✔️ European Reacts to What Living in the USA is Truly Like - Reaction For the First Time
Andre, why don’t you do a video showing us your town. I’m sure there are lots of beautiful sights and buildings to show us. Most Americans will never have the opportunity to see Portugal, and I’m sure seeing your town from your perspective will be fascinating.
I would love seeing that! :)
Yes! Great idea! 👍👍👍
Me too, I would love that.
I agree! Give us a tour. 😊
👍🙂❤️
He’s to popular for that. Everyone would want to stay with him and his family.
👍🙂❤️
I nearly died when he said "Loads of snow" meanwhile you can still see grass. 😂😂😂😂😂
Like they just got hit from the lake.
I was thinking the same thing. In Boston, that's not a lot of snow. It's also at least a week old.
Sometimes Boston gets a lot of snow. This wasn’t a lot of snow though.
Yeah, that is what we call a "dusting" of snow. And Boston is not Rochester, but it gets more snow than *that* tiny amount, on a fairly frequent basis.
@@jonadabtheunsightly Yep, In N.W. Ohio that is just an early November surprise. We don't normally get "a lot" of snow. That's for the other end of the lake to the N.E. Cleveland, and Buffalo.
I'm an American and have watched several of your reaction videos, seeing how much you love and appreciate my country makes me appreciate it more and realize how lucky I am, and I thank you for that, more Americans need to understand how good we really do have it here.
So true!
4:30 There is a difference between inter city public transportation and cross country transportation.
There is a distinct demographic difference, to be certain.
At a bit over 200 miles (4 hours by train or nearly 3 and a half by car), this is technically the latter, but it's a very special case. If we set aside routes that stay within a single metropolitan area as a separate category and focus only on routes that go from one metropolitan area to another, the Northeast Corridor (DC Baltimore Philly NYC Boston) gets more passenger-rail traffic than all other such routes in North America, combined. So you shouldn't really try to draw general conclusions about the state of public transportation in the rest of America, by looking at this route. It's significantly atypical.
The Midwest has significantly less structured, inter-city public transit.
@@Skirt553 Yeah. Illinois has _some_ of that, with Chicago as a hub for obvious reasons. Other than that, there's the one slow Amtrak line from New York to Seattle, which runs through Cleveland and Chicago. Retired people can take that trip to the west coast, but working-age people going those kinds of distances invariably have to fly, in order to fit their vacation into the number of days available. Because this isn't Germany, and we don't all get thirty-six weeks of paid vacation every year, or whatever it is.
@@jonadabtheunsightlyThere are 6 trains per day between Seattle and Portland, and I believe 3-4 up to Vancouver BC. Public transportation within those cities is really rather good as well. Of course, to California from the PNW is different with only one, the Coast Starlight, per day I think.
One thing to know about Boston is that its metro area has the highest percentage of Portuguese speakers of any metro area in the US.
There are areas around Fall River and in parts of Rhode Island where Portuguese speaking immigrants do not have to speak english.Although, we are getting a lot more immigrants from Brazil than Portugal.
My father in law is Portuguese. The south coast has a large population of Portuguese and Brazilian immigrants as well
In Lowell MA they have what we always called "portugee corner" was a whole cool neighborhood all Portuguese families.
@@juliaellis2046 hi neighbor from Tiverton
I've heard that as well.
Being from northern New England I have to say nothing is better on French toast or pancakes than butter and REAL maple syrup.
NEW HAMPSHIRE maple syrup!!!
Eh. My family has always made fruit-based syrups (most often, peach), from home-canned fruit. THAT is better than thickened tree juice any day of the week. You do have to make it yourself though. It's not something you can buy in a store, or at a restaurant.
I'm from Texas, and I agree 100 percent with you, real butter and real maple syrup!
@jonadabth How about just telling us about making your delicious fruit sauce and not talk s**t about other people's food culture. :-/ Maple syrup is delicious and very labor intensive. Having it is always a treat.
I’m in the Great Lakes and whenever anyone travels northeast they are asked to bring back fresh maple syrup 😁
The ancient joke about a Boston (Bawston) accent: Pahk the cahr in Hahvahd yahd.
Yes you're crazy. I love your enthusiasm for things we take for granted. I'm sure Portugal has equally beautiful places.
The climate in the north and south changes the style and appearance of home construction
Absolutely construction is different in different states. Florida houses are known for almost-flat roofs, concrete block construction, and a "hurricane band" of steel that works like a belt to hold it together in high winds. No basements because of the high water table. As you go north, roof pitches are steeper so the snow/ice comes off easier, and wood construction is preferred as you can put stronger and stronger insulation for the cold winter months. Many houses have basements or partial basements. As for style of home, yes, the Colonial style is big in the northeast, ranches (one floor) in the south, and splattered all over are Victorian, Mid-Century Modern, Tudor, Arts & Crafts....on and on.
Don't forget the houses and trailers on stilts.
The trains are nice, but it's a better system for the Eastern states. Once you cross the Mississippi cars or planes are better. The Amtrak doesn't go everywhere, so you would need to get a rental car to see more.
there's a few nice ones out west but yeah. the train from LA to San Diego is a solid option for someone not wanting to drive. Growing up out that way it never occurs to me to not just drive the 2 hrs but it's there and I hear it's a really nice train
That's the best part about living in the west! I wouldn't have it any other way!
Forget about buses!
@@j.kevvideoproductions.6463 Depends on the buses. Of course the older buses like the old Trailways and Greyhound lines are out of the question. Now though, expanding throughout the US are private buses. They are set up like 1st class airline seats and have hostesses on board. I know there are lines between Atlanta and Nashville. Also, from Ohio I believe it is to Washington, DC. Napaway is one of the companies and there is another, Vonlane operates in Texas. I know there is one in California. Between Houston and Dallas Vonlane is $99. On the morning rides you get breakfast and dinner. Snacks during the day.
This train is nice but it's not public transportation, unless you consider planes and everything public transportation.
The building construction is different in different regions. I am a (retired) truck driver and I traveled extensively all over America (with the exception of Alaska and Hawaii) The USA is one country with many distinct cultures within its borders. It is really quite fascinating to experience traveling here.
By all means, ride the trains. It's the easiest way to really appreciate the size of the US, without exhausting yourself driving. Easy as flying, with better scenery.
It does take literally days though. Fly cross country use Amtrak on the coast. Denver to San Francisco, up to Portland and Seattle is absolutely stunning
@@kramermccabe8601 Agreed, took Amtrack from Chicago to San Fran in my tenties and it was a rough trip. America is BIG. But definitely utilize the coastal routes. As well as the west coast the drive and train ride over the Chesapeake Bay Bridge and Tunnel on the east is unforgettable as well! And that is coming from a Chicago perspective. Just come here too, don't believe the crime hype!! ;-)
Cape Cod, too!
@@MakisupaPolicia Train rides in the mountains on both sides of the country are great too.
LA to SD is magical❤
Riding Amtrak outside of the East coast corridor is a NIGHTMARE.
Isn’t there a nice Amtrak through through Colorado or that area?
That’s the Northeast Corridor you’re seeing outside the train. It’s a huge mega-region that starts in Boston and ends at Washington DC. This region is a economic powerhouse with a large GDP of 3.2 trillion dollars in a year and its all connected by all types of transportation.
Megalopolis. 😊😊
Starts farther up
Boston is completely unaffordable
…unless you’re rich
thats an Amtrak train they were riding on....they are for long train rides across states so they're completely different than the trains & transportation system in the cities to get to different parts of the city....I've taken an Amtrak train ride from Southern California to Washington DC....it was ok....the food wasn't the best & we were in a sleeper car at the end of the train so it was crazy small & bumpy....the views & stops were nice though....yes the houses in the Northern states & Southern states tend to be very different in construction....some of it has to do with weather conditions....I really appreciate that these people put the prices in their videos instead of just telling us that its less or too expensive compared to where people are from....french toast is a typical light breakfast or midnight snack made from bread that you dip in egg & milk then cooked in a pan & covered in powdered sugar & cinnamon & syrup & whatever else you want....21
They were on the North East Corridor which is the 120mph 4 track commuter section of Amtrak that goes from Boston to DC. Not the long distance trains that you are thinking about.
The hockey teams that play each other are American team and Canadian teams. So the other countries flag is also represented and their national anthem sung, as well as the u.s.
In baseball, we used to play 2 teams from Canada, now just one. Toronto. Same as in basketball, and soccer may play more than 1 team.. I think only football is just America. They have their own Canadian league that plays "American, in this case, " Canadian " football.
There are videos online of when the mic failed during the national anthem (in Canada), the Canadian audience finished the sing. It was beautiful.
These were college teams
We see a lot of Canadian flags here in Montana. Obviously, no major league sports here. There were cross border activities for training during WWII and you'll find the Canadian flag at some Memorial sites. We do dog shows and the Canadian National Anthem is played at those events as well.
We spent 10 days in Boston (actually stayed in Peabody). Boston was a great walking town.
Shout out to Nick’s Pizza in Peabody.
I’m from USA, state of Maine. My state is 2 states north of Massachusetts, Boston. It’s a beautiful city, lots of history. It’s where our revolution with England began and where the pilgrims in 1600’s came. so lots and lots of history.if it weren’t for the strength of Bostonian’s we would not have United States. remember, our buildings in New England are the oldest. Colonial. Texas wasn’t even a state yet. So our homes look very different.
French toast is a dish of sliced bread soaked in beaten eggs and often milk or cream, then pan-fried. Alternative names and variants include eggy bread,Bombay toast, gypsy toast and poor knights (of Windsor).When French toast is served as a sweet dish, sugar, vanilla, or cinnamon are also commonly added before pan-frying, and then it may be topped with sugar (often powdered sugar), butter, fruit, or syrup. When it is a savory dish, it is generally fried with a pinch of salt or pepper, and it can then be served with a sauce such as ketchup or mayonnaise.
What it's truly like depends on your earnings, your race, your beliefs, and your community.
Mostly earnings
False, false, false, and false.
Maybe it impacts how YOU see the World around you, but rarely does it notably impact your personal life in reality.
I grew up dirt poor welfare but had no idea we were. Everyone treated everyone else how I was raised, by the content of their character.
I had a... chaotic household, not typical, addiction issues etc- other than embarrassed teen years it never impacted my relationship to the outside world.
My culture looks surface same to many, but in reality was deeply different in multiple ways that I like and keep- but it never colored how I interact or view others not like mine.
I can go on.
But you get the point:
You create the division and negative vibe you expect, with rare exceptions. And HOW you deal with those exceptions can break you if you do not take a rational longer view of the world.
If you believe your life is limited and experiences changed by situations or traits you cannot change to the point THAT is how you engage with the world.... that is exactly what you get.
If you do not, and handle any bad with grace and optimism, the world is far more expansive and full of wonderful things and experiences and opportunities.
@@seaneendelong8065 Truly glad it worked for you.
I’m from New Hampshire and Boston is beautiful. I also lived on Cape Cod in Massachusetts, which is lovely. Construction is different everywhere. New England has beautiful architecture and history everywhere you go. At least there isn’t much snow, so they enjoy Boston.
Andre, they are riding an Amtrak train. Something you could consider when you visit the US is to take an Amtrak around the country. You can book a package where you can get a scenic train across country and you can get off 10 times in 30 days. You could spend a couple days in different locations. There are train routes from NY to California and stop in different states. Texas, Colorado, Louisiana, Arizona, California, Oregon, Washington State and also DC, Florida. Something to look into. They are nice trains.
Northern homes have basements or cellars the size of the home. In the south they may have a small tornado shelter enough for family to survive a couple days.
You would love East Tennessee. It's Beautiful and you would like how friendly the people are. I am born and raised here
I grew up in NYC and it’s near-in suburbs and my wife and I attended law school in Boston. That corridor is one of the few where rail makes sense. You don’t need a car in either city (you do in their suburbs - but as a tourist you don’t need one to see the city centers). The Acela (a more high speed version Amtrak than they took will take you to downtown Boston pretty quickly. And the cities are close enough that train (if on time which can be a struggle for Amtrak) is about as fast as going from city center to the airport 2 hours before your flight, doing all the security stuff, landing in Boston and then getting a cab or Uber to your hotel. That said, I wouldn’t take Amtrak outside the northeast corridor and even there it can be dicey as to being on time. There’s also something quintessentially American about driving between cities. But for NYC midtown to downtown Boston the Acela train is a good option. That said, 9 times out of 10 I’d still fly because there are so many shuttles leaving so often and the flight is very quick.
When you said, “Boston is beautiful,” they were showing a pretty far out from Boston suburb. Westwood, MA is even outside even the 128-corridor outer ring road. Center of Westwood to Boston Commin is a 27 minute / 23 mile (37km) drive.
Don’t get me wrong, Boston is great city to visit as a tourist and a perfect jumping off point for road trips into New England like Vermont, NH, the Maine coast.
Also only a South African can say “lots of snow” for that few inches of nothing.
9:40 lol that's new york.
Boston is the "pahk yah cah" accent.
Oh 😕
@@european-reacts don't feel too bad! New York and Boston are the two major first accents people tend to think of, so you weren't too far off.
I hardly hear the Boston accent any more. Not In these parts.
The trains in the northeast are pretty decent, particularly those on the northeast corridor from Washington to Boston.
I lived in Boston for ten years in the late 70s/early 80s. It is a beautiful city, but they are not in the city itself. They are in Dedham, which is also beautiful, but it is a country town compared to Boston itself(btw, Dedham has the oldest standing timber-frame house in the US, built in 1637.). Boston proper is much more densely built up. It's a very old city for the US, founded in 1630, and so it probably resembles a lot of European cities.
Also, even though I lived there for ten years, I could never get the hang of the Boston Accent. Only those who grew up with it can do it properly.
Bostonians take great pride in walking around in shorts and a T-shirt in the middle of blizzards! The snow on the ground in this video is a dusting by New England standards.
BOSTON COLLEGE! My Alma Mater! I graduated from BC in 1981.
21!
Not too far from Boston is Salem Massachusetts. The Salem witch trials from 1692. It’s most popular in October where many people dress up like witches, and it’s very pretty and quaint in the fall. (If your looking for ideas)
Andre. I live in Louisiana. I’ve lived in Los Angeles and New York and New Orleans. I however love Sweden and love traveling to Orebro. You should tell us about life in your home town and Country.
Wait - they think that’s what snow is like? Buwahahaha! In Lake Tahoe the ~average~ annual snowfall is just over 23 feet.
Go do any diner thats open for breakfast and look on the menu for something called "all American breakfast" " breakfast platter" "classic breakfast". You'll typically end up with sausage links or Patty's, eggs, pancakes or French toast, and hashbrowns
Boston is among the oldest cities in the US, and is the Birthplace of the Revolution. Not far away you can visit the battlefields of Lexington and Concord - two towns where the Minutemen first fought the British, and it touched off our War for Independence. Also the Bunker Hill battlefield is in the Boston metro area.
Boston is one of the great walking cities in the US and has a good subway too. A bunch of the making of the US happened in Boston. There is a Freedom Trail too, a self guided tour of historic sites.
I took a train ride in the USA (from Texas to Ohio and back) just to be able to say that I had done it. I loved the train -- but the only draw back was that the train tracks nearly always go through the "back side" of many town -- people don't like to live next to train tracks --so you get views of junk yards and derelict places -- you won't get the views of the really nice parts of town -- but it is still a good way to travel because you get to see some nice views, too -- especially between towns. The country views are really nice.
I live in California and have never noticed how blue the shadows of trees are in the snow. The aerial shot was lovely. I wish all Americans were as kind in their comments about America as you are. Thank you.
Another European youtuber reacted to this video and was shocked at how much they paid for that breakfast - I would point out they got at least three entrees between the two people, maybe four. Their egg/toast/sausage/beans plates were each one entree per person and those pancakes are another one (those are not a side dish sized portion) and the french toast plate looks like a side dish portion but I'm not even sure about that. They got a LOT of food between just the two of them!
There was at least a 3rd person with them
It looked like enough food for half a dozen people at least.
I just figure everything is expensive in the U.S now. Especially groceries. Since the Frances Scott Key bridge was wreaked it's much worse because everything has to be re-routed. We don't like it either.
seemed rather expensive to me. im in the PNW.
Which is funny because you cannot get that much food for 3 people in most places in Western Europe.
Feel free to ask anything you want about Boston! I bet there are hundreds of us who will be happy to give you dozens of different answers.
Yeah, that family definitely lives in a rich area. And while some people do have furnished basements like that, most of them are full of laundry, random storage stuff, and maybe tools.
That food is pretty representative of diner food, but that was a pricy place. There are other diners that are much more casual and much cheaper. In case you're curious, on that meal I would tip at least $16 - just over 20%. If the service was amazing or we were high maintenance (loud, picky, messy kids) I'd go higher.
Even thought the temperature wasn't that low, the waterfront would have been absolutely freezing! The wind there would be absolutely brutal and there was no real sun to make it bearable. The wind chill makes such a difference that the weather apps or news gives you the actual temperature and then what it feels like with the wind chill factor.
21!
The New England area has very different architecture from the south not only because of the weather and terrain but because it is the oldest settlement in the US. All the states and major cities are also closer together so the train systems and public transportation is much better. Tiny tidbit - in Louisiana we don’t have basements in our homes because the water table is so high. They would stay flooded. lol
I liked seeing the guy wearing shorts with snow outside. I live in Denver Colorado & that's a pretty common sight around here in the spring. It can snow overnight, then get into the 50's or 60's the next day.
As an American, I recognized the pancakes, but not their French Toast. Typical French Toast is cooked in egg and then you pour syrup over them. I haven't seen them with chocolate.
As for "Americans are good at desserts", well... a lot of the sweet things you react to aren't desserts to us. They're main dishes. :)
You should do the same NY to Boston trip. I live in Boston and it has so much amazing history. That station is literally down the highway from me. The yellow building with the flags is the new Westwood fire station.
I'm American, and I have never tasted Nutella!....is that wrong?!😂😂😂🇺🇸❤️
Not at all. We Americans are hooked on peanut butter more so than Nutella, though I've noticed Nutella has become increasing popular here over the past 20 years or so. I prefer PB, but to each their own. :)
I never had it either.
@@xzonia1 Ha! I'm a peanut butter freak! Love the stuff❤️👍
@@user-nl6se9ll6w ☺
I haven't either, but my son has a tree nut allergy, so we don't even consider it.
watching you salivate after that Nutella and Brioche had me dying ...thats why I rock with you because your reactions are so real and funny
People say public transportation is bad in America because it only really covers major cities. If you live in some small town or even some small cities public transportation does not really exist.
The problem with public transportation in the states is there isn't enough of it. We're a vast nation and our car culture is king. I love trains and wish we had a greater network.
If you come to Chicago, Andre, you should check out the Chicago Amtrak station. A bunch of the Amtrak stations were built a long time ago when there was a lot more funding for public services and there was this big ideal about U.S. train riders riding in style. So they're big, fancy buildings that probably wouldn't get built for a government-subsidized service in today's funding climate. I will also say that the Amtrak is AMAZING, but the problem is that Amtrak doesn't serve most cities so you only get it if you live in one of the cities on the train route. Biden just approved a big infrastructure package to hopefully expand Amtrak service to more cities, though!
My favorite Amtrak train route is the Empire Builder. It starts in Chicago and takes three days to go all across the Midwest to the West Coast. The train track runs through national parks and Indian reservations where cars can't go, so I just hang out in the lounge car with my laptop for three days watching all these crazy forests and mountains and wild horses and Native American ritual sites go by. There's this interesting train culture where people talk to each other on the train too, so I always make at least one new train buddy when I take a long route. They're always super-interesting people too.
Boston is a beautiful city and full of early American History! I love Boston; East Coast cities have a lot of history….I was a History major in college!
They are obviously NOT from New England. ;-) That amount of snow is negligible. Oh, and it's NOT cold either !! They also do not know that you DO NOT throw ice !! You can hurt someone very badly !!
I heard your comment about taking a train. Traveling by train has been in my bucket list for a long time. Last fall, I was finally able to take the Auto Train from Lorain, Virginia to Sanford Florida. The Auto Train allowed me to put my car on the train while I traveled in comfort in a roomette that was a private compartment that could be converted to a sleeping room at night. The trip took 17 hours and I loved every minute of it. I may try the train trip from Chicago to the Rocky Mountains next.
Portugal is at the top of my list to see, I have a very romantic view of Portugal. I think you should show us your country.!
Just as each state has it's own sort of culture, they each have a slightly different climate. For example, the house in the video has a basement. Houses in Florida cannot have basements because the water table is too high and the ground too soft. The houses further south, especially in Florida, have to be rated for extreme weather and hurricanes, while those further north do not need to be built for such conditions.
Take the train from Denver to Glenwood Springs Colorado and stay in the old Denver hotel (now Maxwell Anderson Hotel).
Boston is probably our most historic city with many places and things from the revolutionary war period when America was just beginning. The size of the US poses major problems when it comes to public transportation. You can take trains like amtrak to travel the country and busses are a very convenient way to travel, too.
Building is designed according to the region and weather. Different styles of architecture throughout the nation.
The neighborhood at 11:40 is representative of many American neighborhoods all over.
Here in the northern US, I'm in upstate NY, houses have steeper roofs so the snow slides off and the weight of the snow doesn't collapse the roof.
Amtrak is not exactly public transportation in the sense of using a city's subway or elevated train. It's more on the lines of a flight, but slower and cheaper, or a bus, but more comfortable.
I have watched several of your videos and I must say I truly love your fresh outlook of US, it makes me stop to appreciate my surroundings and the rest of the country, so thank you❣️ I have subscribed but as a side note I wouldn't mind a tour of your country through your eyes🙏🏼 As in many countries the political climate here is very unstable and I'm hoping for a better future for my kids and their kids. Best wishes in what ever life brings you 🫶
Well said. I'd also love a tour of his country by him. :)
If you take a train for longer distances, you can get a room or roomette. Then you get real food in a dining car. Amtrak is pretty well known for its good food, included in the price of your ticket.There are lots of YT videos showing this. I've been across country by train several times and up and down the eastern seaboard many times, as I lived in the area. Trains are great!
21 Boston is a great city. I've always had a good time every time I have been.
Andre, every time I watch one of your videos, I continue to be impressed with your knowledge of the US. To know that Boston has its own accent is pretty amazing and you are right!
Public Transportation in the U.S. is dependent on population density. Giant cities have decent public transport, but for some reason people outside the U.S. don't realize the impossibility of good public transportation in rural areas which is most of America.
-2C in Boston isn't cold if it's not windy. Don't hurl ice at people! THe cousins live in a fancy suburb...but honestly, most of New England looks like that, more or less. Oldest housing stock in the US, dirt roads, trees, it's fab. Source: me.
One reason we have such great food is that we have TWO food channels that show nothing but menu and food-related shows 24/7. It rubs off on you.
The National Hockey League is actually a combination of the United States and Canadian teams. That's why there was both the US and Canadian flags. We also sing both national anthems. Hockey is also one of the big sports in the US.
LOL thats not "loads of snow". Thats a light dusting.
You are right about the home construction, I live in Texas. Our houses are built to let heat OUT, and northern houses are built to keep heat IN. Where I live we don't have basements either, because the water is too close to the surface.
if you end up in the Midwest, I highly recommend Chicago, Illinois for a stop, as well as Omaha, Nebraska. Good examples of how cities are throughout the region. plus, loads of history in both.
I just started watching some of your videos, and they make me smile. Thank you!
Big cities like Boston and New City are expensive. That breakfast would be expensive in most other places but it also was too much for just two people.
Take Amtrak from Emeryville (just across the Bay from SF) to Reno. In the winter. Amazingly gorgeous. Then fly out of Reno….
I ride Amtrak whenever I can; the seats are huge and so much leg room I can hardly reach the footrest. By the time you mess with security at the airport and delays, the train trip I take is basically the same amount of time. There is a train that goes through the mountains to California (California Zephyr) where you can relax and enjoy the scenery without the stress of 3 days driving. Basements are a safety feature if you live in many areas; tornado shelter plus storage. I grew up in Michigan, where the snow is way deeper than that. But tons of things to do over the winter, snow mobiles, ice fishing, lots of museums.
Black pudding is from England and Ireland
it made from pork, pork/beef blood mixed with pork fat and cereal and made into a sausage to eat.
It must be pointed out that the breakfast they odered was enough for at least 4 people. Normally you each order one plate. The bill was actually fairly inexpensive for the number of entrees that were shown.
Boston has a very distinct way of speaking as they don’t use the R sound at all and replace it with an A sound. They love the Red Sox and are a bit rude but it’s normal, they also say wicked a lot for some reason.
In other parts of the country they say hella we in New England say wicked. It's wicked awesome. You should try it.
hockey is now a national sport, not just the north and Canada.. in fact the Dallas (texas) Stars are currently in round 2 of the Stanly Cup playoffs. ..
I've never been to a hockey game, but I do think I'd enjoy it if I ever went. Looks like a fun time. :)
British and Irish dish of suet or fat, oatmeal or barley, breadcrumbs and sometimes pork filled into a natural or cellulose sausage casing. And Black pudding is a distinct regional type of blood sausage originating in the United Kingdom and Ireland. It is made from pork or occasionally beef blood, with pork fat or beef suet, and a cereal, usually oatmeal, oat groats, or barley groats. The high proportion of cereal, along with the use of certain herbs such as pennyroyal, serves to distinguish black pudding from blood sausages eaten in other parts of the world.

I used to live in New England. I miss it. ❤
Yes, the construction is different in the North and South of the US. As you guessed, it is because the houses in the north are designed to conserve heat, and houses in the south are designed to release heat.
My better half is a home designer.
Building standard laws different in every state. Florida has the strictest building codes because of hurricanes. Their homes are usually CMU. Northern houses are built to withstand more snow.
Midwest homes are stick built, but really should adopt Florida codes due to the tornado season. Houses in the NW have ice issue in winter but don't build to fight the ice.
The east coast is the only place where you’ll find trains and subways that are like this and there’s very little public transportation available outside of the upper east coast. They government and state governments are trying to make more better transportation available across the country but it takes time and money and the cooperation of everyone involved to make it happen so for now we are limited but the country is working on it. As far as I know
That is one of the few remaining commuter routes in America. I know it runs at least from Boston south to NYC, Philly and DC. Are there any other major stops?
Public transportation is almost non-existent away from cities.
21. Yes, I’d like to see your reaction to Boston. It’s a great city with lots of early American history. When you travel the US, taking the train down the eastern corridor from Boston to Washington DC, there’s even a high speed(for us) train on this route, is a great alternative to driving/flying. It’s also a great train trip from Chicago to San Francisco or LA. Passing through the Rocky Mountains is beautiful and more enjoyable than driving or flying if you have the time. Otherwise, your idea to travel the western US and Texas by RV is a great idea too. Driving is necessary in most part of the US but trips can be great planned by train if you have the time.

Train rides aren't horrible, though if it's an overnight trip, it might be worth flying or driving, the latter if you want to see the world around you. One thing I noticed during the train trips I've taken - the tracks tend to go through the roughest parts of towns, and stations aren't exactly in great places, either (within a city). So yes, you'll see general geography by train, but what you see might not all be beautiful (then again, it's the same with cars). If you're only staying in the Northeast corridor, trains might be a good choice. If you visit the SE US, you'll need a car to do it properly.
8:33 you got something messed up Texas is not a hot state. It’s a mix seasonal state. It has blazing heat, freezing cold weather. It rains in hails there and they also have drought. So no it’s not just a state that has a mixed season on an extreme scale. Unlike other states that’s just either or
I took a trip on Amtrak from Tampa, Fl. to San Jose, Ca., and then back, a few months later. It was a real adventure, and yes, you're correct. U.S. has a wide variety of terrain.
In FL you can’t have a basement because of the water table. Every state has to adjust for something
I LOVE IT when you react to our food!! You see the picture of someone cutting into something. You are soo funny! We know your being real not acting.
The train ride Northbound out of New York City on Amtrak, is one of the most spectacular sights in the US. The train is on a viaduct high above the buildings of Queens as it approaches the famous Hell Gate Bridge. It's even better at night when the whole NYC skyline lights up.
Dallas Stars are in the second round of the playoffs. Give it look see. I was gifted tickets to the second game of seven. It was a blast. And I think most hockey stadiums have both the American and Canadian flag and sing both Anthems when we are playing a Canadian team here at home. They do the same thing for us so makes sense. Good sportsmanship.
Those people were on the Amtrak between NYC and Boston. Amtrak is better than the commuter trauns or subway.
Northern states need more pitch in the roof due to snowfall, they're built quite robust, snow is heavy, warmer climates you don't need the steep pitch.
The California Zephyr, which runs from Chicago to Omaha to Denver to Salt Lake City to Reno to just outside of San Francisco and dozens of places in between is probably the best way to see the sheer beauty of the US countryside. It's 51.5 hours and just over 2,400 miles long, or roughly the driving distance from Lisbon to Minsk. You can also attach a separate trip from New York to Chicago if you want the full length trip. There's a fast and slow version, the slow version adding 28 hours to the trip and the fast one adding 19.5 hours. It also adds an extra 710 miles to the mile, making the trip longer than that from Lisbon to Moscow in a car.
Southern Missouri,northern Arkansas is some of the most beautiful places in America.
My ex is from the Ozarks. Beautiful area.
Andre,
There's a old hockey joke, "you came to see a fight and a hockey game broke out." 😂 Twenty Juan 😂
"Definitely a lot more food than we're used to eating"
lol well they ordered two full meals for each of them. That had nothing to do with American serving sizes. :)
