More interesting clouds 😂 you were definitely not replaced by a clone
Ahahaha, nope. XD Exeter definitely needs more interesting skies!
'Ha...ha...haha....hahahahahahahhahahaha.........ahahahahahaha....ha..(and another) 'HA!!".....You are obviously correct...!
@@AuraliSofia better than the Midlands as the weather changes more quickly on the coast, I think.
@@AuraliSofia it is fine.
You are a credit to your country. So observant, open, diplomatic and intelligent. Thank you.
I'm British and one of my favourite things about the UK is that it attracts wonderful people from all over the world. I live in a small town at present and I can walk through the main shopping area and hear six or seven languages in a few minutes. Each culture that joins us brings something special and makes us a better country.
Only if this cultures are european. Not backward 3rd world cultures.
As an Englishman, the thing I like most is that we have retained the priceless ability to laugh at ourselves.
It is indeed a priceless ability, humour makes life so much better.
no you havent
hano verian Yes, self deprecation and 360 degree piss taking and freedom of speech. We were famous for these things, but now you can be fined or imprisoned for that in the UK. Conservative government? More like socialist overlords, and we all know where that leads.
Piss taking is what me and my friends do all the time but with no venom so no harm is being done but it's a great way to have fun and laugh at ones self.
But it gets harder and harder by the day!
I`m English and I love Portugal, Maybe there`s a good reason that England and Portugal have been allies for 500 years!
I find Portuguese people get our sense of humour, share many of our values and have a friendly, open attitude that never becomes overbearing.
ajb7876, the oldest alliance in the world!!!
ajb7876: More than five-hundred years. The Anglo-Portugese Treaty dates from 1373 and was ratified by the 1386 Treaty of Windsor.
My favourite thing about England is it is so multicultural, we get to see lots of beautiful people, with beautiful accents like yours 💕
The best thing I like about the UK is having immigrants like you that love the UK. Loved your video and I have been to Porto. Lovely city.
Your way of speaking English is beautiful. One great thing is that we are able to benefit from people coming here from many places and adding to the richness of the country .... so i hope you will stay with us!
I was so very impressed by her wide vocabulary. :)
If you don't have the rain, you can't have the roses.
My favourite things that I missed about the UK when I was travelling: pubs, countryside, the complexity, individuality and vibrancy of the people, the culture and the freedom.
It is so nice to hear a European having good things to say about England. Most of the time people are quite negative. I agree with most of what you say. I’m sure your attitude makes English people like you which always helps!
Thank you for such a nice comment! I love England so it was easy for me to make this video - the hard part was to choose what to focus on. :)
UK is simply amazing... I wish I lived there. The rainning and everything like that I can deal with, I love the rain and let's face it we have a looot of rain here in the North of portugal 😊 Hot days are the worse... although I enjoy going to the beach I just get dizzy and sweaty and that is the worse. About the food... well maybe ours is way better but you can live I guess 😊 And the gardens... the culure 😍 wow. AND THE LANGUAGE... like I just have an eargasm every time I hear british people talking
Glad you agree! I can't say I love the rain, but it's certainly better than unbearably hot days. And yes to everything else. :D
Ian Stevenson Thank you so very much! 😊
The woman in the video lives in Exeter, Devon. This is in the west of the UK where it does rain a lot. But further east it rains less. Any city will provide a variety of food.
well dont we dont have room fit every cunt that want tae bide in the UK,,only 1 kingdom left im th ujk and iys the kingdpm of fife,,SCOTLAND
It's nice to hear you mention cider Catarina, hope you've found your favourite 👍👍👍👍
Oh we like you... I hope your still here
This was an incredibly observant and sophisticated analysis. I’m British, but have lived in Canada for nearly 31 years. I’m coming back to the UK soon and I can’t wait x
Some kind words from a charmer of our oldest allies. Time for a glass of Madeira (Portuguese) with a slice of Madeira (English). Perfect.
Brilliant - intelligent and observant and doesn't focus on the trivial (like so many travel vids do - esp from Americans) People like you are most welcome!
Thank you! Glad you think so.
You are so lovely. I really appreciate all the positive things you say about my country. It really cheers me up to hear you being so complimentary about all the things I love too. Hope you continue to be happy here.
As an Englishman it did make me laugh. The way you listed different types of food. Thanks for your positive comments.
That was fun, thanks for the charming company.
The Brits established parks and Botanical Gardens in most of the former British Colonies. The Brits even take their gardens with them!
The west country, where you live, does have a very strong Cider culture. Its popular elsewhere, but the west country is cider country.
Great video! Just happened to find your take on UK and I really enjoyed it. I have a nephew in Edinburgh so I've see a lot of these types of videos....you definitely have a unique point of view...thanks!
You have such a lovely engaging personality. Really enjoyed your video.
What a lovely video! I love you chose personal and unpredictable things and I’m pleased you’re so happy and settled here xXx
That's an interesting list. Especially saying good things about the food and drink here (which can be terrible but yes, there's great stuff if you know where to seek it out). As a nation we are often pretty down on ourselves - especially lately. It's really encouraging to hear how others view the UK sometimes. As a Brit, one thing I'd add to your list that I always love and celebrate about the UK is our right, protection and access to our countryside. The vast network of footpaths and bridleways, many of which are afforded high levels of historic protection simply because someone used to drive some sheep down it three-hundred years ago. The large amounts of public owned space, including practically all our coastline. The right to roam. The reciprocal access to tracks across farmland, and the large protected areas looked after by charities such as the National Trust. I've travelled to many countries in the world with amazing nature and spectacular scenery, but few are as good at ensuring the public has wide-ranging, easy and protected access to that countryside as we do here. I'll forever love the UK for that.
The green in the UK, especially in Scotland, is obscenely beautiful!
Also, here's a trigger word: CROQUETES! XD
Filipe Carvalho croquetes!!!
The green is without a doubt greener in the UK. ^^
Croquetes! :o
Green and weather go hand in hand.
Devon is a fabulous County. Wonderful beaches, thatched cottage villages (truly English). Plenty of food choice, wonderful countryside. Exeter University brilliant.
Devon is indeed very beautiful. I'm a student at Exeter University so I agree, though I may be biased. :)
it is sunny today in Exeter.
@@AuraliSofia good library costing £12m. Ben Bradshaw is the Labour MP.
I love your Vlog and thank you for loving my county. I am a Londoner and love my city as its so diverse, I also think the British have an unbelievable sense of humour, one that I love
Love your feelings about the UK. I am impressed by your positive attitude Also you're comments about culture in the UK Nice One Cheers Alan. XXX
That was great. Loved the off-the-cuff list of biscuits. Fab.
It's very kind of you to say so. You are obviously an intelligent and discerning person.
You haven't just come to England, you have identified yourself with us. Thank you for a really pleasant video.
My you are a charmer ! For me being a Welsh man . What I like most is the countryside , the history and the language ( etymology ) . We have taken words from all over the world and adopted them into our language even yours ! I do hope you enjoy your time here and am able to travel around Britain and see more of it .
Excellent video, I like your observations.
Best vlog ever from a foreigner living in the UK. I will be looking at more of your content.
It's so nice that you enjoy so much about living in the UK. The countryside is beautiful and we have 140,000 miles of public footpaths so as nice as it is to see from the train there is a lot to explore 😀
It is natures gift, rain, that is the reason she is so green, what more could you want.
Congratulations, lots of people do these sort of blogs . Most are boring and predictable and dull deadly dull.
Your's wasn't . It was interesting, engaging and thoughtful .
Nicely paced without, waffle or padding or belly button gazing .
I found myself smiling as I watched .
So give yourself a pat on the back , say Im a really good blogger.
Cheers , I would offer you a pint of Cider ... but I'm in London not Devon.
Devon is superior.
Your command of the English language is superb. Great job.
2 minutes in and I'm "I like this girl" then you continue your with your fantastically amazing personality. Definitely going to sub
Fantastic video! As a Brit, what I like most about my country is the freedom to say and do what I want (within reason) and not get arrested. Oh, and about the weather: winter is grey and dull but summer can be lovely, just don't rely on it happening every year! You live in a wet part of the UK - the east is actually pretty dry by any standards. But saying that, Porto still gets nearly twice as much rain as Exeter :p
What a lovely video.
I’m from the West Country as well, near Bristol and cider drinkingis popular pastime particularly in local pubs.
Thatchers Dry is to die for - gurt lush is the expression around here.
By the way, the weather isn’t always wet or overcast!
I'm so glad you are enjoying being here. It was nice to hear of your appreciation for the BBC. Please tell English people because I believe not enough of us appreciate how valuable it is. And if you want 'more interesting clouds' and less rain you will have to go inland. Near Exeter you have Dartmoor and as clouds come in from the sea, Dartmoor, being high, turns them into rain.
A very eloquent and charming delivery, you are most welcome in our green and pleasant land. May you enjoy lots more BBC, Stilton, pies and sarcasm!
Well, I think it’s fair to say we love you for loving the uk. 💕👍😊
If you like the scenery around Exeter, head north
Then north some more until you get to Scotland, even English people I know can't wrap their heads around the Scottish scenery
As a country bumpkin from the south west of England I absolutely agree, Scotland has some incredibly beautiful scenery.
I'm in love with your accent! It's so nice! :-D
Your spoken English is excellent.
Thank you for a wonderful video, made me feel proud of the UK during these terrible Brexit years. We need more people like you to remind us of the best of ourselves and the best of the rest of Europe.
What I like about Portugal. The people, the politeness, the weather, the coffee (it's almost impossible to get a bad one), the food (particularly os peixes), pasteis de natas. No speed cameras (not here, yet). Easy parking. The beaches (it's almost impossible to get a bad one), Lisbon, Porto, Sintra Coimbra . . how long have you got?! Fully paid up member of the PT UK mutual admiration society.
Some clarification
On average it rains 1 day out of 3. But depends where you live. More so in north england/Scotland and 1 in 4 in south east. And on that third day the rain might be for 2 minutes or 12 hours -but on average somewhere in between.
That said it can rain for days - or could be sunny and dry.
Right now on 2nd July 2018 it has been sunny almost every day for 60 days straight now. The grass is burnt brown and the forests on fire.
love your acccent and your english is very good
Brit in the US. You made me homesick! Happy you are enjoying the UK--it seems to suit you.
Your English is excellent--just please don't lose your charming accent.
I like your video alot. I'm an English guy living in Belgium and I realize that the only way to get to know a country is to live there for a while. I'm orignially from Sheffield. Since you mention parks in your post I invite you to look at Sheffield from Google Earth and compared this to Manchester. Sheffield has a population close to 600,000 at it looks green like a small village. So many parks and something called common land.
By moving to Belguim I did realize something about England that I never realized was in a way unique. NEARLT CONSTANT WIND. Some of the windiest places on Earth are Ireland, Scotland and Northern England. I thought everywhere had wind like we did, but no, it seems that most people on Earth live in calm serenity.
I went to Guimaraes and although we were the only "tourists" in the museum that day, we were walked through the Museum by a young women who spoke perfect English and explained everything to us...I loved Northern Portugal particularly, it's funny because I thought the Portuguese were the most polite, laid back and sophisticated people I had ever met and we had wonderful food and wine
I am all ears to your videos and your thoughts some more,please.
Brilliant video, well done :-)
UK, the good old UK. I think the UK is awesome. Yes it like rains every day, but its a mild rain, no storms necessarily . It had a sort of calming effect on me. I was quite culture shocked when i got there, it actually took a long while to feel OK, but after a year, i didn't want to leave. I had the best Lasagna i have ever tasted i the UK.
Brilliant SotD vest!
Being an English person I can't say what I like about living here - I've never lived outside the UK so I've never experienced NOT having something specific. I do like scones with clotted cream and jam though. And proper tea. And I don't think you can go far wrong with our countryside :) I mean yeah the Grand Canyon and the French Alps exist, but having beautiful countryside right on my doorstep is pretty awesome too :)
If you are still here then pop along to my friend Jeremy's place at Colaton Raleigh village stores and try some of his Woodsy's Ciders. Tell him that George sent you and you may get a tour of his (small) Cider making plant.
I love this young lady!
This is the best outsiders view of England i`ve ever seen on youtube, and i`ve seen many. Shit weather, biscuits, cake, pub and taking the piss. Spot on!
I enjoyed watching that. It was nice to watch/listen to without the person trying to be funny (which they rarely are) or "zany"......well done and thank you......love your accent by the way
Wonderful video, and thanks for the compliments. I have subscribed)))
Re-biscuits, you ought to find some Ginger Creams, they're nice-last got them in Home Bargains. As for humour, John Cleese came from down that way-Weston Super Mare, Bill Bailey's from the West Country too. Try the BBC iplayer for some of their archive documentaries and their comedies 'This Country' is quite good about kids in a Cotswold village, also 'Witless' about two girls on witness-protection. Glad you're enjoying yourself here, good video!
I think WsM is great, Roald Dahl the famous childrens book author went to boarding school here, we got the Grand Pier which I think is the best pier in the country. We got Thatchers Cider, (a favourite of mine) cos the farm is only 5 miles away. We have the worlds largest dedicated helicopter museum with over 80 helicopters from around the world!! Hmm maybe I'm a bit biased haha! I'm sure you can deduce that from my name I live there.
My mum lives in Devon, Paignton way.
Nice to walk along canal and feed swans and other birds.
You said about humour being one thing you like - I can see from your t-shirt that you like Shaun of the Dead, you can't get much more British humour than that :D
She makes me smile.
Great video! If you would have said we have tea "down to a tee," it would have been perfect.
Enjoyed your comments.
You seem to know a lot about museums and would like to hear more of what you think of the different UK 🇬🇧 museums.
I dont know how i ended up here but i liked it. Nice choices.
Porto is a great city. Well worth a trip.
Absolutely agree, though being my home town I may be a little biased. :)
I'm also a massive fan of cider & probably would have emigrated if not for Stowford Press.
ProblemChimp omg, Stowford Press...😛
There's a German gir 'jen dre' with her blog, lived here for 8 years and speaks perfect English and like me her favourite alcoholic drink is Cider and her food Yorkshire pudding.
I think that Portuguese and English people get on so well because we've been allies for 700 years, in fact, Portugal must be the only country in Europe that we haven't had a war with! I've always found people from your country extremely nice (except for that streak of saudade you all seem to have). Glad that you've enjoyed moving here, no country can ever have too many pretty girls.
I wonder whether we get on so well because we are allies or whether we are allies because we get on so well. Either way, there is no doubt that Portugal has always kept its promises to us and we have reciprocated. There is a lot to be said for a relationship based on mutual trust and respect.
you’re beautiful❤️
Your positive attitude towards the Uk actually made me feel quite emotional. We’re always being slagged off by the EU bunch and by people banging on about our past, yet we’re actually nice people. Love you and you’re thoughts. Cheers
'Liked' and shared. your English is excellent. welcome to Blighty! :-D
I'am happy you enjoy yourself in England, You're Welcome, :]
It's funny.....I've been meeting many Portuguese speaking South Americans on trains over the last couple of years and when I've been earwigging to them speaking to each other, I have thought that they were Eastern Europeans with good sun- tans! Listening to your accent initially, I thought you were Eastern European as well...Funny, ain't it? I guess I always expect Portuguese to sound like Spaniards, I suppose.......
'Teatime'......you're sounding like a native already :)
I'm just up the M5 in Bristol . I'll buy you a decent coffee in the City of Bristol Museum cafe ☺️👍☕
Loved this... right up until you mentioned your love of the BBC. And this was 2017 after they had totally exposed themselves. Never mind. You seem like a lovely person. My wife of 31 years is Portuguese, from Madeira. She is like you in that she really does not like hot weather so is quite happy with the climate here. No idea if youre still making vids. i'm going to take a look, but regardless of what youre doing now i hope youre happy and healthy and life's being good to you. Adeus, minha querida 💋
Lovely place to move to.
I'm from the UK, but I like Albufeira for the sun
My God, at first I THOUGHT I heard you say "...I really enjoy LEAVING here.........."
"What have we DONE to this beautiful young lady ?", I asked myself - and then the penny dropped !
Phew ;-)
Please think about STAYING FOREVER !!
(And if we ever meet in the 'Double Locks' - the first Pint's on me !!)
With so many people being so negative about our country, it's nice to be reminded that we have some pretty great things that perhaps we overlook.
God bless you D enjoy
nice city to move to.
What does the ability to que refer to ?
Area to live, wath area??
Which zone??
A woman after my own heart that hates hot weather lol, I'm the same, I used to love hot weather as a kid but as I got older, I don't like it anymore and thats the modest hot weather in the UK, anyway, this summers been bad, I felt like I wanted to move to the north pole just to get away from the sun lol.
Love the eyebrows
I could listen to your sexy accent all day long!!! ... oh and please stay here you bring Sunlight to our shores x
I'm Scottish, but I've been to Porto. It's a pity that British people don't know that part of Portugal beet.
our MP is Ben Bradshaw, a nice Labour man.
And Greggs!!
Have you been to football in England?
top 5 "not so expensive" foods to try in UK?
-fish and chips
-typical english breakfast
-...
need 3 more suggestions
Off the top of my head, I would say pie (shepherd's, pork, cottage, steak and ale, there are many variations), Cornish pasties, Scotch eggs. Sunday roasts are also traditional and you can find some places where they're not expensive. Hope this helps!
cheers
HP Sauce!
Chicken Tikka Masala! It's the national dish! :)
Agreed, but you have never had a curry unless you had it in India. Curry in the UK is not the same.
