Me and my husband want to visit India soooo much!!❤ Hope we will achive it in a near future! Which cities and places do you recommend to visit first? Thank you 🙏
It's depends on your choice which whether you would like to visit cities or nature..for nature..Shimla, Kashmir, Chennai, Thiruvananthapuram, Mahabaleshwar, Ooty would be the best..and if you wanna visit cities then of course Delhi(the capital city), Mumbai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Bangalore..all such places are available..and Goa(beach) also.. And people mostly like the cuisine of India whoever comes from foreign countries..the best food would be available in East Side and West Side. Also the ambience is full of culture and heritage..!! ♥
@Monalisa Paul Thank you so much for your prompt and detailed reply!!!🤗 It seems that one should come many times as there are so much to see in India🇮🇳 ! I will write down your advice! Thank you again!!🙏♥️🌹
Dear remarkable person who is reading this.. It’s going to get better; all it is a season of opportunity to grow and be better than before. Challenging times are meant to strengthen us, not to break us. Success doesn’t define to what happened to us; it is how we choose to deal with our circumstances. The more you grow and develop as an incredible person as you are, the more things will change for the better. Forgive more (for you), be grateful for even the smallest things (we have it way better than someone else), choose love over ego, choose humility over ego (humility is strength), and finally, invest into new skills so that your future self will thank you. Our lives will change forever the more we grow. Be thankful for the challenges for we know something greater is coming. Love you always - Nathalie ✨❤️
Thank you, your videos are fun and interesting to watch. I've not travelled to any European country or had the chance of moving and living abroad so it is interesting to hear the difference of things I take for granted that if I lived in another country would not be available to me. Keep the videos coming great work!
Hey Marina, this is amazing. I've been following you on Lingua Marina over 2 or even 3 years ago, I already knew about this channel, but I was a little skeptical to join it. After watching a couple of videos, I just realized that this is a whole 'nother thing, it was just awesome, it made me feel like if a friend were talking to me, I felt closer to the girl behind the scenes. Thanks for this great content and keep it up ✨💫🙏🏽💫🙏🏽💫🙏🏽💫✨
The whole donating to the university thing... Nope. I've given waaay too much of my money (and time) in return for a piece of paper that says I spent waaay too much of my money (and time) on them already. What are they going to do, take it back? 🤣
People who graduate with a Stanford or Harvard MBA are happy to donate back to their school because they get something in return: recognition. If you donate 1 or 10 million then people (namely your classmates, who may also be rich) will notice you and get in touch at the next alumni networking event. There you may meet a former classmate who has access to venture capital or runs his own hedge fund. She may be able to arrange seed capital and even take a stake in your company because they know your background, how trustworthy and diligent you are. So that donation may open up opportunities that may otherwise not exist. It is absolutely true that who you know can be very important when it comes to venture cap financing or even finding the best luxury vacation spot.
I've lived around the world and I never knew about "the cops touching your car for prints or to see if your trunk is open", wow!!!!! Also, as an American, I've not owned a car in the US until last year, as I've been living abroad or in NYC where you don't need a car. Thanks for that info because I have a car in the US now.
To be able to choose and change your circumstances is a luxury that is not possible everywhere in the world and in all contexts, is not a given, is a luxury unfortunately.
I hear so many Russian bloggers complain about the shower head thing. Thank you for at least showing that you can replace the showerheads. Most bloggers don't and go on and on about how horrible the showerheads are, as if they don't know they can easily buy a different one. The college donations thing? I wouldn't say it is expected. Yes you will probably be asked but you're not required to donate at all. We give enough to these schools to earn a degree as it is.
I enjoyed this video. It's nice to get a perspective from somebody from another country, I think in more crowded areas, large cities, the Northeast corridor, parts of California, we need better public transportation, or even high speed rail service. But, I don.t see it happening anytime soon. At least, finally, car manufactures are starting to produce more electric and hybrid vehicles. Personally, I would like to see major US companies pay more in taxes, some don't pay any taxes, cut back military spending, and use some of the money to improve our infrastructure. Much of the water, sewer, electric grid is very old, and outdated. But, the political climate is in so much disagreement these day's, they can't even agree on what day it is. Good video, Thamks, John
Those were pretty interesting facts about America. Thanks, Marina! Now I even better understood why Americans worried that much about taxes. Also, it is good to know do not to take your hands off the wheel, I would do, definitely. Oh yeah, the date format in America quite confusing me all the time. Lucky you, you gave your daughter birth on 11/11. I had to give my daughter birth on 11/11 as well but she decided to come to the world on 12/11 or it is in America like 11/12? Ok, it still confuses me, it better to stop here.
My first daughter is born 8/8 . wohoo!! (Induction started on Aug 3 so I was lucky there it took so long). My second daughter was born on 11 Oct so 10/11 or 11/10 depending on which side of the pond you are. That is quite annoying. If only she was born 5 hours earlier on 10/10 😅
Wow the donation after graduation 🎓 really shocked me! Why in the world is person expected to donate something, after paying already soooooooo much for the university in the first place. So many things wrong with this....it makes education only available for rich people, as in Europe is available for everyone.
I got two packages stolen within a month and both of them were from Apple. But in my case I received empty boxes. And there was an iPhone 13 in one of them and an Apple Watch in the other. And Apple was like "We're really sorry, we're just gonna send you another iPhone within a couple of days. Will it be ok?". And when we received the second package and it was also empty I was kinda nervous to inform Apple about it since I imagined they won't be too happy about the second call coming from me in one month. And for the second time they were like "We're sending you another Apple Watch, we're really sorry that this happened to you". I must say I had been ordering from them for many years though and nothing ever had been stolen, so I kind have a good ordering history) But I was sooo pleased that Apple took care of everything and all I had to do was give them a call
I love people of this country, I mean USA. I did live in several countries for few years and also visited many other countries and can tell that Americans are very kind, friendly and honest, they are civilized in comparison with many other nations which just boiling in anger. Second such kind of nation is probably Balinese people, they are very kind and friendly also. Plus Germans are very nice, I love them. And yes, public transportation here is terrible. I think because of Americans need to drive themselves everywhere, they get overweight. They do not walk because of way how cities are set up and lack of good public transportation.
Good Job! Hmmm, I dont agree with the part about buying a fancy car & mark up. People can avoid paying mark up in silicon valley and do not need to wait 6 months for a 150K car. It needs a little bit more searching and browsing. The good thing is there are many dealership around.
Not all cities in the USA are the same. Columbus, Ohio for example is pretty clean. Also, attitudes and accents are different. New Yorkers and Jersey are notoriously rude. Midwest tends to be friendly but all of the North tends to be more industrial. In the South if they say "bless your heart" it isn't a compliment - usually it means they think you are doing something wrong. And all soda down there is "coke" then you say what kind. In the North it is soda. Most cities you don't have to have reservations for months. But on a weekend popular ones may have a several hour wait for walk-ins. Small rural towns may be more xenophobic about strangers.
Wow, your experience seems to be a bit in a bubble. I have lived in three corners of the US; NY, FL, and CA and have experienced that the US is different in different areas. No you should not be expected to get in or to donate to a University after you graduate. No, tips should not be based on percentage of cost - if you stop by a coffee shop and sit and read a bit, get great service, then I tip a lot more than a percentage of the cost of a cup of coffee. On the other hand, if I go to a place that charges me $100 for a spoon of food, get one visit by the waiter/waitress, I assume the restaurant pays the employees well. Paying above sticker or list price is not normal and I hope foreigners don't think or help make it an expectation. if a dealer is doing that, write the manufacturer and complain. If the car is purchased from a private party then "it is what it is." If you say these things as fact, and they are not, then others will follow and make them so. Insist on ethical, moral, reasonable and honest transactions. When I was growing up in the US, your word and character was all one needed when dealing with you. Regarding a landscaping or gardening service... do not go on line... break that habit. Walk your neighborhood, see who has a great yard, ask them who they use and if they would recommend them, and go from there. Gardeners like to do houses close together: it saves them travel time. Also, I recommend doing some gardening yourself (with your husband) a couple of times a week, it allows your brain to relax, then focus, then great ideas come to mind.
I'm from Germany and I never knew that the police touched your car :O :D I knew that you should leave your hands on the wheel but not that they touched your car...
People in the USA are not really friendly to non English speaking tourists. Servers in restaurants and bar tending service is not very attentive unless they know you.
Her start up project ended up entering to top 50 best start-up ideas in silicon valley(I'm not sure with the name of the "top 50 list"), and got a visa as a entrepreneur.
Hi Marina when you talk about the US It seems you live in Heaven. When l first was there in 1976 l realized that Heaven was in my country Italy. I never had troubles with the language. Many Americans came to study in my country, Medicine or Veterinery because of the closed Number, they got graduated and still live here in Italy after almost half century. Some of them never went back to the US not even on vacation. It might be Heaven for you but It doesn't mean that It Is Heaven for everyone
Hi. My name is Genaro M. Montalvo I just want to ask you, if I may..... What is your profession? What is it that your looking for? I know you have not had this channel that long?
Marina, As someone that grew up in Cupertino before it was Silicon Valley I really appreciate your videos that tell the rest of the world about us.
Americans are so nice and friendly. I’m from Montenegro and it’s been 20 years that we are in Chicago and in love with the city. Amazing lake area, clean, beautiful and now I call it my home. Since we come from Mediterranean still trying to get used to this climate, it’s little to cold for us.
Hey, just wanted to ask how is Chicago for immigrants, do they have plausible social aid for immigrants, pricing especially for me I'm in my very early twenties and I'm looking into school and the tech industry a lot I'm thinking on moving there from Portland
*Most great accomplishments were achieved by the people, who at first had no idea what they were doing.*
Keep going my friend. I am cheering for you. 🙂
I've seen so many of these types of videos recently... but you have insights almost nobody else does. You're often hilarious, too! Big subscribe.
I hope you do more like this. Americans can be a bit touchy, but honesty helps people the most. Honesty also makes for some natural comedy, too. I think you've found a marvelous balance here. Barely "triggering", very funny, and yet still massively helpful and informative. Fantastic
This was really good, what I personally been coming to your channel for in the past 4 years. ♥️🥇🙌
I'm from India I've been watching your videos for last 1 year..come to India once and visit our country
Me and my husband want to visit India soooo much!!❤ Hope we will achive it in a near future! Which cities and places do you recommend to visit first? Thank you 🙏
It's depends on your choice which whether you would like to visit cities or nature..for nature..Shimla, Kashmir, Chennai, Thiruvananthapuram, Mahabaleshwar, Ooty would be the best..and if you wanna visit cities then of course Delhi(the capital city), Mumbai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Bangalore..all such places are available..and Goa(beach) also..
And people mostly like the cuisine of India whoever comes from foreign countries..the best food would be available in East Side and West Side.
Also the ambience is full of culture and heritage..!! ♥
@Monalisa Paul Thank you so much for your prompt and detailed reply!!!🤗
It seems that one should come many times as there are so much to see in India🇮🇳 ! I will write down your advice!

Each and every point listed by you is soo true !! I personally have felt the same way, while others take it quite normally 🙄

I find people in America more friendly than they are in Canada , surprisingly. I love both countries nonetheless.
You have a wonderful attitude (ataraxia) toward the acceptance of different things and even things that you may not like. Keep smiling!
The message at the end of the video was the best!
Love to see more content Like this ❤️
I like your positive talking
Thanks
Excellent …you have that enthusiasm! CEO material!
The donation is SO TRUE!!!!!!
here in Italy
If someone stops you along the street "hey, you look amazing"
My answer is "what do you want to sell me?"
Not in the US lol if someone looks nice to us we'll let them know

Rain showers are a pain of my existence in Canada 😂 I literally have to use loofah and sprinkle water on my shower cabin to rinse it 😅
Thanks, Marina!

That Silicon Valley line thing is ridiculous
walking culture is a dense city )) 5-7 level homes)
Both theories are right.
