No doubt about it, California is expensive, especially San Francisco, but you could have gone around the corner from the hotel and that same $14 beer would have cost you $4.00. Location, location, location!
As a European (spain) that lives in the US and also I have lived in France, UK, Finland. Safety is one thing Europeans have wrong about the US. In the US there is crime, yes, but it is extremely localized, unless you are in those particular neighborhoods, you will barely see any crime. While in Europe you will have more chances of getting mugged or robbed. I feel safer using new york ' subway4than paris' metro. Waiting for a bus in plaza Castilla in Madrid at night has been way scarier than Waiting for the el in Chicago. I was a travel guide for many years when I was in my 20' s and early 30's so I had the chance to travel all over the world, and the US never felt unsafe. Again, avoid those bad neighborhoods and you will be fine.
I live in an area that I have seen listed as supposedly being dangerous due to high crime. The thing is if you look it up it is far and away property crime and that includes stupid stuff like kids throwing toilet paper in trees or eggs and stuff like that. The sort of things that are technically property crime but if they cause any monetary damage it is very little and nobody feels unsafe because of it. The entire state of TN has a murder rate of less than one per day so if there is any kind of murder or shooting or anything it is big news and it is almost always some sort of domestic thing with family or spouses or something. In my life I can only remember two incidents where it was multiple murders that weren't domestic and one of those made the news for like 10 years where they talked about the anniversary of it and the other one was where somebody from out of state got off the interstate and went to a truck stop and stabbed a few people which was super weird. That single crime resulted in a 25% increase in the murder rate for the year for a city with hundreds of thousands of people.
As much as a lot of the news media likes to hype up crime to get people worked up to keep them engaged so they can make money the fact is in 95 to 99% of the country your chance of ever being involved in a violent crime are virtually zero.
yeah, typical. usually certain areas of town that are bad. depending on the state, i live in Florida, assume we are all carrying😚
If that's the case why do so many people have guns for protection?? Makes no sense
How many times have you needed to put out a fire in your home? Yet you still keep a fire extinguisher close by, Makes perfect sense.
Most people will never have to use a gun for defense once in their entire lives.
Also you have to realize the 2nd A was not written for hunting or home invaders.
@danielh.5116 that explanation couldn't be more perfect. Loved it and true a 100%. That is another misunderstanding foreigners have about the 2nd amendment. Also 32% of Americans own guns, is not that all of us have them. When i go back to Europe to visit friends and family, they have the impression and truly believe that everyone has a gun depot in their houses. To be honest, It's hilarious and also sad at the same time such the level of ignorance .
You guys are awesome. Native Texan here. Don't apologize for any complaints you have. Americans are used to directness. I hope you guys find your way back to the Lone Star State some day!
Yup being a smart traveler and staying out of areas that are shady is the number one thing that makes a trip happy and successful.
Now that you've seen the US, I wish you would show us around Jersey. I'd love to see where you live! What shops do you have, and where do you go for entertainment and dining? Since you're so close to France, is there much French influence in Jersey? What's your climate like? I have so many questions!
You still haven't seen California, just LA and San Francisco. Go to wine country for gods sake. You have NOT been to Nor Cal.
It brings me a lot of joy that you both appreciated the friendliness that is abundant here. I'm in Texas where courtesy is just the norm. Honestly wish I could have met you both.
Yes, part 3 please. And congrats on hitting 200k! 🎉 🍻 I'm happy to see your channel growing.
Agreed! 🙂
i've been all over the states. every local everywhere loves to say "wait 5 min and the weather will change".
In San Francisco, the point about the fog is true. It burns off in the morning. It’s predictable.
@@Markle2k that’s morning fog in most places
Probably depends on where you are. Some places are more friendly and hospitable than others.
So, now you know just how scarily friendly Americans can be. We’re just that way. Elevators, escalators, checkout lines, getting gas, the ER/A&E, the vet, the post office, dropping off/picking up mail at your mailbox, the parking lot, you name it. The dog park?!!
You had the typical Panda Express experience.
Ewww Panda Express. The McDonalds of Chinese fast food.
Cat
I am in Santa Monica today- my daughter and her husband live here, so we visit several times a year. A beautiful city in LA. Such a pretty beach. We love walking the streets, the park, and the beach and pier.
PART 3 PLEASE, and while we're at it PARTS 4,5 and 6!!!!😂
I’d like to see videos set in Jersey that are like the ones you did in the U.S., to introduce us to your homeland.
Part 3 please. I'm glad you're back.
Yes. Part three would be fantastic!
Or as he would say part free
Yes and a bit more about driving please. Did you ever drive on and small two lane as in one lane in each direction and if so how was that. Also your thoughts on the car controls and did you find that odd?
@user-wr9ej6xe4j 😂 I love hearing him speak. Sometimes, I don't understand what he's saying. I love both of their accents. He has a strong accent, though.
It's always interesting to see what non-Americans think when they come here. I enjoyed your reaction to the clam chowder and gumbo. 🙂 Thank you for the compliments on the U.S. ❤
Hi y’all 👋🏼… you’re both looking wonderful! So glad you enjoyed your trip to our wild and crazy country 🙏🏼🇺🇸💞
Seems like Millie is getting more "Americanized" with her referring to California as "Cali", lol 😊
BUT, Californians never call it Cali. 😛
@@kriswoods7051😂 Americans do but not Californias. I live in Florida and I never hear that
Yes I’ve only ever heard people from other states call us Cali. We refer to ourselves as Northern Californians/NorCal, Southern Californians/SoCal or living in the Central Valley. There are also many Valleys in California and also living in the Foothills again either Northern or Southern California.
Wow, I'm here quickly!
Of course we want a part 3.
A tough person is not the same as a hard person. People who got on ships and sailed into the unknown in hopes of a better life, leaving everything, is a tough person. Heading west in a covered wagon, hoping you make it, is tough. I think toughness is in our genes and mentality bec of these type of ancestors.
One of the most valuable lessons I've leaned from my travels, is don't believe other's negative opinions about a place. I've learned that most of the naysayers have never been to the place they are warning you about.
...except Panda...believe that!
Absolutely do part 3!
So glad other youtubers reached out to help you guys get your channel corrected. I always enjoy your videos.
San Francisco is very expensive.... California expensive to.
The patriotism is due to the fact most of us realize how truly blessed and fortunate we are to have been born here.
Well, Texas has a pretty strong mythology that everyone knows. Not that it’s untrue, it’s just out there.
I disagree. The people who display the most over the top patriotism tend to be the most ignorant of what it’s like in other countries and refuse to admit that the US could do better in many areas. I don’t think it comes from a place of sincere gratefulness. It’s just tribalism.
@GrimScarlett I disagree. Although they do exist, they're a very small minority of patriots.
@@GrimScarlett You speak as if you know each "over the top" Patriot personally. You do not. Most places in this world leave a LOT to be desired. Travel once and you'll find out. Take Europe for example, the same Family runs Florence, Italy today that ran that town 500 years ago. If you wind up living there, and are a successful individual, you'll find out what that actually means.
@@Deborah-so8mvonly according to texans 😂
Panda Express is over rated. I see others suggesting that local Chinese shops are usually the better choice. Patriotism is pretty wide spread, but actually has diminished quite a bit in parts of the US. Glad it still resonates with you.
Just check trip advisor or something. All the best restaurants will have a reputation. Chains are usually garbage
I just keep quiet on politics.
Just like a lot of places, panda is nowhere near as good as it used to be.
A lot of these national companies, such as panda and KFC were taken over by venture capitalists. to cut down on expenses and to increase profit for the investors, they cut back on the quality of food
@@nullakjg767Mom and pops or local restaurants are the places to go
Patriotism shouldn't be about politics
To be completely truthful, American are only gonna do Panda Express at the mall food court...lol...there are too many good mom and pop Chinese restaurants just everywhere in America! Just know you never have to settle for bad Chinese food in America!
We have so many decent Chinese restaurants that I don't know how Panda Express stays in business.
Been ordering from the same chinese restaurant in my town for 20 years, the same little boy that use to do his homework in the waiting room is now one of the cooks. Thats when u know its fire
That's simply not true. Loads of brick and mortars busy as can be. It's just that a lot of people like bad food.
We have a drive thru Panda Express that's convenient.
give us the 20....it's definitely refreshing that you're doing different topics & even ones that others have said before in a different way
I like the idea of the Beesleys taking us through Jersey so we can see your little corner of the world.
Hufflepuff friendliness is in many areas of Texas.
As a Texan myself, I agree 🤠
Strangers will help you in Texas. I have been helped so many time without even learning people’s names! Car problems, directions, carrying heavy items from a store (female)…
Yes I definitely would love to see many more parts! Love hearing about y'all's adventure ❤
Some people in the US have the cowboy attitude. Rough and tough
Some states really love their flag. Texas, Colorado, Maryland (where I live) you'll see the state flags on a lot of souvenir type items and clothing then usually more the US flag in front of houses.
Do part 3, please. Your videos are really enjoyable
I love hearing about your adventures. I would also be interested in hearing about your hometown adventures.
I have to be honest here - Chain Chinese food places are terrible. The only good ones are the non chain, family owned Chinese places, which there are so many of that you will always be able to find one.
Panda Express opened near me recently. I didn't care for it. Will never eat there again.
PF Changs used to be pretty good. It's been a long time since I've been to one though.
I actually love Panda Express, but i respect that others have a different opinion on it
It isn’t always authentic, but I think it is mostly good.
Panda Express is not good.
Sure. . . give me part 3!! I love your observations.
I noticed the rocketship popup play place in the background. My grandson has the same in his room. He's six and I'm sure his younger brother will be in it soon. He's eighteen months. 😁
Feel free to do a part 3 or as many as you need. We will watch anyway.
Glad you had a good time, that's the most important.
I'm so glad we, as a country, did not disappoint. Seeing the US through your eyes reminds me how great we can be.
You are such nice people. Looking forward to a part 3.
Wonderful couple.
Come back to America anytime.
So happy you had some good times, and hopefully will have good memories of your trip to look back on someday. I hope you return Many times ☀
Part 3, Part 3...Thank you guys for coming to America with a completely open mind. People like to bash America, and these are people who, themselves, are usually scared of leaving their own comfort zone, scared to travel and have never actually been to America. Consequently, they want you to be scared like them. I hate to say it, but Europeans tend to be way more pessimistic than Americans, which is something I really struggle to understand. It seems you tend to be super focused on what could go wrong, especially people in the Germanic countries. With that type of mindset, how do you explore? how do you innovate? how do you pick yourself up and start over when life knocks you down? It's good to see the the Beesleys are not like that!
Hahahaha what????
Part 3 please! This is fun!
I would love to see part 3. I'm fascinated with the differences in our countries. And the perception of America and Americans. To include our little brother to the north.
Yes to a part 3
We may be tough, but not hard. If you ever get to Arkansas, my family would love that show you the Natural state.
I'm glad you all felt safe in America. I'm in North Carolina, and I come and go and I never feel unsafe in
my city. I live about 20 miles west of Charlotte, and yes, they have more crime than we do, but that's the case in all big cities, I guess. And I never see people wearing guns on their bodies. I guess people think guns are all over, and I guess a lot of people have them, but I never see anyone plainly showing they
have a gun. Of course I live in what's known as a "safe" neighborhood, but we have lots fewer crimes in out city, I'm glad to say. If you come back visit North Carolina. We have the Great Smokey Mountain National Park, part of the Appalachian chain of mountains; they extend from Newfoundland and Labrador in Canada to central Alabama in the United States, covering a distance of about 2,000 miles (3,200 km).
The section that runs through North Carolina and east Tennessee is a magical place to me. I'm so glad you enjoyed your time in America. We love our land.
Well good to see you back on. I have some catching up to do, so that I can understand what happened.
San Francisco is way more expensive than even the rest of California.
even in the 1800s, the Japanese diplomats commented that it was expensive.
Malibu has the most expensive houses in the US. Pebble Beach in Monterey also has more expensive houses than SF.
It's a city that only exists because there was a ton of gold there. The economy has been screwed since it's inception
Speaking about cities in general, probably. I'm native Californian and haven't everywhere, but there are small cities up the coast and up in the Sierras that just blow Frisco prices away.
It’s sure is. I’ve always grown up knowing that on Sundays you didn’t pay to park at a parking meter. But that’s not the case in San Francisco. You paid to park at the meters even on Sundays.
I found that out in the late 90s and that was before San Francisco became very expensive.
I enjoyed your first one, and this one as well! Please do a third, I’m sure it will be just as delightful.
As a California native, I stay out of San Francisco. My mother went to highschool in San Francisco. I only go to the VA at fort Miley in San Francisco. I used to have relatives in San Francisco. Haven't seen them in decades.
I have enjoyed these little reflections of your trip, and especially the positive outlook. Maybe some American rubbed off on you on your trip, just kidding, you both are wonderful always. Thank you for your stories, and yes I'd love to hear more. Great video, thank you for sharing.
More parts, yes!
The beer you should try is the Spencer. Made by Monks in Spencer Massachusetts. Very good
Yes part3 please.
I did not know you were back it looks like I missed about five videos😊
Did you readjust to grocery shopping when you got home? Love you three!
Prices are always higher in the larger cities. Much less in smaller towns and communities.
I would like to see a part 3. Also, I would love to go visit the UK someday.
More!
Do a part 3 - we love hearing you compliment us, lol!
Yes, definitely do a part 3, please---and 4, and 5, and 6!!!! ❤
On the friendliest part. I have friends from Liverpool and they told me Americans are some of the most accepting people. Like I said football instead of soccer and my friend Ross was like see we wouldn’t do that
I think if people hear your accent they would be more friendly
I would generally say that for the average visitor with relatively few exceptions America is quite safe. Much of the violent crime is over personal disputes or drug turf in areas where the average visitor is very unlikely to go unless they are seeking out such areas for some bizarre reason. The top 50 most dangerous areas are generally areas that have been pretty bad for a long time and are definitely not major tourist attractions. Even locals living nearby don't typically go to such places either.
Part 3!
This was fun to listen to you guys!
I think we warn people as far as safety because there are some dangerous areas. If you get off the beaten track, it could mean trouble. If you are in touristy areas it generally won't be a problem. Although, some places are going downhill pretty rapidly.
Yesssss! Part 3😊❤ I’m happy that y’all had a great experience on your journey to America 🇺🇸 It is definitely an amazing place to live!!! Mississippi here!!❤😊❤😊
Love hearing your feedback... Texas here ❤
7:09 1. california's expensive and 2. hotels are absolutely famous for overcharging for everything
literally any nearby convenience store or grocery store has virtually everything they sell at like half to 2/3 the cost
I don't eat Panda Express. Don't feel bad.
Continue making more.
Love your videos part three PLEASE ❤
Bring on part 3, please.
Panda Express is one of those places that some locations are great and some locations are meh. Definitely worth trying again the next time you guys come to the US and maybe ask your viewers where the best PE is in whatever area you go to to give it a fair shot.
Part 3, part 3, part 3!
Try shiner beer
Please do more
I agree Panda Express is terrible.
Part 3 too please
Fly your flag,your neighbors will follow. When we bought our house,we were the only home with the flag flying in the neighborhood. 6 years ago now literally every house has a flag now.
I try and tell everyone to fly their flag in their country
We don’t have a Panda Express here but three small local and even though all different all so well done.
Living close to the border it’s not unusual to have visitors from Canada ask for info and personally have never heard anyone give them a hard time with help, one lost man I had follow me out of the backroads when his road was blocked and couldn’t follow his directions to his destination, the smile and thanks made my day.
Parts 3,4,5,6...thank you!
About the flags and the pride in America, I've heard many in the UK and Scotland say the same thing, they just don't see that over there. Well, I don't know about that. I was watching the Scottish Tattoo performance, and it seemed like a heck of a lot of people either had a Scottish flag in their hand, or painted on their face. I was a bit shocked, after all I've heard.
As an American, Panda Express is not your best Chinese food. Decent for fast food but the mom and pop spots are waaaaay better. Also try Ding Tai Fung next time when ur in Cali.
Yes please! A part 3!
As an American, I was so upset when I saw you guys go to Panda Express. Their food isn't very good, and the portion sizes are just tiny. I honestly don't even understand how they stay in business.
No flag pole, no problem! Balcony or patio, window, flat on a wall, or even just a sticker.
9:31 it is election year too in the US
You need to go to ma and pop Chinese restaurant so much better than panda express. I prefer those type of businesses. Grocery shopping is different..
Being my first post on your CZcams channel, there is a need to understand no matter where you are, or what you are doing, and no matter how much you prepare, at any moment life could abruptly change, so to avoid regret, live it to its top.
If you get a chance it would be great to see you do a reaction vid of American cocktails. I have heard from other Americans that went to the UK that US cocktails are much better because we use more alcohol and mix it differently. Where you buy the drinks makes a big difference in price.
I don't know about all of us but I was telling other youtube channels that have been around for years that y'all were in trouble with your chsnnel. Glad to see that some offered help.
Hotel restaurants and taverns are always extra expensive, as you're paying for the convenience, not just the service. On the other hand, you typically find a coffee maker in the room and free packs of coffee for them, and you can get extra coffee if you ask for it, along with free toiletries, shampoo, toothbrushes, extra towels, etc.
Yes, part 3, please
10:16 there’s a street shared by the us and Canada
On 1 side of the road there are many flags and on the other there aren’t
It’s actually kind of funny
Hi y'all, glad you're back! Is little Archie talking a lot these days? I hope all three of you are doing well. Til next time, good-bye!
If you come back, you should come to the Midwest
