We don't throw a hurricane for everyone. You're special!
Underrated comment. Hell, LA doesn't even just rain for anyone.
@@mycroft16 👍😁
Facts it was clearing the air for them
note that in the Pacific Ocean, they are called typhoons. Although that wasn't a typhoon, just a heavy rainstorm. 🙂

Seems it never rains in Southern California
Seems I've often heard that kind of talk before
It never rains in California
But girl, don't they warn ya?
It pours, man, it pours
--Albert Hammond, "It Never Rains in Southern California", 1972
Loved the bus tour guide's honesty about the current conditions living in LA 😂 He was gold
yep. I can't imagine LA./Cali being a tourist destination still with how bad it has gone downhill. Hopefully they get to visit other areas of the country as well
Yes LA is a total shytehole
Yeah. Kudos to the bus tour guide. A lot of them have no personality. They just drone on about whatever is on the list. This guy made it sound more personal and fun!
@@Mikel3564who wants to go to a flyover state
@@Mikel3564They went all over the US. Great seeing them finally take a trip over here.
Sam: "I don't even know what the speed limit is!"
Me: "Nor does anyone else; you'll fit right in. 😄"
I love you guys!!!!
Sort of like how stop signs with white borders just mean stopping is an option.
@@2010mtaylor1😂 From Michigan and my grandpa had a whole wall of his barn covered in street signs! No two were the same and they were from all over the US and Canada! He was in the army and drove trucks most of the time! 😊
I just made a similar joke about the turn signals. I didn't realize that someone had beaten me to it. 😄
@@Osprey850 😄 That's very true, too! No one knows what a turn signal even is these days.
@@2010mtaylor1Having grown up in LA and lived there for 45 years I can say that the speed limits, posted or not, are minimum speeds (if traffic allows it). If you’re not doing 80 in a 65, the highest speed in urban areas, you will be run over.
I’ll say it again and again, but it is so surreal to see the NZ family in America enjoying the vacation you went on after these years of videos and reactions and anticipation!!!! God bless y’all!
Now we are itching to come back!!
Come out to San Francisco and I will show you where to go and where not to go. Oh . . . I will take you on an insane food tour!
@@yournewzealandfamily FWIW, Durango is a state in Mexico and a town in Colorado.
@@yournewzealandfamily It's hard to beat the sunsets in the western states. They usually are not nearly so dramatic, say, in Illinois.
@@yournewzealandfamily Argh! Now my mouth is watering for Mexican food, but it's 2 AM and all the restaurants are closed.
Great video! You guys remind us Americans of how much we take for granted. Welcome to the USA and thanks for visiting us.
Facts!
I'm from Texas, but I get proud of other states (like California) when people visit from other countries. California is an amazing place to visit. I've been there three times, and I'm always impressed.
The guy talking on your tour bus had me rolling!! 😂😂😂 HOLLYWOOD Brutally honest bus tours. Lol .
Lol. Yeah that guy was telling it like it is.
wanna be actor.
yeah truth in tourism who could believe it! he was great!
#facts
@@hifijohn Even those actors now considered stars have started with either waiting tables, tour guide or washing dishes. As long as it keeps the light in the fridge on... Being an actor anywhere isn't as glamorous as people think it is. Let alone in Los Angeles. They did strike for a reason m8.
The tallest pole flag in the USA is in Sheboygan, Wisconsin. Standing 400 feet tall, it flies a 70x140 foot American flag, which is visible for miles on a clear day.
Not sure how tall the flag pole in Dorris CA is ("tallest in the usa"), but that is tall at 400ft! @@eurekasquared9853
@t-bone3599 you stole my line! 😂 When I was little my two favorite cities were Sheboygan and Walla Walla Washington, just for that reason. My niece liked Machu Pichu. I have a weird family lol
Please convert to the metric system mate.
Just kidding.
I hear polka is very big in Sheboygan, very very big there.
Best one's I've seen was in Dallas, giant Texas and US flags along the highway.
the mexican food simply ROCKS in california. great to see you all loved it
my best friend moved to florida recently, he said california mexican food is untouched lol
You got that right!!! 😁😎👍
I had a friend from Guadalajara Mexico said that Mexican food in California is better than anything she's ever ate in Mexico. Same with a friend from Massachusetts.
Yeah, and I bet the sushi sold in an L.A. 7-11 is better than anything you can get in Japan. Your friend should lose her Mexican citizenship. 🤣🤣 @@twerkysandwich64
@@twerkysandwich64 That's because the Mexican food in Cali is a mix of the best food from all over Mexico.
That tour guide was a hoot. Nothing like truth in advertising. Looks like you all had a wonderful time. Looking forward to the next vlog.
I remember taking my brother to LA and he was shocked that it wasn't glamorous but a dive
You are possibly the cutest family I've ever seen. Great job guys!!!
I genuinely don't think I've had so much fun watching a video before!!! I am loving getting to see y'all's reaction to the U.S.!!!
This family deserves everything they’ve gotten! They’re good and kind people and they show us what life should be about! Always happy, smiling, laughing, and enjoying life with their family. Over here you have to worry about so much because you get judged for everything
@@jaelynn7575People who judge others usually need some major help themselves
Kudos to Denzel for braving a roller coaster
The look on his face is saying get me off lol
Curious if they went on the big one at DCA.
It looked like a Ferris wheel to me.
@@jovetj They started on the coaster then moved to the Ferris Wheel. Was hard to tell with the edit.
Lol, been there. The coaster and Ferris wheel pale in comparison to Magic Mountain or Knotts Berry Farm
I take so much for granted living in Cali. It was so much fun to see it through someone else's eyes.
I'm LOVING the car rental comments. We're from the US and got to visit New Zealand last March. When we rented a car, we made the same comments only in reverse!! So glad you enjoyed our country. Yours is wonderful as well, we loved our visit there!
I live in LA and have been to New Zealand twice. It's really great to see my city through your eyes. You have my admiration for driving in LA traffic straight away. I had the same anxiety when I first drove a rental car in Auckland. Cheers NZ family!
LOL yep me too. Driving out of the rental car lot onto the streets in Auckland for the first time was nerve wracking as hell! My brain was screaming at me "THIS IS SO WRONG! YOU'RE GOING THE WRONG WAY!!"
Same with London.
I find drivers in LA are pretty courteous for the most part. I was in Los Angeles about a month ago and really saw only one aggressive driver and he had Arizona plates, I find drivers to be much more aggressive in the San Francisco Bay Area. As far as driving in New Zealand or the UK, I would be scared of turning onto another road and, by habit, reverting to driving on the right hand side of the road.
I work at In N Out, the level of excitement you guys had made my day😃
In N Out is by far the best fast food burger chain on the planet...nothing comes close. I honestly can't think of any other chain that is beloved by so many around the world as In N Out.

🤣Denzel eating his Mexican food, "We have been in New Zealand for so long and this has been here all along!" Too funny. Looks like you had a good time in spite of the very unusual storm. Hollywood is such a bitter disappointment. You would think that given the huge landmark and attraction it is, they would do more to make it worthwhile to see but they sure don't. Loved the inclusion of the entire trip from leaving home in NZ to your arrival in California, it was so fun to see your excitment.
Hollywood is great. You just have to get out to the studio tours.
Well said @@GoofysHatBand
@@GoofysHatBand There is so much more to see than the studios, that is only one aspect of Hollywood. Most people want to see the Walk of Fame, the Chinese Threatre, the Dolby Theare, etc. but that area is dirty and filled with homeless people and other things you really don't want to see when you are on vacation and wouldn't expect to see in any case for such a high profile area They city needs to do something about making it something to see because people do want to see it. It's such a disappointment and frankly, an embarrassment.
@@colleenmonfross4283 Around Hollywood and Highland, there are not many homeless people but there are too many scamming buskers.
@@colleenmonfross4283Ive been saying the same thing I legitimately don't understand it. The leadership in california makes me sick. They must not have a single ounce of self respect. That is a major tourist attraction and they are making us all look bad to everyone who visits by allowing this to happen. Its infuriating
You 4 are about the happiest family I have seen on video. Don't change!
There’s something so wholesome about this family coming to America and reminding us what’s great ….💕💙🇺🇸❤️
I loved their video showcasing the history and making of the Star Spangled Banner. I instantly fell in love with this family. They’re more patriotic and more appreciative of America and its history than many Americans. Regardless, it warms my heart to see a family that are so enthusiastic, respectful, and so appreciative of the United States and its history. They definitely do their homework.
LOL "I can't find the indicator."
My friend and I went to NZ back in 2000, I still remember the windshield wipers coming on every time she was trying to find the turn signal.
And it's different in every car! My wife's car and mine are on opposite sides.
I don’t think it’s a foreign thing. Every car has different controls. Heck I always forget how to use the wipers on my mom’s Jeep
Seems like most people in CA these days can't find their indicator so they fit right in
So glad y'all got to experience LA on a clear and sunny day! Next time you're in town, I would try to head down the coast to Orange County (laguna beach) for some classic social beauty. It is always so refreshing to see y'all focus on the positives when there are so many people focusing on the negatives. I am a California native, and so happy to see my beautiful state explored.
Adding on to this, Orange County also has some of the best Asian food, especially Vietnamese!
@@aznmochibunny Hell yeah we do! Garden Grove!
Also in Orange County CA, try the food truck tacos in Santa Ana CA. BOMB!!
Where are you from? No one in Orange County says y'all unless you are from somewhere else. But glad you seem to really like it here. My grandfather came through Oklahoma as a kid, he used to "worsh" his clothes. As a kid I didn't understand until I got older and understood dialects.
As a Military Brat that was born in Hawaii and lived in San Diego California and South of Jacksonville Florida and done a road trip from coast to coast... there is so much different stuff to see in the US. One of my favorite parts of California to see in person is the Sequoia National Park. Pictures just don't do the size of those trees justice. Well worth seeing.
Your family is so precious and lovable. It was wonderfully to see your reactions to everything. You’re all welcome in America any time!
An honor, to have you in our country. Welcome, to a beautiful family!
All the best tour guides will make you laugh and add their own flavor to things. You definitely found one of the good ones. Shout out to him.
I am so glad that our friends from New Zealand had a great time here in the great ol' United States of America!
James was a great tour guide. Very entertaining
I've been watching this family for some time, and now I am glad they finally made it to the U.S.
I’m so happy you guys made it to America for what is looking like the trip of a lifetime. It’s inspiring to me. I’m an American and lived in Philadelphia region my entire life and I think you’ve easily experienced more of America than myself. Look forward to the rest of the content
Loved this! When I was 21 I applied for a New Zealand work permit and flew from Los Angeles to Auckland to spend a year in your paradise. This was same trip, but through the looking glass.
For future reference turn signal, indicators, will be between the steering wheel and driers door, regardless of which side the wheel is on. Before indicators existed the drivers hand out the window was the indicator. That's why it's in that spot. Also on the fuel gauge face by the pump symbol will be an arrow pointing to which side the fuel fill is on.
Just casually kicking every ball in with a Seattle Sonics shirt on, the best! Love from Seattle
As an American, we are going to LA for the first time this week! From Michigan. So your video helped us 😂
I honestly started to tear up from your guy's excitement to come to the US. Thank you for appreciating us :)
The tour guide deserves a raise. He's great!
I wasn't a fan. He was clearly a transplant and didn't have a love for LA.
Sounded a little too ghetto
He sounded too angry. As if he hated LA. Strange
I was considering a trip out West just to meet James!
And for Oaktree1628, try being less racist, thanks.
@@devodavis6747 I have no idea what race he is, but you apparently not only do, but want to fly out there to meet him already. Whatever floats your boat.
We just spent three months on a trip of our lifetime to New Zealand. It took me over a month to stop panicking when I was driving on the left. But to drive on the opposite side in the States for the first time...in LA. I still don't like driving in LA. You are a brave family. BTW, We loved every minute in NZ.
I was in sheer panic the first time in NZ also. Took me a couple of days to get that the only dangerous drivers are chinese tourists and young people with cars that look like a gaffa tape commercial ;)
You manifested yourself to America. Congratulations!
Y'all are the greatest family. Mom, dad, husband, wife, kids and siblings, wonderful relationships.
You guys make me smile! So happy and enjoying each other so much. Welcome to the US. I hope your trip is enjoyable and you see only the good things the US has to offer. God bless you all!
So Glad you made it to the USA! Enjoy, and be safe!
Atlanta is starting to look so much like her mom! Both beautiful!
Agree 1,000 percent!
Seriously! I was noticing that too! Nadine seriously has a "Mini me". I really noticed it when they were at the top of the Empire State Building.
@@brendaS1533 Ikr 😂
Stopping by to say that we absolutely LOVE your content. Thank you for visiting the States. You and your family are an absolute joy to watch.
Love to hear the excitement in the kids' voices. That's what it's all about. :)
Won't lie, that was my first reaction to driving in Japan. "WHERE'S THE TURN SIGNAL?!" My shipmate was no help and he'd been there longer than me lol. Another aspect is the weather. I grew up in Orange County and that looks like weather we experienced when I was a kid. Congratulations, you've officially experienced an El Nińo season.
Not going to lie, see8 g people visit our great nation(even if internally we don’t feel great) gives me great hope that we can still maintain this awesome experiment we call America.
If you go to Disneyland two thing you should know.
First, when you walk in, you see a roundabout.
Look at the castle. It looks farther away. When you look from the castle to the entrance, it looks closer.
Because the Main Street is larger by the entrance.
Also stay for the fireworks, from the castle at night.
It was ALL fantastic, but Nadine's Chewbacca impression is the highlight for me. I'd like her to repeat that on all videos going forward. :) Thanks for sharing your trip!
I was born 75 years ago and lived in LA my entire life and you guys have done and seen so much more than I have. I guess if you live near such attractions, you figure you could visit them anytime.
It's beautiful to see your appreciation for my city and my country in general. There's too many ingrates living here.
I love all of this - so cool to see you all spending quality time together in a really cool place experiencing something you've always wanted to. My favorite part was Denzel: "We've been in New Zealand for SO long... (pause) AND THIS WAS JUST SITTING HERE!?" I was laughing so hard
Proud of little bro facing his fears on the coaster 🔥
and that has to be one of the tamest coasters in the country too. but i grew up at cedar point, Ohios only redeeming qualities in the summer.
I've only been to San Diego but I loved it there. It's cool to see all the US Naval ships sailing by. Looks like you guys enjoyed the tour and Venice Beach.
Sam-your editing on this…God-tier.
I'm so glad you came to the US!!! I think as an American I really enjoy watching the reactions from tourists. I think living here we don't realize just how great this country is. Your videos remind us that we are a great country!!! And your kids are the EXACT right age to make a trip like this!!!! Enjoy!!!
You guys are such an adorable family. Such a positive attitude and fun loving ❤️
Would dearly love to have you folks come and visit the Appalachian mountains. Us folks are known as "Hillbillies" because we ..... Live in the hills! But dude we honestly are self sufficient, have the absolute best food, fun and hospitality!! I think that your family would have so much fun spending a good evening with us enjoying our food, take a break and sit on the front porch with folks while enjoying a cold glass of sweet iced tea or lemonade, take a chew of tobacco and listen to mountain folk lore that has been handed down for decades.
We would love to have you visit with us!
That tour guide is the bomb. Best tour guide ever.
You guys are what most families strive to be like your family rocks welcome to the states and have a blast
I'm a long life(65) years, Cal. Native, you guys came during one of the wetests times, last year and this year, more rain than we have ever witnessed, much needed rain, hope you enjoyed your trip to the states.
I’ve been waiting for this one! I am so glad you visited my hometown of Los Angeles! It’s a really beautiful, and culturally rich place, and i’m glad I grew up here. Of course, it’s not perfect, but no place is :) I love you guys ❤❤❤
Yeah no place is perfect but California is beyond messed up now a days.
Please stay in California! It's the best place ever, according to you.
Thank you for taking us along. I don't know if these videos of your American trip became taxing, but I am glued to the screen to see some places that I will never be able to go to & experience. Enjoying your reactions to all as well. Main happiness is that you arrived home safely!😊
@@elainesrottenbottom296 stay bitter hater 😂😂😂
@@dabbadoo2226if everyone is moving out why am i still stuck in traffic?

I love how the tour guide kept it real. I was scared you'd be a bit shell shocked in LA. That's a tough spot to have your first American experience. Should check out Cape cod, or Martha's vineyard, White Mountains for camping. The Dakotas, there's alot of beauty to see in our country. Hope you come back some day and get a chance to experience some of the nature. Glad you had fun ❤
You buggers have some great parents And you dear parents are a true American family tradition in the making congratulations on your endeavors❣️
You guys forgot to go to the Seqoia National Park! The trees are the size of buildings!!
Watching everyone freaking out about driving on the “wrong side” reminds me of when my family went to Ireland last year. Driving on the right side of the car took every ounce of concentration for me. Great video.
Ive lived in LA my entire life so every time you guys experience culture shock I’m like “but that’s normal”
I'd love to visit Cali but nope, it's gotten insane and I'm glad I'm on the east coast
That was my thought too lol
@@pnut3844able Nice bait mate
@@badcornflakes6374 no bait, just truth. I've had several friends and family members leave bc of how screwed it is over there. No thanks
What a great family for this - not only the adults (who do a fantastic job) but your kids are such good sports - they're at an age where they could be shy or difficult on video but they really get into the spirit of these videos. Subscribed.
30yr+ Los Angeles vet checking in. Your family is adorable. Wish I'd gotten the chance to chime in while you were here... lotta off the menu stuff available here in LA. 😁 So sorry you hit during the rain: This weather happens once every 20yrs. It also snows at roughly the same frequency. Hope you enjoyed your time here!
I grew up in L.A. I wish you guys could see what it used to be. I left 12 years ago, and It’s nothing like the place I grew up in now. I have so many good memories, but I could never live there again. It’s so sad to see what it’s become. I remember Disneyland being such a magical place, there was always something fun to do, and I could walk around the city as a teenager without a worry. It used to be green too, which it hasn’t been for many years. I got engaged to my wife on Venice beach, about where you guys were standing. I wish my kids could have had the same experience I did…
Preach! I was SO lucky to get to visit LA in 2012, before it changed so drastically!
I was waaay more into the surrounding areas, and not the city itself.
Santa Susannah Park, The Knolls, Corriganville Park in Simi Valley were mind blowing experiences to someone from flatlands desert Texas.

So many things we take for granted, seen through the amazed eyes of first-time visitors. Wonderful. Thank you!
Always nice to see vlogs like these seeing people enjoy something ive grown so used to, makes me see America in a new light sometimes.
Watching these videos has made my day! Love you guys’ excitement!
Born and raised in LA, but now live in San Diego, so nice to see it from your perspective. I am always trying to talk my husband into leaving California but I do LOVE LOVE the geography and weather in this state. You have a beautiful family. Thank you for these videos.
I’m so happy you guys got to visit Los Angeles, California. My home town. I hope you guys had a good time.
Four legends in LA...what?!? So very glad you made it; can't wait to see the rest of your vlogs and videos. Cheers!
Thank you for bringing us along.
It brings back great memories of my family going to Hollywood when my children were about the same age as yours.
We had so much fun. ❤❤❤😊
I absolutely adore your family. I can not wait to watch all the rest of your videos from the USA!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thank you so much!! And we’re coming back in May, so lots more videos to come from that too 😊
They are all so cute, so grateful to you Lee and Team Asher! Question; Lee it would really be appreciated if you would consider using full screen, you can even on a cell phone!
Thank you for all you do.🐕🐶🐕🦺💕👍
I love how genuninely excited you are about every single thing. I appreciate learning about the subtle differences, such as the fire hydrants.
first time driving in the US and you started with Los Angeles...literally swimming with the sharks!! you did great, probably better than I would've done and I drive in Phoenix traffic every day! also...it's so RARE to find money 😆 glad you all had such a great experience!! you make me remember how great my country is and appreciate it more!!
You guys make me smile.....honest, and effervescent joy.
This video was great! I'm from St. Louis, Missouri and have never been to LA, you showed alot of cool spots! I'd make the trip just for the tour guide, he sounded like a good time! I love the content your family puts out and welcome to the States!
good job, parents! so happy you got to experience this with your kids... something they will carry with them for the rest of their lives! Happy memories!
You have a beautiful family. God Bless
Thanks for visiting and safe travels. I hope this reaches you and those you love in great health and happiness❤️🙏
Oh wow, it's been a while since I'd seen a vid from this family, and the babies have gotten SO BIG. I remember 4-5 years ago my own kids and these kids being so little and us (Americans) watching from Germany where we moved to live.
Have a blessed night/day, everyone, and stay safe!
Love that you shared your experience! Such a cool, fun family. Glad you enjoyed LA.
Your video actually made me emotional to see your family enjoying themselves in my home city. A city that is dying the joy that you were experiencing reminded myself of the joy I had as a child in the city when it was still a wonderful place to be.
Isn’t travel fun! I’m in my 50s but still get the same sense of excitement that you showed here when I go to new places! So fun seeing your wonder and joy at seeing America!
I love watching your videos and you have an amazing family. I'm so happy you guys made it to the States. I hope you enjoyed your trip and we made you all feel welcome.
My favorite part is how amazed you guys were for the ice room lol
I hope you enjoyed your visit to the USA! You are always welcomed!
Yall are so wholesome. I love it.
I’ve lived in LA most of my life and seeing the entire family get excited over things I didn’t realize I take for granted really made my day
I just want to thank mom and dad for letting the kids see all these new places because growing up i always wanted to go out and visit different places with my family but unfortunately we were poor and couldnt afford much so thank you for that
