We Visited America And This Is What We Hated 

haha

I love your videos♥

Didn't expect i would see one of my favourite animators here lol

Nah. You build your cities for people but around the 1950's you demolished it for cars.

ok@@Frahamen

I haven't been and this is exactly my thoughts. I come from living in the largest cities in Europe and Asia. I want to see some urban stuff in U.S. but I think what makes it special is the incredible world class nature 😍

@@ferahl American cities are not particularly interesting, the nature however, is indeed quite lovely. there is no city in the USA that i would say is worth a special trip to. there are many areas of national forest and parks that are though. There are so many exciting parks that there are many different road trip routes one can take that go between nature based points of interest.

thats the only reason i want to visit. that and maybe the food.

@@gergogaal568forget the food. It is by far the worst I have ever had

@@DK-ty5ue where are you from?

People should see Desert of death, Forest of doom and River of screams.

@@dimitrijenikolic6602 Are those in Disneyland?

.... Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Come to Jesus Christ today Jesus Christ is only way to heaven Repent and follow him today seek his heart Jesus Christ can fill the emptiness he can fill the void Heaven and hell is real cone to the loving savior today Today is the day of salvation tomorrow might be to late come to the loving savior today John 3:16-21 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. Mark 1.15 15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel. 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. Hebrews 11:6 6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Jesus

@@CheetahNL It is a mystery!

Yes. The National parks, especially the out of the way ones, are Americas best idea. but even in crowded ones like Yosemite you can travel away from dense areas (the Valley floor) and find yourself alone on a summer weekend.

Yes, you will get to see the U.S. that many Europeans find endearing, unlike the tourist traps and dirty cities.

or Strawberry in RDR2 ❤

I just googled Port Townsend and it really does look cool.

Well said. I would suggest go to some historical sites as well. I recommend Gettysburg/Antietam. They are close to each other and you cannot, CAN NOT, "understand America" without understanding the Civil War. For Texas, skip Austin and go to San Antonio-same reason as above. Instead of NYC go to Boston or Philly. Avoid LA, and go to San Diego.

I came here to say the same thing!

It would be a two hour video if we listed things we hate about the states.

Same here

Why?

@@praiserdusty did you watch the video?

oui c'est vrai. c'est la même choses pour des tas d'étrangers qui viennent a Paris et sont déçu ensuite.

Good point, I think that's true for any place you hype up in your mind before visiting. It's like thinking girls don't shit and being disappointed when you find out they do.

Plenty of nice places outside the cities.

in a nutshell: don't get overhyped :)

Why would you write a comment in french when the video is in English, about an english topic and the conversation has been written in English... Do french people lack common sense or is that a you problem???@@user-bn8iz4il7e

fair point

Even if he's experienced in Prague, he doesn't know enough about US.

well video is about what they hated sooo

Yup. But "things I hated about America when I visited twenty years ago" doesn't have quite the same ring.

@@pinkonesie Yeah, but "We visited...etc" with the current footage is a lie, or casually deceptive at best. Someone slams your home and holds up footage from 20 years before as evidence? WhattaYOUgonnado?

meh... I've been in NYC really a lot in the 2008-2012 (I know, it's been a few years since :) )... Most of McD still looked like a dumpster and would be the last place for me to go only if I'm extra desperate. Lots of bums inside, wasted toilets, etc. But no more neon - that's true.

@@geekytraveler5899 I went to a McDonald's near Penn Station. A bum asked me for money for food and I gave him the cold shoulder and said no. A local guy was generous and bought him some food though. My burger was also cold and sloppily put together.

🤣

😂😂😂

That sounds like a busy 5 minutes of questions.

lmao

Very True!❤

Little? ;)

I read this comment before watching all the way through, so I was like "how the hell does he take Finland into this?"

@@100euronjuusto Finland has been on top of the list where people are free from worries about their 'well being'. This translates to happy, but Finns, and their country, have some dark times too.

@@dutchman7623 happy?

@@superslash7254 Finland has the top ranking in the: World Happiness Report 2023 And has had this position for many years. It is well deserved! But happiness cannot be equaled to 'being happy' or 'joyful'. A common mistake.

In public places you were disappointed??? //Laughs in Eastern Europe// 🤣🤣 They allow smoking INSIDE in most restaurants and cafes, it's pretty crazy to me and also smoking cigarettes? At least weed gets you high and it smells decent... tobacco and whatever else thr fuckin tobacco companies decide to put in it, does not smell good at all.

That’s because most Catholic Cities the plaza was built around the church. Enjoy the variety. Not every country is the same.

@@VikingUffDa I’m not criticizing it. I’m just telling what I saw. I like my home city with its Catholic structure, and I like my new home, Toronto, just the way it is :)

This is only what they hate. There is a video of what they love also.

@@taraem5573 Yes, I know... went to same places. lol

absolutely true. Go searching for the worst and you are guaranteed to find it

I don't think it's quite the same, though. The touristy places in Prague are still amazing - it's just that tourism and the exploiters and cheaters who live on that tourism ruined the experience. I remember it before that happened (and to be fair, a lot also improved since then). The worst parts are also quite small - usually, all it takes is to move a street or two away. But I always struggled to understand why anyone would find Times Square interesting, for example. It's just a dirty dump full of advertising and bright lights. I've never been to Las Vegas, but I imagine it being much of the same. It feels like it's trying to hook 9 year olds :D Advertising sucks. You know someone is making the decision "we could make our services/goods better or cheaper... but we can just pump tenth of the money into advertising and get bigger profits". It's not really good for you, it just tries so hard to make you feel like it is. And yeah, cars make cities awful. I hope we learn to depend less on cars. Hard to go against the current of the massive propaganda from the car and fossil fuel industries, of course. It's the main reason people are so closed-in and scared in the cities - one, cars are actually ridiculously dangerous (not to mention the secondary effects of breathing their emissions)... and two, they empty out the streets (not to mention ruin them). There's this things where an empty street is fine, a street with plenty of people is fine... but when you're walking alone in a street and meet one stranger or group... it can be really uncomfortable. And I'm already really sick of how all the women react when I just randomly meet them in the street, because they're just so scared. I remember when people used to say McDonald's is a "safe spot" where you get the same product and service all over the world. I don't know if it was _ever_ true... but it certainly isn't today. European McDonald's is still overly sweet and salty, but it just doesn't compare to UAE, Bahrain or the US (I hear it's also very different in India and friends, being vegetarian and all that). And no, our ice cream machines are never broken :P

By this logic people shouldn’t visit Prague because it’s a touristy city. In the video it’s shown exactly what it it’s, that outside the touristy spots these places in USA have nothing else to offer

* what the writer actually meant its because its affordable for the average American to visit Europe.

@@florin-alinbalasa2829 Pretty sure it's more affordable for the average European to visit Europe though :P Probably easier than the average American can visit the rest of America.

@@florin-alinbalasa2829 That's not even remotely true.

@@florin-alinbalasa2829 I mean, depending where you go, are we talking Switzerland or Portugal? One thing is true, travel prices in US skyrocketed. Also US is better for nature, but not for the cities.

Where have you been so far?

Well, remember there's much more than Prague

Be careful when feeding nutria, recently they put in place a security company that calls the police when they see tourists doing this.

In May, that means You are going to see some of the Ice hockey championship matches? There will be many Finns I guess and full bars and restaurants. 😄

Ohhh I was shocked how bad HELLsinki look like - its even much worst that the worst cities hit by structural changes in Czech republic(ex coal mining area cities) - i could not imagine that any place could be and look much worst - but da da daaa HELLsinki(Fin) or Malmo(Se) - that was a HUGE SHOCKER for me ... Never ever again!!!!

I’m stoked to visit Tampere and Oulu eventually :)

I haven't seen a beautiful Mcdonald's in years. We used to have nice really big once with slides and stuff but during covid especially it seems like it was all taken down.

I’m half Czech and VIENNA is so similar for me and what shocked me is that in the summer they have free water tanks where you can drink from in the city

Austria is truly a gem! Although some parts of Vienna are definitely getting worse every year.

Basically everywhere I have travelled in Europe has been super clean. Even in poor countries the cities are clean. Meanwhile last time I visited my hometown in the USA there was garbage literally stacked everywhere. Sofas and mattresses dumped on the side of the highway, roads absolutely falling apart...ugly dirty cities and no one can do anything about it because it would cost .5 percent tax hike to have a budget to clean the city. It was a depressing trip.

I've only traveled a little in Europe and yup, I have to agree. Much cleaner there.

I live in Europe and I don't consider most places all that clean at all. But, I come from New Zealand.

What American country are you from, if not a secret?

@@user-sz3rd5qk9l You mean state, right? Or are you talking about America, the continent?

@@LeotheJapaneseLion9890 , hm-m... That's kinda on @teresak0507 . I guess it's a on of the continents or part of the world! %)

I went to Reno and saw all the same type of problems seen in Vegas. I was eating lunch and looked over to a bank of slot machines all in use. Not one person looked happy to be there. Several looked bored. Left me with zero interest to return or try Vegas.

Hahaha I'm going next week for a show, but the thing is I live in LA and it's a hop skip for me. A lot of people here go for the weekend to just gamble then come back. Vegas is different if you have a lot of money too.

@@lauxmyth The weird thing is that people even feel that it _might_ be appealing. I understand when you're hooked and fully addicted, you can't really stay away. But how did they manage to convince people that _starting_ that is a good idea or a nice experience? Though of course, it's _everywhere_ in advertising, in product placement, a huge number of American movies... Endless propaganda and advertising, just to get you hooked - and then they win. It's the same in European "casinos" of course. Especially the slot machines. You really see that they hit something the human brain is not ready to judge properly (though don't forget that the Skinner Box experiment only "worked" with mice who were already completely disconnected from their society and friends, and even then it was a relatively rare result - well adjusted happy mice tried once on twice and ignored the "levers" from that point on; much like most people do with drugs or gambling). You don't see the same thing with, let's say, pool. People actually enjoy that, even though it's connected to a lot of the same problems like pubs, alcoholism, smoking, betting... the activity is actually something people enjoy, not just something they do because they are compelled to. And it's scary that the video game industry actually managed to get quite the foot into the door of this too (and would have been entirely in if not for some hasty regulation in the EU). The people building and promoting such things are utterly despicable.

The entire place is designed to get you to spend money. That's it.

@@kgal1298 Many tourist places are different if money can flow.

So, the parts not built by humans?

​@@SergioRamirezLuelmoI'm glad you know what parks are.

​@@SergioRamirezLuelmobruh, there's a lot of human involvement

​@@vladimirkorshunov7734 I am not even Finnish, but I wish your forecast became true as soon as possible for all of us.

But sometimes you want McD.

How do you like living in Prague? I’ve enjoyed visiting, but living there is a different experience I’m sure.

@@jolynnmarie7701 I hope you will came to Poland , too :-) Poland is neighbor of Czech

Come back!!!!!

😂 true

Are you sure about that? Have you taken the public transit in major cities like New York, Chicago, etc.? They’re filled with disgusting and inconsiderate people. Why would you want more of this? 🤦‍♂️

Many US cities used to have electric trams / train systems. Torn down though.

Every single city except New York City is basically unwalkable and is just a giant highway with massive parking lots between every building

I can't stand the push to get rid of vehicals. City planning has ruined tons of cities by making them unlivable, not alone unwalkable. Lookin at you SF (Tenderloin).

Only in a thousand years 😂

Having moved to Canada a few years back I find the whole concept of city planning around cars very interesting. They spent trillions of $ of PUBLIC funds to build roads, parking etc., all so that some PRIVATE companies can sell a car to you, which is powered by oil supplied by PRIVATE gas companies, oh and you also need auto insurance offered by PRIVATE companies. It's especially bad in the US considering how much they hate communism and yet spend all their money on roads and highways so a small group of ppl stay rich.

@@sadmanh0 I wish the US would spend its money on roads like it is supposed to. Instead it is wasted on wars and embezzlement.

@@Dansker_fra_Midtjylland Life happened and I needed to be near my family. I won't say it here, but just unexpected life events. I would love to travel extensively to Europe again though!

The thing I hated about London was no real centre. It has a number of disconnected areas - Parliament, the theatre area, the Tower etc but no real centre. It took me quite a while to try and get used to that. I came from Sydney, which has a magnificent harbour, with the Bridge and Opera House, which gives that city a great centre.

@@wolemai that's probably due to the weird history of London with a city within a city and then all the burrows they have.

i also see that that way in Czech Republic but i think its the opposite way. the worst places form around the touristy places, not the other way around.. So the problem is on both sides

You'll need a lot of time & money to see the USA. In my country its like 4K $ for a few days in NY.

@@florin-alinbalasa2829 Why the hell would anyone want to see NYC? That's like staying in a nice hotel just so you can look at the toilet. 😁. Yosemite is the best of the US. The small towns of America is where the heart lives. 99% of the big cites are not American. I'm proud as a 62 year old American to say that I have never been to any of these dirty places.

@@roderickrayrutledge2740 At that point I could just visit Canada and have a superior and cheaper experience.

@@roderickrayrutledge2740 I don't deny, Ray, but that's what has been shown to us, eastern european block, in the media. Especially after communism era. Skyscrapers, big houses with no fences, those big ass trucks, etc etc.

I have been to Texas this year (unfortunately not West) and I was really disappointed with kolaches. Maybe they are better in the Czech shop in West? 😀

I'd like to try it in person, but from what I have seen it is a far cry from the original fare.

There are plenty such establishments in the Chicagoland area.

Damn good cup of coffee and a mighty fine Kolache.

And museums that are dotted all over the country.

Man we want to go to disneyworld. But my first impression is: Its very expensive. Like two to three times as expensive compared to most disney land 2 park combos. I thought, okay we as a family were in japan for 3 weeks. Lets look for a week disney world with hotel and dining in florida. But its like as expensive as 22 days japan including hotels and dining. and 2 days disneyland and disneysea xD. I did not price in flightcosts. Are there some hacks? Did i miss something xD? I just does not sound like a good deal. I think i have to dig into it more.

Disney is expensive, but it can also be enjoyable. There are 3 keys to enjoying Disney: 1) go in the off season, 2) just accept that you're going to spend a fortune 3) plan, plan, plan. We spent 4 days at Disney, and 1 at Universal last spring and really had a great time, but it was a slow time of year, we paid for the lightning lanes and fast passes, and we planned out our days. In the end, we spent almost no time waiting in lines and saw everything we wanted to see. We also spent a fortune, but we had planned for that. I can't understand how anyone can frequent that place on a regular basis, it's just too expensive. But for a once or twice in a lifetime kind of trip? Absolutely worth it if done right.

@@Buggiy Well since the food is expensive and you don't really need to eat then just don't eat. Big savings.

@@l4kr best. tip. ever. :)

Totally agree with you, I've been 8 times and I'm from the UK, you have to do your research, don't go at the busiest times, plan plan plan everthing and make sure you have a dining plan, it will save thousands !!! You can't visit DW for one day, TOTALLY CRAZY !!! if you do your research you would know that, it's 42sq miles !!!! every time i've been there I always go there for at least 2.weeks, there are 4 theme parks, 2 water parks, Disney Springs(shops, resturants and bars) and a sports park.

That was his point 😄

Oh, they'll go there but only if there's an event going on that they want to go to. Or perhaps they work at some place there. heh

Nashville is only for girls having Bridal showers/parties.

Yes. If you want to find an elegant town square, do not look in a megatropolis.

What do you recommend seeing in New York?

@@idnwiw​​⁠​⁠Ellis Island/Statue of liberty (one can easily spend an entire day just there), Central Park, MOMA, the Met, WTC site (including the beautiful new PATH station). Those would be the ones to hit first. Though off the beaten path, the tenement and transit museums are also cool though admittedly a bit of a niche. Observatories like the Empire State Building aren’t bad per se but the cost is rather outrageous anymore. In general I don’t consider them to be worth it with all the price increases, though admittedly I’ve already gone, decades ago now. Still the Empire State Building is probably the one to go to.

Is the same in the tourist hotsptos of NYC and LA. Prague is a huge city with lots of interesting spots. Just because you hate chinese and wont use your brain to look for the rest of places in there, it means is bad.

not true. they go wherever they want bro

If you're from Canada it wouldn't be too far to travel to Duluth or Bemidji Minnesota, you would be Surprised at how beautiful they are and not overcrowded by out of state tourism.

@@oldbum Canada's a pretty big place, so I guess if 2000km qualifies as not too far... Though it seems "nearby" on a map, since we don't have a direct flight to Minneapolis anymore, in the amount of time it would take to fly to Minnesota, I could be in Amsterdam or Costa Rica - places I do have direct flights to. And in the amount of time it would take to drive, I could be almost anywhere in the world. And even if it was quick to get there...I just took a bit of time on street view for Duluth, and it looks like pretty much every other city of its size on this continent, with the added bonus of an interstate running along the waterfront. So I'm not sure in what way it disproves my "everything looks the same everywhere on this continent" point.

@@JBoy340a Building nationalism around a corporate brand owned by a multinational corporation, which in turn is controlled by a Brazilian hedge fund? That's just another example of the sameness I'm talking about.

Exactly. We have one tiny strip of street that managed to maintain some quaintness (although still ruined by cars and they never bothered to expand this design nor did they actually bother to put local amenities like a local market in them) and it is FLOODED with tourists now. Like it isn't even that special, but the US is so bad people make the trip.

That's essentially what every city in the US is like outside of New York and maybe a few I haven't been to. Definitely everything in the midwest

@@gentronseven According to youtube, that's all North American cities except Montreal, New York, and Boston. I'm gonna guess Vegas and Dubai are a few steps worse than the average though, both being in deserts and grew really rapidly/strangely.

Go to Kissimmee, busch gardens or wild adventures if visiting flo

it really depends on what town/city, what state, population, etc. stop generalizing (sempre tem um vira lata igual vc, é incrível)

You're talking about your city, not Brazil.

I had a colleague who went on a business trip to Rio de Janeiro (or maybe Sao Paulo? Not sure :D ). The first thing he was told was "never go anywhere on your own; whatever you need, we're going to pick you up with a car" :D

Yes, there's so many good parts of the city.

Yep get out of the city and head out to highway 1 and drive south to Monterey/Carmel or North.

You don't want to go to Silicon Valley unless it's for work.

And Brazil too!

@@albertoalmeida3424 É só ladrões nesse país

Well i think a lot depends if you see the country as 1st world country like US - then you expect clean cities at least. I bet Mexico has some beautifull spots but most of the country will be poor

No, they had a great time in the US, on many visits actually. This is just a video that lists their worst spots. You should perhaps watch their other video, where they list their best spots in the US.

And Janek actually loves New York. He just doesn't like Times Square in particular.

There is limited westward expansion from Old Town, for obvious reasons.

We have these order machines/screens here in the Czech Republic for several years too. However if you want to order normal way, you can as well. :)

It's not like Janek was talking about Europe as a whole, you had to mention Ukraine. This shit is the same in nearly all countries on the European continent + likely Asia too. Just stop with flaunting how Ukraine has basic shit like everybody else like it's some kind of luxury. Get some help.

That's exactly what I thought, its not like every McDonald's is a garbage dump, and most of them have been remodeled in the last couple years, if you're going to a dirty city like New York, you're bound to find a dirty McDonald's.
