yeah that's a joke austrians love to make. just like australians love to make the joke "i bet they think we're upside down!" actually we don't really think about either of your countries that much... would love to go to newzealand or belgium though
To be fair as an American I would much rather go to Australia than Austria though. At least Australia didn’t give us the worst human being in the history of mankind lmao
Met Americans that had a friend that wanted to visit South Africa and wanted a few tips for her. The ladies plan was to arrive in Johannesburg and start hitch hiking immediately when she landed to explore the city and country. Immediately told them that’s the worst idea I ever heard of. On your own is allready an awful idea. Also outside OR Tambo airport there is not a dirt road leading to an elephant sanctuary with rainbows and zebras frolicking it’s a 3 lane highway in a dangerous area 😂 The absolute ignorance was mind boggling
That plan leads to raped, robbed and murdered, in to particular order. Terrifying to hear! South Africa is a wonderfull country to visit. Experience or really thorough research is essential to your safety here.
@@edp3202 Hi. That is a very tough question to answer. I would start with, asking the owners or staff of whatever establishment you end up staying at about risks in the local area. Do your best not to look like a tourist. No big fancy cameras. Use your phone while being aware of your surroundings and stash it back in a pouch that is secured to your body. Never take out cash in public unless it is in a restaurant. Millions have visited South Africa and left with a positive experience. Common sense will take you a long way. We have a lot of beggars here. If you choose to give them something, keep five rand coins in a separate pocket from the rest of your valuables. That is enough to help them out a bit but not enough to make it look like you are rich. Avoid going to restaurants after dark, again depending on where you are and advice from the locals. If you do decide to visit, I'm sure you will find the country full of beauty and lovely people if you just do some research.
I have been through lots of SA, Burkina Faso, DRC, Ivory Coast in a mining job... there are parts of Joburg and Cape Town that i didnt feel safe in a Land Cruiser with large 2 armed guys (friends). In Burkina Faso our work party of 3 was greeted at the airport by a 4 vehicle rolling motorcade, one with a guy standing on the back with a mounted heavy machine gun, loads with rifles and all carrying pistols. Once we started driving and i said to our site contact "what the fk??" he said ISIS were active in the region. Longest 2 weeks of my life.... im not a racist person by any means but at least 20% of countries throughout the world are NOT to be messed with, you are a meal in a jungle full of hungry predators, not some Disney movie
@@ONETimothy2.12-14 but we weren't among the most powerful as far as economy or empire. We didn't really hit a stride until we sold weapons during ww1. We couldn't even fund our own wars until the 1900s.
A friend of my did a tour in Afghanistan and despite how horrible serving there was he did say that the landscape was really pretty at least where he was stationed. That being said, I'll just take his word for it. No desire to see it myself.
Maybe go see the Dolomites, French countryside, all the hundreds of civilized beautiful places first. Once you've done all that go through the slightly less safe places like Bulgaria and Romania etc. Once you've spent a few decades going through the thousands of relatively safe beautiful places...maybe then you can go ahead and consider bad ideas if you're so determined.
@@pistonburner6448 Wow I Googled the Dolomites and wow those are beautiful. I will say though there are very few beautiful things in the world that you can't also see something similar in America. For sure not everything but most. Like with Dolomites we have Castle Crags which is right next to Mount Shasta and that just one example off the top of my head. Unless you're super into European history there isn't much you can't see in America. BTW I'm NOT a ra ra 'Murica person. Just saying that if people want to see most of the beautiful things in the world then one BIG trip to America would be pretty amazing. For sure do your research first. There are plenty of dangerous places here and places that are just a flat let down.
As someone who has been to all post-soviet Stans except for Turkmenistan, I need to say something. I don't recommend Tajikistan at all, Kyrgyzstan is only for people who want to go 100 years back in time and breathtaking nature, and Kazakhstan is alright but nothing too special. BUT Uzbekistan is stunning, not for the nature, but the historic cities of Samarkand, Bukhara, and Khiva are worth the trip. The locals in Uzbekistan are pretty welcoming, and the new generation also speaks decent English. However, I do recommend learning the basics of Russian before you go, you'll need it eventually. As for safety, the only country I did not feel safe in was Tajikistan. The Kazakh capital also feels odd depending on where you are, but all other places are totally fine. (I went last year)

That last video doesn't deserve to have the immortal "Resonance" playing in the background --- the song you direct everyone to when they ask you, "What is synthwave?"
The reasons Americans think they can go anywhere (well let’s be honest, it’s just rich people) is because they never grew up around any sketchy shit and in general most western culture is open to free flowing travel. Like I could move to Portland tomorrow and be accepted. They not used to a group of people literally wanting them to die for coming to their country 😂😂
I've traveled a little and frankly it's not nearly as dangerous as some seemingly want to believe. Most people just go about their day and don't cause issues. Having said that, when things do go wrong they can go really wrong. Like that Hmong comedian that just got killed in Columbia, tragically (honey trap, kidnapping). Or one of my fellow countrymen (a police officer no less) and his girlfriend who got kidnapped in Pakistan (govt paid 20mil for their release after a few months). Or those two unmarried Australian youtubers who got detained (rather harshly for quite some time) for camping out in their 4wd which they thought would be cool... in Iran. Turns out they don't like unmarried couples sleeping in the same room there. Who would've thought? Most situations can be averted by not being dumb and naive. It used to be very popular to take the hippie trail aka the silk route into India. Hippies did it all the time in the 60s and 70s. Land route via Afghanistan. There's plenty Land Rover enthusiasts who do London to Singapore (or to Sydney) overland. It's quite a classic journey really.
@@mysterioanonymous3206 you are right , people in general are nice with humble strangers , specially far away from the cities , any bad hood in a big capital from the western world is more dangerous than Thayikistan and pakistan rural areas
I like how the title seems to imply a surprise that Americans only seem dumb when traveling. I went to school in the states and was the only one in class who knew American history trivia.
I have lived in 6 foreign countries over the last 25 years and most tourists are stupid not just Americans. If you go to a border the taxi driver was doing you a favor taking you to the closest city and not dropping you off in the middle of nowhere. The world is not like the U.S. where you can just go anywhere. I lived in west Africa, South America, Eastern Europe and I’ve never been robbed. Why because I know where not to go and try to blend if.
Legion of Skanks plays a live show inside The STAN every week-but the wifi is terrible in the People's Democratic Rebublic of Manhatten With Big Jay Gomez, Dave Smith, and Luis J Oakerson.
I just realize how American Christina and Tom are. Thinking that the isolated places in the world are super dangerous. There is only one country in the world where the odds are likely you'll be chopped up in a van by a random lunitic, on the rural highway and it's in your country. This video is imploding on itself it feels like. This is actually pretty hilarious. Many of the stan countries are amazing.
Yeah, nah... America is far from safe in many areas, but the stans are NOT safe by any measure. You have no protection and no recourse in countries like that because they are dictatorships and NOT friendly to western nations and have zero tourism industry. Are you really claiming that Afghanistan is a safe place for an American to just stroll around?
Too many men will never admit it, but when a chick takes control and fucks YOU for a while until you go back to fuckin HER, there's somethin bout it. And don't no chicks fuck back harder than cholas...lord bless em🙌

We don't have democracy and freedom of speech and gdp is really low so when somebody sees an american they see dollars and wants to charge more than normal so these are all relusts of bad politics, our people aren't necessarily bad, but you are not wrong, though

@@mysterioanonymous3206 you are right , people in general are nice with humble strangers , specially far away from the cities , any bad hood in a big capital from the western world is more dangerous than Thayikistan and pakistan rural areas
I love her jacket - who makes it ?
Here I am excitedly waiting for September to embark on my 10 day tour of Afghanistan 😆
Freaks me out she’s calls him bro and dude hahahaha
The problem solves itself haha
There’s similar views in Colorado and Utah.
Tom and Bort please move your dudcast to one of the Stan counties.
Pamir Highway? Road to Dushanbe? What is this? Spies like Us? "You know what they say about this type of holiday; меньше знаешь - крепче спишь"....
Y'all think everyone from the west is a spy.
I like how the title seems to imply a surprise that Americans only seem dumb when traveling. I went to school in the states and was the only one in class who knew American history trivia.
2:06 lmao every military base
I have lived in 6 foreign countries over the last 25 years and most tourists are stupid not just Americans. If you go to a border the taxi driver was doing you a favor taking you to the closest city and not dropping you off in the middle of nowhere. The world is not like the U.S. where you can just go anywhere. I lived in west Africa, South America, Eastern Europe and I’ve never been robbed. Why because I know where not to go and try to blend if.
didn't realise Christina grew up in Compton
Legion of Skanks plays a live show inside The STAN every week-but the wifi is terrible in the People's Democratic Rebublic of Manhatten
With Big Jay Gomez, Dave Smith, and Luis J Oakerson.
Is this a plug. Nonone likes you luis.
If you’re a whitey, just walk through Compton at night wearing glowsticks, and blasting techno.
I’m sure you’ll experience something adventurous🤣🤷♂️
I just realize how American Christina and Tom are. Thinking that the isolated places in the world are super dangerous. There is only one country in the world where the odds are likely you'll be chopped up in a van by a random lunitic, on the rural highway and it's in your country. This video is imploding on itself it feels like. This is actually pretty hilarious. Many of the stan countries are amazing.
They don't have school shootings in the Stans 🤷♂️ But we like to pretend like everything's peachy here as if thoughts & prayers heals bullet wounds
Yeah, nah... America is far from safe in many areas, but the stans are NOT safe by any measure. You have no protection and no recourse in countries like that because they are dictatorships and NOT friendly to western nations and have zero tourism industry. Are you really claiming that Afghanistan is a safe place for an American to just stroll around?
They need to watch Kurt Caz and his adventures. That guy has no F's about these places lol
Is that the guy that will go to places like Columbia where the cartels run the villages and he just hops on moped rides throughout these villages?
While I agree Kurt does some insane shit, he is also not textbook white lmao. He's South African White, that's a whole different tier.
He is the morden day Ghengis Khan
Her music choice screams, I'm from the west coast of the USA, probably California.
Went to school with her at Sf state lol you’re spot on
Fatina is a Hungarian Canadian Eastern Bloc American so she would surely know.
I bet ever since Mama Christina found her inner 'Chola' , Tom has been getting shown who the real boss is. Especially while making marital loves. :))
Too many men will never admit it, but when a chick takes control and fucks YOU for a while until you go back to fuckin HER, there's somethin bout it. And don't no chicks fuck back harder than cholas...lord bless em🙌
bahahaha don't go to any STAN lolol im dying,,, 😂😂
Christinas coat looks so uncomfortable and itchy lol
Ok, so the level of ignorance in this conversation is literally equal to those TikTok videos.... All Americans are the same😂😂
We need a new reality show - Chinese vs American tourists "Who can piss off more locals"
They have the Hindu kush mountains at my local dispo
I think it's more like, look I got my picture taken with a tiger and I'm a douchebag.
Have you seen the Afghanistan ones? I'm surprised more people don't go missing.
idk why they tried to make it look like they didn’t completely script this segment in the beginning with christina pretending not to know what tom was talking about. she way over sold it and even tom was like wtf 😂
“Listen listen ( Linda)”
Hit me back, just to chat, truly yours, your biggest fan, this is Stan.
I am from Uzbekistan
The reason why you have the perception of us like that is because of our leaders, these people in authority are really old who have seen and lived communism. We don't have democracy and freedom of speech and gdp is really low so when somebody sees an american they see dollars and wants to charge more than normal so these are all relusts of bad politics, our people aren't necessarily bad, but you are not wrong, though
Can you imagine american road bicyclists taking up the whole road on their bikes just getting demolished😂
The songs is “what once was” by her’s in case the mommy’s need to know🤝🏽
Just because I went and pissed on the Eiffel Tower doesn't make me stupid... it's a good start though.
yeah, we call them poverty safaris in Mynamar.
Especially if they have to check a bag
Lmfao I love this video 😂😂😂
You are right about the stans, except for Kazakhstan.
