hi guys welcome to my channel my name is Kat and this is Dani and today we're
gonna be talking about some differences between the US and Spain
okay so let's just get on with the video
okay number one is the way they dry their clothes here in Spain it's a very
trivial thing with us one of the first things I noticed when I came to Spain is
that not very many people have a dryer they hang their clothes to dry and this
it was kind of funny to me because my grandmother who you know she was born
probably money thirties or something she hangs her clothes still to this day to
dry but in Spain that everyone does that it's a pretty normal thing yeah so we're
still like your grandmother I think it might be because of space it might also
be for energy purposes it's kind of unnecessary because you Spain is very
dry and hot well for most of the year so you can just hang your
clothes and it dries in a few few hours but I like it I like it I like it
ok number two is coffee the way your coffees served how you order a coffee
and also the sizes of coffee are completely different in Spain and then
in the United States not just a coffee everything is bigger in the States it
wasn't different in Spain they kind of make fun of Americans and our coffee
about how it's very weak for them it's more like a milkshake and a coffee here
the coffee is very strong it's like it's just coffee so you have this little shot
of coffee and they just drink it with some milk and well it depends on there
are many different kinds of coffee so you can order it with
milk with a little bit of milk with hot milk cold milk
or coffee hot coffee cold coffee coffee with milk
it depends on because there are different ways. expresso or corto. Corto que es? Es Coffee. corto is
just a little bit of milk on it okay so the variations in milk and coffee
because in the u.s. you have syrups and sugars and flavors and lots of different
types of variations one day you'll go with me oh thank you there yeah
number three is that the pharmacy here is kind of like the doctors not exactly
the doctor but in the US the pharmacy can never just give you a prescription
whereas here the pharmacy can so it's so great because you don't have to make an
appointment to go to the pharmacy for example this winter I had a lot of
information with my hands I didn't know what was going on and I just went to the
pharmacy they told me exactly what I have chilblains and they gave me exactly
what I need a prescription so here in Spain you actually can take out the
middleman the doctor a lot of times and you save money you save time and it's
just it's just great I love it interesting yeah did you know that I
don't know number four is that supermarkets are on every corner in the u.s. we have
a lot of problems with food deserts entire neighborhoods that don't have
grocery stores here that does not exist like there's literally so many grocery
stores in just this area how many grocery stores do we have quite possibly
at least in like a five-minute one 10 minutes walking we how about five
grocery stores and they also have fresh fruits and vegetables unlike a lot of
places that you you know where you live like you might
not have really good quality fruits and vegetables very difficult to start over
here number five is that they're sometimes are children and bars like
families like if a family is out of bar drinking their kids like we're running
around on the ground or playing or doing whatever and it's it's very different
because in the u.s. kids in bars are like you would never bring a kid into a
bar and here I've seen many times where our family goes into a bar have a treat
or whatever and their kids are just like we're playing on the floor or whatever
and it's interesting yeah okay bringing our mom here number six going off of
bars here they don't card to you I haven't I think I've been carded in my
three years of Spain probably one time in the u.s. obviously anywhere you go
that has alcohol or there's an age limit you get carded whereas here like here
you just buy alcohol and nobody nobody questions your ATAR I mean obviously
this unless you're very pretty small you know knows what you're young they ask
you for the ID card I mean my students in high school they would always have
alcohol with them just in the streets drinking it because like nobody cards
you number seven is their greetings are a
lot different and one of them that was very different for me is when they say
see you later absolutely though they say it all the
time everywhere and I find it kind of funny like for example if you exit an
elevator there like a little likes you later to the person and when I was
working at my school every time you would leave the room they would be like
ah so little and I just thought it was really funny because in the u.s. we're
not so we just leave you just walk away nobody really is like oh let's see you
later because in the elevator you're never
gonna probably and at school you know you're
gonna see them later so why say it so it's just a little different yeah oh me
here maybe yeah there's always those clothes yeah it's fine it's fine okay
number eight is that they eat a lot of bread with their meals on now you eat
them right now I eat a lot of bread they have baguettes and it changed my life
yeah for fun tomorrow I'm tamaco I love ya they eat a bowl of bread
number nine is the PDA okay before anybody says anything I'm from Nebraska
okay so it's a very conservative state don't even see really people walking
hand in hand walking down the street it's very like no big touches each other
so for me that was like a big culture shock to see people are very open with
themselves here and they'll just be making out and I mean to the point where
you're walking in the park and you see people like straddling each other and
like Mickey now and it just like okay well you love each other everyone now
there was bad that's okay yeah I think the sprite people are more oppressive
definitely in other countries Brie open-minded and don't hide anything
definitely don't yeah number 10 this was huge for me is how split checks here are
not a vein so this is something that we actually have kind of got into it a few
times because in the u.s. when you have a group of people everyone pays for what
they eat well here in Spain it's more normal that you just divide it how many
people if there's if the bill is a hunter and there's five people everyone
pays 20 euros and that's it doesn't matter if you spent only 10 or 15
everyone just paid same also if you ask the registrant to
split the check we're okay you do your bill that's 15 in - 10 they don't do
that here they just are like you guys figure it out and just have to get used
to it number 11 is I feel like here they're a
lot more environmentally friendly in general than the Americans I have came
across the United States for example it's very common here in Spain that
people did not turn on the lights during the day at all until like the Sun Goes
Down practically so we don't even turn the lights until like 7:00 p.m. and
that's a very normal thing here as well as hanging your clothes to dry as I'm
using a dryer they also do is very common to do sailors showers here where
you always turn off the water while you're washing your body and it's very
short showers so that's always really nice number 12 is that they always have
a second dish for their meals so for example I cook dinner for honey I always
he's always like oh the second dish where's where's the second dish that's
right and the u.s. is not common like you just have a big plate of food a huge
place thank you maybe a few to play but here you have a first a second post
today always you don't drink yeah where they're posted a well it
desert three comments issues one desert one dream a little bit in every meal
right every meal so he's always like where's the second dish no way there
isn't a second dish where did you hide it like look in the fridge okay number
13 the last one on my list is that they peel the the skin off the fruit not
everybody not everybody it's pretty common pretty cool it's very common like
I know when IO paired and also living with other Spanish people they were just
like oh you should take off the skin of the fruit because they were took on
worms they thought it was because of worms hmm well they were telling me
about you to take off the fruit because worms you can see the worms but I'm like
yes that makes sense because the bowl the vitamins are in the English skin so
it doesn't make sense to read it I think when I met you you to love them the skin
too okay so that's all my 13 differences
between the US and its Fame and if you have found any other differences in
Spain and new us put them down in the comments or actually pretty curious to
know what other differences you found and like and subscribe if you want to in
