 🙋🏾♀️
New subscriber here from L.A aka Lower Alabama 🙋🏾♀️.
Thanks for the footage of this neighborhood. Personally, I would NEVER venture into a neighborhood like this. Thanks for taking us with you.
🙋🏾♀️❗🎉
Thanks for subbing!
😂😂😂😂
looks like you'll need to go to a few times, build trust, learn basic welcomes goodbyes in their language etc. to build rapport etc.
Your content is unique differently different good job 👏🏼
WOW!!! Good job. That was tuff. They keep very much to themselves.
Just like to add that you would need to contact their Rabbi for permission to get interviews, because usually he is in charge of all of their activities.
That's controlling
@@victorhampton3452 Agreed.
Absolutely incorrect, as a chassidic jew I can say we have freedom to live as we wish, we take guidance from the rabbis who have ancient wisdom passed down to them for thousands of years, just as anyone would respect a knowledgeable wise person. We are free to live our lives and the majority of us are extremely happy in our lives with meaning and purpose, there are of course people who will be the exception and not feel happy with their lives.
This is totally not true.please don't spread lies. I am a Hasidic Jewish woman living in a Hasidic community. There is no such thing as needing permission from a Rabbi to give an interview. Where did you take that from?
But we are not asking permission from the rabbi as if it is his rules, we are trying our best to follow G-D’s rules from the Bible and there are many nuances that scholars can help guide us with since they have been studying the texts in depth.
Nice content bro. Please i noticed your Camera is a little dark
I use my flip up phone because you can't be tracked or followed by social media, this is how the government tracks your every move you make through your smartphone 😅 keep up the good work my brother
Thanks so much !
@@IvainTures Bro it's a shocker but then understandable why none of them are using these not so "smartphones". We are all on the Orwellian "surveillance grid" and they the Hasidic Jews are not lol 😂😆😅. Time to toss these so called "smartphones" into the river ? 😅hmmmm🤔🤔.
You have done your research, good work.
@talia3458 ok thank you
Hi ivain nice content thump Up!
Hey, thanks
hey great video! I live and grew up in Borough Park I'm hassidic Jewish but kind of a rebel it's a beautiful community I recommend you check it out next
Oh nice!! I’ll check out Borough Park for sure. Are you able to show me around?
Ivan very good video at least you got some to speak to you. They are taught to be leery and weary of strangers within some of the Hasidic sect community. Although they live in the US some of them do not speak English, they speak Yiddish. They have no TV in their homes and as you said they use of the Flip phones it is to limit internet access, some sects are very insular and “ do not mix with the outside world” although it surrounds them. You should have gone to the Crown Heights neighborhood in Brooklyn and would have been more fruitful in your quest to actually engage and get more relevant information.
Thanks for the feedback. This is the beginning of a very deep exploration. I will follow through your suggestions 100% next time I go film there. Thanks
I learnt that they don't use the internet, they are more accustomed to physical reading of materials ie. books. Maybe that's why they do well in what they do,most tend to be more wealthy
Thank you for that adventure. Wow! Never new how life is for them Jewish people. Cheers
Ivan u doing a great job keep trying u will meet someone to talk with you
We used to have a young radical one, dress the part come down in the basement in E. Flatbush. The basement was a hangout stop where we smoked, drank, played dominos and listen to reggae music all night.
I love there way of life they preserve there way of living and know something we don’t know before we know it is too late i support it millions that’s a good example if you want to build community
You are in the Satmar Hassidic area, one of the most insular and closed Hassidic communities. They are not even open to other Jews. If you visited the Lubavitcher Hassidim, the ones off Eastern Parkway in Brooklyn around Kingston Street, they would be far more friendly and receptive to you. They even have a visitors center.
Thanks for letting me know. I’ll do that next time
@@IvainTures And they are very receptive to non-Jewish people, just be aware that Jews do not proselytize (do missionary work) outside of their religion. But if you want to visit the visitors center, that is cool. Also, there are actually some black Lubavitcher Jews, so do not be surprised if you see some there. The Lubavitcher Hassidim are very nice people.
As a religous Jew, i will explain. The torah warns us to guard our eyes (what we look at) and be careful of things which may tempt the heart to stray. Smart phones have internet access and people can send you things which are immodest. Smart phones or computers can be used only if they are filtered. Bless you.
Thanks so much for explaining!
Just curious. Do you support Blackrock and how your people have enslaved us?
Amazing Thenk u bro
They do not have smart phones, for the same reason I did not have one.....smart phones are designed to use the technology to capture your conversations, your contacts, and to use the camera lens to see who you are and where you are.
Sadly, it is very understandable that they want to avoid all attention to their community. I went to a college in Maryland that was attended by some Orthodox Jews. They pretty much just interacted with each other but I got to know some of them a little They are really nice people , they are just highly disciplined and focused on being in their culture. I get it I myself , i avoid as much of contemporary American "culture" as I can
