I met a man named Vivic from India, he came to learn to downhill ski in park City Utah.
By the end of the week I had him following me down black diamond runs.
Amazing determination to learn.
When he went home, he made me so jealous when he told me he went skiing in the Himalayas,
Some day.
White people love indians
Im pretty sure his name must be vivek 😂😂
See that would be the craziest but fun thing of my life
Compared to India, the US has about 3 times as much land. India on the other hand has 4 times as many people as the US. This indicates that India's population density is about 12 times that of the US.
That might also indicate there are alot of busy Indian couples. If see what I'm sayin'. lol
@@americanmutt9089 The Indian fertility rate has shrunk under replacement rate. Times a' changing
A large part of the western US is desert though. Not good for farming.
@@pyrovania, yes, and a large part down the middle of the US is mountains, and large areas of the central north is buried under large areas of fresh water lakes, also not good for farming. What's your point?
@O d V how do you know I'm not YOUR mother?
"Americans are born all over the world every day, some just haven't come home yet."

You two are so fun to watch! Come visit the USA. Do a road trip. You will love it! It's so fun to experience all the different regions and the food!!!
Maybe one day!
I actually wish the video had covered transportation. So much of the world pokes fun when Americans complain about $5 gasoline. But guys, I live in northeast NY State, okay? It would take me SIX HOURS just to drive to the western end of my state - and I won't have even LEFT MY STATE YET.
We also have ZERO public transportation in most places. Sure, NY City or certain other of our big cities have subway or city bus, but in most of the country, we don't have these - or if we do, they are very limited, rarely ever reliable on schedule. So we have to drive everywhere - and many of us are driving 40-60 minutes ONE WAY to get to work. Five or six days a week every week.
The land mass is huge. Most of our population exists along the borders of the country, and in the big cities. The rural areas are very open usually, and once you get into the interior of the country, it's often long stretches of miles and miles on the interstate highways without seeing other people (except maybe a few other drivers).
So, yeah. We're huge. :) We also don't have any one single official language. I grew up speaking English, learning bits of Spanish, Haudenosaunee and Canadian French from those around me. I have learned a few random bits of Mandarin from the Chinese immigrants around me in recent years, and bits of High Russian from Russian immigrants that live in our neighborhood as well. Three houses away from me used to live an elderly Italian widow. She understood English when she heard it, but could only pronounce her native Italian.
This is another sore point with many Americans. Much of the world criticizes us for mostly not being multi-lingual. Seriously, you can drive from France to Germany in less time than it takes for some of us to drive outside of our own state!! Let alone getting out of our country! I agree, Americans could do with a LOT more exposure to other cultures and people. The expense is out of reach of all but the rich. Most Americans you see overseas are highly affluent or in the upper rich groups here. They really are not representative of most of our people.
We are so big that you can have entirely different cultural groups just from one state to another, or one region to another. Appalachia is totally different from the Northeast; the Southwest is completely different from the plains; the west coast is different from the Pacific Northwest coast. The southeast is total different from the New England states. Each of the indigenous communities is different from the surrounding non-indigenous communities. And on and on. Even of all the English speaking Americans, you have multiple regional accents and dialects depending on where in the country you are.
The U.S. is like multiple countries all flying the same flag and pretending to be the same country. LOL. This is also why we often appear (and sometimes ARE) totally divided on different social or political issues. 😆 Imagine putting England, France, Germany, Russia, Finland and Sweden all into the same country and expecting it to function smoothly. NOPE NOT GONNA HAPPEN! 😂 That's kinda what we have over here. I'm honestly amazed it hasn't devolved into raw anarchy a long time ago. ;)
If only you could tour the US to see it for yourselves and go from sea to shining sea, you’d be Amazed at all we have! Then, maybe, you’d be amazed at all our capabilities. From Arctic Tundra to Hawaiian jungles, to Western Deserts, or the Great Plains, or mountainous areas, we have it all!
Yeah, military all over the foreign countries, that is just wrong.
People in US consume more resources than any other people in the world, polluting the globe as much as China and India.
More people in prisons that some countries have people, homelessnes, drugs and guns, gangs etc. Yeah, i'll pass that wonder...
India has snowy mountains, jungles and deserts also…
Our regions are entirely different. For example The West is way different from The South in both food and culture. I'm from beautiful, subtropical Coastal South Carolina. With pristine waters (i.e., rivers, estuaries and Atlantic Ocean) and excellent seafood.
@O d V No, lots of us.
Living in the United States be like:
"Oh it's not that far, it's just a 6-hour drive."
Also, US road trips are 👌
...or, as I've said, "Meh, it's a 24-hour drive...we've done it in one go with three drivers."
@@ex-navyspook I've done a 24 hour drive on my own in one straight shot. I almost stopped to get a hotel for a night with about 4 hours left, but I kept going. In the last hour I was worried I'd have to call someone from my destination to bring another and drive my car for me, I was nearly falling asleep. Crazy drive.
@@ivankawnartist I did the drive, once, with what were SUPPOSED to be three other drivers, but my son got sick on the trip (and slept most of the way), and my wife is night-blind. I don't sleep well in cars so, other than the little part that my wife drove, it was all me.
I'd NEVER try it in one go by myself. I did an 18-hour flight when I was in the military, then had an eight-hour drive at the end, and thought I could do it all in one go (I was much younger, and MUCH dumber). Around the 22-hour mark, after drifting over into the other lane, I decided it was time to pull over and get a little rest. It's just too dangerous to drive without sleep, for you and anyone else around you.
Stay safe, my friend.
@@ex-navyspook I was determined to get back home. I don't forsee a similar situation arising again in my lifetime.
@@ivankawnartist oh yeah one time me and a friend drove from New Jersey to Oklahoma in one shot. About 24 hours of us switching to drive every 6. Near the end I literally thought I was gonna die LOL
The size of a country may be interesting to some, but how you access those areas is much more interesting. In the US we like cars and roads. I actually think we like roads more than cars. The Federal government maintains the Interstate Highways, the states maintain state roads, the counties maintain county roads. There are a lot of roads in the US even if they are just gravel roads. Even the gravel roads are maintained.
So it's just the bridges falling apart?
@@dannycarlow8204 🤣🤣🤣
@@dannycarlow8204 Bridges are inherently dangerous and need a lot of maintenance.
What is a county? I'm curious we don't have it here in India.
@@JohnWayne-ox4re It is a subdivision of land and governmental authority within a of a state.
I am now watching all of your vids… you have a great openness to your minds and your sense of humor. You both seem like kind people.
Size wise, we're pretty big. IE LA to NYC is the same flight time as NYC to London
Purchasing parity is what you can buy with your money compared to someplace else. When I left America a steak and fries cost around $20, in Bangalore it cost $4 with 2 kingfishers thrown in. That means I had 5 times the purchasing parity in India. China has a very good purchasing parity because of so many products being made there.
I'm from New York. Love your channel. Wish to visit India one day!!!
I have been binge watching this channel all week! I just love these two and their interest and excitement about every topic they cover. Great job guys!
There are quite a few video about National Parks and attractions. All countries. I find them very interesting. Excellent video.
Hey loud guys, love your videos, there very interesting, keep up the great work, much love from canada
Love your program. Thank you
every state in the US have people from every country in the world, along with Native Americans, and decendants of the people who came here from the start.
Texan here....I learned alot from you video. Thanks!
love the vid - hello from Seattle
this is the reason why a lot of Americans do not travel outside the country. there is so much to see inside USA all so diffrent texas alaska califorina grorgia its like visting a new country not a state. no need to go outside for a lot of us.
Well other places are very interesting too. I've been to about 25 countries and about 25 US states. It would take a lot of vacation time to see all of it.
Been watching your videos lately and just decided to subscribe to you guys. Peace and love to Hindustan❤️
I’m from USA but India is my favorite country 🇺🇸🤝🇮🇳
Your videos are great only planned on watching 1 and now I’ve been here for almost 3 hours watching videos keep up the great work
You can get into your car at 8am in El Paso, drive due East for 12 hours, stop at a motel at 8pm, and still be in Texas.

Great channel!
we could build city after city, So much land

Farmable land per person should be the standard instead of size. The US has ice, mountains, and desert. India has a lot of flat warm land with water and a good farming base. I would suspect India would have the highest "percentage" of farmable land. India has a great potential to increase its agriculture output to the highest in the world! This should be a great export year for India.
Yes, that's what I was saying. Algeria and Australia are both large countries, geographically, but they are mostly desert and don't have the water resources to support a large population.
@@pyrovania Not just India but all countries should ask themselves "What are we doing right?" and do much more of that. Repairing agriculture problems also fix automatically repairs other problems as a side effect. Clean water and roads to market will also increase health and employment. Obviously, there will be more food and more diverse food. There are two ways to improve: replacing the worst with something new "which often fails" or extending what works to lift more people "which often works".
Yes india has large farmable land but not all of india is flat most of India's agriculture produce is only done by 4-5 states out of 29 states for example my complete state is mountainous and in winters u can't grow anything except for areas which are in less altitude
@@Anmolnegi-yw7hg Apples and many other things grow on mountainsides. Much of the US can not grow crops all year due to extreme cold. Greenhouses are great equalizers for extending growing seasons in these areas as well. We consider farmers very very hard-working heroes. Making small amounts of sharable equipment available can make a huge difference in harvest. Here some smaller farms borrow equipment from each other.
India also has Himalayan Mountains in North Beaches in Southern India,
You can drive for 24 hours and never leave the state of Texas depending on where you start.
There are tons of Punjabi people who immigrate to the US also. There is a huge Sikh parade in Yuba City, California every year. I'm sure there are UA-cam videos on it if you look them up!
The "is China or the USA bigger in area" question is a little cloudy; they are relatively the same size.
I think technically, China has slightly more solid land but the United States possesses more overall when including the shallow water off shores/surrounding islands, etc. But China is also building artificial islands.
Solid land?
@@paulwicht6294 Yes. The USA is only larger when counting "extensive coastal waters off of U.S. states and island territories".
@@sikksotoo Not talking about those fair points.
We simply have far greater access to the Atlantic and Pacific.
@@paulwicht6294 2ww2w
I did a calculation one time, and China is about one Syria larger than the US.
We have massive military expenditure, true, but you have to remember that not only are we the only global military presence on Earth, we also do most of NATO’s funding.
Don't forget the US gun owners make up the largest military at an estimated 80 million people with 9 billion rounds of ammo. Even is the normal average of 3% of people join a militia or military in a war, that is another 2.4M people.
Indians come to the states a lot for mostly school and work. here indians excel at engineering and are hired quickly. They tend to keep their old ways though slightly modified for appearances outside the home. The biggest Hindu temple in the States is Gedesa temple in New york city. It serves three states and has a nice Cafe in the Basement serving old classic indian dishes that are very approved by the dietary standards of india. the chef Floyd Cardosia who was indian tried to elevate Indian food to the best it can be earning a star and a james beard award . unfortunately he died in 2020 as a victim of the pandemic. He was cremated in standard tradition but his remains are currently in new york awaiting the final voyage into the Ganges due to to the border issues.
There are a lot of Sikhs in Yuba City California, they have a Sikh temple there.
A lot of Indian doctors in the US also.
Love your channel, you're both very funny and cute.
Many locations in the US natural environments match a lot of other countries. ie. Mountains, deserts, oceans etc.
I think the continental US only lacks tropics - and Hawaii covers that - and an arid desert. Our deserts have more plant life.
Hawaii also has a glacier if memory serves.

key ha ley. for our good friends seek Indian And our good friends!
You guys should do some Canadian video reactions 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Ok. First, ya gotta slow down, just a bit. I thought I talked fast!?🤔
Also, these numbers are a bit misleading. The population of major Cities, like Chicago, at over 2M, are surrounded by Cities and Towns that add to the congestion. Like the ChicagoLAND area has 6M people.
Our Armed Services may be over 1M but, there are MANY who could be returned to Active duty when called upon. Our Military bases are far and wide but not ALL of them are fully equipped for conflict. Our Military budget (built on 95% of Citizens' taxes) also includes Foreign Aid to other Governments, Space Ventures and supplies and food for those in Need.
Cali and Texas and NY have a high GDP but, they contribute funds to the Federal Government to give assistance to poorer States like Kentucky and West Virginia. (Welfare States) This extra Money is also used during times of Natural Disasters! And we have plenty enough of those! Unless you live in the desert. But, there's still a chance of monsoons and flash floods...
Canadians ARE more welcoming and friendlier than Americans UNLESS you visit Quebec!! (The French Canadians) But, it is COLD AS HECK in Canada. So, ya better really Love Canada if ya want to live there.
One thing that is both good and frustrating about the U.S. is that there are Federal Laws that apply TO ALL and yet Separate State Laws that Citizens live by. So one State may not serve ones needs as much as another State might.
One thing I have found that foreigners are surprised by is that YES we DO have Ghettos and Slums! Our Industrial Areas are profitable but, not the prettiest.
Though Americans SEEM to be "Totally Free", Freedom itself, is Never "Free"! We have fought Wars over Hundreds of years to Gain and Keep the Freedoms we still hold. It is an everlasting struggle against those in our own government, who wish to squash us. We hope to defend Freedom around the Globe but, other Countries must recognize just how fragile our own Freedom actually is!! So, when people get here to "live" their dream, they best be prepared to pitch in, if you wanna keep those Freedoms.
My physical therapists are from India. One girl lives 25 miles away. I said, "Geez, Really? That far? You must hate the drive!" She told me that in India, it would take 2 or more hours, sometimes, to get that far. Where in America, it takes about a half hour, at most! If you do come to America, you WILL find your own likes and dislikes. I can't imagine home being anywhere else. But ya gotta learn to take the good with the bad!👍
Good Luck on your
New Channel!!🍀😉
Have Fun!!🤗
Yeah California has a population of ~40m people, and ~10m of that is in Los Angeles County alone. Landmass wise, LA county isn't very large. It's tiny compared to neighboring San Bernardino County, which is massive in terms of area. CA has the largest population, and is the 3rd largest state in land mass. I find it funny how Texas is 2nd for both population and landmass.
California may have a good economy but the United Nations report stated that Alabama would be among the world's poorest economies if not part of the USA
Throughout U.S. history, most immigrants have been very poor and uneducated. When my great-grandparents came here from Italy in the 1910s, they had little or no money, spoke no English, and had just enough education to be literate. But a high percentage of immigrants from south Asia are highly educated and speak English. Go to any American university, hospital, or large company and you will find immigrants or the children or grandchildren of immigrants from south Asia, mostly India I imagine. I attended university in a small city in Vermont, a rural state that is still mostly white people of European ancestry, yet there are educated people from India living there, despite the terribly cold winters. I met a married Sikh couple who were visiting the U.S. to do "post-doctoral" study in astrophysics (they both already had doctoral degrees, but that wasn't enough education). It's my understanding that there is more economic opportunity now in India than there was in the first few decades after independence. Hopefully, this "brain drain" out of India has lessened, to the betterment of your country.
On factor that has to be considered with the population of cities is how the
populated area is defined - substantially all US cities are surrounded by metropolitan areas
that effectively function as part of the city.
For example... depending on who is defining the boundaries -
both "Metropolitan New York City"... and "The Great Los Angeles Metro Area" contain about 20 million people.
Though the population density of NYC is 10 times that of LA.
LA is the toughest one, because that is just a giant sprawl up and down the coast and people do commute for work and leisure.
@@recoil53 Absolutely -
I grew up in So Cal (a long time ago) boundaries that existed then, no longer have any meaning.
Even when you look at the different "official" census designations...
it gets a little squirrely.
But that is one massive urban sprawl.
Ok I like watching 👍
These stats sound nice, but there is of course nuance. We don't all agree with each other, there can be extreme disparity in wealth, and some of the things our peers take for granted are absent. Still, I love my country, and hope to see it improve by increasing our strengths and correcting our deficiencies.
The Great American Salad Bowl is a beautiful thing to behold and call a part of our home. The distinctness of the various cultures coming together to form a greater whole without losing their own distinct identities.
I think you guys would love it to visit us and I think we'd love to have you visit.
Just a little something that you can check out, Did you know that the size of Texas in the u.s. is so large, And it is just one state, That it can hold the world population in just that one state alone. That should give you some idea how big the u.s. really is. And I myself have gone from Atlantic City New Jersey to LA in California which is east coast to West Coast by bus. This trip that I have made several times has taken me three to six days depending on the weather, I have also flown the same distance which takes about 4 and a half to five hours.
Yes, we have land room but not budget for migrants.
Kaursa is so pretty 😍
I work for an India company LOL! But besides that, the infographics you watched is old, with the problems in the world, I doubt China is still doing as well as described in the old video. Some states like Idaho, Wyoming and Montana have very small populations, so there is a lot of elbow room there. In some places you can drive for an hour on the highways and see very few vehicles.
California has more people than Canada.
But for population density, India and Indonesia win the prize for sure.
You both should react to packages sent from other countries! I'd send you guys something

There is far too much to see on one trip. Each state has its own culture and sub cultures. Just like one could never see all of India in one trip.
That purchasing power number is not per capita that's for the total country. China has much more population than the United States and the purchasing power per person is lower, a lot lower.
Everything’s bigger in Texas even the population of Single strait people with a taste for foreigners 😉💜😎 Much love from the State that used to be its own Country.
Second Canada
The geographical advantages of the US are far greater than that of either China or Russia.
Yeah...China could put like most of their money on the exchange market...and the world would probably not be able to come back from that much of a shock on the market...the depressions in history would be a small thing.
The video you are reacting to is a bit out of date. The US military budget was over $800 billion in 2021 - for example. Immigration was down to 707,000 - possibly because of covid.
Correct. U.S. population is now above 330 million (and estimated at almost 332 million now).
@@johnalden5821 Pretty soon India will have more people than China. They've been catching up. India and China must have very resilient ecosystems to hold that many people. China at least gets plenty of rain except up north.

If you two came here, you cannot walk from New York to California in a day. You cannot even do that if you tried to walk across Texas.
City population figures are a bit misleading, each of those cities is surrounded by 3-7 rings of Suburbs, so the actual population of the New York City Metropolitan area is actually 20.1 million, Los Angeles is just under 13 million and Chicago is 9.5 million.
With the growth of Southern California over the last 40 years, SoCal is basically one very large metropolitan area of about 24 million. There is no longer anything separating Los Angeles, Ventura, Riverside, San Bernadino, & Orange Counties, and the only thing separating San Diego county is a large military base (Camp Pendleton). From Oxnard to the north, all the way to the Mexican border is an uninterrupted population of people. If it weren't for signs on the highway, you'd have no clue when you left one for the next.
Los Angeles greater metro area is close to 20 million. But Mumbai might be bigger? Shanghai and Beijing are definitely bigger (both around 25 million).

They didn't say how much of our military budget is spent in aid to other countries. We actually spend billions in aid.
In 2020, the US sent $11.6 billion in military aid to 157 different countries, according to United States Agency for International Development and State Department data. The contributions amounted to less than 2% of the $683 billion spent that year on national defense.
PPP refers to buying in your own country with your own currency. Of course, no country buys everything within its own country (and with its own currency).

Population density in the U.S. is not evenly distributed, of course. The eastern half of the country has a larger share, and much of the population is centered in major metro areas along the Atlantic and Pacific coasts. These areas have high population density, while many of the states in center of the U.S. -- particularly in the western half, are fairly vacant. This partly reflects historical settlement patterns but also the lack of water resources across much of the West.
The north east of the country is the most densely populated - basically New England and the mid-Atlantic states.
The rest of the Eastern half is sparser.
