in america like don't you get like stomach no no not at all that's why americans are so cool
hi i'm christina and i'm from the us hi i'm haley and i'm also from the us i'm hendrik and i'm from
germany i only went to the us once i visited new york for two weeks how is new york very impressive
to me so many languages different kind of people in like one city it's very busy yeah i think new
york has that right because um new york really not that it has people who are native um you
know new yorkers speaking multiple languages nah it's that's not the thing the thing is new york
actually comprises of a lot of visitors right so when you go to new york you'll see a lot
of people from all over the world i remember one time i was there and there was this asian guy like
literally i knew he wasn't from america he was asking me to take pictures of him and his family
right and when you look you will know the normal american new yorker or american who is
visiting new york but new york really actually is versatile in terms of languages for real in terms
of the visitors it's so high so i really like the manhattan how it looks like ah the skyline
because you know from all these movies and you're suddenly there in your own movie
for america my image always like the great nature and super big and very powerful military that's
right it's a very multi-ethnic like that's right from all over the world that's right germany is
also immigration country but usa for immigration much more diverse and i also grow up with the
hearing of the american dream i always like this kind of american mindset that you can get from
nowhere to that's right yeah that's right that's it's my image that's right pretty chill dude
accurate actually flying flag oh it's like we don't have german flags everywhere so national
pride is a little bit lower and america it's like they're wearing on their shirts that's right baby
right baby yeah we paint our bodies like it too why are you guys so proud of this company
it's i don't know like it's it's it's nothing really major because most people who um have
all these americans blah blah blah it's not even that you're proud of america they just it's just
a culture right and there are a lot of people who are way more patriotic in terms of what
they would do military stuff like that there are a lot of people in the american military who aren't
actually really in the military because they are i need to fight for my country i want to be here in
the case of a war i need to protect my people i need to be a police for this no it's really
the benefits that you get and such such that such right and uh yeah it's just the truth um but there
are a lot of americans who are patriotic without showing it uh in terms of colors using the flags
and all that kind of stuff screaming america every day of their life i think
uh i do show colors and all of that and flags and everything but i don't go around every day with
oh america america america public in everybody's face i don't do that true though there are there's
a lot there's flags everywhere like in as many places as we have them though
strong pride yeah the us but why why are you guys surprised like there are some people who
really like the history yeah and i think it's a little separated by the people are very proud
living in the us and some people too are like also a lot of military families they'll have a flag
outside their their home because like they serve their country if they often don't have a flag
um i think a lot of them do because um so i'm from a military family too and like
my dad has like a flag that was kind of been a tradition and i think it's just culture very
proud to be an american such a free country and because of those traditions maybe were passed on
from generations now it's just a kind of culture yeah i feel very weird because like in germany
we only put our german flags usually everywhere when we have a football like a soccer championship
normally most german people don't have a german flag in their garden ah free refill i also noticed
that where i'm from we have to pay for every refill if you want one it's not called refill just
get a new drink but i think it's only with soft drinks in usa right i didn't hear this with beer
you have to pay yeah for beer it can be good for the soft drink it's really the expensive things
that you got to pay for because them soft drinks bro come on man soft drinks who says soft drink
soda all these sodas and all that kind of stuff bro you get them for the low price bro i mean you
could get a big bottle of soda you probably get that for like a 150 at a store like you can get a
if you're gonna pay for a meal for ten ten dollars or whatever they can give you a double up of
sodas i don't know i never really got into drinking soda so i usually would just get
the teas like the sweet teas oh yeah and i would get free refills with the with the tea but it's
great because you get free drinks but also you kind of drink too much sugar right yeah but like
the nice thing is though if you're leaving the restaurant and you still want something to drink
when you leave you can refill and then you go i used to do this with a full cup all the time
i used to do it absolutely uh usually you have to pay for your water one glass is expensive already
anything you want to drink sometimes and beer price for glass is not much different like how
much would it cost you in euro one glass weather maybe one euro 50 and the small one euro 50 bro
you know you could pull up at walmart and uh one of them water is like the big probably around 36
bottles in there you can probably get that for 3.50 and i'm talking about a lot of water i'm
not talking about i'm talking about a lot of a lot of water like it's kind of hard to explain
beer maybe starts at two euro twenty it's just a seventy cent difference it's cheaper to drink
beer than water in general we don't have the free reefers in germany
when i went to new york i actually found out that most of food is a little bit low quality
for my standards so mostly fast food and a lot of it and very cheap and if you want something
like a little bit healthy like whole foods that's the point i don't think a lot of people understand
that it's the quality of the food that causes you to get those oversized stuff like if you go
to steak houses or one of those places if you get a lot of food you're going to pay a lot you're not
going to pay five five dollars no you're not going to get that because it's you're talking about some
good food right so it's really the places that um you shop right so for him for new you work there
are not much places in new york the city i'd say that you can actually get some real decent food
you have a lot of italian um restaurants but in terms of uh there's a lot of fast food there but
um you have very good restaurants there like for real you do have very good restaurants but
the majority obviously are fast food and street vendors you get that because new york is like
that you know what i'm saying so to get the the the restaurants you got to go in certain alleys
in certain areas you know so it's not really on the street like that but the mcdonald's and all
of those places you'll get those right there on the street corners not not like in the streets
you know what i mean but to get the restaurants those are more like inside if you get what i mean
like it's a it's kind of hard to explain it's like you have a box and you have outside of
the box that's where you'll find the fast food but you got to go in more in the city to get
the restaurants if that makes sense to you guys something it was really helpful more than like
normal restaurants that i understand the americans often go for the cheaper
version because it's first it's a lot and second it makes you really full how you guys
see this and before i used to eat more living in the us because i don't like to waste food and so
i would usually like try to kind of finish my meal or i would take it to go very big size but
i think the reason is because they want it to look like oh it's a it's worth the price
putting ice in water do you not do that yeah everybody doesn't do that
in america don't they do they do that in germany i don't put ice in my water i don't put my water
in the fridge i just leave it outside and i actually don't do it i actually don't
put water in the fridge either because it's not healthy and maybe maybe i'm coming from a health
perspective i don't put ice in my water either and i don't put it in the fridge either it has to
be room temperature because that's how the body wants it so that's how the body's gonna get it
i heard that's quite common yeah most of my european friends too in america like don't you
get like stomach pain if you drink the ice water no no no you don't it's never that cold it's so
refreshing and cool especially on a hot summer day i want to have ice cold water it makes me
feel cool on the inside if it's like really hot exactly yeah that's why americans are so cool
we have already ice prepared in your fridge yup our fridge has an ice box they have
an ice baker in my fridge like the fridge on automatically like you just put in water like it
has like a water pipe in the back of it right that keeps your fridge cool but ours splits off and so
it has a special machine on the inside that makes ice automatically so it's always full and then on
the fridge like you know there's a little water so you guys don't have that kind of stuff i'm pretty
sure you guys definitely have that kind of stuff but you guys probably just don't use it for that
purpose next to it we have an ice dispenser so you just chip and it comes out you can pick crushed
perfect fried yeah i think i saw something like fried apples or some restaurant fried apples and
americans were running to the place and so there's this restaurant where pretty much
anything you take them they will deep fry for you fried food i think is quite popular also in
like like carnivals or yeah yeah so we like funnel cakes yeah fried dough also fried oreos i've
never had them yeah i always see them and there's people like deep fry their turkey for thanksgiving
fries and chicken what is the most like popular fried food in the u.s sweet potatoes oh because
we make sweet potato fries instead of like regular potatoes sweet potato fries you get like chipotle
seasoning on them you dip them in rants oh they're good take it easy now take it easy now take it
easy i would say that every european likes rice america called french fries come from beijing but
french fries and the kfc is quite popular oh a little bit fried chicken yeah that's pretty
much it what i know as fried food when i went to usa i didn't thought about it imagine that's the
only fast food area you know that gives you fry food kfc bro what i mean you could bro
bro america really had really has way too much fast food like outlets or whatever the shish
kebab you want to call them like a lot a lot fried food because also i didn't know about american
frying like everything if i go now i want to try green tomatoes and fried ice cream i would give
it a try for sure yeah today i learned about very strange things in america nah bro we're not doing
that fried ice cream nonsense i don't even eat ice cream like that well it's more of a health
situation for me that was but either ways guys that was a beautiful video again i do hope you
guys enjoyed it leave a like on the video as usual and uh have a good one guys i'm out of here peace
