- I have been living in the US for a while now and these are just a few of the differences I have noticed. Watch this video if you are thinking about moving from the UK to the US or if you're just interested in the differences! Hope this helped :)
i think the lesson is that everything is scary to a teenager.
There are so many reaction videos that show Brits shopping and saying how cheap most things are..in the USA..bread will never be $14..anywhere in North America…unless you fall down the stairs and wake up in a alternate universe…and by the way…all it takes is a few minutes going through CZcams videos to find price comparisons…so there should never be a shock..
She’s lying. If a store in the US sell that much for bread they would be reported for price gouging.
Don't say never about bread being fourteen dollars a loaf in the U.S. A loaf of bread when I was young, was about fifteen cents, on sale you could buy ten loaves for a dollar. You just may see that within the next fifteen or twenty years.
@@lm2cb322 That's probably why they shutdown. Which is what she said in another comment.
I've gone to some pretty fancy artisan bakeries but I've never seen anybody trying to sell a single loaf of bread for $14.
I just bought a loaf of butter bread at HEB for $1.88. You need to shop around...
HEB is valid 🔥
14 dollars for a loaf of bread? I have never seen that price even at a bakery.
That grocery store had to shut down ! Luckily a cheaper one is there now.
Here in South Africa, I can buy 20 loaves of sliced, low GI wholewheat for that price.
Me neither
I have NO idea what country you are in, but it's not the U.S. You are either misspeaking, or lying.
@@mysolojourneys btw as far as quality of food, we have lots of organic here as well, and also, most major cities have restaurants on the Michelin Star list. It was created by the French tire company and is very prestigious. We have three restaurants here in the San Francisco Bay Area that have three Michelin Stars, a very rare achievement for a restaurant. And we also have a total of over 170 restaurants that don't have three stars, but are on the Michelin list of recommended restaurants.🙂
What the hell are you talking about. I have never paid $14 for a loaf of bread. At most $4.
Yes, and bread totally contaminated with chemicals and harmful additives that are banned in Europe because they are harmful to health. This bread belongs in the garbage can but not on the table.
Where do you live in the US? There is no such thing as a $14 loaf of bread! Regular bread in a typically grocery store is between $2.50 - $4.50. Also, your comment about oveall that groceries are far more than in the UK, which is not the common theme on most You Tube videos that are describing the differences between the UK and the US. So, where did you live in the UK? I also have to comment on your reference to chocolate. Typically, it is milk chocolate that people like over here, which I do not like either, other than Hersey's Kisses. If you really prefer dark chocolate, then get Nestles semi-sweet chips, usually used for making cookies, or look for chocolate bars with a percentage written ion the wrapping, and get at least 70%.
Without not knowing where you are in the US, in most states the highways are extensive since the car is king over here, and in many big cities (not on the East coast) there is next to no public transportation, especially as you go further westward, where the states get very large. There are 11 states that are bigger than the UK, and 40 UK's would fit within the US. So, this gives you some idea as to how big the US really is. If you were to exclude the part of Russia that is in Asia, then all of Europe would fit into the US also. So, this means things like cars, roadways, houses, parks, and so on are much bigger here. And yes,, the driving age is 16 in most states, and since the car is so prolific. the drinking age is 21 simple due to teens driving cars at such a young age, and just about everyone has a car as well.
Anyway, welcome to the USA! I hope over time that you learn to accept the differences and homoginize.
Where in the US is bread $14 per loaf lol? Even in the most expensive states bread is probably $4-6 USD. Where I live bread cost anywhere from $2-4 USD for a non-organic loaf of bread. Prices are higher depending on which states you're in as well. Also, Hershey is popular, but considered our cheap chocolate lol! Try Ghirardelli chocolate, much better! I'm guessing you're not a driver because you'd appreciate more room on the road haha. Also, most restaurant wait staff earn most their wages on tips, it's why the food is cheaper too. Most wait staff refill your drinks and ask if you need anything else. It's not really mandatory, but is highly customary to tip your wait staff about 15-20%.
I’ve been to England twice and although I understand what you’re saying, you speak very softly and you don’t annunciate your consonants very clearly,
So I can see why American we have trouble understanding you. I find it much easier understand people from other areas of England, other than where you are from.
I don’t mean that in a personally negative way.
I watch a lot of accent videos for different accents in the UK, and yours is one of the more difficult ones to decipher.
Great vid. Thanks!
First world problems, especially from young people, is always funny. Food in America is so diverse, you can get almost anything you want. Roundabouts are popping up across the country these days. My little city in Washington State has at least ten of them now. Chocolate can be found in all flavors shapes and sizes and from almost every country in the world! Tipping is a source of contention even among residents these days. BTW, if you want crisps, you muust ask for chips!
You don't have to tip people if they don't provide you a service worthy of a tip. It's not an automatic. Neither is 20%. You got to earn that.
15 is good, 10% at buffet never at fast food or take out
Yeah, for whatever reason foreigners have this misconception that tipping is mandatory, and it needs to be 20%, and then they complain about having to do it. I will write it in capital letters "TIPPING IS NO MANDITORY IN THE U.S.!" The worst that will happened if you don't tip, is someone will think you're an asshole. But don't feel like you're required to leave a tip, especially if you're a foreign tourist they will never see again. If you're a regular customer,, it's different.
I will also add that tipping is based on pre-tax price, not the total bill.
tipping is not optional. tipping is part of your payment. if you don't want to tip. that is your right. that's what grocery stores are for. that's what fast food is for. this attitude modern Americans have that they are just entitled to be waited on hand and food is pathetic.
@@notmyproblem88 tipping is optional for bad service or virtually no service.
As an American, I usually pay less than $4 on bread, but I've gone as high as $8 for a nice fresh specialty loaf. Whatever place was charging $14 sounds like they had it coming when they went out of business.
I agree I think it’s sad they went out of business but 14 dollars is crazy.
@@mysolojourneys If you're living in big cities this is common right now in the States because of inflation.
Living in smaller cities or states closer to middle America is way more affordable. I live here, so I can validate this.
If you want more organic food, shop at an Aldi's or Whole Foods store. They have a wide variety of fresh unprocessed foods.
Hopefully this helped

Highly doubtful that she wants to live among Trump voters
@@neutrino78x projecting
@@JHolt_88 sorry but the rest of the world is not maga. They want to visit our major cities, to find like minded people.
Every Brit that comes over says our portions are bigger and the value is great..
And that food is tasty.
We don’t even pay $14 for organic bread. My store I pay $1 for regular bread and about $6 for organic. You must be in a city.
She either lied or was mistaken because she has changed her story. Also UK chocolate just has a ton of milk in it and very little chocolate, so she is getting ripped off in the UK and doesn't even know it.
You are insane for saying bread cost $14…look at the receipt one more time…it is not $14..ever in your lifetime…someone has been drinking some strange Kool Ade..and a lot of things annoy you..that is probably sad..maybe some day you will grow out of it…or just wake up with a positive attitude..As a retired US Army platoon sergeant in the woods eating c-rations from a can…3 times a day…anything fast food was a big change and welcomed…and we stayed in the woods..3 weeks per month at Fort Benning..Georgia…I admit the most I have ever paid for bread was around:$5…and with inflation hovering at 2%…don’t expect bread to go any higher for another 3-5 years…$3 is average..in Florida..
Thumbs down 👎🏻 sounds like you have confirmation bias. Just a suggestion, before you generalize the US try traveling allover the states first. $14 for bread I’m curious as to the name of the store you went to even if they went out if business (as you said)
She won't say, she's making it up. She's saying the exact opposite to every other "Brit, German, French" person reacts to America video. She wants the engagement and views to grow her little 300 subscriber channel.
there is something wrong, i have never seen bread any where for 14 dollars, maybe 6 or seven at most and that is from a specialty bakery
$14 bread you got scammed. Unless maybe at the airport or New York City.
Cultural awareness is key when travels. I am sorry to hear that you did not have a good experience. However, I think doing some research would help. Even a load of organic bread at my local store (HEB in Texas) is not $14. Where did you shop?
The prices are higher here. Though, the salaries are 2-3 times higher and taxes are lower. So, yes, it might be shocking to someone visiting.
Average salary in the US is 5-6% higher than in London. Don't just make stuff up and show everyone what you really are.
@@paulmartin2348 "In general, salaries in the United States are higher than in the United Kingdom. In 2022, US employees made $78,000 per year, which is 43% more than the UK's $54,500." After factoring in the effective tax rate, take home pay is more than double.
@@markt.4661 The average U.S. annual salary in Q4 of 2023 was $59,384 according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. This translates to a median weekly wage of $1,139 in the first quarter of 2024, totaling $59,228 per year.
i have been to europe and everything was more expensive there than here.
14.00 for a loaf of "regular" bread!? Anywhere I've been in the States (& I"ve lived in 10 of them on both coasts & N. & South) the cost for a very fancy, "artisanal" loaf of bread would be half that...& as for the additives: Yes, it is a sad fact that too much f'ing corn syrup is pumped into so many processed foods. But then, don't buy processed foods. Cook things yourself. It's healthier usually, & often cheaper
Don't ever buy a car or gasoline in England.
Careful, they think it's called "petrol".
come to the midwest, there's roundabouts everywhere... and they're miserable

I pay a little over $1 for bread at Walmart.
Groceries prices are crazy these days, it's been this way ever since the pandemic. If you watch the prices though you'll see they fluctuate, one week something might be $8 and the next week it could be $3. It's particularly bad in California.
“Crispspspspsps” is the worst word in the English language. Please help kill it - chips and fries!
From the sounds of this, she must be down South somewhere 😅
“Monster trucks” 😂. Also, the only people I tip are delivery drivers, hair cuts and waiters actually waiting on me. No one else.
First of all, you’re a beautiful girl. And you seem very nice, and I love your British accent. I hope you’re enjoying yourself in America! I certainly hope you are being treated well and with respect. I consider Brits a part of our family. I studied for 2 months at LSE years ago, and you Brits were incredibly nice to me. 🇺🇸 ❤️ 🇬🇧
I wouldn't call it a language barrier because Brits use a different word than Americans do for the same thing.
It's a barrier for her until she learns to speak our way.
Bigger roads, bigger cars..bigger houses..bigger stores…a few roundabouts..are popping up everywhere, even in Topeka , Kansas..and Tallahassee, Florida..and Charlotte, North Carolina..the houses…open floor plan for a bigger indoor look…with built in wardrobes..to hang clothes…bigger refrigerators…bigger washers and dryers..with separate rooms ..usually every room with a ceiling fan..screens on every window..home alarm systems…great air conditioning…all of which we have…so someone can complain about them…garbage disposals in the kitchen sink…larger rooms…larger back yards(garden)…large front lawns..garages built with the house…and depending where you live..most have basements..for additional space..for gameroom..or maybe another bedroom..or downstairs tv room…with room for another bathroom..
Are organic eaters the most gullible people? Put organic on a product and they will flock to it and pay double the price or I guess $14 for some bread. ha ha ha
Most English admit food in England is bland…while over here we add seasonings to virtually everything…Chik-fil-a is known for chicken sandwiches and nuggets…always extremely good…and their fries are what we call waffle fries..
I did enjoy the food in England. There is a process done on the milk in milk chocolate in the US that gives it that flavor people complain about. It was strange seeing so many small cars in the mall in Manchester. My driver was confident my luggage would fit in her estate car. It's what the US would call a compact car. No sugar bread in the US might have a warning, Not Low Calorie.
Thanks for your insight! I wondered what it was with the chocolate thanks for letting me know.
It's nothing to do with milk processing, just the difference in ingredients. Milk chocolate in the US contains more milk and less actual cocoa compared with European milk chocolate (10% vs 25% cocoa). Also, the beans are sourced from South America vs Africa.
You're a liar too. An "estate car" is a station wagon.
What grocery store do you shop at?? Give Aldi or Walmart a try. It sounds like you’re in California.
I had to put subtitles on the first third of the first Kingsmen movie
Weird flex
Not every country would celebrate those holidays. I would say that none of the Mid East countries would. Probably most of the African countries wouldn't. Neither many of the Asian countries.
No. The taste comes from the use of dry milk powder. It imparts a slightly sour taste. Many people not used to it says it taste like vomit. There are some really excellent chocolates made here though. I don't know where you but you can probably find Ghirardelli. Very good. Or any number of local (to your area) chocolate stores.
Sorry, there is no way I would ever even consider paying $14 for a loaf of bread. I would make it myself first.
Where are you living if a loaf of bread is $14 ? Are you in California ?
$14 bread? LOL You must be in California.
Or some (other) dystopia...
Hershey (and Nestle, and M&M Mars, etc.) are what you buy to give out to children on Halloween, because it's cheap.
If you want good chocolate in America, either you buy Dove, or Ghirardelli. (Dove is more affordable; Ghirardelli is expensive but higher quality.)
But without Milton Hershey you don't have either....
FOURTEEN DOLLARS for a loaf of bread??? You need to find a different grocery store girl. And fast. I pay $3.50 - 4.00 MAX for a standard loaf of whatever (rye, wheat, white, oat, etc.).
For me, it's irritating though since I used to pay like $2.50/loaf.
Hersey use to be good in the 80s amd 90s. But they kept changing the formula and take out the chocolate.
Yep, everything tasted better before the 90's. Then they took out everything that taste good and replaced it with chemicals to make it 'healthy'.
tastes like wax now - she should maybe try the dark chocolate bars and the chocolate bars from trader joes
You can thank the Heallth Paternalists for that.
Don't ever try to buy a house in England.
I went to port a sub. Got my medium sub and when I got to the window.Do just hands me the food but there's a jar there that says tips.And he even asked me if I wanted to tip and I was like I just bought this and food is expensive so sorry
Bread is definitely a question for being $14. I can buy a pretty great loaf of bread for around $4-7 and that's pretty expensive. Regular good old American sliced bread at Target is like $1.49-$3. Cadbury is different here and pretty much every region. Aldi has pretty good European chocolate.
Are you living in NYC or maybe San Francisco? Those are the only 2 places I can imagine you might get charged $14 for a loaf of bread, and certainly not for a commercial loaf of bread. Generally, given the current state of inflation, commercial breads might reach $5 or $6 per loaf in large cities, and maybe more for specialty organic breads. But typically, you should be able to get bread on sale any given week for about $2.50-$3.50.
I guess you never heard of Winston Churchill's remark that "the US and the UK are two countries divided by a common language"?
"Queue" is not a common word here. People are hearing "cue" or "Q". So they're confused. It's not only slang; there are regular words that have different meanings, such as "torch" and "bonnet." So we have British English, Canadian English, Australian English, New Zealand English, and American English, all with different accents and word meanings. And in the US, you'll get very pronounced accents in the various northeast, southern, midwestern, and western states. So sometimes Americans have difficulties understanding each other. However, I can understand you at least 98% of the time, and I'm enjoying your videos. Welcome to America.
The quality of the food here depends on where you go. If you're in a major city, you can get anything you want, including organic. But some of the best would be Mexican food, Greek food, and southern/Texas BBQ. See some of the YT videos on food in America.
As far as tipping goes, unless you're in an upscale restaurant, tipping is optional, and you base it on the quality of your service, anywhere from 10% to 20%. *If the waiter is inattentive or rude*, give them zero. A fast-food restaurant rarely provides any service, so they don't need any tips, although some are now offering an option to tip when you pay. But it's not necessary.
just like with anything, one needs a larger sample of data. Sure, these are her fresh experiences in the area where she lives. But remember, costs in California or in NY or large cities are generally much higher than in most of the USA.
British people, I don't know what to say. They are so different from Americans. They are our little brother and we're like the big brother. I'm surprised by the huge differences from the UK and USA.
I'm more inclined to see the U.K. either as the parent country, where we grew up and went off on our own as a country, or as an elder cousin.
@@vernonharden That's fair. and my first comment got deleted when I tried to correct my grammar. but parent country, where we grew up and went off on our own as a country that's a fair point but I don't know the history between UK and US.
@@EmmettBrown8, I know enough to know when to speak, and when to keep my yap shut. As for the comments you have to watch phrasing or words used in CZcams. I've lost comments, or had them blocked due to the filters.
Try Ghiradelli chocolate. It was started in San Francisco but I'm not sure it's still made there. It's probably one of the best. A little pricey. Also try to find chocolate in Mexican stores. It's seriously strong and delicious.
Califonria... I lived there for many years. A British person is going to be very alien there despite California being an "International" community. California is isolated in many ways. New York City is quite the opposite. Different ethnicities are so common here and to try to understand a different person's version of English is a natural thing. I'm not surprised that Californian's have a hard time understanding you. It's so sad. The way you talk is quite lovely. don't change a thing.
Happy you are in my country. We are a better place for it. Come to NYC someday!
Without Milton Hershey and his revolutionary technology chocolate would have remained a treat for rich elite Europeans. Not plebians. Show some respect.
The Americanization of Solo. It really is glorious
02:30 yeah yeah I think it's the Industrial farming that causes that
In the northeast, we have roundabouts - we call them rotaries. People come here from elsewhere in the country and freak out. But then after all, we are New England.
I lived in New England for a couple years in the 70s but forgot they called them rotaries. On the west coast we call them traffic circles and they're still pretty rare.
You are delusional!! I live in Southern California, one of the highest cost of living states, and I pay between $3 and $5 for a loaf of bread. And how are bigger roads scarier? Tiny roads terrify me. And I don’t believe for a second that anyone is actually asking for tip.
Apparently, she hasn't shopped around for bread (or her parents haven't). She didn't say exactly why kind of bread it was, but she did say the store's closed now. Certainly NYC or SanFran might have places that charge that much. Walmart in the midwest charges $3 to $4 for a loaf of Sara Lee honey wheat bread, and chain grocery store charge about $1 more. 6 to 8 lanes of high-speed traffic would be scary to someone used to a 2-lane country road, esp. when you're used to driving on the other side of the road. There are a lot of places that have a tip jar, or ask you when you're using a credit card if you want to add a tip.
Well, she's adorable
In spite of it all, I am glad you like it here. 🇬🇧 🇺🇸
Sydney Sweeney?!! They looks so alike.
US and UK -- two countries separated by a common language.
Bread should be costing you $2-4 per loaf.
USA milk chocolate is betty bad quality.
I can tell you don't food shop $14 for bread. You have to understand that your on another continent.
tips are important ,most restaurants pay servers very little most of there income is the tips they receive if you don't tip or tip very little rhe server will be working for almost nothing
If you are standing up don’t tip. Just tip 0 and smile. Who cares if they are mad.
I don't believe she is in America.
As a 50 something born and raised in the U.S. and retired from the U.S Army, I'd rather live anywhere else. The Trump Fascist regime has destroyed my country.
The scariest thing for a Brit might be driving on the wrong side of the road.
You have NOT EATEN ENOUGH America Foods to think it tastes bad. I OFTEN hear Brits say JUST THE OPPOSITE of what you have said. Try foods ACROOS the US before your make any judgements! Tr some Authentic Barbecue for example!! How is it that the Bigger roads in the US are "Scary". Brits I have heard say that they LOVE American roads as they handle traffic MUCH BETTER (due ti their size) than in the UK. They can travel 100 Miles in the US MUCH FASTER than 100 miles in the UK!
15 to 18 % tip is normal…not 22…
Hersheys definitely sucks, but there for sure are good chocolates out there
Walmart $1.20 for bread
No European will call that bread. Maybe American bread but mostly it will be called toast. The quality of it is just too low to be considered a bread.
You should make videos when you're out doing stuff in the usa. Vlog going to the store. Brit in American store ect. People eat that stuff up, fish out of water story lol myself included
I don't know where you're living, but if you're in a big city, you're making things hard on yourself. The best parts of America are away from the big cities. Cities have higher prices, more crime, more congestion, etc. The best places to live for a good American experience in my opinion, would be the smaller cities and towns in Florida, North Carolina, and maybe Virginia. I'm a big fan of the mountain towns in NC, like Boone. Not too crowded, prices aren't bad, plenty of housing and things to do, especially if you like the outdoors. If you like beaches, the Outer Banks is a great place to live as well. You couldn't pay me enough to live somewhere like NY, Chicago, LA, etc. I've been to many places in the US, and the big cities are just the worst parts of America. The only benefit is more jobs. The rest of your quality of life is terrible in comparison. I wish you luck on your journey regardless. Most Americans are struggling to get by right now because of inflation. 5 years ago things were a LOT more affordable. Gas in my area was $1.30 a gallon in 2019, now it's $3.25-$3.50. The world in general isn't in a great place right now, especially America.
5 years ago we had President Trump too.
Thats how we find out if they are Canadians they use Que lol. 14 buck for bread? you got took big time. Even here in California, we like our pickup trucks! We all tip here, its appreiciation for they work they do.
It's " queue "
American chocolate is said to taste a bit like vomit.
Dear... you may want to do a little more research on your bread prices. $14? No.
Not sure where you could get bread at $ 14.00 a loaf, $3.00 ( 2.5 pound) is more a common price or less here in Canada.......Sorry, I am not sure the words you are saying, cue, line?
Not trying to be a jerk, love listening to your accent, but did I get those two words right? Hope you find cheaper bread. From an old guy in the North.
Another thing about bread in the US, is that it ALL STINKS BADLY!! It has a stench to it that is absolutely DISGUSTING (so, I always bake my own bread). Unfortunately, I cannot bake my own bananas, as they tend to stink badly, here as well!!

I agree with you on the chocolate however you can find great chocolate in America LOL. Mainstream brand name chocolate is horrible
Prices are getting crazy here in the United states and that is coming from someone who has lived here most of his life.
Yes the different words are a bit confusing. Just make sure that you don't make the big mistake on cigarettes. We call them cigarettes here, not fags. Hope you don't smoke anyway as that is really bad for your health.
Words sounding different yes. But I can understand you as I am used to the accent.
However, I get that it sounds off to those who are not familiar with it.
Do you call it the King's English now? I know that the accent was sometimes called the Queens English but that may have changed?.
Food taste like desert or not as good? I am at a loss on that one as I have not been to England myself. Sadly they do put a lot of perversities in food here which I know are not good for us.
However, you can go get food that doesn't have that in the Organic section. It can be more expensive but it would be worth it. Ah! I see that you are already getting organic food.
$14 for a loaf of organic bread? Yikes!
Yes we do drive on the right side of the road here.😁 I could never understand why Europe had it backwards. There are a few roundabouts here but they are rare. I have one in my Neiborhood and recently they installed on a road that was normally used for highway speed traffic. It is not being received well.
Chocolate?😋I love me some chocolate myself. If you do remember which one you liked. Plese let me know. I would like to try it myself. ☺
Why you lying. $14 lol
There’s a lot of people fretting over a bread price. Sorry. Stick with the Brit accent and make them adjust to your accent. Americans need to get over a slightly different accent plus way more people will literally like you better being a Brit than the dumbo’s that can’t understand you. The farmers markets are a good way to go to get decent organic food. People trying to convince you to move to middle America…don’t listen to them. I’m from middle America and can attest to the fact that it sucks. West is the best. If anything move up to the Pacific Northwest it’s cheaper yet higher quality than California plus prettier. Oregon is rainy but nothing like Britain so once you get sick of getting overheated, sunburned, ripped off and living in t shirts go north. Enjoy
California used to be paradise, but Dems have changed it into hell. Lunatics run that state now, and have made it unlivable for anyone who has to work for a living.
What city and state do you live?
You need to know that chips is something different pretty much only in UK. Actually everywhere you go outside your island things will seem different. It must be hard to be odd. 😉

Kwik Trip white bread $.99
I live in the US and usually pay either 27 or 33 cents for a loaf of bread depending on the clearance price.
Your talking about prices? Oh, you must have moved here during the Biden administration! Before that things were much more reasonable.
Very nice work. I'm 63 years old, and take care of my 95 year old dad. Some of his chronic diseases that he had for several decades come from the poor quality food we have in the US. I live in NY where we have virtually any food you could want. My father lived through the depression, so, he has a serious problem with spending money. Because he always bought cheap food, he had chronic diseases like diabetes and metabolism syndrome and others. It took me a few years after taking over my father's medical care, but I managed to eliminate almost all of his meds by managing his diet. I minimize my father's sugar and carbohydrates to manage my father's diabetes; good-bye diabetes meds. I lowered his inflammation (medical code word for activating our immune system) by eliminating as much ultra-processed foods like McDonalds and seed oils. Since coal plants polluted our oceans with arsenic, mercury and other heavy metals, I supplement my dad's diet with omega-3 fatty acids.
Try to stay away from most of the Franken foods in America. Even our fruits and vegetables are GMO that is aimed at increasing shelf life, and eliminates much of the flavor and nutrition. Eliminate as much food processing from your food choices as you can, read food labels and become a better food consumer.

Why you Lie in so much.🤨🤨 No bread anywhere in the states is $14 a loaf.🤨🤨..and Tips are not 20 to 30%.🤨
If you go to an upscale restaurant they certainly are. There's no reason to say she's lying.
@@slkinia I live in New York City. We have the most expensive restaurants in the world. No bread is $14 a loaf. She's full of s***
My sympathies. ..hugs

Hi I am an American and I find your video Refreshing - The experience of learning and comparing a new country taken from the point of view of a teenager is quite Cool - Please keep making these videos I would like to hear your take on things here - By the way I am a HUGE DR WHO FAN and a lot of British TV is pretty Cool especially the many different Comedy Series ---Cheers
Thank you for your comment! I’m enjoying making these types of videos so glad you are too, I’ll post some more of this content very soon :)
Dr Who died after Peter Capaldi
I’d wouldn’t eat certain foods while in the United States without scrutinising the ingredients labels first. There’s so many chemicals in food in the US that that would be illegal in a number of European countries, and it does have an artificial taste. British chocolate is really nice, but American chocolate is pretty rancid.
Come back to Europe
We have been back a few times but I’m loving America so far!
@@mysolojourneys I can understand that, but you say yourself that everything is so expensive. But it's not just that, all food is full of chemicals and harmful ingredients that are banned in Europe.
You come from the UK, have you ever compared how expensive your health insurance is now and what you pay extra for doctor and hospital, that was all free, right. And there are many other disadvantages you have now. Think about all that and you'll realize that you've gotten worse, not better. It can be so nice there (I also know the USA, I was there for six months) but I wouldn't want to live there, I have more freedom here. Greetings from Germany
Thanks for your insight! I’d love to eventually visit Germany ❤
@@mysolojourneys Germany is such a gorgeous country. THERE you could gotten many ideas on how to improve your own country.
And every meal wouldn't be like licking the tables in chemistry class 😉
@@baramuth71 Their healthcare insurance isn't "Free" in the UK. They pay almost 40-43% in income tax, that's what pays for the country's "free" healthcare.
American milk is like white water by comparison. Perhaps the richer milk in England is the reason English chocolate is so much better?
I'll subscribe - because i think you did a good job - no doubt you will be a 100k subs well before my channels.
