going to get right into this video so uh if you're not subscribed to foreign reacts also please do
subscribe we do foreign reactions here everything down here has to be for into the reactor that's
who i am so without further ado guys let's get right into this video americans who've been to
or traveled to europe what's something europe has changed in your mind that now you can't let go
so my answer is security yeah security is very important also i just i i'm gonna give you guys
a little hint that guy he visited the country that i move into if you guys watched my previous video
regarding the same topic where i did a reaction video about the part one version of this that guy
he actually visited the country that i'll be moving to to and um yeah but either way i'm gonna
do some detail editing for you guys as well so you don't have to hear his voice every time you know
what i mean i feel so much safer in switzerland i live in schools almost seven years this year
and we just don't have the same security concerns my four-year-old walks to preschool
by himself he knows how to cross the street and everything that you don't have kids getting out
like snatched up and my example was going to be that people literally leave their
strollers out of stores and there's a stroller behind me that was parked there while i'm sorry
for interrupting bro but good lord i watched the video with finland bro and they literally
had finland and denmark to be specific and they had the kids in a stroller and i was
losing my mind i was like bro in america that you ain't snatched don't give me that baby let's go
like what i would if i was supposed to do that my heart would be on my kid the entire time i
would not be able and i don't think i would ever be comfortable doing it due to the fact that i am
used to a particular um what do you say reaction if i did that action i don't think i could ever
ever get to a state of mind where i'm like bro i can leave my kid right here bro this i'm telling
you these countries with that type of safety bro yo hats off to y'all i don't even have the
hat on that's how much respect i got for you all man a parent went in to buy baked goods
that's what people do here and my list could go on safety security cleanliness all right education
geography it's a long list i mean i definitely want to move back to the us one day but with kids
it definitely feels better in europe right working because the girlies over there they are working to
live not living to work okay they are at that job so that when they clock off they can go head to
the bar with their friends and our family they value family and friend time like hanging out
whether that's at the bar the club the park shawty fulfilling that american stereotype you loud
godly hey man be you though being you if you love you loud hey be you that's for show be
you restaurant and the money that comes from a job is just so that they can do those things
which is just so different from the american ideal your job is your life is your life's
work everything nothing comes before your job because all this hustle culture at the end
and i'm not gonna turn it down for you guys you europeans you're not gonna get away y'all are
gonna have to listen to her screaming the same way i listen i'm not turning that down you guys
gotta you guys i'm sorry i love you guys so much but you guys gotta listen to her screaming hey if
you die what are you left with what are people going to remember about you well she was really
good at her job that's right it really changed how i viewed work because it really is more so
a transaction of my time for money and not like my life but u.s labor practices won't let me be great
american chocolate is trash it is bitter garbage it literally takes me weeks if not months to be
able to eat american chocolate after traveling i don't know what it is there's an ingredient
in there that makes it disgusting and yeah there's so much more but that's the first thing
that popped into my mind i've been studying abroad in italy for about three months now
one i had constipation issues before i got here and as soon as i got here
i could not stop if we're talking about food there's something wrong with american food
something's up honestly i think it's all corn i think it's corn in different shapes and textures
and flavors and they're not giving us real food anyway because fear is very over the public
transportation here is elite you can get somewhere in 30 minutes 15 minutes it's it's amazing however
there strikes like every week so there's probably a lot of exploitation going on which makes it
so amazing in a capitalist system when i go back to us i'm just going to eat vegetables
and protein shakes and like uh pill supplements because i can't i can't the food here is food
okay so i only found out about this recently and it kind of blew my mind but i watched a tick tock
of a lady who worked on farm and she basically went on to say um like grocery stores and stuff
like that hold auctions and in these auctions they sell off near expired or expired fruit stock that
they can't sell to us that we're not going to buy or eat and they sell it to
farmers and farmers use it to feed their livestock oh lord so what that basically means is we still
see the processed [ __ ] garbage that we eat from grocery stores every day is being fed to livestock
to keep them sustained with you know a few pieces of carrot and apple chopped up into it like
there were ritz crackers in this trough of food that they were gonna rinse [ __ ] crackers bro
a lot of people are gonna say the food and you're not wrong because america's food is so much
more processed it takes like two months for your stomach to actually acclimate back to all of that
so for the first two months eh you're gonna probably be sick but something i really realized
after talking to a lot of people from europe is that unlike americans their job isn't like their
main source of pride in america we tend to really like boast about how many hours we're putting
into the grind whereas in europe they don't really tend to do that not to say that they're not proud
of what they do for work but they tend to have a lot of different things that they're more proud of
than how long they were yeah and where they were i think personally i think uh after examining europe
for so so long i i could say i've been here like about probably four months four months
five months i don't know but something like that i personally think that europeans value their lives
much more than a career meaning that they understand that a career is as temporary as
it gets like literally you go to school and the amount of period you spend in school probably
that's the same amount of period you're going to spend working just do the math let's say you
get out of school right and you're 30 you're done with school at age 30 you got a doctorate
degree check me out 30 more years on that you're 60 you're probably going to be retired by then
you see what i'm talking about so being 60 and now being retired you have no livelihood you have
nothing because you're just bored and burnt out and you know you're just old so it's it's really
a thing that i know the europeans they they they definitely want to relax and enjoy life they don't
want it to pass them by because everybody's going to die and we have more responsibility to try to
make the most out of what's truly important in life man and most of us don't do that for so long
i'm not saying that culture is not shifting especially with millennials and gen z and
alpha but it's definitely something i noticed and definitely something no i wanted to change
getting a driver's license in germany i think it takes a few years and i think about two grand
get your license in germany any germans can correct me on this if i'm wrong but it's a
rigorous process it's not easy and for good reason you have the autobahn which are sections of the
highway where you can go as fast as you want speed limit is 300 kilometers an hour on the autobahn
so with that can't be a prick on the road you don't own the road if you act like you're on the
road and you're going slow in the left lane and you think the guy going 150 miles an hour behind
you should slow down you're screwed big fines big penalties i've heard rumors about you could lose
your license for doing that if you drive slow in the left lane on the autobahn the road maintenance
and everything there is just amazing the way they run their whole driving system i went 126
on the autobahn the person in front of me on the left lane would move about a quarter mile before
i would even get close to them they got us beat oh boy oh boy where do i even start i don't know
so many things i could talk about but the number one thing i'm gonna talk about uh just quickly for
those who know me you know what i'm gonna say public transportation oh transportation yeah
uh i studied abroad in bordeaux traveled to munich dresden prague barcelona madrid
man europe just they get public transportation they put trams on the street they make sure cars
are not going like throughout the city so it's you know designated that it's public transportation
and they got trams they're going everywhere they're going to the north the south to east the
west they'll cover your ass wherever you want to go but the us maybe some big cities have subways
otherwise you got bus systems yeah you got the bus system but um for a person like me who've utilized
the bus system it is not as efficient as the european bus system or transportation system in
general it is not and um what i can can definitely say is that the american bus system city bus to be
specific it does not go everywhere you want to go it does not do everything that you want to do
and practically it is very um it's filled with a lot of limitations but it's still good but it has
a major limitation and it's nothing compared to our european uh transportation system at
all where's the public transportation here give me some trams america i want trail he wants tramps
you i am nobody an american has been living in the netherlands for two years
and frankly it's all the things that add up to quality of life education transport health care
food cost of housing access to infrastructure art and culture it's all of those things imagine a
world where you don't have to own a car where you can take a bicycle or a bus or a train anywhere
you want to go and it's affordable that your health care doesn't bankrupt you and is available
to you and you can get same-day appointments it's freedom from paperwork my taxes take me
less than a day to get done it's green spaces in my neighborhood with art that allow me to
really enjoy my life it's worker conditions that allow me to have nights and weekends to myself
as well as my 24 days of statutory vacation it's pretty awesome and i can't imagine life without it
that they over feed us and our portion control is outrageous
and the food quality that we have in america it's trash americans who've been to or
traveled to europe what's something europe has changed in your mind that now you can't let go
this is going to sound strange but the milk in america really creeps me out i'm not american
i'm british but i live in america and back home our milk goes off within a few days of opening it
and it's safe yeah i did a little bit a little bit and i did a video about this particular topic
y'all can check the channel about it man it's it's just some preservative type stuff that they
put in it it's nothing really major and i think they actually started to do it in europe as well
but they use a different type of preservative it's the same reason with the chocolate the
taste of the chocolate so it's nothing like it's got lumps in it you can tell that it's off
but the milk in america legit lasts for like weeks and that really creeps me how i don't know if i'm
going crazy americans who've been to or traveled to europe what's something europe has changed in
your mind that now you can't let go hi i'm an american living in germany and my wake-up call
was realizing that the fact that i'm mortified of calling 911 in the u.s is not normal in the u.s
you don't call 9-1-1 unless it is a near-death experience because that's just expensive
you either take some advil chug some water and sleep it off or if that doesn't work
someone can rush you to the urgent care but we still don't call 9-1-1 and that's not normal
he goes on to talk about the quality and quantity of food and that's another big wake-up call too
americans who've been to or traveled to europe what's something
i actually lived in scotland for a little while and went to school there and i want
to tell you my top three things that made me change my view on america number one much like
you the food situation there's chemicals in our food that is outlawed there number two
the medical care is so different it made me realize that not only is america getting rich off
of sick people but because of the chemicals in our food they're pretty much just keeping us sick to
get richer and number three the education system now where i went to school in scotland and i'm not
going to say this is for all of europe but where i went to school in scotland they went to school for
13 years and they went to school all year round and they were more ahead than we were hey yo
you don't talk about no school
somebody get this woman out ma get around get her out when you know about a school school for 13
years and you talking about had school all year round no and oh no no it's not happening ma'am
not happening we're not doing that we're not doing that we don't even no no no no no no
no school for all all year round how many how many days we got about 365 and i was able to
go to school for tuesday's fridays or maybe you take out the saturday sunday whatever i was go
come on now i'm not doing it period not even a chance not even a chance before i do that i drop
drop out of school i ain't doing that period i need time seventh grade when i went there
and instead of doing american seventh grade math they were doing american 10th grade math
in the seventh grade americans who've been to or traveled to europe well i live here
so it might be a bit biased that not having a very solid life plan at the age of 18 you know
kind of staying single until you're in your 30s and not having kids until you're in your 30s and
you know not feeling like a functional adult until you're well within your mid-30s is okay it's
no i get this buddy perspective but i think that's probably the entire world
i think that's the entire world i now i hear um you know like on the rise like i don't want to
talk nothing political but we're talking about abortions more we're talking about um casual sex
more nobody nobody really with my generation nobody really wants this what he's talking about
it's factual that you're supposed to be having your life thought out you know you know what
you're trying to achieve he is right i will say that i co-sign what he's saying you're
supposed to have that thought up but not everybody wants that and the thing is humanity will never be
at that state so i don't know if he's talking about europe or just him personally because
i don't think a lot of europeans have that right i've interacted with europeans and not everybody
you know oh my gosh in their 30s they're you know they're having kids already and not everybody has
that perspective a lot of people they don't want to have no kids they don't want to have nothing
and um it's eventually when they're older they're realizing that man i made the wrong
decision so i'm not gonna be that guy to tell people what to do with their life
period i'll do me and they do them but personally i get this dude's point of view but i don't
think there's really anything special to nowhere because i think 99 probably percent of this world
is toxic when it comes to uh family right now nobody wants a family anymore you know what i'm
trying to find also the medical care here is so cheap and accessible that allows people like me
at 40 to so play american football it's a video that lives in your head rent for him come here
that's wild but i do understand his perspective though you know
the health care system is definitely one but i don't understand his perspective but he has to
understand that you know everything is not you know how it is i would how he was he's 40 and um
he was probably thinking about the things but people my age right now man boys my age they
just thinking about how many girls they can ran through how many girls they can play with their
heads women right now they like man i'm just getting your only fans go make me some money
and go on vacations by myself because really that's what you get right so i don't really think
that my generation is on that um level at all in any any country maybe europe is not that bad but i
definitely believe that my generation is toxic and i don't think they're ever going to see that light
where it comes to oh my gosh i need to do this some of them will some of them will
but the majority of them nah bro they don't care about that it's okay everything is okay right now
with my generation it is okay to kill it it's okay to do everything personally that's how i
feel about my generation it's it's a sad one man but either ways i gotta get out of this so peace
