I was thinking Jay Foreman as well (learned of him via Evan). In particular his unfinished London series feels alligned with the subject. Maybe they could use a video call? I hope so
"How could you do this to America, it's the greatest country in the world?!" has to be the most stereotypically American reaction to applying for citizenship of another country... I get that it's mostly the older generations in the US that have that kind of "we are the best fuck the rest" attitude, but damn did it make me let out an audible sigh lmao
I eye rolled and sighed. People need to travel and just generally seeking information from a variety of sources, local, national and international. Ignorance generally doesn't get you anywhere.
Americans have no need to travel abroad, they have everything they could possibly need in the US and can visit every climate of the world within their borders..Why bother with all the crap happening in the rest of the world?
Okay not the reaction I expected from the parents... Id understand "how could you do this to me, are you never coming back" but " how can you do this to America" seems kinda odd
@@haashirkabeer2671 well even if that's true, she was also brought up with family values. It's not a case of it being a cooky American nationalist thing , it's weird even for a cooky American nationalist
I recently became British and it was the greatest choice after living in this great country for almost 10 years! I was meant to move to the US 2 years ago but glad I didn’t! I am grateful for the NHS and how this country value one another in this time of crisis.
"I don't know how many people I know that are that educated in town planning and houses" I imagine Jay Foreman would spill some knowledge as he often does.
I appreciate all the decor in the background. The lighting is spread out and varied in size and color. The plants are beautiful and they reminded me to water mine. I tend not to notice these things and now that I have , I am inspired to actually redecorate. I'll be using what I will always think of as 'Dodie lights'.
Tbh, I got the exact same reaction for choosing to move to the UK. My parents and other family were extremely "Why do you choose to abandon America? Life is better here?" and my friends "Why don't you just stay? Why UK?". A lot of people kept asking why I chose somewhere else, and the best I could day is that I wasn't happy or wanted to live in the suburbs. I had to convince everyonr about everything from healthcare, to flats, to living in the city. I'm one of those folks who had chosen to go from the suburbs to the big city, unlike 99% of my friends and family. To those who are facing the same issue, the thing I find the most useful is information and exposure. Everything is not what they expected.
I remember when I became a Kenyan citizen, when first travelling to UK, I phoned my mother asking her to write me a letter of invitation. She asked why and I explained my change of status. She replied "what, you're a foreigner?". When I arrived, she greeted me with " I was expecting my son, who is this middle aged man!"
Hello Evan! Just wanted say I appreciate all your videos with moving from the US to the UK! I'm in the process of trying to make a permeant move here myself and you're videos have given me loads of solid advice and hope that I can possibly make it happen! Thanks! x
For a video on town planning, would you consider asking Jay Foreman to join you again (post quarantine)? I'm pretty sure he has a lot of opinions and knowledge on that matter.
In the past few months there's definitely been a noticeable quality upgrade, if you will, on your channel and your videos are definitely the highest quality visually/technically out of the RUclipsrs I regularly watch
I, a fellow Yank, also moved abroad 🇩🇪🇬🇧 and our moms sound spookily similar with regard to good old 'merica. 🇺🇸 I am still in touch with my parents and only my very best friend from high school, but otherwise I haven't been able to genuinely keep in touch with my old friends in Germany or America. Viel Erfolg bei der Staatsbürgerschaft beantragung. xo
Love your channel. Have incorporated so many of your suggestions to my life - learning German, started meditating. Keep up the good work. I look forward to your Sunday uploads.
@@haashirkabeer2671 I was studying abroad and my home uni didn't want to be liable for me if I got sick and died so they made me come home or they wouldn't count any of my work and I would lose my whole semester's credits and subsequently all my funding.
I find so much comfort in your consistency with uploading. If i'm having a bad or anxious day, or even week, I always know that there will be a new Evan video on Sunday that will distract me and make me laugh. Thank you for that!
I've lived in the UK now for almost 12 years. I know exactly what you mean about once you're outside the US...so many of my views changed and I feel more aware of how America is viewed by those outside America. This is one reason why there's a strain with my US family. They take it as a slight when the reality is they know no different.
Suddenly, documentary-quality avocado update! What fabulous cinematography of such beautiful bois. My avo boi I planted after that video is doing amazingly, and I've planted two more to give to friends when we get out! Waiting for them to germinate makes our isolation time feel productive!
You are a great role model for inspiring others to actually 'do' something with all this free time (not including our heroic workers keeping the country together of course)...and thank you for helping those of us who live alone to feel less so..stay safe Evan,
"hello and welcome back to *whispers* thanks for this" lol it was so interesting to learn about your friends' and family's reactions! also i travel with my mum quite a bit! hope you're doing well in isolation evan!
It's great to see you so happy and healthy, Evan! :) And I really get the whole thinking that the trip situation is your fault - I'm also a planner type of person in my friend group and when we have gone on trips before and something doesn't pan out the way it was planned, I also tend to blame myself. In recent years I've started to ask that everybody coming on the trip also plans some activity for the trip or picks out at least one place they want to visit so that I'm not left with planning everything and we all share responsibility. That has helped me a lot with trip-related anxiety :)
Thank you for answering my question. Interesting to hear your response, I can relate to the replying, it's such a struggle to think about what to say next.
Hey Evan! Netflix has TONS of spanish language shows and movies. It’s so awesome that you’re branching out in a new language. El tiempo entre Costuras(my fav), The Invisible Guest, El Barco, Vivir sin Permiso, Smoke and Mirrors, Mar de Plástico, Monarca, Velvet, Pan’s Labyrinth, Spanish Affair 1 & 2, Off Course, & Instructions not Included. That’s my list, and you can always switch the audio to Spanish on any show if it’s available. Shrek in Spanish is life changing btw.
Hey Evan! I had a similar problem with speaking French when I was learning, I new all the words but when I had to speak it just didnt function. But I started just saying everything in French when I was telling myself to do stuff, like okay now I need to add garlic and then learning the words I didnt know. It made my speaking sooo much faster and better. Hope it helps :)
Aww that sucks about Bali, I feel for you. I went this time last year on my honeymoon and it was amazing, I really hope you can reorganise and go when this is all over!
I think it's awesome that you are becoming a U.K. citizen. I would love to become a citizen of Ireland, have thought about it a lot. So,congratulations to you
I didn’t know you were learning Spanish. I took Spanish for 6 years in highschool (it’s 4-6 years in my country, depending on the level you take) but now I’ve graduated and have to learn it for myself. I also really struggle to speak, especially to my family and people I know, it really helps me to speak to strangers since If you fail miserably you’ll never have to see them again.
Thank you for the video. You would be exhausting to do isolation with, but very entertaining. I think the advantages of house sharing with you would outweigh the disadvantages! Have a lovely Monday!
For the going away with friends not parents, I feel that in the UK going on family holidays abroad is a very big thing and something which my family in particular does multiple times a year. I'm now 16 and (other than with school) have never been abroad with friends only with family. The number is frankly too high to count but I would guess at around 32 times with my parents!
I'm pretty sure if anyone said to someone from Northen Ireland " you're not a country really though" that person would shortly be looking for their own teeth. Great video Evan and thank you for adding humour to a world that needs to laugh at the moment.
UK vs US desserts. I find the food videos fascinating, since they not only teach me some differences in food names, but they explain why each side calls certain foods a specific name.
Town planning in the UK is interesting, and really varied! Perhaps it might be worth focusing on London? Which is complicated enough considering the long history of the city and how that's impacting the modern day layout of the city! (also try checking out the museum of London website cos theyve got a lot of useful information that's quarantine accessible)
1:18 that is so American! I have watched a video where an American described that being American is more political and less ethnical if that's a good word to use, so if you want to be an American - you're an American (probably don't even have to be a citizen at that point) and everyone will consider you an American. Whereas in any other country, like here in the UK even after Evan becomes British, people will still think of him as an American first (even if decides to give up his American citizenship). Unless he starts perfecting that sexy British accent of course. 😉
I think it’s like that with all English speaking countries. Brits that move to the US are always considered Brits first. Also the US is def not the only country that has such views. Canada NZ and Australia are exactly the same.
Hey Evan, Relatively new sub here, really enjoying your content so far! Could you do a video about your grad school experience as an international student in the UK? I'm thinking of doing something similar, but I'm really nervous about the whole application process and adjusting to living abroad while also trying to do well in school
You should really do a video when this is over from someone living in Northern Ireland! There’s a whole lot of different opinions (strong ones) and a lot of interesting history including recent history with the troubles. Derry’s also a really interesting city to talk about or even talk to someone from here we’re just on the border of Ireland!
Regarding moving abroad and friends, I agree it just happens. I moved to Canada from the UK at 23 and it's now 10 years later, the people I hung out with at 22 are just different people and so am I. I still speak to many of my first friends here though, they're still close friends.
It's great to see you're doing well Evan! I'm catching up on your stuff...couldn't sleep. Guess you'll read this when you get up in a few hours 🙂 Q+As are hard for me. I don't want to pry, or ask the same as someone else. But I enjoy hearing your responses! The birds woke up 24 minutes ago. And the geese have just honked good morning. Have a great day today!
Please do the town planning thing with Tom Scott or Jay Foreman via video conference. They definitely will have a lot of insight to share on the topic and that would be really cool!
It's silly, but as a Spanish speaker I'm super happy you are learning Spanish. Please come to Argentina when you want to spend a month like you did in Germany. We speak Spanish in a manner that not many Spanish speaking countries understand.
an easy past tense for spanish is the conditional you keep the -ar -er -ir ending there is only one type of suffix to add to all 3 types if its irregular in the present, is irregular in the conditional
I like how fast Evan talks. To be fair I don't normally notice it until I read the comments. And I like how natural he is. I've seen some videos where people sometimes slow down a bit too much. The biggest example though is from my life when I just started studying at the university and they were doing a welcome presentation to the students, and at some point a lady started talking who I think works as the international students adviser or representative or something like that (we had a lot of international students, including me as well). And she was the only person who was speaking so slow (probably trying to help the international students understand better) but it was way too slow that I could just no longer follow her anymore. Imagine someone taking 5 seconds (I'm exaggerating of course) to pronounce a single word, by the time she finished you're already gone in your mind thinking of other things. 😄
Your description of how meditation affects you outside of whilst your meditating is super interesting! I’m going to give it a go and be more open minded. P.s last year I tried to go avocado plants by following your video and failed miserably 😂
RE: Town planning: find a person who works in town planning. There's the Royal Town Planning Institute. Pretty sure they've gotta have someone good at public chat. :)
Ah, so it wasn't my imagination when I thought it looked like your mom wanted to cry half the time during one of your videos. lol I deal with similar with my mom. We need to find our own place in the world. I don't know about you and your mom, but me and mine wouldn't see much more of each other even if we lived closer. So...😄 We live on opposite ends of the U.S.
UK planning is often requires a delibration. Cambridge City council discussed planning for a shopping centre in 1921 and it eventually opened in 2007. A short time when the city dates back 800 years when the university was founded. .
I'd like to see you do a town-planning video, but I wouldn't say that many towns in Britain have been "planned" per se. Many towns, especially in industrialised areas, were thrown together quickly, without much rhyme or reason other than providing accommodation for the workers in the area. Often they were even paid for in part by the companies running the industry. They were often built for purpose, and the bare minimum at that, without much thought given to making the area look nice. The UK also has the disadvantage of having a fairly long history of established permanent settlements through different periods, using different materials. The United States, having been inhabited by notoriously nomadic peoples, was essentially like approaching a blank canvas. Planners & architects had the luxury of being as creative and/or pragmatic as they wanted. The US also has the geographical advantage of being far removed from the battlefronts of the Second World War (the tragedy at Pearl Harbour aside), and as such didn't suffer the heavy bombing runs that destroyed or damaged so much of the architecture in most British cities. That's got a lot to do with why they're such a strange, almost chimeric beast of old and new buildings.
The first British Folks who come to mind that might be interested in Town Planning:
-Tom Scott
-Jay Foreman
I was thinking Jay Foreman as well (learned of him via Evan). In particular his unfinished London series feels alligned with the subject. Maybe they could use a video call? I hope so
Tom Scott would be GREAT for a telephone numbers discussion, tho
Jay Foreman would be better than tom for town planning
@@Nadia1989 Probably just a discussion on pretty much anything with all the places he's been

Americans have no need to travel abroad, they have everything they could possibly need in the US and can visit every climate of the world within their borders..Why bother with all the crap happening in the rest of the world?
Evan: mum, I’m becoming a UK citizen
Evan’s Mum: it’s treason then
this made me giggle
Okay not the reaction I expected from the parents... Id understand "how could you do this to me, are you never coming back" but " how can you do this to America" seems kinda odd
it's so surprising, his family is part of the 80% who have never left america
Its because when she was brought up, she was taught that the US is the greatest country and that every other country is bad
@@haashirkabeer2671 well even if that's true, she was also brought up with family values. It's not a case of it being a cooky American nationalist thing , it's weird even for a cooky American nationalist

Where did you live before that?
Where did you live before becoming British?
"I don't know how many people I know that are that educated in town planning and houses"

I feel like Jay Foreman has knowledge of all things - there's probably something in there about UK town planning
SNMG yeah his London series shows he has at least some knowledge
I remember when I became a Kenyan citizen, when first travelling to UK, I phoned my mother asking her to write me a letter of invitation. She asked why and I explained my change of status. She replied "what, you're a foreigner?". When I arrived, she greeted me with " I was expecting my son, who is this middle aged man!"
🤣 that is the most British mum reaction I've ever heard.
Evan - my husband is a UK town planner. He’d be happy to talk you through it (planning permission video going up on my channel soon too)
The amount jay foreman researchs for his videos he's probably pretty knowledgeable about town planning
Hello Evan! Just wanted say I appreciate all your videos with moving from the US to the UK! I'm in the process of trying to make a permeant move here myself and you're videos have given me loads of solid advice and hope that I can possibly make it happen!
Thanks! x
Jay Foreman might be the one to talk to about town planning!
JayForeman covers town planning in his Unfinished London series, you could work with him again. I’d Love to see that video
You should do a collab with Lost In The Pond. He's a Brit that moved to the states!
I can see Lawrence applying for US citizenship - he couldn't wait to get back to Chicago
That would be fantastic! I love LITP!
That would be an interesting perspective from the reverse.
I think his plan is to return to the UK when financially solvent. He can’t say too many negative things about the US as that is his gravy train.
Evan: wants to get a British citizenship
His mum: hOw CoUlD yOu Do ThIs To AmErIcA
For a video on town planning, would you consider asking Jay Foreman to join you again (post quarantine)? I'm pretty sure he has a lot of opinions and knowledge on that matter.
He could do it during quarantine through some kind of video chat

The biggest example though is from my life when I just started studying at the university and they were doing a welcome presentation to the students, and at some point a lady started talking who I think works as the international students adviser or representative or something like that (we had a lot of international students, including me as well). And she was the only person who was speaking so slow (probably trying to help the international students understand better) but it was way too slow that I could just no longer follow her anymore. Imagine someone taking 5 seconds (I'm exaggerating of course) to pronounce a single word, by the time she finished you're already gone in your mind thinking of other things. 😄
@@nat3007 Yeah I got that point. I was meant to reply to Aurora. 🙂
Honestly I can’t listen to most audiobooks just because they speak so dang slow and I dislike the pitch shift by speeding it up.
He sounds like I'm playing this at 1.5 speed.
Hello WELCOME back to rainy stuff
I am Northern Irish and can confirm it is a country, also offended that people think its not lol
For your town planning video, hit up "city beautiful" for support. He really knows his stuff so can feed you with lots of useful information
Your description of how meditation affects you outside of whilst your meditating is super interesting! I’m going to give it a go and be more open minded.
P.s last year I tried to go avocado plants by following your video and failed miserably 😂
RE: Town planning: find a person who works in town planning. There's the Royal Town Planning Institute. Pretty sure they've gotta have someone good at public chat. :)
Thank you for your service
you have had Jay Foreman
on already and he would be really good for the town planning ep
CITY BEAUTIFUL for town planning!
So this dude’s ancestors went all the way to America just for him to go back to their original country 😂😂
Ooh, theres an ancestry DNA video that disproves that. Sorta. Plus! We're all from everywhere ^^
Do the US vs UK town plan vid with JAY FOREMAN!!! I LOVE THE VIDS YOU DID WITH HIM
Loving these videos
Ah, so it wasn't my imagination when I thought it looked like your mom wanted to cry half the time during one of your videos. lol
I deal with similar with my mom. We need to find our own place in the world. I don't know about you and your mom, but me and mine wouldn't see much more of each other even if we lived closer. So...😄 We live on opposite ends of the U.S.
Hello and welcome back to the pun king kingdom
UK planning is often requires a delibration. Cambridge City council discussed planning for a shopping centre in 1921 and it eventually opened in 2007. A short time when the city dates back 800 years when the university was founded. .
I'd like to see you do a town-planning video, but I wouldn't say that many towns in Britain have been "planned" per se. Many towns, especially in industrialised areas, were thrown together quickly, without much rhyme or reason other than providing accommodation for the workers in the area. Often they were even paid for in part by the companies running the industry. They were often built for purpose, and the bare minimum at that, without much thought given to making the area look nice. The UK also has the disadvantage of having a fairly long history of established permanent settlements through different periods, using different materials. The United States, having been inhabited by notoriously nomadic peoples, was essentially like approaching a blank canvas. Planners & architects had the luxury of being as creative and/or pragmatic as they wanted. The US also has the geographical advantage of being far removed from the battlefronts of the Second World War (the tragedy at Pearl Harbour aside), and as such didn't suffer the heavy bombing runs that destroyed or damaged so much of the architecture in most British cities. That's got a lot to do with why they're such a strange, almost chimeric beast of old and new buildings.
Yes to the town planning and also please explain Council Houses.
