I’m sick of ppl like you making videos just straight up lying about America
you sound Hella pretentious and lowkey hella racist. You basically didnt visit the US, you visited specific spots and then generalized the rest.
You give so much false information you definitely dont know what your talking about
@@lesm3652 it’s just my opinion and my impression of the places I travelled in the US 😘
@mia.eklund94 that's fine but you can't generalize an entire country of of a few cities you have been to that would be like us coming to your country seeing the red light district and telling the world that's what your whole country is about or not even seeing your country and using history of the world wars to say that's what your country is because for us that don't go to your country and all we know is history then we are able to say this is how it is because that's all I've seen of it you can't use an opinion and say this is definitely how things are and say it's a fact
It's hard to give this video a pass though honesty and candidness are appreciated tact and thoughtfulness are important too. I did watch your positives video before I commented but it just made your comments here more puzzling. A lot of people recommend doing some homework before visiting a different country and I think it may have helped you here. The thing is I don't even disagree with all the conclusions of your observations but some of them come off as stuck up and uninformed. Saying its racist here is a big red flag, I don't shy away from political takes but get some nuance before you make such a statement. Segregation is also a loaded word, there are plenty of diverse communities rich, poor, and in-between. There are neighborhoods with homogeneous demographics but to throw around the word racism begs the question who, what, and where are you refering to? I challenge you to reverse your comments and picture how it would sound if someone made those statements about your country with little context, and a limited perspective. You'd get anything from eye rolls to actual hate. I believe most Americans love foreigners, but if you're going to swim in murky waters get acquainted with the fish.
There is only one point I’d like to make, and that’s about the “segregation.” The places you are talking about where there isn’t much variety of the races is not segregation, nor is it an economic issue (it can be though). Places like “Chinatown’s” “Little Italy’s” etc. are not the product of racism, but that of other cultures bringing in their customs and traditions to build a community. I can speak for everyone (at least I think) that we love these places because you can take part of your own culture without any problems. Americans and foreigners alike are proud and grateful places like this can exist in the US. This is coming from a first generation American. 🇺🇸
Oh yes we also loved Chinatown and Little Italy. That was not quite what I was referring to. But I do understand your point 😊
A few issues: -there are 1.2 MILLION homeless people in Germany. In the USA, only about 650,000. Europe has a higher population and therefore more homeless. -We are the most racially diverse country in the world, by a wide margin. Everyone wants to come here. It's pretty normal that people want to live among others to whom they can relate.....but you'll find a lot more racism in "red states" that like Trump. New York City is far from racist, San Francisco and Los Angeles are far from racist. -Expenses, our salaries are higher. Median household incomes: USA: 70k (63k euros) California: 90k (81k euros) Silicon Valley (my area where I grew up and still live): 153k (137k euros) Germany: about 50k (50,250 euros) So, that's your answer on how can we live with higher prices. They are higher because we have more buying power. I would imagine home prices are quite a bit higher here. Here in Silicon Valley, the median home price is 1.7 million dollars (1.5 million euros). So we are the more desirable place. Obesity, Germany is not much lower than California. Our rate in California is 27%, Germany 24%. Santa Clara County (Silicon Valley) is only 18%. Obesity is a good problem to have; it means your people have access to a lot of food and don't have to work physical jobs for a living. But individuals need to choose to exercise; in a free country, the government cannot force that upon them. Food quality....there are 13 restaurants in the USA that have achieved Three Michelin Stars (we are tied with Italy for 4th in the world). In Germany, only 10.
Our country is just as big as Europe where you have 8-9 different country's next to each other, with different languages, cultures, and customs. We have a "melting pot" of all those individual cultures here and they are mixed and living together. Yes, we have problems but show me one country in Europe who doesn't. Your generalizations, prejudices and pre-conceived notions only show how little you know or understand our culture. A lot of things you mentioned are politically related and you dint know enough about us to form an informed opinion.
This woman needs a reality check. I have been all over this country and have never seen anything like you’re describing. My best advise to you…stay in Munich! For anyone else reading this, the US is NOTHING like she said and it’s exactly the way we like it! You never see a US website for women looking to marry a foreigner to get out of this country….nuf said! Don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.

Your comments are sweeping generalizations and without nuance. And, without telling us where you visited, your comments are pretty useless. It’s a big, varied country. And if you were largely in tourist areas, of course it will be expensive, just as it is in Europe.
You really should have published this video BEFORE your negative video. I learned about your channel by watching a reaction video on another channel and I came to your website specifically to tell you what I thought of your observations and criticisms. THEN I saw this video and decided to watch it first, and that changed my perspective about you. Perhaps it's a cultural thing, but you should always begin with the positives BEFORE you share your negatives, otherwise we're just left wondering why you bothered coming to the USA in the first place and hoping you'll never return. Perhaps Europeans are accustomed to starting off with criticism, but if you truly want to build your audience in the USA, you need to start with the positives.
You just went to LA. Typical European destination 🙄🙄🙄🙄. Go to upstate New York. Yes there’s an upstate. New York is more than nyc. So go there and you will see farms farmers market and mixed neighborhoods. Also, if you want to see people in fancy clothes. Go to Beverley hills that’s where most people are. For the drugs. We have laws in almost every state and county. For the clothing. It’s not a competition to see who can wear the fanciest. It’s all about if you feel good enough to wear all day. So go to more places that you never heard of. For the portion sizes: there something called left overs. So that you have some more food for tomorrow or later in the week. Also only time you see plastic silverware is mainly at food trucks and fast food. Every other restaurant has metal silverware. Before you go and talk lies to the internet. F
I didn’t go anywhere near West Coast 😅 you can check out my vlogs from the US to see that I went to Chicago, Detroit, Niagara Falls, Cleveland, Pennsylvania, Pittsburgh, Washington, Lancaster, Philadelphia, and lastly New York 😊😊
@@mia.eklund94 so basically you didnt actually explore the US just went to tourist cities and then generalized from there.
snob
don't come back. stay right where you are
The water in California is tasty right out of the tap. In the rest of America, it's not very good. But it's absolutely safe to drink everywhere, that's a federal law.
Yes absolutely 😊 I know it’s safe just wasn’t my taste. But I’m probably just not used to it.
I LOVE Massimo Dutti!! Thank you for sharing! That brown dress was gorgeous! 🤍
I also love them! Thank you for watching ☺
Wann planen Sie Amerika wieder zu besuchen??
Momentan haben wir leider keine Pläne…
@@mia.eklund94 Das ist Schade 🥲 Hoffentlich können Sie Michigan wieder besuche um die Great Lakes zu besuchen. Die Seen sind sehr nett und SEHR GROSS...und sehen wie ein Meer aus! Kommen Sie im Sommer!
Interesting I never heard you mention guns. Other European youtubers almost always say something about guns. You are right about the wastefulness in this country. We need to do more recycling. Once when I was in Berlin, I threw a plastic bottle in the wrong bin and felt like an asshole for doing it so I dug through the trash to find it and put it in the right bin. lol I like your video's keep up the good work. The poor neighbor hoods and homeless people that you saw, they choose to live that way. There are opportunities out there for them if they choose to take them.
As a tourist I didn’t come much in contact with the guns but of course that is another thing that is very different from Europe. Haha yes Germans take their garbage sorting very seriously. So sad about all the homeless people 😔
I’ve lived in the US my whole life and I see guns all the time….on a police officer! Ugh
Sie sind aus Deutschland ......nicht wahr?
No, I’m from Finland but I live in Germany now 😊 my bf is German
@@mia.eklund94 Ach so!! Sehr Nett! Willkommen!
The drinking water in the US tastes different depending where you are.
Yes for sure 😊
"Being friendly is neither good nor bad" What a clown
Thanks 🫶
Saddest thing I've ever heard was a German band trying to play the blues.
Go South next time to North and South Carolina Beaches and Charleston SC to Georgia and Florida and try to get to New Orleans for the food
I’d love to!
@@mia.eklund94 The last two weeks of December is a great time to go to New Orleans for the New Year Celebration ,it is something you should experience at least one time ....I have traveled quite a bit in my life but New Orleans was the wildest place I have ever been to and the food is so great.. ..I have never been to the Mardi Gras Celebration .. The Grand Canyon,, Arizona is a great place to see as well
Well water is great depending on where you live and the right depth of the water well makes a difference. I have a 20 foot shallow water well and no filters needed and the water is the best and it makes plants happy...Much of the water in American counties for the masses can be dreadfully bad
@@VIDSTORAGE that’s nice!
First
Thanks for watching 😊
Wow. Fought a revolution, freed the salves, gave women the right to vote, split the atom and put men on the moon and all we're known for is free water. Well, I guess that's a distinction.
I’m not talking about the past, only the impressions I got from my trip there 😉
Since the US is a rather large country you will find that the water can taste different from state to state or even county to county.
Yes I can imagine!
Gorgeousness! So glad you had a great time! ☀
Thank you!! 😊 it was awesome 🤩
such a pretty place 😍
It really is!
At 4: 00 minute mark , you walked past Blommer Chocolate factory. They make chocolate for many candy companies. When I first moved to Chicago in 2001, I didn’t know why I kept smelling chocolate in downtown. That was the reason why.
Yess we also smelled the chocolate!
Nice to see another European that "gets" the US. Most Europeans who speak negatively about the US have never been to the US, or at most they've been to New York City and South Florida. I could never live in Sweden again, after 30 years in the US.
Every country has its positives and negatives. I always try to see it from both sides.
You forgot that you can go to the bathroom in the US for free. It is such pain in Europe to have to pay for the facilities. Sometimes when we have been in Europe, we have to buy a drink (water or coffee, usually), so we can use their bathroom, which, of course, means you're going to have to go to the bathroom again pretty soon. LOL
That is true, but there’s always some loopholes 😊 also the charge to go to the bathroom is so small that I find reasonable if you’re not a customer of the place. It does take money and effort to keep the bathrooms clean. But I did enjoy it being free in the US!
When in Munich, I was shocked at the unfriendliness and coldness of the people. I was told that most Europeans are not very outgoing and tend to be very stiff and overly formal, especially in Germany. Also, I was shocked at the lack of restaurant diversity. All restaurants had, basically, the same items on their menus. I found it to be a very bland country.
Yes we European are much more reserved and do lot do any small talk with strangers, it’s just cultural. Living in Germany I can confirm that’s how it is. I’d disagree with restaurant diversity tho. If you’re in the central area then maybe as they cater mostly for tourists, but there’s lots of nice places with cuisines from all over the world.
@@mia.eklund94 Which is exactly what I would say about your fast food comment. You make it sound like you had no other options, which is ridiculous. If you wanted healthy food, it’s easy to find.
@@AnnieDC304 Indeed, we have 13 restaurants here in the USA with 3 Michelin Stars, the highest honor Michelin can bestow. Germany only has ten such restaurants. California has six of those restaurants, five of them in my area, the San Francisco Bay Area. 🙂 Fair to say that San Francisco is one of the great culinary centers of the world, and centers of culture in general. 🙂 (of course, the number of restaurants that are on the Michelin List without being good enough to have a star, and the number of ones with only one star, is much higher in both countries.)
@@AnnieDC304 💯
Germany killed its diversity.
Ok…..
I was stationed with the US Army in Munich 30+ years ago - I would kill for a real brötchen, haven't found anything exactly like it in the US. Subscribed and hope you enjoyed your visit.
Oh yes, German bakeries are something else 😍 thank you for watching and subscribing!
The Black Vest and Burned Orange Slip dress 2:54 would have to be my favorite
I love that outfit too!!
😊
Americans are much less formal and stuffy. Most are willing to help you without getting anything in return. They have an aversion to foreigners who criticize or complain about American life, customs and traditions!
That’s nice! I guess when you’re not used to that it sometimes may come off as fake (not saying they are).
As an introvert, I frankly used to dislike small talk when I was younger but now I don’t mind it & enjoy it even. It takes some practice but I’ve found it can really improve my mood, maybe help someone else’s mood, or even learn something new. I much prefer it over the “everybody minds their own business” or unfriendliness which I have experienced. Imo there is no such thing as small talk, only small minds.
I agree it can be nice, I just felt an overload of it a little bit in the US since we’re not really used to that. But it’s always nice to talk to people ☺️
as an european, I completely disagree, I think we europeans should learn from americans in terms of being more casual and comfortable with clothing
To each their own but I love being dressed up and making an effort in my looks even on a casual day 😊
@@mia.eklund94 I'm really curious what thought process drives you to think you are not allowed to dress up when you go out? Not trolling.... I'm genuinely curious. Does it come from being immersed in a culture with an authoritarian mindset? That is to say just because you saw a lot of people wearing casual clothes it must mean that casual dress is somehow mandated by law? Because that would be utterly ridiculous. This is America. You wear whatever you want when you go out. Whatever makes you feel comfortable, happy, prideful in your looks, etc. Nobody forces you to dress casual. Up until I retired, I wore dress pants, a crisply ironed dress shirt and necktie with shiny leather shoes every single day of my life for 37 years to work and to dinner, no matter where that was. I don't understand where you got this idea from?
@@LanaAnic-p7l athleisure wear such as Lululemon is pricey and looks great! American work more hours in a week than Europeans and on down time aren’t interested in looking like they’re on the way to work. We dress appropriately when called for, we’re not wearing leggings to a wedding or going to work in booty shorts. You are so closed minded. Stay in your country, the US would chew you up and spit you out.
As a 70-year-old American who moved to Europe decades ago, I find all the reasons you list are reasons I wanted to get out of the US. Just to mention two. Americans are superficially friendly and thus make mind-numbing small-talk. Then there is still systemic racial discrimination that is obvious.
Every country has the positives and negatives 😊
"Superficially friendly." Nope, disagree. You sound like a curmudgeon. But if you've found your niche, then more power to ya'.
When I’m nice to someone I don’t know it’s not superficial or fake.

Oh gosh! I sooo agree with the "water" point! I find it ridiculous when we ask for tap water in the restaurant, and they bring us a bottle for which we must pay 5 euros!
Yes! I wish that would change!!
European capitalists, such as the Nestle company, operate under the belief that even necessities like water must be purchased. If Nestle had it their way, it would be a crime for an individual to collect rain water.
The taste of drinking water varies from location to location. Some water has a high dissolved mineral content. You get used to a certain taste and everything else tastes a little "off". But all public water systems in the USA have to meet certain standards, so even though you may not think it tastes as good as what you are familiar with, it is safe. I think a lot of foreigners think that people are only nice because they are trying to get a bigger tip. That may be true to some degree with restaurant staff, but nobody else in customer service gets tips and they all act nice. Nice is just how the vast majority of American's act. I lived in Germany for 3 years and traveled all over Europe on vacations. I don't have anything negative to say about Germany. Some things are going to be different, as it is a different culture, but it's up to the traveler to adapt to the country that he/she is in.
Yes I agree with you, the people are generally friendlier to you in the US 😊 and the taste of water may just be unusual for me but that doesn’t mean it’s unsafe.
I think in general you are very accurate with this. Sadly America does have a lot of problems. As some others have mentioned though, things can differ a lot based on region, or even cities within regions. Sometimes it's not even the most obvious stuff. One might think larger cities would have a greater focus on recycling for instance, but a city like Chicago is far worse on recycling than a lot of smaller cities I've lived in throughout Michigan. It doesn't always make much sense. I've enjoyed your videos. Happy you took the time to visit a part of America not always traveled by tourists!
Thank you for watching 😊 every country has its problems and good sides.
From another comment she made, she basically only went to tourist cities.
I know you understand that Germany as you live it would not exist if not for America. You prattle on about segregation and racism in America, which most Americans do not deny, and act as if it does not exist in Germany. Really? What you do not understand, apparently, is that America is a nation of immigrants. Immigrants to America come over in droves. Those immigrants seek out family and their own countrymen. When my ancestors immigrated from Italy, yes they were unwelcome, but they settled in neighborhoods were Italian immigrants predominated. I would never deny that America has a long terrible history of racism, but we are dealing with it. Don’t forget that German fellow with the bad mustache, cheered on by your parents and great-grandparents. The street where I live is diverse. Some Europeans, like yourself, are blind to their own problems. Race riots in the UK. Racially motivated attacks in Europe. Piss poor neighborhoods of immigrants in Germany, France, Spain, etc. Italy turns back African immigrants. So before throwing stones at America look around you. So you dear lady stick to your lederhosen and price gouging American tourists.
I am shocked you did not mention education or lack of.
Well as a tourist that did not touch me as much to be honest.
The U.S. is one of the most educated countries in the world by tertiary attainment.
Really???? how about Massachusetts? Maryland? New Jersey? Or do you think each state has the same education system? what about universities? Did you really need a tourist that visited for a couple of weeks to give you expert opinion about how good or bad our education system is? Really????
@@ace56 it’s not always about expert opinions but also the first impressions 🙂 I’m always curious what other people think about my country
@@mia.eklund94 fist impressions? you need to watch the video then. How many states did you visit? Did you check the prices of groceries in North Carolina? How many homeless people did you see in Colorado? I have an hypothesis of why some Americans don't travel to other countries. Could be because others, specially Europeans have a sense of superiority. Did you even check how many homeless people we have per capita compare to others? it didn't shock you the amount of history we have in a short period of time, like landing on the moon? the quality of our museums? Soul food? how low are taxes are compare to your country? what about gas? Or do you think we don't have affordable health care?
