I became a us citizen today at a ceremony for 600 naturalized Americans. We were from 86 different countries!
Yippee!! Congrats and welcome!! ❤
Congratulations and welcome!!
Congrats and welcome aboard. Where are you from?
Amazing! Welcome!
Congratulations! Welcome!😊🎉
She's downplaying our drive through banking. You can drive up, talk to a teller through a speaker, send paper checks/forms through a tube system. It's 100 times more than you're imagining.
There are sooo many different cultures within the United States too.
It is my favorite thing to see how so many foreigners move to the States and fall in love with living here. Americans are absolutely TRASHED in the foreign media, on UA-cam etc but good people like Feli show that Americans are kind, welcoming.
It doesnt matter if the glass is half empty or half full, we have free refills.
Love your guys's videos We are from Portugal and it's true what she says People in Portugal be grudged themselves more than they do in the United States We've been living here for 50 years in the United States
The reason I enjoy your channel is because you are both so upbeat and positive!
@UChyzLGoocFe2FXcGsY-gQhA Hello! Hurrah!
Felicia is spot on with her observations and commentary. I’m American, have lived in Germany and traveled Europe. She is right, America and Americans are open, friendly, optimistic and will try anything. Our founding, unique government, Constitution, history and attitudes are all based on personal freedom. It’s a very special thing, hard to explain but obvious to everyone. I enjoyed living in Germany but I missed America, because it feels different here, it’s free. ❤ Love your channel. TY
Traveling over there, I felt in Germany too I met so many people wanting to talk to me from the USA especially from the NY area. Some found it hard to talk out of their comfort zone and they do. I feel they want to but you can see with some unless they had something to drink( everyone is open except the ones in a bad mood but they are in a bad mood with everyone) that they want to engage but it is hard if they do not know you. I find putting them more at easy with some personalities work. I have the feeling you might be good at that too.
To clarify, remember when they say pavement next to wall ATMs that’s a sidewalk. Americans generally will think pavement is for driving.
Yeah, but wee do have genuine drive-up banking as well. I've never used it. I'm always afraid I'll drop my money between the car and the window or take too long if there's someone behind me. I'd rather park and use the ATM nearby.
Freedom
@@BTinSFAlot of the drive up banking where i live works on a vacuum system You take a capsule out of the tube and put your money and paperwork in it than put it back im the tube and it sucks it up through the tube to the bank than they send it back to you
11:12 this is why I like to hang out with engineers and people who have a “builder” or “producer” mindset. An optimist will say the glass is half full, a pessimist that it’s half empty, and an engineer will say the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.
The 'tone' of America and all the things she's talking about is because of the Constitution. This needs to be emphasized, because many Americans are losing sight of the beauty of the country they live in. And it's because Propaganda is powerful tool, and needs to be fought with the truth! She did a good job. Almost 250 years old and it's still the greatest government doctrine ever written
“I pledge allegiance to the flag…” WITH ALL MY HEART!!
❤️🇺🇸💝
@@corinnepmorrison1854 Back at ya Corinne! Isn't it quite ironic that new citizens or guests have to inform birth citizens of how great their country is?
The magna carta is the greatest document ever written 😊
@@claregale9011 This is precisely what
@MoMoMyPup10 is referring too. The Magna Carta started what the U.S. constitution perfected, and that's limited government. Try reading the entirety of it, and Hillsdale College has free online courses on the constitution.
Especially since the new Mexico governor attempted to take the 2nd amendment away and it backfired on her 😂
About looking at ppl, I look at as many ppl as I can. I love the diversity of ppl here. As I got older, I loved going to the state fair with my dad and getting a beer, and just sitting down and watching the ppl.
People Watching is a fun activity - especially at the Minnesota State Fair! You can definitely see that the United States is a melting pot of immigrants & those who were here first pretty much everywhere here.
In the South, generally, we only judge people by which college football team they support :)
Very true and all GREAT Americans are LSU fans. 😁😎
Man that’s the truth. Boomer Sooner!
Yes indeed!! Geaux Tigers 🐅
LMAO!
Duke ('cause I went there). Judge me.
Generally speaking this is true, but I also think there is differences in city, rural and suburb and there is also differences in which cities your talking about.
it's healthy to have a relationship with balance, like the "half empty" "half full"perspectives. it's not always wrong to be weary, takes ability to do both, so you guys are set! Can't wait to meet baby Beesley!
I’m American and I have conversations with random people often. Stores, elevators, festivals, service stations,’on the street. I talk to the cashiers, to the waiters, bank tellers. If I go into a shop and an employee who isn’t super busy looks dead at me and doesn’t say hello or ask if I need help, I might not ever go back. In my culture if someone says hello and you don’t respond it’s considered bad manners. I also pay people compliments if I like their outfits, hair or if they have a nice smile. And people do visa versa.
When I went to London, I noticed most people weren’t friendly or approached. My friend and I got on the train and I wanted to smile at people but mostly they looked miserable and like they were trying to avoid making eye contact. I approached to English guys at an attraction and after talking a bit I asked them if they were uncomfortable since I had heard some Europeans say they feel that way about American strangers talking to them. They said they had been to the USA plenty of times so they were used to it and had come to like it.
Now when I went to Italy and Spain, people were much friendlier on the street. Latin America and the Caribbean too.
I found some English and Europeans like that too but I think it is because they are out of their comfort zone, they are not used to talking to people at random. I do notice they want to talk but do not know how to engage. I was told that by English people and I saw it as well. They told me quite a few that they wish they can talk freely like I do but they cannot do it unless they know them well.
America has 3 coasts. Atlantic, Pacific, and Gulf coast.
Having been to or lived on all 3. Facts. Different cultures in all 3 even on the same coast because of size. The U.S. is about the size of Europe.
I'm subscribed to Feli's channel and I live in the U.S. I agree that some of her observations are a little nitpicking, however if these things were really that big of an issue for her she wouldn't still live here. I enjoy your channel and hers as well.
You forgot the 4th (North) coast. It's small, but it's there--L Michigan & the S Shore of the other 4 Great Lakes.
@@Cricket2731 Good call. The US is just too large! The Great Lakes are another whole thing...
There's also the Gulf of Alaska
Great stuff. I was born in England and moved Canada as a young boy with my family. We moved to Texas in 1964 and stayed.
At most banks, they have drive up ATMs, as well as ATMs in the foyer of the bank, which is open 24 hours, so you can drive up to the outside ATM, or walk up to the inside ATM.
She seems bright and happy today....You two have a good attitude about diversity. You'll be great parents.
Lol, when you said half empty or half full, maybe I'm weird, but if someone drinks a full glass to the halfway point, I say half empty. If someone fills a glass halfway, I say it's half full.
Truly enjoyed this. Thank you.
Thinking of you all. Baby boy should be arriving before you know it. What great parents you’ll be.
💙
Where I live, you can drive less than 3 hours (different directions obviously) to arrive at: the beach, snowcapped mountains/ski resorts, an arid desert, a temperate forest, sweeping grasslands, a deciduous rainforest, or one of several metropolitan city centers. To say the landscape and scenery is diverse is an understatement, you can find any sort of ecological biome that exists in the whole world somewhere in the US.
I’m from the Ajax and the only other country I’ve been in was Canada when I was in high school in the 90s and I guess I never really thought about it until a video I watched of y’all that was the girl driving from Texas up to Alaska and she stopped at a rodeo. One part of that was about her going to a drive up ATM and I guess I assumed they had them everywhere!
A lot of people are critical of this girl, they think she's arrogant, condescending and doesn't seem to actually really like America. But as she even points out with her first reason for loving America is that Americans (and I'd also say this applies somewhat to Brits too) are more open and friendly than Germans. She's just a typical German and yes they can easily come off as arrogant, humorless and prickley. Its just a quirk of cultures.
Back in my misspent youth I was a mechanic in a shop that specialized in European cars (that's where my username comes from; Zündfolge means "firing order" and is stamped on the valve cover or other place on the engine of German cars). The shop was owned by a German immigrant and he, his wife and the German girl that worked the parts counter were all the same way. For most of the time I worked there I thought none of them liked me, but then when I eventually gave my notice to moved on, the parts girl and owner's wife were both teary eyed and gave me hugs on my last day and the owner gave me a big hand-shake and told me how much he'd enjoyed having me work for him. I had horribly misjudged them because of the subtle differences in German and American culture.
So no, I don't think Feli is arrogant, condescending nor do I think she actually dislikes America. She's just German.
TBH I have watched a few of her videos but didn’t continue. I wasn’t Feelin’ Feli.
As an American who lived in England for many years plus many vacations. Taught 10 summers there. I was going to start that again the past couple of summers but I ended up staying home. Next Summer. I would say as an American many British people were kind. Media shows is not true. People were kind always heard my accent although they said it was light that it was not heavy. They always loved the idea I was born and raised in NY. All over Europe in general. I am an open person that is forward and a people person! I am very friendly. I think some British have a polite coldness way but they were out of their comfort zone but I felt most of them too wanted to talk to me. I would say many Irish are like that as well. I love talking to the British and I think because I am an American. I met many on vacation or living in Italy too when I bumped into British, they were always interested in where I was from in the USA. New York is such an easy conversation. Although some have sterotypes about it. I never saw a crime in my life in NY and Brooklyn where I grew up in Marine Park in Brooklyn. SE corner with a suburban feel that my Irish cousins and British friends felt it was like a London Suburb. I said it more like the outer part of the city or the outskirts. People in Manhattan or even Brooklyn Height Cobble Hill or Park Slope would say too far. It is more residential with families.
Here? Two New Yorks to me. Nice areas I would say Native New Yorkers are talkative and forward. If they like you, you know it and feel it!!! If they do not, you would have a polite coldness in not engaging. Manhattan is like that too although many are in a rush. Brooklyn Heights some are not Native New Yorkers. They come from all over the country!! Central and Northern NJ surburbs and Long Island plus Upstate NY are mostly native New Yorkers or children or grandchildren of them.
The other parts of NYC or the not so nice areas, you can find nice people but less so, Many can be rude or they simply do not trust people. They do not trust each other in high crime areas. If you come from outside their area, they would be like what are we there for?
In general I believe people in the USA are nice. I would say southerners are nice but most people are not as nice as I am but I am rare. I have strong intuition. South and midwest, many are kind many have a polite kindness with a bit of coldness. NY and NJ people are far from cold! You know they like you, if you are genuine, they will talk and they would like you especially from overseas. Everyone loves people from Ireland and England!! Usually!!
Beesleys, just in case you've not heard why she starts her videos with 'halo, servus, welcome' is that the first is in standard German, the second in Bavarian German, and obviously, #3 is in English; she thought a greeting in 3 languages would be interesting, with which I agree.
On the subject of scenic diversity, she said we have 2 coasts, but it could be said that we have 4, if you separate the Atlantic and the Gulf of Mexico, and add the Arctic coast in Alaska. This makes for some unbelievable temperature differences, especially in winter. I may have mentioned this in the past, but in case I didn't, on a winter day several years ago, I got a "brainstorm", and decided to see how wide a temperature difference I could find. I eventually decided on Fairbanks, AK, which was sitting at -40F, whereas at the same time, Honolulu was at 85F--a difference of 125 degrees F/51.6 C at the same moment in the same country.
The atms aren’t roadside, they’re generally on the side of a bank that is in a shopping center and there is drive through access.
Love you guys!! ❤
It's good to have both the optimistic types as well as the skeptical types, you need optimistic's to drive progress and skeptical's to highlight concerns for why something might not work. I like to think I'm a optimistic realist, I want to be positive while also trying to identify potential challenges that might not let an idea work.
Talk about spontaneous!?!. One weekend, three of my friends and I decided we were gonna drive from Doylestown, Pennsylvania to Boulder, Colorado. To visit a friend who had just moved out there.😂
“100 miles”😂 on our Summer vacation my wife and I ended up driving 1,500 in just under a week.
I live just across the river from Feli. We have a saying on friendliness: You're a guest once. After that, you know where the refrigerator is.
Well, she sees how Americans in their _20s_ socialize easily.
Getting a whole group of friends together past 30 is heartbreakingly difficult and rare.
In a quite literal sense, too, since it's causing depression and loneliness to skyrocket here.
yeah i can see that, i’m 45 now and when i was younger i had many friends that would come hang out and watch movies and we’d go out to eat and stuff, but now it’s like everybody has kids and obligations, it’s tough
Well of course, that's just due to the responsibilities of life. But if it's that difficult in America, I can't imagine how difficult it would be in a lot of the rest of the world.
I know I'm late watching this one and commenting. I hope by the time you have read this. You have your baby boy in your arms.
I'm an American and what I find that helps others. When I see someone in town that I don't know or do know. I always try to remember to smile and say hi. Sometimes not everyone's day is going smoothly. Just to give a smile they might need. I know there has been days I could use a smile and a hi. But yes we do like to talk to everyone. I'm a elderly lady and sometimes some of us need to feel like we are among the living.
My son was stationed in Germany for 2 years in the army he was very welcomed he mentioned how nice the citizens were and he loved it there
Hi from Texas! I watch y’all everyday and love your videos! Just wanted to let you know. ❤
Millie going to the pub usually involves a few pints. As beer or ale is made from grain... basically bread juice!
Feli is great, I've watched lots of her videos. It was fun watching you react to her...I have to go find the others that you said you did! Really enjoy your content from Connecticut, USA!
At least they are not watching any more Joel and Lia videos.
funny thing about the drive up atm is i cant remember the last time i went to the bank, almost every retailer(shop) offers cash back with purchases and almost every retailer takes debt cards so you really don't need cash
I've gotta go inside a bank soon because I've got close to $50 in coins I've accumulated over years and I want to deposit them and ATM machines I know about only take paper money and checks. I'm dreading the teller line.
@@BTinSFmy local bank, put in a coin machine, when you are done, you get a piece of paper with the total amount of the coins, then you take it to one of the bank teller and they give you the money in bills.
Most stores in my area of Vermont takes a check or cash only, unless you go thru the self service section.
@@marydavis5234 Yes, some banks have those but I read more banks are removing them because of the cost and you can only use them if you are a bank customer. There are also ones in places like Walmart but they take a cut of the total, something I don't want to pay. As far as I can discover, my bank doesn't have these machines. There is a nearby credit union that has one but I'm not a member.
@@marydavis5234 Really? In 2023? I have for several years been able to use credit cards even in rural Arizona farmers' markets and farm stands thanks to Square (now Block) card readers that small merchants can use attached to a cell phone.
Had a friend lived in Germany as a bar tender lol 😂 gossip is universal not local every country does it since the beginning of our humanity… 🤓
Germany's land size is about the same as Montana's land size here in the states. Colorado is the closest total land area to the UK size.
I gotta say it: If she loves living in Cincinnati, she really ought to try some other parts of the country because my guess is she'd love some of them even more. Not bashing Cincinnati--just reality.
I don't entirely agree that it's not your concern if a close friend seems to be wasting money when they don't have much. If you really care about someone and you think they are doing something self-harmful, I would try to find a way to discuss it with them.
Only “self-harm” is living in Ohio 🤣
@@garglemeceemen2991 My niece lives in Athens, OH because her husband works for Ohio U. and she loves it so I'm not so sure about that. But even within Ohio, Cincinnati has a bad reputation these days.
@@BTinSF I'm sure about that, in that it's wrong. I was born/raised in Florida but spent 10 years in NE Ohio. I absolutely loved it, and I still miss it. I've been back in the ninth ring of Hades (Florida) since 2020, but I was glad to be close to my family during the shutdown. *Stuck in Ohio* is not a bad thing. 🙂
It’s a balance. Sometimes half-empty can see potential pitfalls of ideas so a bit of both might be good to discuss.
Just a suggestion. Why don't you do a reaction sometime on the old American west. Gunfighters, outlaws,bounty hunters Pinkerton detective agency etc . I think you'd find it interesting. Lots of interesting characters.
Idk how people can be so negative towards you two. You guys are some of the nicest most accepting people I’ve ever seen 😭
So glad you guys are doing these videos I found you guys about the same time I found her really enjoyed both of your videos. Thanks and keep it up.
I live right across the River from Cincinnati where Feli lives
Every person is unique, you'll run into all kinds of personalities no matter where you are; it's important to be flexible.
You should watch Geography Now about america
Convenience is more widely available in large cities than is in more rural areas. I live an hour north of Duluth & about 3 hours from the Twin Cities metro area. Our grocery stores & Target close at 10pm. Walmart was open 24/7/365, but now it closes at 11pm (not enough customers - only people who were monkeying around late night. Most gas stations close before midnight too. I have relatives in central Wisconsin & the town is mostly farmers - everything is pretty much closed by 9pm there.
We have had a drive up cash machine (ATM) in a neighboring town since the late 1980s - it's was in the mall parking lot (there was an ATM inside the mall too). There's a newer one at the mall now. One of the banks has a driveup ATM on the other side of town. My town has a lane for the atm next to the 2 bank drive thru lanes. The other bank has an ATM inside a little room on the side of the bank.
I love Feli's videos although as an American I don't always agree with her but your comment about friendliness is interesting. In the US friendliness depends on where you live and if you're in a major city or not.
For instance, you mentioned that in the North of England for the most part people tend to be more friendly as opposed to London. That is exactly true here with regards to say New York City and the Midwest where Feli lives.
NYC is like London in that it's go, go, go, and kind of harsh and in your face environment. Whereas, the US Midwest is famous for their politeness and easygoing nature. I love the Midwest sincel my wife is from Green Bay, Wisconsin and it is just the friendliest place I've ever been to include Canada, just sayin'...
I agree. Michigan here.
1:10 Yeah, the channel used to be called "German Girl in the US" but someone else had that title, and made a big stink about it, so Feli changed the channel name, and the old videos have the original name blurred out.
Love your videos. You all are a very sweet couple.
Here’s a good question for you :)
I love my UK brothers and sisters, but have always wondered why a lot of you drop the “h” from the beginning of words (ie ‘ello, ‘inge, ‘orrible”), yet pronounce the letter itself as “haitch” - adding the sound to the start of the letter…
It's called an accent....
Yeah, I also wonder why British people are puzzled when Americans drop the "h" from words like herb, when do the same with a lot of their words.
I do this all the time. I grew up on the island of Newfoundland off the east coast of Canada.
One of the UA-cam channels I watch which is located in Vermont gets comments about how he says words like button, because he drops the second 't' and says "but-un". He said It is just the way people in his region speak. The whole US talks differently, like southern accents and places like Boston or even the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. It is fun and interesting to learn about people I think.
In 1994 I took an accounting class at our community college where the professor, who could have been from India, had a very distinct accent and it was pretty difficult to understand what he was saying. Also met some very nice Chinese classmates that were very nice, too. I am sure they probably had some difficulty understanding me as well.
When the person’s talking about driving up to the atm, I’m pretty sure they’re not saying it’s beside the road because they’re not here either. They mean can’t you just drive up to it in the parking lot & just stay in your car.
I'm 1/4 German so this was very interesting to watch especially the part about justifying purchases because I do that without thinking sometimes. I think it's just in my DNA now that I have watched this.
Lol @ 1/4 German the fuck lmao I am 3/74ths Russian now I know why I like striped shirts it's in my DNA
Philadelphia is pretty German as far as influential culture in the region. That's a good move for her. Makes sense.
Fyi i dont lend money. I would rather consider it a gift. Then there is no awkward payback phase. Large amounts of money... ill do it twice. If someone asks again, i offer to sit down for a mael and discuss what and if i can help them get things together for them . So that asking to borrow money is not a frequent thing. Hopefully help their quality of life get a little better. But thats just me :)
Thanks! I had no idea that these opinions existed.
I have followed Feli since before she changed her channel name (reason for the blurring you saw at start of her video) and I am just amazed at pretty neutral accent. I know a few folks from Germany and their accent is far more detectable than Feli. Enjoyed your reaction video.
Regarding the cash machine (ATM). I think that is very much related to the ridiculous amount of space we have in the US. We have the walk-up version, but at many banks there will also be drive-thru lanes for transacting daily business, as well as 1-2 dedicated lanes for drive-thru ATM's.
In the US 100 miles is daily commuter in some places.
Curious.. Do you often chat with folks at the grocery store? As an American I can have a friendly conversation with a fellow shopper almost every time I go shopping. It's small things, like " can I reach that for you"? (I'm tall, so if I see someone having to reach I always ask if I can help them.)
You are the type of person I love to meet in the store, being 5'3", I have sometimes had to step up on a shelf to get to something above. Thank you.
@@leahmollytheblindcatnordee3586get a collapsible back scratcher for your purse. That’s how I reach the top shelf. Or did before my granddaughters took it. Haha
I do not realize how bless I am .
As a teenager I would drive 250-500 miles in my car every day.
The thing about nit pickin'...unless she has lived in every state it would be difficult to generalize.
I'm of Asian decent born in America. I love my country. Yes, we have problems and not perfect but we are a free country with amazing natural beauty! Proud American!
I love her shirt in the back ground Hawaii my home Yessah🤙
In Seattle, Washington state, USA, Drive through ATM means you go in a bank's parking lot/car park. On one side of bank there is a lane or two with a cover. And a machine you can operate from car, or walk a few steps to operate on outside of bank.
In the North East , such as, New York City, it may be truly drive through because of space limitations.
However, it is often safer to use one inside a bank or store at night or on the weekends to avoid crime.
If your glass is half empty or half full, obviously, your glass is twice as big as it needs to be OR only half as big as it needs to. It is not your problem. It is your glasses 🥂 problem.
I actually don't recall getting bad customer service in Germany, the UK, or anywhere else in Europe.
One of the things I do that a few of my friends who are from other countries were kinda weirded out by is I've always just stopped and complimented someone like walking down the street if I see someone who's wearing a cool shirt or has a nice hairstyle or something I will say that's such a cool shirt or I love your hair lol and of course they will say thanks even tell me where they got the shirt at or tell me why they got the hairstyle and we will have a short ten or five minute little exchange lol my foreign friends always ask if I knew that person I'm like no lol
Customer service varies from one store to another. For example, most stores like Walmart etc. if you ask an employee where an item is, they will usually point you in the right direction or the you what aisle, ie; aisle J3 or whatever. In Publix supermarket if you ask, not only do they tell you the location, they will lead you there and help find what you seek. If they're out of it, they can usually tell you when it'll be restocked. Love our Publix stores.
Granted I don’t shop at Walmart often but I have had an employee escort me before. IMO the places that are most likely to have less than great customer service are high end boutiques.
Difference is, at Walmart it's a rarity for an employee to do that. I've never experienced it at Walmart.. I have a hard enough time finding someone in Walmart that can speak English. I've shopped Winn Dixie from time to time all my adult life, I'm 68 and only once did an employee escort me to the item in question. That was recently. At Publix they always do it, everytime.
As a lifelong Ohioan like Felicia is now No wonder she has a good outlook on life, have you Seen Cincinnati's Skyline? I think its that Overlooking Approach traveling on Interstate 75 entering Cincinnati that makes it more spectacular but who knows 😂Sadly makes Toledo's look like the slums of LA. 😂😂 enough dissing my City now 😒
Why can I as an American understand Feli better than the Beesleys? haha
Why Not ? sure...
I drive 90 miles just to go to the city to shop.
Losing contact with friends.. it's a two way street
These things work if you are of a certain age. Especially connections with people. As an older male no one is going to invite me to hang out for a game night.
My family is definitely German 😂
Thats so Bavarian... West Germans are open and friendly you can talk to anyone anytime.
What city should I visit? I’m American and am very outgoing. I don’t like to be around a bunch of sticks in the mud.
@@anndeecosita3586 Cologne very nice people.
I really enjoy watching your videos. I look forward to them. But please, please increase the volume. I am hearing impaired - partially deaf in both ears. It is very difficult to hear when the volume is so low. Thanks.
American football in London the Baltimore Ravens play the Tennessee Titans October 15th will you attend to see a NFL game.
ATMs are not road side here but you can drive up to one at your bank
Where is here?
@@petethedete the US.
I think she’s in Cincinnati. I have cousins in Cincinnati.
One of the things I liked about this video is that it included things about Americans and not just the US. I feel like sometimes these videos are like 5 positive things about the US and 5 negative things about the US, and are really 5 negative things about Americans.
Like the positive is the space, the weather, the geographic diversity, etc., (maybe with a "feels like the movies" thrown in), and the negative is *insert laundry list of why Americans are bad*.
I have a love hate
Lationship with
drive up ATMs. One time I started to put a check into the slot and the wind sent the thing flying. One of the bank employees got it back for me. I’ prefer direct deposit. I usually use my debit card for purchases. I I have a check of any sort I electronically scan it for deposit.
Do people not ever pay you in cash?
@@anndeecosita3586 not really.
As for the first one about openness and friendliness... it genuinely saddens me a bit to think that the whole world isn't like this. Anywhere you go here, be it the grocery store or a concert or a park or a gas station or even just walking down the street, you can talk to pretty much anyone and even if they're not particularly nice or in a good mood, they'll probably still talk to you or help you with a question you might have. I can't imagine living somewhere where that's not the case, society would feel so cold and distant to me. I have friendly conversations with complete strangers pretty much every day!
It is where we come from in the USA and we grew up open and we feel free to talk. Many in Europe especially Northern Europeans including England that most of them are not used to doing that with each other unless they know you well. Sometimes when they have plenty to drink, they are very open but beware of the bad mood ones. I would say they are in a bad mood because their day was not good plus they are like that with their friends too in company. I find people there want to talk and got many of them saying they love how freely we talk and how kind we are to them. They wish they were like that but they are not unless they are intimate with the person. They want to they say although they are not used to it. Out of their comfort zone feeling they are not sure how to react. If you make them feel at ease, it gets better. I have long life friends from there now from living and working overseas. Sometimes they wonder if it is an act and many Europeans say that from not visiting here. They think it is fake until they come and visit. They found some people in cities were kind too like in NYC going out of their way to help them. I know it depends on the fake. Some people are but most people are genuinely nice here. I think most Europeans are too in another way. I think many Europeans feel if they talk to other Europeans or Americans freely like we do, they would feel they were disturbing them or being rude but in reality they would like to do it and like people who are genuine to do that with them but they are mostly unsure on how to do it without disturbing others.
@04:08 are they talking about me????!!!
Feli is fair and you can tell she loves the us, Diane Jennings on the other hand…
I just saw a video (scary viseo about the beast of Jersey) that showed footage of Jersey. Man! Its beautiful! Wanna trade countries for a bit? Lol
Love her channel
I'm surprised that there is actually 10 things she likes...😮
Why?
Millie, I feel I must do it... I must complain about the complaints about the complaints of complaining!!!!!!
/hmm, I have no idea what I meant, either.
Shoot, I was wrong. Maybe baby boy will come this week. 💞😍💞
Love you guys, but I don't watch reactions to her videos anymore. I'll catch the next one 👍
The only time I had a hard talking to someone was on the train with a small group of black girls. I think they had a bad experience with white people. I love all races of people
Yeah the individual thing is kinda nice. I love Japanese culture but don’t flaunt it in public because it makes me feel like a huge nerd but it’s a more private thing. I have a nice collection of Japanese things around the house and it looks fine. It’s a lot of anime and cultural things that are just fun to have around. The shopping isn’t that bad as fortunately the stores use bags you can’t see through and it’s perfect for keeping people from seeing. It’s really hard to find any Japanese culture in the UK or France as it’s not easy to find a decent store that sells Japanese things. The states that isn’t a problem as I live in Florida where there’s a few places I frequent for this stuff and it’s tasteful you know and it’s actually nice to have something to look nice.
You've got a huge interest in Anime, I suspect.
I find it a bit funny that what she’s saying about Germany I might say about the US. And I can almost guarantee if she weren’t as attractive as she is, her experience would be different. Her fluent English with very little accent helps, too.
The attraction she draws doesn't have as much to do with her looks as it does with her personality. She's not closes off amd snooty. She is open and kind. She attracts that energy.
If she were some blank expression having introvert who never wants to make eye contact and loathes small talk, well.....🤷♂️🤷♂️
@@ChristopherX30 Attractiveness includes personality.
I'm American, but honestly I feel like I would fit in pretty well in Germany. I'm very logical/practical and speak very directly. I also hate small talk. I feel like my personality is more like a German's in some ways.
