honestly, with all the negativity surrounding us culture, it’s really nice to see someone point out the nice things about it. even if they’re small. positivity is so much more constructive
I mean why people actually are negative against US is because they act like they are superior even though the only thing they have better then others is a military and almost everything else is way better in other countries
@Mekehl never said we were perfect. i literally just said it’s nice to acknowledge the things that are nice since everything else is so negative. some of us like to look at the bright side for the sake of mental health
Madi, are you american! i love US culture so much! if youre american, i know that you guys are very nice. actually, my best friend is american. and ny other best friend is from canada. some things i like about american culture is that america is very full of different people. i like that they are very nice and loud. its true they are loud but i like it. because i am shy and my friends are outgoing and it helps me open up. and a funny thing, americans are interesting, they come up to you and compliments you and say "lets be friends" jeez, this will never happen in my country. and i like the southern accents. i discussed it with a few people. apparently a southern accent in america is not a big deal, but honestly to me it is very nice and attractive. and, americans dont ask me why i ask so many questions. im interested in learning so much. if i have a question about what a word means, they dont ridicule me or tell me to go away, they just answer and tell me. and i am learning english since i was young but i still make mistakes. so its nice that they help me, so im actually getting way better every day. i dont hate america its full of kind people. but i worry that they hate me. but luckily my friends understand
I’m from Europe and have backpacked through quite a lot of countries here, and when I met Americans in hostels during my travels they were always so easy to connect with. They’re really outgoing people and seem a lot more open to strangers than Europeans. We tend to be more guarded and have a more wait-and-see attitude. It was refreshing to see a different approach.
Oh my goodness, my step grandma and her friends are all from different places across Brazil and Chile and they are the LOUDEST women I have ever met! Fun at parties, but so dang loud, lol
fr they have no shame, like i saw some people working construction on a building next to mine and they were blasting Spanish music on the loudest speaker in the world to wear even the other buildings 100ft away could hear it easily
I'm from Brooklyn, where strangers rarely acknowledge one another. I once went to south Carolina and multiple strangers said hello. At first I was suspicious and uncomfortable, but after awhile I started to really appreciate it
actually in restaurants, we aren’t even loud unless it’s for a reason and pretty much everyone is being pretty quiet, but there’s usually just a lot of people
I agree! People complain so much about America and I’m sick of it. While I personally hate the government and all that political crap, it’s not that bad of a place to live in. Aside from the loud and annoying people, hahah
@@lttrhd the whole world doesn't live here, do they? in fact I think it is safe to say that the majority of the world doesn't live here. all in all, it's really not a bad place. people are friendly and outgoing. the downside of having an outgoing population is some people get a little too far up on their high horse and think they can diminish the lives of those around them. it's an inevitable consequence. but most people are super polite and considerate.
Things as an American I don’t understand in this video 1: girl please your in a bar also my social anxiety could never have me talk loud 2:dogs are adorable
The best thing about America. It's great that strangers talk to each other. It's ridiculous that people in other countries say that life is boring and lonely but don't talk to anyone. I'm Japanese.
being loud in restaurants is normal for me (probably because i grew up in minnesota) and the one time i went to a remotely quiet restaurant i was like 😨
I come back to this just to feel special. The US is so massive and has so much going on I forget about the other countries and cultures so to see someone not adapted to something I didn’t even think was a culture, more so just normal living, is eye opening.
Where !!! Show me, I'm so sick of people being so isolated in the street ! I'm from the French speaking part. Though some of my family is from SO. Is it villages ?
@@albertv6054 Im guessing by atleast 60% of Americas suburbs aren't a paradise where you can step outside and say hi, and get a cup of joe with fellow buddies all while pointing at the sun expecting a bright and sunnny day.
@@CrookProductions1 it’s more or less cause people want to be the loudest. I’ve caught myself doing to. In the cafeteria and all of the sudden I’m yelling. And then the whole cafeteria will stop talking at the same time and then it’s back to normal voices
@@whwjsjhsj you can try saying thank you that’s so kind, or something like that? It’s a return compliment without feeling like you’re on the spot to say something about the way they look as well ♥️♥️♥️
Californians are so laid back and friendly! I was taken aback moving there after living in the Midwest for my whole life. Never before did so many people just come up to causally talk or compliment me. In the Midwest everyone seems so bitter and closed off! 😅😆
I've been to the US twice and I really loved it! I went to Texas, Georgia, Tennessee and Kentucky in the South and I got that Southern gentleman and hospitality which was NO lie, people were so kind! In the North East the second time I went there for NY and NJ and people were very witty, sarcastic and funny, which as an Englishman, I found quite splendid 😂 In all honesty, the US is a great place in the small communities. I felt safe to be honest. Obviously I would take precautions wherever I go, but I didn't feel insecure at any point. Try focusing on the positives sometimes, Americans. It will do you good once in a while. Love, your friendly Atlantic Neighbour Englishman ❤
@@blywillfly6926I reside in Southern Missouri, in the Ozark Mountains plateau. Beautiful hills and cattle farms. When we bought our home, the block was majority rentals; now we are mostly owner residents, and the improvements made have been very favorable, very pleasant for friendly neighbors
❤ Yeah I agree. There's so many wonderful things about American culture that go unappreciated. People always want to have a go at Americans for things the individual has little control over (healthcare, education, guns, etc.) and take for granted their successes in film and music.
@@danielsiegel8619 Hey, I went off on one when I saw your comment earlier because I'm a bit sick of seeing divisive comments like that, but deleted it because it was unfair. If you saw it, sorry. You didn't say enough to deserve that amount of criticism. Have a good day.
It’s actually refreshing to see a non American talk about American culture without bashing it for once. Tho I can’t say in those cultures it isn’t justified Edit: bruh what the hell happened it’s been 5 days
@@thisnameistemporary6434 it’s not that serious as I’m seeing some people make it. Most Americans on the internet especially TikTok hate America themselves
Your right, it is refreshing. I get the hate, but in 300 million people there are bound to be bad apples. For the most part it sucks to be told your country is shit all the time, because while it isn’t perfect I *do* live here. Sometimes it feels like US stereotype is “the worlds trashiest modern country”. Occasionally I like to be told different; for my own sanity.
@@adios5072 America is kinda going to shit but its still the only free country i dont like the amount of entitled people here though and how peoplle tend to focus on all the small problems but not the big problems also uh its now becoming a thing that apparently only white Americans are racist and im like..i miss the time where as a white American i wasnt scared a black person would shoot me because i looked at them wrong or because of my skin color ive not ever been racist yknow In the non city areas everyones pretty friendly though and i see a bunch of different races and learn different cultures which is really cool apparently a lot of whites are stigmatized ive been told “yknow for a white person you arent as hateful as the media says” and im like well why spread hate theres already so many unnecessary riots and division over this and that idc if youre nice to me. In summary: the majority is shit because the cities arent very nice and believe too much media. In the country but slightly busy areas you get a diverse culture and really friendly people there are a few entitled karens but thats everywhere.
@@DrDunsparce While this is true, a large portion of introverts DO have social anxiety, which causes them to be introverts, but it's so common place they're seen as the same.
But kids grow up, and might become some sort of backup or insurance in old age. Dogs, on the other hand, would have been long dead and forgotten about, which makes this whole child/dog comparison quite absurd.
@Banned Again has nothing to do with first world or not loudness is still a problem in some cases and can damage hearing and make others uncomfortable.
@Banned Again bro can you calm down it's literally a joke. And just because it's not a severe or life threatening problem doesn't mean it's not a problem
Out where I live, “Hey how are ya” or “hey how’s it going” is a common greeting for strangers. Conversation rarely goes past that point but it’s interesting to see
You’d be surprised how many americans are the same. I, as an immigrant, always praise america but my american friends say otherwise. I keep telling them youre in the best country to be alive in in humans entire existence.
Immigrants usually view other countries like this in a wholesome way. I remember hearing as a child about places like the US and Japan. Trust me, you're more than just fat people and guns!
"Less sticky" this is how I know you were joking, because that is 100% not true. Stickiness rate, mystery gross substance rate, and having to say "what are you eating? NO DON'T EAT THAT" rates are all about the same in children and dogs.
@@kucibaba love to hear that! ❤️ we love and appreciate everyone that visits or immigrates here with that sentiment! I hope you feel welcome back anytime!
I was in northern ireland and smiled and said good morning to a stranger who did a double take because they were so suprised but a couple weeks later had the whole town saying hi to me when l got groceries.
@@pepehimovic3135 I was thinking that about Southerners when she was talking about strangers saying, “hi.” My girl would be trying to find the restroom in the grocery story and be pulled into a twenty minute conversation and be invited to a chicken stew. I bloody love the South.
I remember as an american visiting the UK I had to dial down my habit of making conversation with strangers at the grocery store, even the cashier, because I kept making people uncomfortable 😆 I had no idea that complimenting strangers or making conversation was something out of the ordinary!
No. Keep doing it. You're the foreigner in a foreign land. Own up to it. The only reason you should stop is if you are an actual threat; otherwise, you are contributing to the diversity of character that they invited by letting you in in the first place.
@@Zeero3846 Lmao I completely disagree. If you are moving to a country you had better learn the native customs and culture. Refusing to assimilate is bad for society. While you obviously do not have to discard your own culture, as they say, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do."
@@Potacintvervs that’s weird because in America, people are always like “be acceptant of others cultures” and “embrace diversity” and stuff like that, so why would an American have to act differently in another country?
I've had so many full on conversations with strangers. You feel like they're your best friend until you walk away and you realize that you don't even know their name 🤣😂🤣
Same! I use to have bad social anxiety but my new school that I moved to was way bigger than my small school where everybody knew each other. I went into choir as a second elective and it helped me become more confident and comfertable! It's always nice to receive or give simple smile, hello, or compliment.
it really depends which part of china you come from. people from villages or the northern city are usually louder than the southern people. west china is usually pretty quite as those are usually the tibetans and buddhists. The westerners are different though. People in SF are usually louder since they moved directly from china rather than was born in the US. The Canadians are kinda like that but they tend to be quieter and calmer. People from Taiwan seem pretty reserved but tend to be pretty judgy. People from Hong Kong tend to speak quiter but may be loud in a crowded setting.
@Z oh yeah, i heard way too much about Cantonese speakers being the loudest. but I feel like every Chinese talks that way in my non Chinese country lmao
For a person that has lived in a small US town, everyone is nice to others like in my town we have this common wave which is you put both your index and middle fingers up while you’re still gripping your steering wheel
I wanna meet no Americans too so I can teach them be as well 😁😍🤗. I remember when my ex ex told me that ppl in his culture... like to fart under covers & & force that person to stay there bc it's a dutch oven... & That's how Americans tell each other we love each other...
You’re a smart person, don’t doubt yourself, doubt your inaction. If you keep pushing forward and putting one foot in front of the other, eventually you’ll finish the race, and if you keep the right pace, you’ll come in first. I believe in you. Don’t give up now.
I live rural and it’s pretty much automatic for two drivers to wave to each other when passing on backroads and in general when you are moving slow enough to see each other. Gotta love that small town US charm
@@finnleyhaggett3768 I love living in a town of only 250 and we wave at everyone we see when we are walking, driving , riding horses even if they are from out of town
During my study abroad in the UK, I realized that as someone born in the US, I was spoiled on two counts. A/C and restrooms. Eta: I'm not replying anymore, read the comments.
@@OuchingTigerLimpingDragon A lot of stores just don't have restrooms at all. Also, at several fast food places I went to, they had a keypad on the bathroom door that you had to type a code from your receipt into to prove you had bought something before you could go in. It's not like the US where you can just run into any given McDonald's or CVS and use the bathroom. A lot of weird, old toilets and facilities, too, because many of the buildings themselves are just older.
Nepal, and India seem to have lost the purpose of how that 'foreign toilet' is supposed to function! Their toilets are a hole in the floor. They slide into them but I never figured out how they wear their clothes to make this easy to do. However, even in the airports there are our toilets with no seats. Awkward. And no water in the back tank because they turn it off! They have little spigot if your lucky, and a cup to 'flush'. The water tank has been used as a trash can. The public ones around Katmandu were horrendous! When they don't turn on the water to fill the tanks, or don't know how our toilets work, expect the worst,...and then add to it! It was everywhere! Even in the sink! 🤢 Lepers begging in the streets, dogs, monkeys running around like squirrels. It was very dirty. Construction piles of dirt left in the sidewalk with a path worn through, mountains of garbage piled high with a sprinkle of green for the 'holy cows' to eat it. That was in 07 and head they were negotiating a garage pick up after I returned. I wanted to kiss the ground when returning back to the States. Thank You God! 💌 No offense to any Nepali or Indians, it was what it was! If you don't appreciate the States, you haven't traveled enough. Go see how the rest of the world lives before you criticize the U.S.! You can always live elsewhere! Just sayin' 💌

She sounds Eastern European. I'm English and a Polish family moved into my street. Over the weeks I got really frustrated at the way they just stood and stared. No smiling, no waving, just staring, it seemed really unfriendly. When I eventually told my daughter she said Eastern Europeans don't have those small distraction mannerisms like pretending to rummage in your bag or look for your phone, or even pretend to be engaged in removing fluff from your clothes when people are passing. They don't have that, so they just stand staring 😁 I felt a bit a little better after that!
I live in Belgium Toilets in stores, even big stores are not common, rarely even. Public toilets in general just on the streets are almost non existent, exczpt in Brussels cause there are many homeless people there. But still, every single public toilet costs money, around 60cents average. The saying hi only happens by old people, cause it used to be common in the past i guess, but not anymore i guess. The grabbing coffee standard you see in movies (and apparently in reality too), is not common at all here, coffee stores that only sell coffe don’t really exist. People are more quit, it’s considered rude to talk loudly in public places (except for children ofcourse).
If you go on one of those sites where foreigners post about experiences visiting/living in America. They all talk about how friendly or helpful strangers are and Americans obsession with line etiquette.
The small town thing I think is pretty common everywhere, you're sometimes considered rude if you don't greet strangers lol but I'm glad to see it's a big thing in the US too!
I live in Switzerland and here it’s considered very rude if you don’t greet each other. Especially if a teenager (like me) doesn’t greet older people. Some even get offended. But luckily you don’t have to do that when you’re in a city with a lot of people. I lived my whole life in a village where you HAVE to greet people. It just feels wrong if you don’t. And if they don’t greet you back your kinda disappointed haha.
@@roselamoure I've heard that of big cities like Paris and London too so maybe it's just a little culture difference. Like in my town everyone knows 80% of everyone else so you just greet in any case bc it's better than analysing if you've met them before or not lol 😂 but I can imagine if you're surrounded by strangers it might be strange
@@blue0325 exactly my situation as well! I was very shy as a child and said a tiny hello or a smile and my mom always scolded me and said people think I'm rude for not greeting properly 😅
I didn’t exactly realize people don’t say hi to each other. Whenever I walk to school I will say hi to at least one person walking. Its pretty cool that people are just kind enough to do that! Edit: Omg I didn’t think I would get 955 likes that’s crazy
I've never been to the US, but I've seen the same in France, Germany, Sweden etc. People in smaller places tend to greet you even if you're a complete stranger, so it's more like a universal thing and a nice one, really.
Here in the U.S., we would at least smile to someone walking by us. I'm more of an introvert but I always wave our smile at strangers, it takes some of the tension away.
I'm Moroccan and my dream to live in America and speak with the language I love, also communicate with others, without forgetting starting a new lifestyle like a new experience... ❤
@@bernardosanchez5954 the USA has a pretty high crime rate. Guns are given to citizens to protect themselves, however, someone can easily abuse such power in their hands.
Yeah. Well thankfully I don't have to deal with that cause I don't live in America. People in my country just mind their own business instead of just walking up to a random person and talk. Idk to me that sounds kinda weird tbh.
A lot of this was filmed in Down Town Los Altos. I literally bike there almost everyday. I was probably at the food court while you were filming that lmao
Same, honestly. Where I live, the smaller the town the longer the conversation. Town of 5k? You smile, nod, maybe say “good morning” or something. Town of 100? Get cozy cause you’re gonna be stood on the side of the road talking for the rest of your life.
I’m so tired of people’s lack of manners. I wish I could move out of Miami. I want to go to a small town and live life like I intended when I moved to this country.
Im swedish, and when I went to LA I got complimented twice about my shirts and it made me really happy. I miss how more open people seemed to be in the US, in Sweden people really just want to be completely left alone majority of the time. Which I mean, I like too.
I'm Spanish with family in LA for me was the opposite actually. Here in Spain we greet people with 2 cheek kisses so I when I got there I tried to do so to my cousins (born and grown there) and they seemed quite surprised lol
My moms from Sweden so we’ve travelled there several times and I adore it. But yes I feel my energy is even loud in Sweden, lol. Amazingly. A few years ago I was in Malmo for a few weeks visiting my uncle. I was outside the hotel having a glass of wine and approached by a guy from up north who asked me to go to Ziggy Marley that evening because he had an extra ticket..was amazing.❤️
It makes me so happy to find a positive video about America. I had to watch a second time because I didn't know if this was a negative video and I just didn't catch it.
I remember when i went to America for the first time, when me, mom, dad and my sister looked lost there were always people approaching us to ask if we needed directions. Really awesome!
Lol, I was in London and injured my knee and needed to go to hospital and I was crying quite loudly (I was like 10 at the time), the entire time we were there, 1 man came up to ask if we needed help. Everyone else just minded their own business.
Americans are amazing. I love their mindset and their way of living because they are so practical, friendly, hardworking and smart as well. Thats how they became super power all alone

It’s interesting to see people’s different reactions to things we have here. A lot of people are off-put by strangers waving at them, while some people like her are excited by it. Same thing with customer service, some find it weird and not genuine while others are pleasantly surprised.
It's next to impossible to block it out but I just go with my experience. Not the one that people on TV with narratives try to bash me over the head with everyday. It's the greatest country on earth. Or else we wouldn't be the most sought after country to move to
