+denvercolorado2010 I complain all the time about that... my bf is Venezuelan but he has been living in miami since...forever... so he's "American xD" and everytime we talk about weather im just like: "stop... I dont want to mentally convert ºF into Cº... thanks" :( why dont you just use m, cm, km.... ºC... =c *cries* XD!!!
Molestar (in Spanish "to bother or pester") is not the same as molest (in English " to sexually assault or abuse"). So when in 5th grade, my teacher mentioned that a parent called the cops on a teacher for molesting their child, I responded with "What a cry baby." Later, at a parent teacher meeting, the definition of "molest" was explained to me.
That's a funny example of what an impact in meaning similar words in different languages can convey. I have to wonder what "molesting", in the English sense, translated into Spanish, would be. I can't think of one..
Gracias, John. Creo que "acosar" seria la mas aproximada traduccion... En mi pais, Rep. Dominicana, "morbosear" significa ver o meterse en cosas que no son apropiadas para gente agena a la situacion.. Violar es "rape".
In Victoria English the verb "to molest" did use to mean "to bother or pester," of course it's now an archaic definition and if used now-a-days it has a lustrous meaning with it.
Ugh but I HATE that, like people do go to Walmart or the gas station in their PJs, especially if it’s late, but it still seems kinda trashy to a lot of people lol
In California almost every street name is in Spanish (and lots of neighborhoods) and than you have to learn how to MISPRONOUNCE your own language so people here understand directions.
The same thing happens in New Zealand... I struggle to mispronounce my native language so that white people can understand me... in Maori we also roll our R’s and our vowel sounds are the same as Spanish.. so I feel your pain
Those free refills! When I traveled to the US on a Holliday and someone went and poured me more soda without asking I freaked out internally...Even when my friend explained that refills were something common and free I kept asking him nervously " Are you sure they're free? But are you sure... But are you sure SURE? "
dianateabag I experienced the opposite. My parents are Puerto Rican but we had to move to the US when I was a baby, so I'm accustomed to free refills. Every time I visit Puerto Rico, I always forget you usually have to pay for a refill
My favorite experience as an American is to hear some sort of blast or explosion at two in the morning and not be able to tell if the noise was a gun or fireworks. Bonus points: only one of those things are illegal in your state, and it's not the gun.
This actually happened to me where I used to live. I'd randomly hear an explosion type sound and I'd wonder if it was a gun or fireworks bc where I used to live there would be a bunch of crime
This is so relatable because sometimes I hear fireworks sound off at 2am and some nights I hear gunshots. One night, a guy got shot in the head a few blocks from my house.
The tax thing actually broke my little heart once. I was little and I was in Miami for my holidays, and I only had like 30 dollars. Magically I found a pair of shoes that were like 29.00 and I was so happy that I had enough money to buy them. But when I tried... :c
Bruh when I was little I was a dollar short due to tax but since I was a Latina getting Ecuadorian Food, they let me just forget it which I remember to this day cause they actually said,” Latinas stick together”
Oh God, I lived in the U.S. for almost a year and when I firt got there, was like 'DUDE! why don'tyou just add the tax to the price? so I can know how much I actually need to pay for your damn burger!' and festive days, like wtf! I'm from Chile so if you're latino, you get me, for example, in my country November 1st is festive, and if this year Nov 1st is wednesday, you get monday and tuesday festive just because! and did you know that in the U.S. after a woman gives birth to a baby she has a month off work? that's so freaking weird! in Chile you get SIX MONTHS!
Maybe these are reasons why Chile is a shitty 'country' that no one cares about. Notice how no one's writing about how unique/special/weird/crazy...etc, things are in Chile? It 'cause no one gives a rat's ass. And taxes are purposefully separate here; it's how we know how much the government is stealing from us every time we buy something. We can easily tell when it tries to sneakily raise taxes, as all governments are wont to do. Knowing is better than "ignorance is bliss." (Maybe the math, uh...6, or 8, per cent is too hard for you.) South America is essentially a cesspool, with very few bright objects (ie., havens from crushing poverty, primarily occupied by corrupt politicians and 'rich' foreigners). And, oh... Btw - it's easy to get six months off when you're not working to start with. Or if you are, it's at a pitifully meager rate of pay. Yeah, ain't that great... Okay - must be time for your siesta now, "Dude." After which, you can enjoy your extended 'fiesta'... (What a joke...)
Josie Cranfill in Chile, when a woman is pregnant she gets paid, and there's a law that says employer can't fire the woman for at least a year so that's a good thing :D and San Pedro is a gorgeous place!! I went during this last summer and I currently live in Valparaìso, at the sea level and when I went it was so hard to get used to the height xD
Who is they? Chile is not a shitty country! you don't even know how life is here! and we know how much is our taxes but I just find it more practical when it's included, it's just my opinion, I never ment to hurt your feelings and I will not stand someone talking bad stuff about my country, which btw you know NOTHING about.
+highoffdank you and 400,000,000 others were born in the U.S.? does it mean something.. nope... after all USA is a country by immigrants for immigrants... By the Way, bruce willis was born abroad, the same as many unitedstatians, to me specifying you were born in mainland USA(which is nothing special in iteself) might mean you are trying to get attention, or you have insecurities about your own citizenship... Being born in a land and becoming a citizen of said land, is not as powerful as having blood which has been living in that land for hundreds or thousands of years.
You sound so angry that I said that, like, chill. stephan walliser "trying to get attention", you're just mad for no reason though. I am natural born in the U.S. why are you mad about that? It's the U.S. LAW.
+highoffdank YOUR STATEMENT MADE ME FEEL FEELS, I HAVE ISSUES I CAN'T QUITE UNDERSTAND SO I'M GOING TO NOT SO PASSIVELY AGGRESSIVELY BLAME IT ON YOU. Something something immigrants #lerealamericans
I’m Colombian, here we do the same as in the rest of Latin and Central America, I lived in Germany and never had an issue with paying stuff in Europe then I worked for an US company and the typical question was “ and how much would it be after taxes?” That blew my mind bc I have never live in the USA and I was talking to people all over the states so I didn’t know about “their” exact tax percentage.
Lol when she said “I’m from Maryland where are u from” “I’m from Arkansas” caught me off guard because I’m from Arkansas and no one ever talks about us 😂
jajaja, here in Chile we have around 10 free days in the year. we call them "feriados" example: Christmas, New Year, "fiestas patrias" (it's like as 4th July for you), many religious celebrations and etc, etc... etc.
Well lately I been forced to identify by race and not nationality. And if I don't it means I'm not proud of my roots because somehow saying I'm Mexican/Dominican and or Puerto Rican or whatever is not enough. Apparently being mix with European, native and Africans means you're black because the Europeans kill your people (which I guess race is based on principle and not fact) and natives were kill so that leaves black which I always feel it will get funny looks since I'm pale as hell. So yes the US obsession with identifying by race and not nationality makes my head hurt.
Tauane Tome bullshit. I got a small soda from a McDonald's drive through last week. It was smaller than a coffee cup. You only get giant drinks and giant meals when you order them in a large size..
If you want lunacy and cup size, go to any coffee shop especially Starbucks, because if you ask for a tall you'll get a small, if you ask for a large lot of times if they don't scratch their heads in front of you they'll give you a best what's actually a medium, so we're even then you have to watch how you asked for it, because in most coffee shops I've been to, In order to get an outright large, you have to ask for like a venti or a grande. Thankfully, unless you happen to buy one of their special mugs or their big old beer stein size containers, you won't actually get a large oh, you'll really get what would only be about up to 25 oz, give or take
@@jamesjfisk4968 if you ask for a medium or a large at most McDonald's you get a medium or large, and I've never been to a McDonald's where they actually will give you more than about 10 oz of coffee in a single container. So whichever McDonald's you went to that you got supposed medium drink that was smaller than the coffee, that wasn't the McDonald's that was the person messing up who handed you the cup. Most Smalls unless you go child size at McDonald's, are at least 12 to 16 oz, while they're mediums are up to about 25 or so ounces and their large is our about 30 Oz if not up to 35 ounces even today.
***** en Venezuela se usa el "buen provecho". En inglés se usa mayormente la versión francesa "bon appetit", pero los gringos tienen una basica que no es literal pero se usa para lo mismo "have a nice meal", dicen ellos también.
The topic comes up here quite a bit. The problem is that the ones over here that want our vacation days to line up more with what other countries have are very seldom the ones that have the authority to make that change.
Born and raised here in the USA. But I have been told by family members from Mexico that it's weird that my dog wears clothes and why does she need a bed with several covers.
So that it seems cheaper to the customer and they buy more stuff. Kind of like 4.99 vs 5 dollars. You know it's basically five dollars but the mind perceives it as a cheaper price.
INACTIVE CHANNEL my fellow Dominican I been here for 4 months I everyday I am mind blown with the weirdness of this country and I used to think DR was fucked
The whole crime thing is largely a myth. Yes we do have crimes, but it is largely exaggerated of how many. It just that they get feature on the news a lot more. It is because of media Bias that the myth begun
Apparently in the USA American kids recite the Pledge of Allegiance every day? Is this true? Also, portion sizes. The US small is a British large or extra large. Why do you need a milkshake the size of your head?
The state thing really isn’t weird when you remember that the country is massive. Some of our states are bigger than some entire countries. The same way you’d have a lot to talk about with someone from Venezuela is the same way most people have with their states.
Ok this is one crazy thing about America. I was used to have nice and real lunch like rice, salad and chicken, but here people get grilled cheese sandwich for lunch and they are totally fine with it!!! WTF I mean... If you do that in Venezuela people would think that you have no money to buy decent food Lol
Roberto Villasmil Its because Americans are always in a hurry so when they buy lunch they buy simplest food that can be eaten in a short amount of time
When I moved to America, the first day of class, they all started saying the pledge of allegiance all at once and I was very scared. I remember thinking "How do they all know the words and when to say them? When did they learn this?"
Typically, the pledge is something taught to first graders. Depending on the State, school system, and sometimes even individual classrooms dictates how often and for how long a student may be prompted to recite it ... usually not beyond Elementary School. It's a discipline thing, not an indoctrination tool. It isn't universal. Some schools have stopped doing it altogether. The phrase "Under God" was added to it in the 50's, and was always controversial. Leading to many states to ban it due to the conflict in separating church and state. In my State of Georgia for example, used to require students to stand to recite the Lord's prayer until they were successfully sued ... as a result, they stopped requiring students to recite the pledge as well. This was over 30 years ago.
+jesninee Like OMG that is like literally not true. Like I'm from California and I literally don't say literally all the time. Like why do you have to be so judgemental??? Like sheesh.....
That's true, and I'm not generalizing because that's incorrect, but many people in United States get so offended, when some of them are the ones that actually try to offend Latin America people, only saying the facts.
JamesJ Fisk, If you actually read my comment properly, I said that I was not generalizing, and yes, -i know that a lot of Latinos offend americans too, but you know, why can't we have a pacific relationship?
true for us Europeans too.... its like, you dont know what to say and what is a joke anymore when speaking to an American... everybody gets so triggered over anything....everything is either racist (even when it has nothing to do with race, but americans dont know what is race, what is ethnicity and what is a nationality anymore), sexist (even though it is totally clear it was a joke) or ignorant (when they want to force their opinions on you but you heard them and still decide to think the same way)
I heard someone say that what Americans call "football" should be called "handegg," because you hardly play with your feet, and the thing you handle doesn't look like a ball.
Comparing with many countries in the world US (specially central area , Montana , Idaho , Wyoming , Nebraska North Dakota , South Dakota , Iowa ) got the worst public transportation. Some areas does not have anything at all. Anyone agree ? No wonder all the foreigners end up in NYC and LA.
No that is completey false.You're nameing midwest states witch is were i live there is no problem with public transportation here or anywere in America just the people who use it lol
Jason Sipe are you out of your mind. I have lived in midwest. You must have your own car. Do you have buses or trains at 9.45 pm at night ? NO. except greyhound buses. when you go to France , Germany , Italy, ... They have public transportation at least till 11 pm or probably 24 hours. NOT IN US. In California there are some buses and trains but only in big cities that runs 24 hours. that was my point. US public transportation is so behind comparing with European countries. or even with Canada.
i´ve been in SD a couple of times, and have seen few buses, but people don´t use them. Most of the people uses a car, i think it depends on the population and how tourist the place is. for example in Cancun you can get a bus 24/7
Santiago Delgadillo Centeno but people from Europe and Latin America come to US and feel stranded when they visit mid west ( central part of US) . They expect better public transportation or more buses and trains. Even for US citizens it is hard when your car breaks down and you only have few buses that go in your area. California and New York state are some what better because there are many people who take public transportation. but comparing is Europe specially UK and Japan, US public transportation is so far behind.
Being from Puerto Rico (and therefore influenced by the USA in so many aspects) WHY THE TAX IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE PRICE TAG I hate that when I go to buy something I must have at least $5 extra to cover the f*cking tax.
@@yaboibradautry I exaggerated a bit. In PR right now it is at 11.5%. It's just kinda annoying that if something is priced for $10 and I have exactly $10 in my wallet then I can't buy it because I'll have to pay around $1.15 extra for the taxes. It would be much better if the price included the taxes so I can know right from the beginning exactly how much I'm gonna pay.
+Joanna Hausmann se te olvidó el sistema imperial (Fahrenheit, Miles, Inches, Feet, etc...) creo que es lo más fastidioso y difícil de adaptar. De resto, excelente!
+Luis Pulido la verdad no es tan difícil. Y si Joanna llegó a Estados Unidos en High school, lo más seguro es que ella utilizó el sistema métrico porque lo enseñan tanto en mate como en ciencias. Así que no es TAN trabajoso. Además, mientras más usas los galones y las onzas, más te acostumbras. No te genera el shock que te da el tener que agregar el impuesto a TODO. O el tener 30 sabores de papitas Lays o de yoghurt. LOL. O el darte cuenta que decirle cholo, negro, chino, etc a una persona está considero como algo super ofensivo. ;)
+Andrea Blacker Hey, my 'buelita's nickname was "Prieta." Try to explain that to friends who come over to play. Had a Tia "Cuerva," too, and a neighbor named "Morena." In fact, trying to explain Spanish nicknames to anyone is a problem. They don't understand that there might be five Jose Fernandez's around, so one is "Bobo/Bobes," another "Manzanas," "Carabino," and even "Porkchops," (pronounced Porchappas, of course). Only one is "Jose." I guess he got here first? lol
I'm from Mexico, and when I came here I never knew how much I could buy with confidence. Because in Mexico the price of everything already includes the taxes, so you know what you're gonna pay. U see something on the shelf, and the price in there is exactly what you are going to pay. Thank God I'm used to it now, and here where I live, some Mexican stores are doing that too. Which is nice.
My additional list: 1. The space between the floor and the toilet door is too fucking HUGEEEEEEEEEE. 2. Definition of handicapped in the US: not owning a car. 3. The imperial system 4. Everyone is friendly. It's a good thing of course but are they actually friendly or are they just faking it? 5. Food portions are definitely bigger 6. How are you is not a question but a greeting 7. The politics here are pretty complicated 8. Despite being aware of all the problems, Americans are still very patriotic (which is a good thing I guess)
The thing about states is the same as countries in Latin America. If you meet an Argentinian you'll be like: oh hi. If you meet another Venezuelan... This happens because the US is DAMN BIG, and each state is like a mini country. Same happens in Brazil (My state is as big as France)
Daniel Fronc dumbass, he was saying that Brazil is similar to the US, namely, it is also a large country whose states are sometimes as large as many European countries
Well, you must be referring to a Bostonian or someone from the Bronx in NYC. Folks in other parts of the US will say, "You're not from around here, are you?" as if that's in doubt.

Wow that’s really nice cause where I am if your burger is 9.99 and you have 10 your 59 cents short...... cause we have 6% tax that’s not included in the prices 🎉
You cannot drink on the streets in most states!! WHAT! How do you have picnics in the park without wine? or sangria? Also, not napping in public! What? what if I wanna take a nap on the grass, or a tiny refresher in a club? nope, they kick you out.... they're not friends of the siesta. Also, people have an aversion to public transportation that I cannot fathom. "You're takin g the bus?! why!" Cause I don't have a car and it takes me where I wanna go, and it's the prettiest bus I've ever been in.... also the closest thing is 6 km away!" Anyway.... yes, lots of tiny things.
People come to Spain a lot because it gets really hot but as having Spanish grandparents, I know that it also snows quite a bit in some places in mainland Spain and it's actually like so fuck-off freezing at times...
+davidmontu everyone does that though... I know America is a continent but none of the other countries in this continent consider themselves to be America lol
I'm an international student in the US (from the Bahamas 🇧🇸🇧🇸🇧🇸) and one thing that always startles me is how FREAKING LARGE THE FOOD PORTIONS HERE ARE. Like unless you're an athlete, have a crazy metabolism, or an eating problem I don't understand how you can possibly finish the meals. Also it's so weird how no one greets anyone in public. No "good day/morning/afternoon/evening/night" or "yes/no ma'am/sir". And they tend to be insulted when you show them respect like that, and I feel awkward/insulted when they don't say it back.
I have a friend who moved to my state from Quebec 2 years ago, and she's still doesn't get the pledge of allegiance thing XD Also, states are extremely important. So is region though. "Wait, you're from New England too?! YES LET US TALK ABOUT HOW SHITTY THE WEATHER IS AND GET INTO A FIGHT OVER YANKEES V. REDSOX"
Yeah don’t forgot bonding over mutual sports rivals. I met some guys from the Bronx in Mexico a couple years ago and every time I saw them I was like “f*ck the Red Sox,” and they’d reciprocate.
+Marlene S "In my country, we kiss. And we all have cold sores. End of story." I don't actually believe this...but that punchline was just too good to pass up.
+Marlene S Well, in Venezuela we say hello and goodbye with a kiss, but when I meet somebody, I don't kiss her/him because there's not trust between us.
In Florida where I live. We have double. one side is McDonald's. Pizza Hut. Taco Bell. Wendy's and Popeyes. KFC. Publix. Winn Dixie. Hungry Howies. ON THE OTHER SIDE OF TOWN which is like a 10 minute drive. You have the same food restaurants and stores....
+Janet Jaidez I found that depressive when I went to Orlando and the fact that there is no variation to the land its just flat shitty swamps and gun nuts.
Yo tenia 19 años y estaba con mi familia en un walmart comprando mariqueras para comer en el hotel. Resulta que la costumbre que siempre he tenido es la de recoger las cosas del carrito y ponerselas al señor de la caja para que mi papa o mi mama no se esten agachando rapido ni nada. Bueno, resulta que mi papá se compró su respectivo 6-pack de bud-cacaweisser y yo la pongo del carrito a la vaina para pagar y el panameño-costaricense-puertoriqueño-cubano me pide el aidi (ID) y yo le digo que: pa que? si yo no voy a pagar porque tengo 19 años, eso es de mi papá, y el bicho me dice que eso es como si mi papá me diera un permiso subconciente de beber. Y yo ay que mariquera, aja y entonces?, la vaina era que mi papá tenía que recoger ese 6-pack devolverlo, buscar otro y pagarlo el sin que yo lo tocara. La vaina fue asi como sieeeeej majomenoooo? y yo bueh.. murica.
A los vendedores o cajeros o a cualquier trabajador los están vigilando o supervisando constantemente, los pueden demandar y meter a la cárcel por eso son tan estrictos dentro de sus puestos de trabajo.
Political Correctness, seriously. When I lived in El Salvador people would get nicknames based on their skin tone, and it was an affectional thing and not an offensive one.
+Melissa Barrera Exactly, in El Salvador they would even have several ways to call some one who was white and someone who had darker skin. Names like Chele leche, Chele Yuca, El Chino, and it wasn't meant to offend anyone, but in the US you say something like that and they'll call you a racist.
+Analise C .. In my native Dominican Republic, ever since I can remember, the kids used to call me "ojo e gato", or simply, "Gato". ,, Sometimes, "rubito", or "blanquito". Never took it to be an insult. It was just people's way of referring to anyone with a distinctive quality which befitted his/her looks or demeanor... never said as mockery, I don't think.
Growing up with Mexican parents and Latino siblings I personally wondered why they would call people those names, and to this day it disturbs me a lot. Even if meant with a good hearts, those people got that nickname most likely because of some negative thing they did or negative thing about them. I am extremely grateful that here in America we usually don't have it like in those countries. (With my friends I use terms like Madame, sir, mister, missus, ma'am, Doctor, president, and lady followed my their first or last name, this is how it should be done).
That saran wrap shit that it doesn't stick really fucked me up when I went to the states for the first time.."Americans make everything so convenient, why did they fuck this up? Why the hell doesn't this stick!?"
Pablo Díaz apparently the trick is that it's not supposed to stick to anything else.. but it's supposed to stick to itself. Weird, i know! But it works if you can figure it out
We grew up saying "no thank you" when you go to someone's house and they offer you something to eat. In our country the person will insist until you say ok. Here, you say "no thank you" and it's over! What happened to the polite banter back and forth!?
+Alec Joseph It makes perfect sense. "I just made some [whatever; say cookies]." "No, thank you." "Oh, yes; you must have some." "I really shouldn't. I'm on a diet." "But you're so thin! It's cold out. You need your strength!" "Well...if you insist." An real insult? You don't offer someone a cup of coffee and a bocadilla when they walk past your house and you're pulling weeds or otherwise occupied with something. Work is no excuse not to socialize. You can work after they leave, at midnight if necessary. Worst insult that's in your face . . . that means you don't recognize their existence or right to live on the same planet as you? Don't offer them a cup of coffee. Seriously (sort of). Someone drops in and you smile, hug, chat for a while, but the whole time they're there, you don't put that coffee pot on? Or even worse, you just made fresh coffee and don't pour some? It means they're dead to you. Just leave and never come back.
+Melatina77 After 35 years living here, my mother still doesn't accept that "American quirk." I had one poor classmate go home nauseous from overeating (having already eaten before coming to my home). My mother didn't understand it wasn't polite banter - she really did mean "No."
Chatoyancify My grandmother was Italian and she didn't do that little ritual that the Spanish side of the family did. My mother would be insulted and hurt if you didn't eat her food. I think she wanted to feed everyone! I would see it in her face how happy she was when everyone was eating, talking and having a good time. We used to joke that she lived in the kitchen.
+PennyPlunderer No vengas con cuento, que ya deje de creer en los unicornios hace tiempo, "cámaras en las calles" lo que uno tiene que escuchar... U_U ni que existiese alguien lo suficientemente tonto como para poner una cámara en plena calle.
+Lucio Coudannes De hecho, el termino "Americano" para referirse a los "gringos" esta bien, porque su país se llama Estados Unidos de AMERICA, asi que el nombre del pais es America. Solo que nosotros los latinos estamos acostumbrados a llamarlo Estados Unidos
+Lucho AMVs, en realidad no es así, América no es el nombre de USA (united states "OF" America), los historiadores, politólogos etc.. suelen decir: que como USA fue la primer región del continente Americano en independizarse, las 13 colonias hicieron una unión de las partes que controlaban en ese entonces llamándole "Estados" unidos "de" América, en realidad cuando decidan separarse por ejemplo texas, y otros estados de USA, dejaran de ser una unión como tal, llamándose a cada estado por su propio nombre, Imagínate que Guatemala hasta Costa Rica fueron también una unión de estados, cada país pequeño es un estado, excepto los grandes como brasil y mexico, creo que también incluye a Argentina.por lo tanto si toda la región se uniera seria llamado también (Estados Unidos "de América", por supuesto desde mexico hasta argentina) y si me decís que debería llamarse Estados unidos de Latino América, no estas mal, pero entonces USA debería llamarse (Estados unidos de Anglo-América). Estudien y no sean dogmáticos.
Americans live to work. That's sad. Working all year round and getting no paid vacation? Having a child and leaving them at 6 weeks old? Sure, because you are a slave to your job. Have a life? Pfff, why would you? I feel really sorry for people who have to work like this. I live in Russia and we have 28 days of paid vacation by law and 1,5-3 year maternity leave. My country is not perfect of course but I can't imaging living to work. That's terrible. It looks like companies treat their employees not like humans with rights and lives but live robots. As for Christmas holidays we have about 10 days off.
DJ JONES I do? Because they pay for my deserved vacation? That's what normal countries do, they don't make you a slave of your job. But if there is nothing else worth living for in your life... ok.
Definitivamente, negociar las multas de transito es lo mas común aquí. "Algo pal café" y listo.. aunque no se donde lo compran ellos porque a 2,000 Bs por un café, debe ser traido de arabia, molido por angeles y colado en las telas mas finas de un faraón...
I'm from Venezuela and I totally dislike how peeps celebrate Xmas here. It is so weird and boring af! I miss the super happy, vibrant, full of fun Xmas times in Venezuela. Well, how it used to be many years ago, cuz the situation there now is beyond deplorable. It saddens me...
I sympathize with you, Ana... The political and economic situation in Venezuela is sad and tragic. It hurts that a potentially wealthy nation is starving its citizens. I feel for its children, especially... But yes, Xmas time in Latin nations like Venezuela and the Dominican Rep. (were I'm from), is a real blast compared to the boring, gloomy "celebration" in the US. Good reason I try to travel there whenever I can. We're doing well in DR. We have plenty of affordable food and drinks. Someday your nation will, too...
Disculpa por preguntar, pero, no hay alguna forma que la gente de tu país puedan pedir un referéndum de revocatoria? Si la gran parte está en contra de la forma de gobierno podrían pedir sacar al gobernante, no?

Hate political correctness. People can get offended by practically anything, which leads to tip-toeing around, beating around the bush, and blah blah blah... Unnecessary.
I hate it too! I remember when I was young we would just hunt for food in woods, then steal it from one another, then steal other people's wives, then kill their kids.Man, those were the days! Now because of those PC SJW's we gotta like 'watch out for others' and like 'not hurt people intentionally'. Pff, I miss the good ol' days.
Why the fuck would you hate political correctness? It's not about other people being easily offended, it's about you keeping your prejudiced opinions to yourself. Feel free to call your friends whatever you want out of love and friendship, but don't go up to a black stranger and call him a "ni**er" or an effeminate male stranger and call him a "fa**ot". Using those words to describe strangers shows that you don't respect a part of their being. RESPECT. No one needs to know about your messed up prejudices... keep them to yourself and your prejudiced circle of friends.
One thing that is subconsciously drilled into American minds from the time you're a kid is that USA is the best country in the world. People are very patriotic (for different reasons, but some don't even know why) but very ethnocentric. They think that the stereotypes in movies and the media define people of other cultures. For example, most people in US think that Mexicans are only good cooks, or that taco bell is Mexican food. They call everything "taco". taco this, taco that. But don't even know what a real taco is. They love the restaurants, but they don't love Mexican people. They are offended that many phone menus have a Spanish option, and will stare horribly in public if you are speaking Spanish in the open. They will tell you to speak English without shame, even though it is not the official national language.
MinnieTyko true, some are like this, but not everyone. A lot of Americans do believe that we're the best country in the world, partially because a lot of freedom laws we have, and the Pursuit of Happiness and all that. Personally I don't think there is a 'best' of anything, but some countries are better than others (when it comes to economy, living situations, etc.) at just living life. And no, not all Americans think that about Mexicans. I've personally always hated American tacos and American-Mexican food. I'd rather have the original, homemade version. No one gets offended by someone speaking another language (maybe a few close-minded people), but I agree some people do stare. I don't personally care, as long as you're a nice person. Many Americans (including myself), try to learn a few words and phrases in the Spanish language to have a conversation with someone, or to get around. And lots of people are just interested as to what people are talking about, and want to know more about the language. I'll take the time here to apologize for the rude people you're talking about. So please, next time, at least don't categorize over 300,000,000 people into one group by your personal experiences.
We stare horribly when people speak other languages? I would spend my entire life "staring horribly" if that were true. I hear people speaking Spanish, Creole, Russian, Korean, Chinese etc every single day. Nobody cares about that. It's just part of living in America.
English may not be the "official" language, but the United States was born from English culture. The original 13 colonies were not subjects of spain, but England. Eventually we grew tired of English rule, so what makes you think we want to be colonized by Mexico?
You sure generalize a lot about Americans, for somebody who doesn't like being generalized about. How many states have you been to, one? "Most people is US" do NOT call everything taco, and only a tiny handful in viral videos get mad about Spanish.
You don't have to be from another country to get freaked out by a little dab'll of snow or frost on your car, because some of my relatives who like me are originally from Illinois, which is almost in the center of the country, they moved to like Florida, and one of their more recent trips back to our home area, they had been around the tropical weather of Florida so much that they actually we're surprised that they forgot how cold it gets between November and March north of the Ohio river, which cuts between Kentucky and Indiana.
In the heartland of America especially over the last decade, we have had multiple situations where it has snowed all the way into middle of May, even as early as the middle of October. Frankly, if snow happens to be your Achilles heel, then I suggest only coming into the heartland between June and August, and outside of those months just to be safe, I suggest you stay away from Kansas and Tuesday South of Tennessee, though Alabama and rest of the South have recently enough experienced their own snowmageddon as a manner of speaking
I feel like states are big deal for Mexicans too. It's always one of the opener sentences when my mom meets someone new. And if they're from the same state that she's from she gets all excited and tells them what town she's from and then they always end up talking about the food from there. And if two Mexicans are from different states they'll start comparing each other's food (what's up with food??). It's always like "The mole from Michoacan is so good. I don't like the mole from Puebla but I still make it for my husband." "How do you make your tamales? "What's that one salsa you guys make?". Maybe it's just a way for Mexicans in the US to feel nostalgic about where they're from. I wonder if it's the same in Mexico.
Not just in US, I live in Mexico and that happens here. We're like: I prefer the way veracruzanos make the tacos de cochinita pivil and the the other dude says: no, dude, Meridas's tacos de cochinita are wayyyy better bc they are the original....
+Lauregui Definitely true. Even more so when you're from a state that is not really well represented where you live. Like I'm a Sinaloense in California, and when I meet another Sinaloense it is like instant familia. Everyone around here is from Michoacan or Guadalajara, so it makes some difference.
+Lauregui The food thing is from everywhere, except maybe the "cold" European countries. French discuss the foods and wines from Provence vs. Paris; in Spain, paella and sausages are a constant discussion; ask any Italian about Milanese vs. Sicilian food, and five conversations break out. Meantime, in the U.S., just mention the word "barbecue" to someone from Missouri (Kansas City Smoke), Texas (thin, long-basted sauce), South Carolina (the Mustard Belt), North Carolina (the Vinegar Belt), or places like Nebraska, where they buy sugary tomato sauce in a bottle. Let the battle ensue about the proper way to make BBQ sauce. Even cities are different within the states, such as Memphis vs. Nashville. Don't even start with chili! Food can be a conversation-starter or one that causes a full-blown war here. lmao
The love of meatloaf with ketchup, and the looks you get when you first say "I have never had meatloaf and ketchup." BTW I have tried it, and I liked the meatloaf and I like ketchup but together I do not like together. Also Joanna please never stop doing these, I love them and you.
Chatoyancify Yes, if the boss asks you to do something even if it's outside work hours or your job description and you don't do it you will be looked as a lazy irresponsible employee.
Speed Limits.a I spend more time looking at the speedometer than the road. And what about the places where it goes to 35 mph from 70? And of course there is a cop waiting for you.
+Cristobal Hernandez YESSSSS ....she missed this one and for me it's the biggest one. I never look at the speedometer in Venezuela unless I feel the car is about to take off.
+Joanna Hausmann es gracioso como tratas de explicar que en USA hay que obedecer el semáforo y el gringo no se lo cree y piensa que son solo "vainas tuyas"
+Joanna Hausmann LA PUNTUALIDAD, si te dicen "nos vamos a reunir tipo chill en mi casa a las 8pm" a las 8 en punto debes llegar porque si no, te miran feo. En cambio en vzla esa misma reunión quiere decir a partir de las 10 pm. LAS FIESTA O MATRIMONIOS. en USA un Matrimonio es de 5 a 10pm ; y cuando son las 10 en punto chao todo el mundo para afuera que la fiesta se acabó; o si no hasta la policía puede llegar. En Venezuela ese mismo Matrimonio, la gente llega luego de las 7 y allí rumbean hasta que la caña se acabe, que es tipo 1, 2 am RESTRICCIONES DIETÉTICAS. En especial Las "Soccer Moms". Es horrible hacer una fiesta infantil, porque te llega una mamá 2 semanas antes de la fiesta a decirte "My Son is Dairy-Free, Gluten-Free, No Sodas, No Sugar Candy, Alérgico al colorante Amarillo-5 y Rojo, etc..." . Entonces tu fiesta se vuelve una cosa super aburrida; solo para niños, con unos Cup-Cakes, chucherías 0 colorante y juguitos. De 3 a 6pm super puntal.
You sound Asian, and very very ignorant. Some European wages are still pretty high and since they don't have to be bothered with saving for healthcare and education, their purchasing power is even higher than the US average, even if they get paid a bit less.

Como comentario nadie me advirtió que: El fútbol americano es como religión. Nadie trabaja el día siguiente al juego final, es como un día feriado muy importante. A las novias y esposas se les llama football widows jeje. No sé si en todas las zonas es igual, pero nadie me advirtió que cuando dicen que hay una fiesta de adulto o de niños, que empieza a las cuatro y termina a las siete, todo el mundo llega puntual a las cuatro y se va a puntual a las siete. Nada de quedarse echando vaina hasta el amanecer. Como tercero y último puedo agregar que, al menos aquí en Connecticut, no sólo de vainita te ofrecen agua cuando visitas, sino que hay que llamar con anticipación para preguntar si puedes visitar. Nada de caer de sorpresa de repente
+Dorena R Atkins Mi primer juego de football, ví el tailgate de camino y eso si que es algo que todo tiene que estar perfecto. La ropa y hasta las cosas que traen tienen que tener el logo del equipo.
+Dorena R Atkins Que aburridos mano. Me gusta visitar a mis amigos con espontaneidad y ellos ami. No se por que habría problema en que me vinieran a visitar cuando quisiesen.
+Dorena R Atkins Aquí en países latinoamericanos te dicen que la fiesta empieza a las 4pm y llegas como mínimo dos horas después, y la fiesta termina por religión como después de la 1 am.
I was elementary school age when I came to this country. My mom wanted me to be in the American schools with me not knowing any English at all. What gets me and still does is when the teachers ( anyone in general ) spoke slower and louder to me thinking that will get me to understand better.
I don't live in USA, but, i'm concerned about the size of meals in there.... Or is it because I watch too much tv? lol Plates are huge, and sodas.... Jesus D:
+Karis Garra Ikr? I live not just in America, but in TEXAS. Land of the super-sized barbeque everything. And not only are the sizes huge, but you feel pressure to eat it all because otherwise you're wasting money, even if the plate was obviously designed for a seven-and-a-half foot tall and 250 pound person and I'm like, 5'3" and 112 pounds. Seriously, your parents will get angry if you don't eat EVERYTHING on the plate. XD (if you want an idea of our serving sizes, plates in restaurants here are 11-12 inches across usually. I know. Crazy.)
Tht is true, specially in Texas everything is huge Like u can share u meal in 3 ppl bt the food is delicious Is like u can never being in a diet nd dnt take me wrong im not fat I share lol bt tht is a way of living lol
+Karis Garra It is! They are ridiculously huge! They serve you the amount that two people would normally eat. And then you have to take it home... which I guess is not so bad xD 2x1!
In many other countries rules and routines aren't strictly enforced like in America... People are just taught the concept of watch the road, don't be focused on the phone, and note every other driver
The people in the states were very nice to me. When I visited, I got so many compliments on my French accent even though I could barely speak English at the time 😅
Ok, when I moved to the U.S. from Bolivia a big downer was the drugs commercials on TV (drugs as in medicine). These commercials are on every channel and they are so depressing, first you are enjoying your favorite tv show and then you get bombarded with these tv ads and they just make you realize that one day you will have diabetes, or liver problems or simply you will just become old and you will be dependent of all that shit. And what I hate the most are the stupid names they have and to top it off the freaking side effects that makes you realize that the solution is worse than the disease.
one thing you missed: BBQ they pretty much destroy a perfect piece of meat with that sauce... here in Chile we eat meat WITHOUT ANYTHING (besides some salt)
now, i have to agree sometime the quality of the meat is destroyed by the sauce. But bbq is very different depending on where you go. For instance the whole selling point of Kansas City (my hometown and bbq capital of the midwest) is the sweet and spicy sauce. whereas in Texas you have a dry rub and no sauce. Sauce is what makes BBQ here. based on the sauce you can tell where it's from. Sorry if that was bit rambly :)
Ignacio Arancibia It's apart of our culture. To us it really isn't that odd since we grew up with it...well...Some of us. I'm from New England so seafood is a bigger thing up here.
oh my gosh if you've ever had N. Carolina bbq you would know they truly destroy the meat....it's got vinegar all over it. It's horrible (to me). I am from further North so I prefer dark bbq sauce, but not a ton, just a lil.
here in Colorado when I was a kid we would do it every day and that was the first thing that we would do before starting class.. I'm Mexican/German I still find a lot of things weird here in the US 😂
There is this HUGE fight I had with all my teachers and friends because they said "North and South America are different continents" and MY WHOLE LIFE I've been taught that they are, indeed, the same continent called America.
something weird in america is when a new neightbour arrives, the old residents automaticly try to have a relationship with him, in USA is like, oh if you are my neightbour you are my friend, do you want coffe and cookies? :DDD im a good amerian person!!!! and you are like, go away, i don know you. but at the same time you want that delicious cookies, then you take it and close the door in their face.
About to get cheesy: This is my favorite Joanna Rants video. Not only because it's amazingly hilarious but it's also because this is the video that introduced me to Joanna and FLAMA. An American topic RUclips binge introduced me to one of my favorite RUclipsrs. I love this video!
Joanna, eres lo único bueno que tiene este canal. Y de las pocas cosas buenas que tiene los Estados Unidos. Por favor, que alguien es diga que dejen de llamar Football a un deporte que juegan con las manos!! En serio, esta mierda tiene que parar ya!
El fútbol no es un deporte. Es hombres quien llevan los calzones de mujeres, calcetines altos como una chiquita en una escuela, y no pueden patear el balón sin caer en el culo, llorando como un bebe-'¡Ay, ay, señor árbitro, me duele la rodilla derecha, aunque nadie ha me tocada! ¡Quiero mi mama! " ¡Que flojo es! PS-altura media de jugador de soccer-175 cm. altura media de un jugador del futbol americano: 193 cm y construido como un tanque. los gordos existen per no estan el estandar, y se llama football porque el quarterback patea el football y otros pueden tambien.
shadowkitty56 Me da igual la altura que tengan los deportistas. La altura no determina quién se queda con el nombre, de ser así los jugadores de baloncesto podrían robar el nombre del deporte que quisieran. Déjate de mierdas, dejad de llamar soccer al fútbol, y dejad de llamar fútbol a un deporte jugado con las manos.
YPG El fútbol, mi fútbol, se deriva su nombre de un hecho: se puede patear el football y usar los manos, mas como las versiones originales jugada antes de 1850. (Al tiempo las diferencias entre rugby, soccer, et mi fútbol no fueron enraizdos.) Es algo mucho más viejo que su definicíon. También, en realidad, si hay un bruto quien ha te robado de su balón, no yo quisiera un perdedor bajo quien solamente puede patear o correr (por no hablar de sus mentiras al árbitro para ganar faltas) . No, quisiera un hombre real, alguien quien puede aplastar el rival por la fuerza. Ese hombre está bienvenido en mi cama en cualquier momento. El enano, con sus habilidades patéticas y su charloteo interminable de "estrategia" (aunque el partido se terminó 0-0) puede dormirse solo.
shadowkitty56 el gusto por un determinado deporte es algo personal es como el gusto por un determinado tipo de música o los colores no hay nada escrito es algo personal ningún deporte es mejor ni peor que el otro solo es cuestión de gustos por eso es una estupidez lo que decís otro disparate que decís que tu deporte mal llamado "football" es mejor al verdadero football porque los que los practican son más altos y más desarrollados físicamente otra idiotez cada deporte tiene sus requisitos físicos de acuerdo al deporte en el verdadero football no es necesario ser muy alto al contrario ser muy alto sería un problema porque restaría velocidad y agilidad por eso una persona de baja estatura lo puede practicar sin ningún problema además los mejores jugadores de todos los tiempos máximo llegaban a los 1.70 el Maradona Messi pele tampoco un jugador del verdadero football puede tener un cuerpo muy desarrollado porque eso quitaria velocidad y agilidad como es un deporte donde se corre mucho no pueden tener ese tipo de físico lo mismo con deportes como la gimnasia olímpica no pueden tener altura elevada les resta agilidad por eso son todos super bajitos en el caso del baloncesto si es fundamental que los que lo practican sean de mucha altura por que así lo requiere ese deporte los que corren carreras de 100 metros por ejemplo son gente super desarrolladas físicamente en cambio los que corren carreras de grandes distancias no son super flaquitos casi desnutridos los tenistas no pueden tener físicos de físico culturistas porque le restarían velocidad y así cada deporte tiene su característica física burra cada estupidez que decís ridicula
Regarding that adding on tax afterwards, that's actually called GST (General Sales Tax). Many places elsewhere would have VAT (Value Added Tax), included in the item. However, GST might work out to less tax, as it's on all the items together, whereas VAT is on each individual item. ---- Many foreigners who visit the USA say that it's very isolated and money orientated. --- Many Americans are quick to want to run to court to sue someone. That's unlike many other places.

Molestar (in Spanish "to bother or pester") is not the same as molest (in English " to sexually assault or abuse"). So when in 5th grade, my teacher mentioned that a parent called the cops on a teacher for molesting their child, I responded with "What a cry baby."
Later, at a parent teacher meeting, the definition of "molest" was explained to me.
That's a funny example of what an impact in meaning similar words in different languages can convey. I have to wonder what "molesting", in the English sense, translated into Spanish, would be. I can't think of one..
+rhadames asenjo morbosear, violar, acosar sexualmente.
Gracias, John. Creo que "acosar" seria la mas aproximada traduccion... En mi pais, Rep. Dominicana, "morbosear" significa ver o meterse en cosas que no son apropiadas para gente agena a la situacion.. Violar es "rape".
In Victoria English the verb "to molest" did use to mean "to bother or pester," of course it's now an archaic definition and if used now-a-days it has a lustrous meaning with it.
+Decorum Platinum cool. thanks
We're from Colombia and no one warned us that it's OK to go out in public in pajamas. Gotta love walmart
Isabella Zafra
Did you go out in your PJs to Walmart too?
Ugh but I HATE that, like people do go to Walmart or the gas station in their PJs, especially if it’s late, but it still seems kinda trashy to a lot of people lol
Technically it's not, but that's Walmart for you.
If I could live my life in sweats and a hoody I would 😂

10th weird thing in America:
"Was that a firework or a gunshot?"
It depends on the month and the neighborhood. Just keep your head down because it's safer that way. Signed your friendly american.
If it's near a school it's definitely a gunshot
Or a gas station.
Oh yeah
Extremely insane hardcore makes you wanna blow your brains out it's so hard difficulty: It's the 4th of July.
In California almost every street name is in Spanish (and lots of neighborhoods) and than you have to learn how to MISPRONOUNCE your own language so people here understand directions.
agreed on that! Three years of living in LA.
Oviedo = ohVEEdoh instead of OhveeAYdoh
Spanish people have to learn how mispronouce English words, so it's only fair.
The same thing happens in New Zealand... I struggle to mispronounce my native language so that white people can understand me... in Maori we also roll our R’s and our vowel sounds are the same as Spanish.. so I feel your pain
How do you pronounce the "J" in jalapeño. It makes the "j" sound not the "h" sound.
Those free refills! When I traveled to the US on a Holliday and someone went and poured me more soda without asking I freaked out internally...Even when my friend explained that refills were something common and free I kept asking him nervously " Are you sure they're free? But are you sure... But are you sure SURE? "
dianateabag yeaaaah, but 30min later you even refill one more time before you leave the place.
dianateabag the joys of capitalism
dianateabag lol
I'd probably just walk up to the counter and pay for a second one LOL. That is just so wrong.
dianateabag I experienced the opposite. My parents are Puerto Rican but we had to move to the US when I was a baby, so I'm accustomed to free refills. Every time I visit Puerto Rico, I always forget you usually have to pay for a refill
My favorite experience as an American is to hear some sort of blast or explosion at two in the morning and not be able to tell if the noise was a gun or fireworks.
Bonus points: only one of those things are illegal in your state, and it's not the gun.
Live2Create, this is the best American joke I've seen
This actually happened to me where I used to live. I'd randomly hear an explosion type sound and I'd wonder if it was a gun or fireworks bc where I used to live there would be a bunch of crime
This is so relatable because sometimes I hear fireworks sound off at 2am and some nights I hear gunshots. One night, a guy got shot in the head a few blocks from my house.
In America we are allowed to protect ourselves....a very important right for any human being.
Extra bonus: 4th of July or new years
The tax thing actually broke my little heart once. I was little and I was in Miami for my holidays, and I only had like 30 dollars. Magically I found a pair of shoes that were like 29.00 and I was so happy that I had enough money to buy them. But when I tried... :c
This literally made me cry
Bruh when I was little I was a dollar short due to tax but since I was a Latina getting Ecuadorian Food, they let me just forget it which I remember to this day cause they actually said,” Latinas stick together”
Caro Vásquez ikr

Caro Vásquez awww! Pobrecita! Que triste!
Oh God, I lived in the U.S. for almost a year and when I firt got there, was like 'DUDE! why don'tyou just add the tax to the price? so I can know how much I actually need to pay for your damn burger!' and festive days, like wtf! I'm from Chile so if you're latino, you get me, for example, in my country November 1st is festive, and if this year Nov 1st is wednesday, you get monday and tuesday festive just because! and did you know that in the U.S. after a woman gives birth to a baby she has a month off work? that's so freaking weird! in Chile you get SIX MONTHS!
Maybe these are reasons why Chile is a shitty 'country' that no one cares about. Notice how no one's writing about how unique/special/weird/crazy...etc, things are in Chile? It 'cause no one gives a rat's ass.
And taxes are purposefully separate here; it's how we know how much the government is stealing from us every time we buy something. We can easily tell when it tries to sneakily raise taxes, as all governments are wont to do. Knowing is better than "ignorance is bliss." (Maybe the math, uh...6, or 8, per cent is too hard for you.)
South America is essentially a cesspool, with very few bright objects (ie., havens from crushing poverty, primarily occupied by corrupt politicians and 'rich' foreigners).
And, oh... Btw - it's easy to get six months off when you're not working to start with. Or if you are, it's at a pitifully meager rate of pay. Yeah, ain't that great...
Okay - must be time for your siesta now, "Dude." After which, you can enjoy your extended 'fiesta'... (What a joke...)
Josie Cranfill in Chile, when a woman is pregnant she gets paid, and there's a law that says employer can't fire the woman for at least a year so that's a good thing :D and San Pedro is a gorgeous place!! I went during this last summer and I currently live in Valparaìso, at the sea level and when I went it was so hard to get used to the height xD
Who is they? Chile is not a shitty country! you don't even know how life is here! and we know how much is our taxes but I just find it more practical when it's included, it's just my opinion, I never ment to hurt your feelings and I will not stand someone talking bad stuff about my country, which btw you know NOTHING about.
wtf dude , chile isn't the greatest country in the world but at least I can go to a pub and not been shot, for some crazy guy

As a natural born U.S. citizen I can confirm that everything she just said is 100% accurate.

+highoffdank you and 400,000,000 others were born in the U.S.? does it mean something.. nope... after all USA is a country by immigrants for immigrants...
By the Way, bruce willis was born abroad, the same as many unitedstatians, to me specifying you were born in mainland USA(which is nothing special in iteself) might mean you are trying to get attention, or you have insecurities about your own citizenship...
Being born in a land and becoming a citizen of said land, is not as powerful as having blood which has been living in that land for hundreds or thousands of years.
You sound so angry that I said that, like, chill. stephan walliser "trying to get attention", you're just mad for no reason though. I am natural born in the U.S. why are you mad about that? It's the U.S. LAW.

Here in Germany, the taxes are already on actual price so you never here “plus tax” because it was always on, and things here are still cheaper😂
And you europeans build in gratuity. That blows my mind.
Same in Moldova, though obviously it's not as good as in Germany 😑
Can someone take to Germany? XD
I’m Colombian, here we do the same as in the rest of Latin and Central America, I lived in Germany and never had an issue with paying stuff in Europe then I worked for an US company and the typical question was “ and how much would it be after taxes?” That blew my mind bc I have never live in the USA and I was talking to people all over the states so I didn’t know about “their” exact tax percentage.
Lol when she said “I’m from Maryland where are u from” “I’m from Arkansas” caught me off guard because I’m from Arkansas and no one ever talks about us 😂
That's not true, I heard a pilot once tell us we were flying over Arkansas over the P.A. (just busting your balls, Landen)

Just one thing : usa is not the whole América
joel Ferguson
From Canada to Brazil. That's America. North, Central and South. Then in North America there is Canada, USA and Mexico.
Well lately I been forced to identify by race and not nationality. And if I don't it means I'm not proud of my roots because somehow saying I'm Mexican/Dominican and or Puerto Rican or whatever is not enough. Apparently being mix with European, native and Africans means you're black because the Europeans kill your people (which I guess race is based on principle and not fact) and natives were kill so that leaves black which I always feel it will get funny looks since I'm pale as hell. So yes the US obsession with identifying by race and not nationality makes my head hurt.
Why can't you identify as a native again? I mean, native americans still live.
Visiting a different state is like visiting another country

When you ask for a small they give you a large cup. Really large
Tauane Tome
bullshit. I got a small soda from a McDonald's drive through last week. It was smaller than a coffee cup. You only get giant drinks and giant meals when you order them in a large size..
If you want lunacy and cup size, go to any coffee shop especially Starbucks, because if you ask for a tall you'll get a small, if you ask for a large lot of times if they don't scratch their heads in front of you they'll give you a best what's actually a medium, so we're even then you have to watch how you asked for it, because in most coffee shops I've been to, In order to get an outright large, you have to ask for like a venti or a grande. Thankfully, unless you happen to buy one of their special mugs or their big old beer stein size containers, you won't actually get a large oh, you'll really get what would only be about up to 25 oz, give or take
@@jamesjfisk4968 if you ask for a medium or a large at most McDonald's you get a medium or large, and I've never been to a McDonald's where they actually will give you more than about 10 oz of coffee in a single container. So whichever McDonald's you went to that you got supposed medium drink that was smaller than the coffee, that wasn't the McDonald's that was the person messing up who handed you the cup. Most Smalls unless you go child size at McDonald's, are at least 12 to 16 oz, while they're mediums are up to about 25 or so ounces and their large is our about 30 Oz if not up to 35 ounces even today.

That's why we're such an angry country. Because we get like 5 minutes of vacation time.
And the weather is crap. 2017 two hurricanes Harvey and Irma. The west coast is on fire while the east coast is in a deep freeze, what is this!!!
Honestly those vacation days shock me dude
In France we actually have a few days off and for weeks of paid vacation, if I'm not mistaken
The topic comes up here quite a bit. The problem is that the ones over here that want our vacation days to line up more with what other countries have are very seldom the ones that have the authority to make that change.

So that it seems cheaper to the customer and they buy more stuff. Kind of like 4.99 vs 5 dollars. You know it's basically five dollars but the mind perceives it as a cheaper price.

INACTIVE CHANNEL my fellow Dominican I been here for 4 months I everyday I am mind blown with the weirdness of this country and I used to think DR was fucked
But some how DR is one the kidnapped countries around the world but ok
The whole crime thing is largely a myth. Yes we do have crimes, but it is largely exaggerated of how many. It just that they get feature on the news a lot more. It is because of media Bias that the myth begun
Lived 18 years in an average area in US and never experienced a crime and have barely heard of anyone's who gotten even car robbed.

Apparently in the USA American kids recite the Pledge of Allegiance every day? Is this true?
Also, portion sizes. The US small is a British large or extra large. Why do you need a milkshake the size of your head?
Yes, I live in America for about 2 years, and at school, we recite it all of the days. It's so strange.
+EvieH Lol Totally true. Maybe that explains the obesity public health issue here
Yup! All of this is true.
We do say it everyday. I've memorized it, annnd hoW CAN YOU NOT HAVE A MILKSHAKE THE SIZE OF YOUR HEAD-
Could someone please tell me what does the Pledge of Allegiance say? I'm just curious :o
The state thing really isn’t weird when you remember that the country is massive. Some of our states are bigger than some entire countries. The same way you’d have a lot to talk about with someone from Venezuela is the same way most people have with their states.
I'm Brazilian and I understand that completely. If I'm from São Paulo and you are from Bahia, we have very little in common.
And some states are the size of the entire continent of Europe.
Vacation days? What are those?
Allison Leigh Says Its a fantasy, a myth🤣
Ok this is one crazy thing about America. I was used to have nice and real lunch like rice, salad and chicken, but here people get grilled cheese sandwich for lunch and they are totally fine with it!!! WTF I mean... If you do that in Venezuela people would think that you have no money to buy decent food Lol
i love grilled cheese! There are actually grilled cheese restaurants here where you can get all kinds of grilled cheese sandwiches!
Honestly it would be the opposite, at least now...
A lot of people don't have money to buy decent food. Don't be an asshole and hate on the poor...
Roberto Villasmil Its because Americans are always in a hurry so when they buy lunch they buy simplest food that can be eaten in a short amount of time
Roberto Villasmil HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, I couldn't agree more 😂😂😂
When I moved to America, the first day of class, they all started saying the pledge of allegiance all at once and I was very scared. I remember thinking "How do they all know the words and when to say them? When did they learn this?"
soraggedyann lol

Which State?

Typically, the pledge is something taught to first graders. Depending on the State, school system, and sometimes even individual classrooms dictates how often and for how long a student may be prompted to recite it ... usually not beyond Elementary School. It's a discipline thing, not an indoctrination tool.
It isn't universal. Some schools have stopped doing it altogether. The phrase "Under God" was added to it in the 50's, and was always controversial. Leading to many states to ban it due to the conflict in separating church and state. In my State of Georgia for example, used to require students to stand to recite the Lord's prayer until they were successfully sued ... as a result, they stopped requiring students to recite the pledge as well. This was over 30 years ago.
I don't say the pledge, I feel like I'm in a cult, and I'm born and raised in America lmao
In California, people say "like" and "literally" every two seconds.

For reals people in Latin America are not easily offended like Americans from the US
That's true, and I'm not generalizing because that's incorrect, but many people in United States get so offended, when some of them are the ones that actually try to offend Latin America people, only saying the facts.
Paola Lizaola
LOL that's hilarious!
JamesJ Fisk, If you actually read my comment properly, I said that I was not generalizing, and yes, -i know that a lot of Latinos offend americans too, but you know, why can't we have a pacific relationship?
You can thank california and new york for us being offended at everything. O arizona bay, how I long for thee!
true for us Europeans too.... its like, you dont know what to say and what is a joke anymore when speaking to an American... everybody gets so triggered over anything....everything is either racist (even when it has nothing to do with race, but americans dont know what is race, what is ethnicity and what is a nationality anymore), sexist (even though it is totally clear it was a joke) or ignorant (when they want to force their opinions on you but you heard them and still decide to think the same way)
I heard someone say that what Americans call "football" should be called "handegg," because you hardly play with your feet, and the thing you handle doesn't look like a ball.

Comparing with many countries in the world US (specially central area , Montana , Idaho , Wyoming , Nebraska North Dakota , South Dakota , Iowa ) got the worst public transportation. Some areas does not have anything at all. Anyone agree ? No wonder all the foreigners end up in NYC and LA.
No that is completey false.You're nameing midwest states witch is were i live there is no problem with public transportation here or anywere in America just the people who use it lol
I see traffic here in California sometimes.
Jason Sipe are you out of your mind. I have lived in midwest. You must have your own car. Do you have buses or trains at 9.45 pm at night ? NO. except greyhound buses. when you go to France , Germany , Italy, ... They have public transportation at least till 11 pm or probably 24 hours. NOT IN US. In California there are some buses and trains but only in big cities that runs 24 hours. that was my point. US public transportation is so behind comparing with European countries. or even with Canada.
i´ve been in SD a couple of times, and have seen few buses, but people don´t use them. Most of the people uses a car, i think it depends on the population and how tourist the place is. for example in Cancun you can get a bus 24/7
Santiago Delgadillo Centeno but people from Europe and Latin America come to US and feel stranded when they visit mid west ( central part of US) . They expect better public transportation or more buses and trains. Even for US citizens it is hard when your car breaks down and you only have few buses that go in your area. California and New York state are some what better because there are many people who take public transportation. but comparing is Europe specially UK and Japan, US public transportation is so far behind.
Being from Puerto Rico (and therefore influenced by the USA in so many aspects) WHY THE TAX IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE PRICE TAG I hate that when I go to buy something I must have at least $5 extra to cover the f*cking tax.
Damn what’s the sales tax in PR? It’s 7 percent in Indiana.
@@yaboibradautry I exaggerated a bit. In PR right now it is at 11.5%. It's just kinda annoying that if something is priced for $10 and I have exactly $10 in my wallet then I can't buy it because I'll have to pay around $1.15 extra for the taxes. It would be much better if the price included the taxes so I can know right from the beginning exactly how much I'm gonna pay.

O el tener 30 sabores de papitas Lays o de yoghurt. LOL. O el darte cuenta que decirle cholo, negro, chino, etc a una persona está considero como algo super ofensivo. ;)
+Andrea Blacker Hey, my 'buelita's nickname was "Prieta." Try to explain that to friends who come over to play. Had a Tia "Cuerva," too, and a neighbor named "Morena." In fact, trying to explain Spanish nicknames to anyone is a problem. They don't understand that there might be five Jose Fernandez's around, so one is "Bobo/Bobes," another "Manzanas," "Carabino," and even "Porkchops," (pronounced Porchappas, of course). Only one is "Jose." I guess he got here first? lol
I'm from Mexico, and when I came here I never knew how much I could buy with confidence. Because in Mexico the price of everything already includes the taxes, so you know what you're gonna pay. U see something on the shelf, and the price in there is exactly what you are going to pay. Thank God I'm used to it now, and here where I live, some Mexican stores are doing that too. Which is nice.

1. The space between the floor and the toilet door is too fucking HUGEEEEEEEEEE.
2. Definition of handicapped in the US: not owning a car.
3. The imperial system
4. Everyone is friendly. It's a good thing of course but are they actually friendly or are they just faking it?
5. Food portions are definitely bigger
6. How are you is not a question but a greeting
7. The politics here are pretty complicated
8. Despite being aware of all the problems, Americans are still very patriotic (which is a good thing I guess)
The thing about states is the same as countries in Latin America. If you meet an Argentinian you'll be like: oh hi. If you meet another Venezuelan... This happens because the US is DAMN BIG, and each state is like a mini country. Same happens in Brazil (My state is as big as France)
ruanfernando Since when is Brazil a state? I thought it was a country. Were you verbally shifting gears without using the clutch, so to speak?
Daniel Fronc dumbass, he was saying that Brazil is similar to the US, namely, it is also a large country whose states are sometimes as large as many European countries
Willy et scientia How can it have states when it's not even named the United States of Brazil? You sure you know whaf you 're talking about ?
Daniel Fronc whaaaat? I live here, we have 26 states plus the Distrito Federal (our version of the Washington D.C.)
Daniel Fronc and besides that, Brazil's official name used indeed to be US of Brazil, more than a century ago

where I'm from, prices are after taxes. therefore, if you have 10, and your burger is 9.99, then you have 0.01 too much.
Wow that’s really nice cause where I am if your burger is 9.99 and you have 10 your 59 cents short...... cause we have 6% tax that’s not included in the prices 🎉
You prolly don't have a sales tax then.
You cannot drink on the streets in most states!! WHAT! How do you have picnics in the park without wine? or sangria? Also, not napping in public! What? what if I wanna take a nap on the grass, or a tiny refresher in a club? nope, they kick you out.... they're not friends of the siesta. Also, people have an aversion to public transportation that I cannot fathom. "You're takin g the bus?! why!" Cause I don't have a car and it takes me where I wanna go, and it's the prettiest bus I've ever been in.... also the closest thing is 6 km away!" Anyway.... yes, lots of tiny things.

I'm an international student in the US (from the Bahamas 🇧🇸🇧🇸🇧🇸) and one thing that always startles me is how FREAKING LARGE THE FOOD PORTIONS HERE ARE. Like unless you're an athlete, have a crazy metabolism, or an eating problem I don't understand how you can possibly finish the meals. Also it's so weird how no one greets anyone in public. No "good day/morning/afternoon/evening/night" or "yes/no ma'am/sir". And they tend to be insulted when you show them respect like that, and I feel awkward/insulted when they don't say it back.
In the big cities it's like that. Smaller cities and towns in America are much better
I have a friend who moved to my state from Quebec 2 years ago, and she's still doesn't get the pledge of allegiance thing XD
Also, states are extremely important. So is region though. "Wait, you're from New England too?! YES LET US TALK ABOUT HOW SHITTY THE WEATHER IS AND GET INTO A FIGHT OVER YANKEES V. REDSOX"
Yeah don’t forgot bonding over mutual sports rivals. I met some guys from the Bronx in Mexico a couple years ago and every time I saw them I was like “f*ck the Red Sox,” and they’d reciprocate.

Yo tenia 19 años y estaba con mi familia en un walmart comprando mariqueras para comer en el hotel. Resulta que la costumbre que siempre he tenido es la de recoger las cosas del carrito y ponerselas al señor de la caja para que mi papa o mi mama no se esten agachando rapido ni nada. Bueno, resulta que mi papá se compró su respectivo 6-pack de bud-cacaweisser y yo la pongo del carrito a la vaina para pagar y el panameño-costaricense-puertoriqueño-cubano me pide el aidi (ID) y yo le digo que: pa que? si yo no voy a pagar porque tengo 19 años, eso es de mi papá, y el bicho me dice que eso es como si mi papá me diera un permiso subconciente de beber. Y yo ay que mariquera, aja y entonces?, la vaina era que mi papá tenía que recoger ese 6-pack devolverlo, buscar otro y pagarlo el sin que yo lo tocara. La vaina fue asi como sieeeeej majomenoooo? y yo bueh.. murica.

Political Correctness, seriously. When I lived in El Salvador people would get nicknames based on their skin tone, and it was an affectional thing and not an offensive one.
El Salvador all the way! XD but yess the nickname thing is so tru since im so light skinned I get called Blanco all the time XD
+JA AR is very common in Mexico too, La guera, El negro, El gordo, La flaca jajajajaja a nadie le ofende, hasta te lo dicen tus papás con amor ;)
+Melissa Barrera Exactly, in El Salvador they would even have several ways to call some one who was white and someone who had darker skin. Names like Chele leche, Chele Yuca, El Chino, and it wasn't meant to offend anyone, but in the US you say something like that and they'll call you a racist.
+Analise C .. In my native Dominican Republic, ever since I can remember, the kids used to call me "ojo e gato", or simply, "Gato". ,, Sometimes, "rubito", or "blanquito". Never took it to be an insult. It was just people's way of referring to anyone with a distinctive quality which befitted his/her looks or demeanor... never said as mockery, I don't think.
Growing up with Mexican parents and Latino siblings I personally wondered why they would call people those names, and to this day it disturbs me a lot. Even if meant with a good hearts, those people got that nickname most likely because of some negative thing they did or negative thing about them. I am extremely grateful that here in America we usually don't have it like in those countries. (With my friends I use terms like Madame, sir, mister, missus, ma'am, Doctor, president, and lady followed my their first or last name, this is how it should be done).
That saran wrap shit that it doesn't stick really fucked me up when I went to the states for the first time.."Americans make everything so convenient, why did they fuck this up? Why the hell doesn't this stick!?"
Pablo Díaz apparently the trick is that it's not supposed to stick to anything else.. but it's supposed to stick to itself. Weird, i know! But it works if you can figure it out
Pablo Díaz im american and i thought the same thing!
We grew up saying "no thank you" when you go to someone's house and they offer you something to eat. In our country the person will insist until you say ok. Here, you say "no thank you" and it's over! What happened to the polite banter back and forth!?
Your comment doesn't make sense, which counties are you talking about
+Alec Joseph It makes perfect sense. "I just made some [whatever; say cookies]." "No, thank you." "Oh, yes; you must have some." "I really shouldn't. I'm on a diet." "But you're so thin! It's cold out. You need your strength!" "Well...if you insist."
An real insult? You don't offer someone a cup of coffee and a bocadilla when they walk past your house and you're pulling weeds or otherwise occupied with something. Work is no excuse not to socialize. You can work after they leave, at midnight if necessary.
Worst insult that's in your face . . . that means you don't recognize their existence or right to live on the same planet as you? Don't offer them a cup of coffee. Seriously (sort of). Someone drops in and you smile, hug, chat for a while, but the whole time they're there, you don't put that coffee pot on? Or even worse, you just made fresh coffee and don't pour some? It means they're dead to you. Just leave and never come back.
+Melatina77 After 35 years living here, my mother still doesn't accept that "American quirk." I had one poor classmate go home nauseous from overeating (having already eaten before coming to my home). My mother didn't understand it wasn't polite banter - she really did mean "No."
Chatoyancify My grandmother was Italian and she didn't do that little ritual that the Spanish side of the family did. My mother would be insulted and hurt if you didn't eat her food. I think she wanted to feed everyone! I would see it in her face how happy she was when everyone was eating, talking and having a good time. We used to joke that she lived in the kitchen.
+Melatina77 Well because it gets annoying if they are consistently offering you something.

+Lucio Coudannes The country is also called America.
Chestnut Bowl You're right.
+Lucho AMVs, en realidad no es así, América no es el nombre de USA (united states "OF" America), los historiadores, politólogos etc.. suelen decir: que como USA fue la primer región del continente Americano en independizarse, las 13 colonias hicieron una unión de las partes que controlaban en ese entonces llamándole "Estados" unidos "de" América, en realidad cuando decidan separarse por ejemplo texas, y otros estados de USA, dejaran de ser una unión como tal, llamándose a cada estado por su propio nombre, Imagínate que Guatemala hasta Costa Rica fueron también una unión de estados, cada país pequeño es un estado, excepto los grandes como brasil y mexico, creo que también incluye a Argentina.por lo tanto si toda la región se uniera seria llamado también (Estados Unidos "de América", por supuesto desde mexico hasta argentina) y si me decís que debería llamarse Estados unidos de Latino América, no estas mal, pero entonces USA debería llamarse (Estados unidos de Anglo-América). Estudien y no sean dogmáticos.

Because there are many duferent religions here.
I sympathize with you, Ana... The political and economic situation in Venezuela is sad and tragic. It hurts that a potentially wealthy nation is starving its citizens. I feel for its children, especially... But yes, Xmas time in Latin nations like Venezuela and the Dominican Rep. (were I'm from), is a real blast compared to the boring, gloomy "celebration" in the US. Good reason I try to travel there whenever I can. We're doing well in DR. We have plenty of affordable food and drinks. Someday your nation will, too...

Blame SJWs
I hate it too! I remember when I was young we would just hunt for food in woods, then steal it from one another, then steal other people's wives, then kill their kids.Man, those were the days! Now because of those PC SJW's we gotta like 'watch out for others' and like 'not hurt people intentionally'. Pff, I miss the good ol' days.
How can you not love saying ?
“Órale mi negra!”
Why the fuck would you hate political correctness? It's not about other people being easily offended, it's about you keeping your prejudiced opinions to yourself. Feel free to call your friends whatever you want out of love and friendship, but don't go up to a black stranger and call him a "ni**er" or an effeminate male stranger and call him a "fa**ot". Using those words to describe strangers shows that you don't respect a part of their being. RESPECT. No one needs to know about your messed up prejudices... keep them to yourself and your prejudiced circle of friends.
mariano pesa Coward.
One thing that is subconsciously drilled into American minds from the time you're a kid is that USA is the best country in the world. People are very patriotic (for different reasons, but some don't even know why) but very ethnocentric. They think that the stereotypes in movies and the media define people of other cultures. For example, most people in US think that Mexicans are only good cooks, or that taco bell is Mexican food. They call everything "taco". taco this, taco that. But don't even know what a real taco is. They love the restaurants, but they don't love Mexican people. They are offended that many phone menus have a Spanish option, and will stare horribly in public if you are speaking Spanish in the open. They will tell you to speak English without shame, even though it is not the official national language.
MinnieTyko true, some are like this, but not everyone. A lot of Americans do believe that we're the best country in the world, partially because a lot of freedom laws we have, and the Pursuit of Happiness and all that. Personally I don't think there is a 'best' of anything, but some countries are better than others (when it comes to economy, living situations, etc.) at just living life. And no, not all Americans think that about Mexicans. I've personally always hated American tacos and American-Mexican food. I'd rather have the original, homemade version. No one gets offended by someone speaking another language (maybe a few close-minded people), but I agree some people do stare. I don't personally care, as long as you're a nice person. Many Americans (including myself), try to learn a few words and phrases in the Spanish language to have a conversation with someone, or to get around. And lots of people are just interested as to what people are talking about, and want to know more about the language. I'll take the time here to apologize for the rude people you're talking about. So please, next time, at least don't categorize over 300,000,000 people into one group by your personal experiences.
We stare horribly when people speak other languages? I would spend my entire life "staring horribly" if that were true. I hear people speaking Spanish, Creole, Russian, Korean, Chinese etc every single day. Nobody cares about that. It's just part of living in America.
English may not be the "official" language, but the United States was born from English culture. The original 13 colonies were not subjects of spain, but England. Eventually we grew tired of English rule, so what makes you think we want to be colonized by Mexico?
You sure generalize a lot about Americans, for somebody who doesn't like being generalized about. How many states have you been to, one? "Most people is US" do NOT call everything taco, and only a tiny handful in viral videos get mad about Spanish.
And we haven’t forgotten Taco Bell’s slogan from the 90s and early 00s... Yo quiero Taco Bell. Taco Bell is the McDonalds of Mexican food.
Freaking snow and freezes. WTF does someone from Puerto Rico know about that shit? I almost lost my mind the first time I found frost on my car.
PenguinRegina We had snow in late April. The joys of Minnesota.
You don't have to be from another country to get freaked out by a little dab'll of snow or frost on your car, because some of my relatives who like me are originally from Illinois, which is almost in the center of the country, they moved to like Florida, and one of their more recent trips back to our home area, they had been around the tropical weather of Florida so much that they actually we're surprised that they forgot how cold it gets between November and March north of the Ohio river, which cuts between Kentucky and Indiana.
In the heartland of America especially over the last decade, we have had multiple situations where it has snowed all the way into middle of May, even as early as the middle of October. Frankly, if snow happens to be your Achilles heel, then I suggest only coming into the heartland between June and August, and outside of those months just to be safe, I suggest you stay away from Kansas and Tuesday South of Tennessee, though Alabama and rest of the South have recently enough experienced their own snowmageddon as a manner of speaking
snow and freezes you say...
*laughs in russian*
I feel like states are big deal for Mexicans too. It's always one of the opener sentences when my mom meets someone new. And if they're from the same state that she's from she gets all excited and tells them what town she's from and then they always end up talking about the food from there.
And if two Mexicans are from different states they'll start comparing each other's food (what's up with food??). It's always like
"The mole from Michoacan is so good. I don't like the mole from Puebla but I still make it for my husband."
"How do you make your tamales?
"What's that one salsa you guys make?".
Maybe it's just a way for Mexicans in the US to feel nostalgic about where they're from. I wonder if it's the same in Mexico.
Not just in US, I live in Mexico and that happens here. We're like: I prefer the way veracruzanos make the tacos de cochinita pivil and the the other dude says: no, dude, Meridas's tacos de cochinita are wayyyy better bc they are the original....
in Mexico you don't really have to ask which state they're from. it becomes quite clear after 4 seconds of conversation.
Lmbo so true!! arriba michoacan y Guerrero!
+Lauregui Definitely true. Even more so when you're from a state that is not really well represented where you live. Like I'm a Sinaloense in California, and when I meet another Sinaloense it is like instant familia. Everyone around here is from Michoacan or Guadalajara, so it makes some difference.
+Lauregui The food thing is from everywhere, except maybe the "cold" European countries. French discuss the foods and wines from Provence vs. Paris; in Spain, paella and sausages are a constant discussion; ask any Italian about Milanese vs. Sicilian food, and five conversations break out.
Meantime, in the U.S., just mention the word "barbecue" to someone from Missouri (Kansas City Smoke), Texas (thin, long-basted sauce), South Carolina (the Mustard Belt), North Carolina (the Vinegar Belt), or places like Nebraska, where they buy sugary tomato sauce in a bottle. Let the battle ensue about the proper way to make BBQ sauce. Even cities are different within the states, such as Memphis vs. Nashville. Don't even start with chili! Food can be a conversation-starter or one that causes a full-blown war here. lmao
The love of meatloaf with ketchup, and the looks you get when you first say "I have never had meatloaf and ketchup."
BTW I have tried it, and I liked the meatloaf and I like ketchup but together I do not like together.
Also Joanna please never stop doing these, I love them and you.
THEY SELL GUNS AT WALMART!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Plus if you want to buy a gun at Walmart you still have to follow all the laws and regulations before you can get a gun.
That is awesome.
They're hunting rifles. And they're cheap and easily worn down
It's so fucked up. I never even saw a gun in my life until I visited America.
not in california
You think thats harsh? Here in Korea ppl have like one sick day a year lol and vacation is unheard unless you work at a school.
+Cindy Ortega That was my first thought. South Koreans have it much worse because as a shaming culture not overworking is socially frowned upon.
Chatoyancify Yes, if the boss asks you to do something even if it's outside work hours or your job description and you don't do it you will be looked as a lazy irresponsible employee.
You're from korea and your name is: Cindy Ortega? thats awesome!
lol no I just work here
Speed Limits.a I spend more time looking at the speedometer than the road. And what about the places where it goes to 35 mph from 70? And of course there is a cop waiting for you.
+Cristobal Hernandez I've paid so many speeding tickets... :(
+Cristobal Hernandez YESSSSS ....she missed this one and for me it's the biggest one. I never look at the speedometer in Venezuela unless I feel the car is about to take off.
+Joanna Hausmann Venezuela, venezuela, venezuela!!! jajajaja a mi tambien me han gozado los Chips aqui en California!!
+Cristobal Hernandez +Joanna Hausmann I call them souvenirs already.
+Joanna Hausmann es gracioso como tratas de explicar que en USA hay que obedecer el semáforo y el gringo no se lo cree y piensa que son solo "vainas tuyas"
Joanna, the fucking best videos evaaa!!
+Pedro H. Ribeiro :)!!
+Joanna Hausmann You answered me, I can die now :D
NO PLEASE DONT DIE!
+Joanna Hausmann LA PUNTUALIDAD, si te dicen "nos vamos a reunir tipo chill en mi casa a las 8pm" a las 8 en punto debes llegar porque si no, te miran feo. En cambio en vzla esa misma reunión quiere decir a partir de las 10 pm.
LAS FIESTA O MATRIMONIOS. en USA un Matrimonio es de 5 a 10pm ; y cuando son las 10 en punto chao todo el mundo para afuera que la fiesta se acabó; o si no hasta la policía puede llegar. En Venezuela ese mismo Matrimonio, la gente llega luego de las 7 y allí rumbean hasta que la caña se acabe, que es tipo 1, 2 am
RESTRICCIONES DIETÉTICAS. En especial Las "Soccer Moms". Es horrible hacer una fiesta infantil, porque te llega una mamá 2 semanas antes de la fiesta a decirte "My Son is Dairy-Free, Gluten-Free, No Sodas, No Sugar Candy, Alérgico al colorante Amarillo-5 y Rojo, etc..." . Entonces tu fiesta se vuelve una cosa super aburrida; solo para niños, con unos Cup-Cakes, chucherías 0 colorante y juguitos. De 3 a 6pm super puntal.
+Camila Thielen jajaja. El país de las reglas.
I love having no tax in Florida
I'm jealous
The pledge of allegiance was like the weirdest American thing i went through... The rest was survivable
Poor Americans are so overworked. No vacations, I feel sorry for you guys.
Yea man, I worked New Year's Day. 7:00 AM. Work doesn't stop here on holidays :(
That sucks. :( Man-of Tomorrow_7
That's why there are so many products to choose from; how else will they make up for the lack of choices of how to spend your personal life.
You sound Asian, and very very ignorant. Some European wages are still pretty high and since they don't have to be bothered with saving for healthcare and education, their purchasing power is even higher than the US average, even if they get paid a bit less.
imaprouduclabruin Go fuck yourself, I am very happy for you and your Asian-American community but I really don't care. And still, I very much doubt that the life expectancy can be higher there... Here is 84 years old.
Como comentario nadie me advirtió que: El fútbol americano es como religión. Nadie trabaja el día siguiente al juego final, es como un día feriado muy importante. A las novias y esposas se les llama football widows jeje. No sé si en todas las zonas es igual, pero nadie me advirtió que cuando dicen que hay una fiesta de adulto o de niños, que empieza a las cuatro y termina a las siete, todo el mundo llega puntual a las cuatro y se va a puntual a las siete. Nada de quedarse echando vaina hasta el amanecer. Como tercero y último puedo agregar que, al menos aquí en Connecticut, no sólo de vainita te ofrecen agua cuando visitas, sino que hay que llamar con anticipación para preguntar si puedes visitar. Nada de caer de sorpresa de repente
+Dorena R Atkins Mi primer juego de football, ví el tailgate de camino y eso si que es algo que todo tiene que estar perfecto. La ropa y hasta las cosas que traen tienen que tener el logo del equipo.
+Dorena R Atkins Muy cierto
+Dorena R Atkins Lo del football como religion va por region.
+Dorena R Atkins Que aburridos mano. Me gusta visitar a mis amigos con espontaneidad y ellos ami. No se por que habría problema en que me vinieran a visitar cuando quisiesen.
+Dorena R Atkins Aquí en países latinoamericanos te dicen que la fiesta empieza a las 4pm y llegas como mínimo dos horas después, y la fiesta termina por religión como después de la 1 am.
I was elementary school age when I came to this country. My mom wanted me to be in the American schools with me not knowing any English at all. What gets me and still does is when the teachers ( anyone in general ) spoke slower and louder to me thinking that will get me to understand better.
I don't live in USA, but, i'm concerned about the size of meals in there.... Or is it because I watch too much tv? lol Plates are huge, and sodas.... Jesus D:
It is not an illusion, portion sizes here are huge.
+Karis Garra Ikr? I live not just in America, but in TEXAS. Land of the super-sized barbeque everything. And not only are the sizes huge, but you feel pressure to eat it all because otherwise you're wasting money, even if the plate was obviously designed for a seven-and-a-half foot tall and 250 pound person and I'm like, 5'3" and 112 pounds. Seriously, your parents will get angry if you don't eat EVERYTHING on the plate. XD
(if you want an idea of our serving sizes, plates in restaurants here are 11-12 inches across usually. I know. Crazy.)
Tht is true, specially in Texas everything is huge
Like u can share u meal in 3 ppl bt the food is delicious
Is like u can never being in a diet nd dnt take me wrong im not fat I share lol bt tht is a way of living lol
+Karis Garra It is! They are ridiculously huge! They serve you the amount that two people would normally eat. And then you have to take it home... which I guess is not so bad xD 2x1!
Lol on average people eat the same amount of food. Tv lies a lot, please don't believe any of it
Why would stop lights be a suggestion 😟
In many other countries rules and routines aren't strictly enforced like in America... People are just taught the concept of watch the road, don't be focused on the phone, and note every other driver
That's because you get mugged at stop lights :)
Lucas Fernandez there not...😂
In Latin America they are. If there are just a few cars and there's a red light you pass. Especially if you know that there is no police
Funny. In the Philippines, us Filipinos are rude and racist to one another. And in the end, we're friends.
The people in the states were very nice to me. When I visited, I got so many compliments on my French accent even though I could barely speak English at the time 😅
Ok, when I moved to the U.S. from Bolivia a big downer was the drugs commercials on TV (drugs as in medicine). These commercials are on every channel and they are so depressing, first you are enjoying your favorite tv show and then you get bombarded with these tv ads and they just make you realize that one day you will have diabetes, or liver problems or simply you will just become old and you will be dependent of all that shit. And what I hate the most are the stupid names they have and to top it off the freaking side effects that makes you realize that the solution is worse than the disease.
This is by far one of the best Joanna rants episodes
0:35
Watch
See the detail
Repeat.
you, i like you
lmao yup.
yeah buddy
You there! What is your name? So I can properly show my gratification.
kevin p
Haha... Just don Corleone.
Root beer??!! What!? I didn’t know what it was, i thought my high school friends were drinking beer at school. 🤦🏼♀️
one thing you missed: BBQ
they pretty much destroy a perfect piece of meat with that sauce... here in Chile we eat meat WITHOUT ANYTHING (besides some salt)
now, i have to agree sometime the quality of the meat is destroyed by the sauce. But bbq is very different depending on where you go. For instance the whole selling point of Kansas City (my hometown and bbq capital of the midwest) is the sweet and spicy sauce. whereas in Texas you have a dry rub and no sauce. Sauce is what makes BBQ here. based on the sauce you can tell where it's from. Sorry if that was bit rambly :)
Ben O. my complain is that you put sauce on meat. Meat is supposed to be eaten with nothing else than the blood that comes with it and maybe some salt
Ignacio Arancibia It's apart of our culture. To us it really isn't that odd since we grew up with it...well...Some of us. I'm from New England so seafood is a bigger thing up here.
oh my gosh if you've ever had N. Carolina bbq you would know they truly destroy the meat....it's got vinegar all over it. It's horrible (to me). I am from further North so I prefer dark bbq sauce, but not a ton, just a lil.
A proper Northerner
Lo más raro es que cenan muy temprano
here in Colorado when I was a kid we would do it every day and that was the first thing that we would do before starting class.. I'm Mexican/German I still find a lot of things weird here in the US 😂
I live in Colorado too, at my school u have an option to do the pledge of allegiance.
AGGirl03 yeah it changed now but before you had to do it
AGGirl03 I live in Colorado and we have to do the pledge everyday or else we get in trouble.
😂😂😂
Wow you guys are lucky, at my school in California we have to do it every single day at school and if you don't, you get a 2 day suspension
There is this HUGE fight I had with all my teachers and friends because they said "North and South America are different continents" and MY WHOLE LIFE I've been taught that they are, indeed, the same continent called America.
North America and South America are two different continents, they are on two different tectonic plates.
Most countries are a people with businesses. America is a business with people.
but with a gun fetish.
Try Atlanta... thats all it is
something weird in america is when a new neightbour arrives, the old residents automaticly try to have a relationship with him, in USA is like, oh if you are my neightbour you are my friend, do you want coffe and cookies? :DDD im a good amerian person!!!!
and you are like, go away, i don know you. but at the same time you want that delicious cookies, then you take it and close the door in their face.
A Cat a 100% real cat, not a Dog oh i think they were just welocming you
yeah.. its... strange.
A Cat a 100% real cat, not a Dog how is it strange. It's welcoming. Dumb ass.
A Cat a 100% real cat, not a Dog is this really a thing in the US? I thought it was a myth invented by Hollywood
+Willy et scientia haha. it is real. we are just being friendly and are welcoming our new guests and neighbors
Nobody warned me about so many confederate flags in Missouri :(
I lived in Missouri my whole life never saw one
I lived in Missouri for three months and I saw a lot
nothing wrong with it
+Hugh jazz
yeah, except the confederate states no longer exist, so they are archaic wastes of space with no purpose.
+apollo moore And the slavery. Don't forget about the slavery.
About to get cheesy: This is my favorite Joanna Rants video. Not only because it's amazingly hilarious but it's also because this is the video that introduced me to Joanna and FLAMA. An American topic RUclips binge introduced me to one of my favorite RUclipsrs. I love this video!
as a marylander i am laughing my ass off
It was funny to me cause i'm from Arkansas. lol
SuperDudeElite24 same😂😂
SuperDudeElite24 what's up fellow Marylanders
Same. A bit sad though she didn't try it with the accent.
Joanna, eres lo único bueno que tiene este canal. Y de las pocas cosas buenas que tiene los Estados Unidos. Por favor, que alguien es diga que dejen de llamar Football a un deporte que juegan con las manos!! En serio, esta mierda tiene que parar ya!
El fútbol no es un deporte. Es hombres quien llevan los calzones de mujeres, calcetines altos como una chiquita en una escuela, y no pueden patear el balón sin caer en el culo, llorando como un bebe-'¡Ay, ay, señor árbitro, me duele la rodilla derecha, aunque nadie ha me tocada! ¡Quiero mi mama! " ¡Que flojo es!
PS-altura media de jugador de soccer-175 cm. altura media de un jugador del futbol americano: 193 cm y construido como un tanque. los gordos existen per no estan el estandar, y se llama football porque el quarterback patea el football y otros pueden tambien.
shadowkitty56 Me da igual la altura que tengan los deportistas. La altura no determina quién se queda con el nombre, de ser así los jugadores de baloncesto podrían robar el nombre del deporte que quisieran. Déjate de mierdas, dejad de llamar soccer al fútbol, y dejad de llamar fútbol a un deporte jugado con las manos.
YPG El fútbol, mi fútbol, se deriva su nombre de un hecho: se puede patear el football y usar los manos, mas como las versiones originales jugada antes de 1850. (Al tiempo las diferencias entre rugby, soccer, et mi fútbol no fueron enraizdos.) Es algo mucho más viejo que su definicíon.
También, en realidad, si hay un bruto quien ha te robado de su balón, no yo quisiera un perdedor bajo quien solamente puede patear o correr (por no hablar de sus mentiras al árbitro para ganar faltas) . No, quisiera un hombre real, alguien quien puede aplastar el rival por la fuerza. Ese hombre está bienvenido en mi cama en cualquier momento. El enano, con sus habilidades patéticas y su charloteo interminable de "estrategia" (aunque el partido se terminó 0-0) puede dormirse solo.
shadowkitty56 el gusto por un determinado deporte es algo personal es como el gusto por un determinado tipo de música o los colores no hay nada escrito es algo personal ningún deporte es mejor ni peor que el otro solo es cuestión de gustos por eso es una estupidez lo que decís otro disparate que decís que tu deporte mal llamado "football" es mejor al verdadero football porque los que los practican son más altos y más desarrollados físicamente otra idiotez cada deporte tiene sus requisitos físicos de acuerdo al deporte en el verdadero football no es necesario ser muy alto al contrario ser muy alto sería un problema porque restaría velocidad y agilidad por eso una persona de baja estatura lo puede practicar sin ningún problema además los mejores jugadores de todos los tiempos máximo llegaban a los 1.70 el Maradona Messi pele tampoco un jugador del verdadero football puede tener un cuerpo muy desarrollado porque eso quitaria velocidad y agilidad como es un deporte donde se corre mucho no pueden tener ese tipo de físico lo mismo con deportes como la gimnasia olímpica no pueden tener altura elevada les resta agilidad por eso son todos super bajitos en el caso del baloncesto si es fundamental que los que lo practican sean de mucha altura por que así lo requiere ese deporte los que corren carreras de 100 metros por ejemplo son gente super desarrolladas físicamente en cambio los que corren carreras de grandes distancias no son super flaquitos casi desnutridos los tenistas no pueden tener físicos de físico culturistas porque le restarían velocidad y así cada deporte tiene su característica física burra cada estupidez que decís ridicula
shadowkitty56 "mi fútbol" no sea ridículo...
You monster! Why would you ever choose cheddar over sea-salt caramel flavor?
Regarding that adding on tax afterwards, that's actually called GST (General Sales Tax). Many places elsewhere would have VAT (Value Added Tax), included in the item. However, GST might work out to less tax, as it's on all the items together, whereas VAT is on each individual item.

Many foreigners who visit the USA say that it's very isolated and money orientated.

Many Americans are quick to want to run to court to sue someone. That's unlike many other places.
