When l was living in LA. back in the 90ths what struck me the most NO PEOPLE in the streets, drive everywhere, no morning or evening walks, nobody cooks, and yes,activities are different according to ones age, back in Barcelona( now l live in Canary Islands and love it)first thing l did is get rid of the car and WALK , oh my!! did l enjoy a simple walk outside, such little thing, so much pleasure, and see people walking everwhere l go, didn't know that was going to be such wonderful thing🎉
Soy Español y vivo en Valencia y me pare un momento a escuchar uno de tus vídeos me pareciste una persona inteligente que sabe lo que dice y que sabe como somos los españoles. Si todos los de EEUU tienen la misma manera de pensar que tu serán bienvenidos en España. Bienvenidos a tu nueva vida aquí. Un abrazo
Well, as spaniard, i think i need to add some things to the statements/assumptions spoken in the video. By the landscape behind the man, it seems that he lives in a warm coast area, and there normally life is more relaxed than other places. Its like comparing California with New England. Colder weather and different light/landscape can make the people's character quite different. If you live in Madrid, for example, people use to have a way more bustling life. Its quite normal that you work from 9:00 am to 19:00 or 20:00 pm (and its also normal that they dont pay extra hours). Thats the reason why the markets are open till late, because people leave work almost at night. In some places in Spain life can be very grey with long work hours but its true that most of the people always find some time after work to go to some place and have fun with friends. Its also very true that Spain is very diverse in culture, even in languages, because in the middle age these regions used to be separated kingdoms with different origins and etnicity. So its normal to see bagpipes in the northwest, while in the south you have flamenco and bull fights. Some of these traditions were also exported to America during the middle age, and you will see similar architecture in the hundred of cities, cathedrals, old roads, hospitals and universities built in the new world. There it was incredible mixture of cultures resulting in a new culture and gastronomy. For example we have the Tequila, a drink created from the fusion of the american plant called Agave and the destilation tecnique brought by the spanish and inherited from arabs living in the peninsula for hundred years. Hispanic world cultural heritage is very extensive, in such a way it goes from Spain to America and the Philippines.
Hablas bien inglés, respecto a las afirmaciones que realizas , unas puntualizaciones, Colón llegó a América en 1492 , pleno renacimiento europeo y la llamada Edad Moderna, nada de Edad , respecto a qué , el estilo de vida es " gris " en otras regiones dónde llueve o el clima es más frío, estás muy equivocado. En el noroeste , salimos igual aunque esté cayendo agua a cántaros o haga frío, a Galicia le llaman. " El pais de las mil fiestas " por algo y eso pasa a lo largo de todo el año . En cuanto a los horarios de trabajo, mejor no generalizar , hay personas que trabajan a turnos de mañana,tarde o noche y muchas de ellas a las dos de la tarde salen del trabajo o cómo mí hermano residente en Madrid ( ya prejubilado ) que prefería trabajar en turno de noche de 10 a seis . Por supuesto habrá otros que hagan esas jornadas ( ilegales) sí el empresario no paga esas horas extras , se llama explotación laboral y es ilegal yo diría que hasta delito. Un saludo
@@beanovofilgueira1584 Boas rapaz, eu tamén son galego, de boa cepa, meus abós eran de Fornelas. É un honor saudar a un compatriota.

Agora xa teño outro traballo despois de haber viaxado por dous continentes e estou algo alonxado de cómo son os contratos agora, pero xa che digo que antes a xente, por exemplo na construcción ou hostelería, traballaban dez ou catorce horas ó día.

I like the rithm you talk. I use to watch many videos in english, trying to learn and improve, and your rithm is perfect. I can understand you very well, practically with no english subtitles. So, you have a new subscriptor. And, by the way, happy you enjoy our country, you're very welcomed here ;)
The first minute or two is hilarious....as if you were reporting back to the CIA! We have noisy parakeets in Cartagena, too! They react to human presence.......doh!
Are you ignorant? They can. Without any difficulty. You just need to apply for the correct visa and show that you can support yourself. It's not difficult.
Dude, between the chattering birds and the listless delivery, I stopped the vid at 4 minutes. Very distracting! I love Spain (been living here 40 years) and I've seen more enthusiasm from the tomatoes they use for gazpacho here.
Yes, it is. Politics are complicated here in Spain. As of now it does not bother me that it is a socialist country. It is a very welcoming country and people are amazing.
@@AmericaToSpain There is a socialist government with a wafer-thin majority (that’s called ‘democracy’). Spain is not a socialist country; no country is. It’s also much more pleasant and safer than living in the ‘Land of the Free’.

This is a short list of great things Spain has to offer.
Gracias por tus palabras a mi pais!! Se agradecen mucho, ojala todos los extranjeros que vienen a España fueran tan educados como tu! Gran video!
Muchas gracias por tus comentarios.

Ah y los árabes, estuvieron en lo que hoy es España, setecientos años , en 1492 se conquistó el reino nazarí de Granada.

Vaya mareo con los pajaritos 🦜🦜🦜🦜🦜
Si que mal, tendré que rehacer el video.
Gracias,por tu visión😊
Gracias por tu comentario!
Nice comments and i"m absolutly agree with you. Regards from Barcelona.
Thanks for watching!

Thank you for your nice comment!
Great video, I actually enjoyed the sound of the birds.
jajaja, gracias. Your the only one.
All points are valid. The concept of integrated families is just as you describe.
Thank you for your comment.
Thank you for sharing. I appreciate your calm and gentle delivery, and great information.
Totally agree with you!
Gracias.
Gracias❤
A ti por ver el video y aguantar los pájaros.
Greetings from Tenerife ❤
Argentine cotorras (birds) love Spain too, but they are noisy 😂❤
Si de acuerdo. No volverá a pasar.
For the sound of the birds I suppose you are around Malaga.
You nailed it.
😂😂Los dichosos pajaritos
I hit the thumbs up button but it stayed at 0.
Tienes que dar de comer a esos pájaros,casi no te pude oir😂😂😂😂
Si, estaban molestos que los estaba invadiendo 😂
Next video without birds, please. LOL.
🤣🤣
In Spain birds don't sing, they argue 😂
@@dormador 🤣😂
😂😂😂😂
They are ploting against us, and this will be the last time because this time...they will not fail. Hitchcock warned us and we didn't listen.
I have to laugh because of those sabotaging birds 😆
yes, terrible, I have to reshoot it. 😀
exMichigan in Spain since 2000.
Was there as well in the USAF 1980 - 1982. Knew then this was my life. Took a while but did 🍷🇪🇸🇪🇺🍷👍
@@Michaelcj-m2d How long did it take you to become fluent in Spanish once you moved there?
Que playa más espectacular!!! Eso es España? Y donde?
Eso es Málaga con las molestas cotorras argentinas que están por todas las palmeras de la costa y han hecho que apenas se vean gorriones
Sí Beatriz es cerca de Málaga.
si que cotorras..... se sentían amenazadas por mi.
Esos pájaros 😂😂😂😂😂
si..... se sentían invadidos por mi..... lo siento.
The first minute or two is hilarious....as if you were reporting back to the CIA! We have noisy parakeets in Cartagena, too! They react to human presence.......doh!
hahaha, you made me laugh. Reporting to the CIA. Funny!!!!
Subtítulos en español porfa
Aún así gracias x hablar tan despacito !!
Si creo que vi otro comentario tuyo, lo tomaré en cuenta. Gracias.
Those birds are invasive species, monk parakeet
They did not like me!
Subtítulos en español por favor , aqui en España muchos no hablamos el ingles
Mejor aprenderlo, no? Es el idioma del mundo, y sobre todo del mundo comercial. Tendrás oportunidades de trabajo, muchas mejores si lo hablas.
I am Spanish, but if I weren't watching your video I imagine a country with some very annoying birds...
Gracias Oscar, si lo lamento..... tendré que hacer otro video.
@@AmericaToSpain
No me molesto para nada los pájaros, más bien me hizo gracia...
Those birds were incredibly irritating
I know. I'm sorry, I will avoid them like Covid next time. 😎
What's life without familiy and friends??
Work for living, and don't live for working.
I do have my family with me and have made some friends. We can adapt. Thank you for your comment.
Walker Ronald Taylor Laura Allen Sharon
Thank you for your comment. Not sure if understand it. Where you tagging someone?
Only five? You need more than five things to move to another country
Haha, I love many more things, I will make a second part (without the stupid birds making noise).
It's a shame the British Europeans can't live in Spain after Brexit.
It's not a shame, it's a blessing.
@@susanaescriba977 To be serious, they can, under certain conditions.
@@Caambrinus I know but let them cry for a while.

@@markpalmer8083 I’ve been there, pal, It’s a bit tougher than that.
It was really dangerous to speak beeing threatened by so many agressive voltures. 😮
jaja, yes I'm surprised I'm alive!!!!! Those are some loud birds!!!! Sorry.
Next time do not record your video under a palm tree full of noisy cotorras, please!. I’d appreciate thank you
I know it sucks right? These birds were going crazy. I guess they felt invaded by me.😂
Dude, between the chattering birds and the listless delivery, I stopped the vid at 4 minutes. Very distracting! I love Spain (been living here 40 years) and I've seen more enthusiasm from the tomatoes they use for gazpacho here.
Thank you for your comment. Yes I will avoid being next to birds next time. 👍
It's socialist 😖
And you’re a fool. Socialism = progress. Look to your own benighted country….
Yes, it is. Politics are complicated here in Spain. As of now it does not bother me that it is a socialist country. It is a very welcoming country and people are amazing.
@@AmericaToSpain There is a socialist government with a wafer-thin majority (that’s called ‘democracy’). Spain is not a socialist country; no country is. It’s also much more pleasant and safer than living in the ‘Land of the Free’.
Socialist? You mean the party that won the latest election is a social democracy party. Not the same thing as socialist the way you mean in the US.
