Hello everybody!
Welcome back to Takeoff Together
My name's Hannah
Today I'm going to talk about
things that my Serbian boyfriend
just doesn't understand about the States
These things are things that I get quite annoyed by
when he points them out
Things that us Americans find completely normal
These are things that I do..probably every day
I'll start with the one that irks(annoys)
my boyfriend the absolute most
When I eat something sweet
with something salty
We actually have a flavor for that here
It's a recipe sent from the universe
but no, no, no, no
We in Serbia do not eat our
salty and sweet together
We save the dessert, the fruit
the sweet stuff for after
and do not even THINK about
eating it before your meal
which-I do all the time
Us Americans really like
to wear our bare feet in doors
this one I can kind-of see why it's gross
however, we also keep our floors really clean
our floors-we could literally eat off of
so I understand why such a difference
in Serbia-where people clean
their floors but I don't think
they're as spotless as
Americans like to keep them
This makes complete sense why Serbians
do not like to wear their bare feet inside
They are always wearing slippers
flip-flops
old sandals from the 90's
Fila knock-offs(fakes)
whatever have you
you have something on your feet indoors
I actually got really used to this idea
of wearing shoes inside
but one I came back to the States
things kind of switched back over
and now I am bare-foot!
You know when you hop out of the shower and your hair is soaking wet
you're just going to let it air-dry, right?
wet hair is like a sin in Serbia, I swear
Whenever his mom would see
that my hair is soaking wet she would panic
WHERE'S THE FAN?
she called the hair dryer a fan
no, I don't want the fan
If someone is running late it's not the end of the world that their hair is
is a little bit damp(wet)
So I never really thought twice about air-conditioners
Until I went to Serbia
and then realized you guys have some weird
premonitions(feelings) about wind
I just remember standing straight in front
of Moma's air conditioner in his house
and his sister was kind of like looking at me
like "What are you doing??"
that's gunna get you sick!
that's gunna damage your brain!
Perhaps that might be true, maybe
but it's definitely not something
that I've ever heard any American
be concerned about
don't get me started about the whole "opening two windows at a time" thing
I'm sure that if you find and American
without air-conditioning
they will have all their windows open
in their house
wearing sandals
not once did I see
anyone walking around Belgrade
with a pair of sandals on
having your feet exposed to that
pollution
I get why nobody really wears sandals
but here in Minnesota
it's not something people think about AT ALL
you will see sandals everywhere
for every occasion (event)
This is one that I feel sorry for all the women in Serbia
who want to wear their comfortable black leggings
as pants
you should be allowed to wear leggings as pants without
being looked at as a weirdo
but not once did I see any woman wearing leggings as pants
where as here in the U.S. it's more common that a girl
is gunna wear leggings as pants than jeans as pants
they're comfortable, stretchy, breathable(light)
they go with anything
but in Serbia because people are
checking each other out
literally all the time
I can see why someone might feel
self-conscious wearing leggings as pants
-not me tho
obviously
That's pretty much it for today's video
