- Where in the world is Superwoman today, eh?
Toronto, home!
What up everyone, it's your girl Superwoman,
and throw tomatoes at me.
No, like, for real, throw rocks at my pancreas.
I am the worst. I am the worst.
My uploads have been so inconsistent
over the past two weeks and I've been failing,
and honestly, I owe you an explanation and a half.
For the past two weeks, I've been traveling across India,
and, let's just say, the Wi-Fi situation
has not been doing it.
I promise, I tried so many times to upload videos,
and it was just like, ah-ah.
And then I got back yesterday
and jet lag, literally, swallowed me alive.
So I woke up this morning and like, huh, what?!
And I was like, "Oh, bitch, no,
"I'll just upload a video on Thursday."
But then I was like, "No! Don't do it."
Because you deserve better. So I was like,
"You know what? It's gonna be a super Tuesday."
And OMG so much has happened in two weeks
I announced my world tour in India,
with the first stop being India this May.
Zayn Malik decided to make a U-turn on a one way street
and is now going another direction, and my heart bleeds.
Justin Bieber got roasted and it was spectacular,
because he also roasted everyone back and honestly
he got me catching the feels towards the end.
TIDAL is now a thing, which means Jay-Z will
basically become president.
It's da rock in da building.
And speaking of The Rock, I mean,
nothing's changed there. He's still damn fine.
Anyways, since I've been traveling for the past
forever in my life. I thought I'd make this video with
some of the things I've learned while traveling.
And to be honest not all of them might be funny,
but I figure like you've already watched the video
this far so, like, might as well continue.
Standards.
One of the main things I've learned while traveling
is that hand signs, in different areas, mean
different things and I learned this the hard way.
So you know me and pictures I throw up all types of poses.
I'm all about the poses.
My most common one is this,
but it never used to be this.
It always used to be this, but it changed to this.
Let me tell you why.
When I was in London once, I was walking through
a grocery store, you know, I'm buying a few things.
I'm like japazas, I want Coca-Cola.
I'm walking up and there's like this security camera,
so you know, I'm a be like all Taylor Swift
up in the place (giggles).
I walk out and I'm like, to the camera.
And my friend is like, "Dude!
"Why the hell are you swearing at the camera?"
And I'm like, "Egad!"
Basically, in London, and probably several
other places in the world,
this is the equivalent of the middle finger.
Because in my mind, I'm like, "I'm gonna be
"all Taylor Swift and be all, ha-ha,
"one love." And these people are probably
watching the footage being like,
"Yo, this girl's trying to be Lil' Wayne up
"in the place, trying to rough up everything."
They probably thought I was gonna walk straight
to the bread aisle a frickin' slap somebody's.
So I learned this the hard way.
That is why in pictures, now, I always do this.
'Cause apparently this is okay.
Casca-what?
Alright, after so much traveling,
I have come up with a strategy to avoid getting homesick.
And I'm a be real with you,
I don't usually get home sick.
Mostly because my home be cray and hella stressful
but sometimes I do. And the way to avoid
doing that is to keep one thing consistent
throughout your travels.
And for me it is this:
This pillow.
This is Ceams, okay?
Ceams because ice cream. Ice ceam.
Ceams!
And believe it or not Ceams avoids me
getting homesick because no matter
where I am in the world, what I'm doing,
with who I'm with. I know
I'm gonna be sleeping with Ceams tonight.
So if I'm stranded in India
with no plan on how to get home
it doesn't matter because I have this pillow.
And it doesn't matter if I'm feeling lonely
in the North or the West or, most probably,
the South because I have this pillow.
And it doesn't matter if I'm single
and failing at relationships
in every single continent because
I have this pillow.
It really does help, you know.
Now things differ greatly from country to country.
But through my experiences, I have noticed
that a few things remain consistent
and transcend borders.
Transcend. Is that what that word means?
Transcend borders? You know what I mean.
I--
Is that what transcend means?!
Cross borders.
Chances are you will always find the following things
everywhere you go in the world.
One Direction, Justin Bieber, Beyonce, wrestling,
and Coca-Cola or Pepsi.
The other day I was walking through a village
in Punjab and I saw a man in a hut
selling a Roman Reigns t-shirt
and I'm like, "What the fiddlesticks?"
The advice I can give you is that
if you're ever in a foreign place
and someone is speaking to you
and you don't know how to respond,
just say Beyonce.
Someone come up to you like,
(speaks foreign language)
Uh, Beyonce.
Huh?
Beyonce.
Oh! Beyonce! Ah, Beyonce, yes!
Yeah!
(laughing) Beyonce, Beyonce.
(laughing) Yeah, Beyonce.
Beyonce put a ring on it, huh?
Ah, put a ring on it.
So even if I'm not doing anything wrong,
it stresses me to go through customs.
I don't know what it is.
It's like the desks and the officers and the cameras
and the "No Phone" signs and the na-n-na.
So every time I approach a customs officer
I always make a joke.
And, let me tell you, 95% of the time
that joke results in no questions
being asked about my trip.
The other 5% of the time I've gone to jail,
or whatever, but the 95% of the time, golden.
In Toronto before you go to a customs officer
you have to take a picture
and every single time I approach the officer
my line is, "Okay, listen.
"This is a really bad picture of me.
"But I promise you, I'm like really hot
"in all my other pictures."
Boom! That's it!
LOL, laughter, ha-ha-ha.
We're friends, we're dabbin', we're givin' props.
He's not even asking 'bout my trip.
He ain't even noticing the five iguanas
I'm smuggling through the border, okay?
I'm well on my way to becoming Mrs. Frizzle.
The last thing I've learned is, actually,
a pretty sentimental serious thing.
So if you listen to nothing else in this video
listen to this.
The main thing I've learned from traveling
is that what you know is actually nothing.
Just hear me out.
We've all grown up in one place.
Knowing one set of values, one set of morals,
one set of society, community,
and just what's normal.
Let me just tell you, that's not right.
That's just what you know.
And when you travel and see
countries around the world
who believe different things,
and people have different values,
you realize that there's no right and wrong.
There's actually just different.
That's the best part about traveling
because it really broadens your horizon.
To realize that, "Dude, why do I feel so entitled
"and so right?"
I'm living in this little, itty-bitty place in the world
and there's so many other people and places
who believe something totally different.
So I highly encourage you to travel
for that one reason because it'll really
make you see things in a new light.
But hold up, hold up, hold up, before I go,
huge announcement.
Like I said, I announced my world tour.
