Your right about Rachel. I'm a Great Grandmother as of 2020 live in the Pacific Northwest. Americas that have only know American Culture with it's bonus " Only Traditions Known " Rachel scores 💯... I was started chuckling when she answered with my answer... Great Indoctrinations over the past 100 years.. 🕊️🇺🇲
yep! agreed 100%, i watch the kumars mainly coz i just love rachel's astute responses, sorry bro logesh, but as i've commented previously, logesh sets the scene up so well, then all of us waiting for rachel's responses, love ya both !!
Lived in America for almost 20 yrs.The ones that got to me the most are : -The "strongly suggested" 15% tip -Ads for medical products -The sales tax and yesss those Easy Cheese cans. On the other hand there are things in America that I find endearing and merit following : Americans are super polite people.They are forever saying Hi and smiling at you and always at the ready to open doors for you. While driving they stop for pedestrians and god forbid if you get caught going over 10 miles per hr.in a school zone.They are stickler for rules like waiting for their turn in line,adhering to traffic rules,being considerate road users,not littering,not parking in handicap zones... just to name a few. Sorry Logesh Im with Rachel on the Girl Scouts Cookies.I love those and always buy a bunch to make them last a year.My all time favorite is Thin Mint. Fun video guys 😍
Rachel here! First of all, YES!! Thank you for supporting me on the Girl Scout Cookies. Thin Mints are my second favorite, Samoas are my all time favorite! That warms my heart that you think Americans are polite, sometimes it depends on where you live in America, some areas are more polite than others. And you are totally right about stopping for pedestrians, and being stickler for rules. There are definitely a lot of really great things about America!
Tapi tu cuma dalam colloquial bahasa percakapan, dalam Standard General American English, kena guna sama macam English seluruh dunia, one housand four hundred.

Not everyone here in Malaysia afford to apply credit card, we now use something call e-wallet. You can pay by using e-wallet from your smartphone, its convenient, you don't have to withdraw cash all the time.
We, the oriental people are educated not to owe money as much as we can, but the western culture (especially the capitalism culture) wants the people to use money by credit, even though the people are not eligible to take the loan. That's why there was the subprime crisis in 2007.
Im glad the government recommend every Malaysian to use wallet-less payment. It is sooo convenient not to bring huge thick wallet in my pant. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
this is an informative episode. we got to learn different cultures in America. This is helpful especially when watching American movies/TV shows, like when they show something that Malaysians are not familiar with. For instance, the tip-giving, penny/quarter coins etc. so that explains. tq!
I'm watching this video for the first time and I'm from Malaysia 🇲🇾 Kumar's family is always inspiring and they're being so honest. May God Bless this beautiful family 💕
During my early years in Malaysia I got homesick of pumpkin spice latte since they don't sell it at Starbucks. What can I say? I'm a basic (half white) American guy!
Lokesh....Rachel Nice video... The metric system & date; i worked with North Americans.... Every time I got stuck with the measurements.... And emails with date starting MMM DD YYYY/YY... Keep posting videos.
In my country, for many restaurants service charge is already included in the bill. In fast foods mostly, it's not. But we don't get served by a particular person so it's hard to give a tip. For restaurants without service charge it's up to the customers if they would give a tip. Tip is equivalent to how happy customers were with the service. You don't get banned by not giving a tip.
malaysia dont have a tipping culture is because we actually paid our waiter and waiteress a salary... while waiter and waiteress in america get paid below minium wages and have to survive on tips that they earn to actually make a living.. apparently this is to ensure that the waiter and waiteress provide a good service to the customer.
Exactly. After all the huge portion of foods, they expect us to calculate tips? My stomach are already taking all the effort to process, there's not enough blood flow left for the brain.
Tipping is not mandatory. Please don't feel you are obligated to tip. Despite what you may have heard, people who work in these positions make minimum wage, set by the local government. Americans are very generous, and individualistic and we loathe to patronize businesses whom don't meet our standards thus why tipping is held as a carrot. It seems European and Asian countries do not emphasize good service and just accept bad service for which they have the pleasure of paying for. Americans are more than willing to pay more for their services, but the operators of these businesses are simply too greedy. Case in-point, now, during the COVID situation, may businesses are closing simply because they cannot find enough workers to fulfill. The solution is simple, raise the wages of the workers and raise the prices of the goods or services! But instead, the operators choose to shut-up shop!
The tips are suppose to give the servants/waiters, but in Malaysia, that 10% service charge will never fly from the pocket of the boss to the hand of those employees...
Ahahahaha " mom act like we have it tho" ~ if american read this, i dont think they will understand the malaysian habbit of buang sampah dalam lubang sinki sampai tersumbat feeling feeling ada garbage blade kat bawah ,😝😝😝
My mom would hang a small plastic bag on top of the sink for us to throw away all leftovers into before putting the dishes into the sink. Then she'll tie it up tightly before throwing it in the garbage bin. That way, the sink won't clog up and the kitchen won't smell of food waste. You could also use it as composte if you wanna go one step further.
Ok next video would be Rachel reacting to things that only happen in Malaysia or weird things that Rachel finds in Malaysia... I am sure THAT would be fun
in Malaysia, we got free refill at Carl Jr., used to be free at Subway, Texas Chicken but ofc Malaysian gonna refill more than 2 times 😂 me included.. forgot Mcd got free coffee or tea refill in the morning
I'm in Canada. Garburators are a rich people thing. Most families here don't have them (at least where I live; I don't know a single person who has one).
Hi Kumar & Rachel, tqvm for all the info. Very interesting and knowledgeable. God bless you both. I love to see you both...continue to do you vlogs. Enjoying all of it. Stay safe. Take care.
Have just discovered your videos and am thoroughly enjoying them. Doggy bag. Earlier people were ashamed to say in a restaurant that they would take home and eat the same food for dinner or the next day. So they started saying ‘I’d like to take this home for my dog’. So it was called a Doggy Bag. In the year 2000 when I moved from Malaysia to Sri Lanka my apartment had a garbage disposal. Having traveled extensively in the US I was familiar with it. But being Asian disliked wasting energy to grind food waste which could be dumped in the bin. And I can so totally get the Malaysian food connection. Even now if visit KL first thing in the morning my friends will Tapao kway tew and fried bananas for my breakfast and my absolute favourite is Beef Rendang and Nasi Lemak, though my hubby prefers Kampung Chicken.
First of all, great video 👍🏻😂 1) same as US 2) tipping is optional, there is no meaning attached to the %, there usually is a “coperto” (about 2€/person) symbolizing bread, cutlery etc (it’s weird I know), but it doesn’t go to the waiter 3)not as big as in US but I’d say generous, coffe is microscopic. The doggy bag is something new here, in the past it was kinda shameful to ask for leftovers, glad it’s not the case anymore 4) nope 5) only for over-the-counter meds which, in any case, must be purchased in pharmacies and not in the supermarket. I was 😳 when in US I saw ads about meds for serious illness. Like, should I tell my doctor what to prescribe because I saw it on tv?(wrote this before seeing you saying the same!) 6) why? WHY? it’s so confusing! just because every state and every product category has its percentages, the price should include everything in order not to confuse people. Here the price includes everything. Those who have a company and can deduct taxes ask for an invoice, not just a receipt, and there the price is shown in all its details. 7)metric. Come on! 😂 8)different colors here too, but I think we win on the coins… we have 1 and 2 cents coins!!! Nobody wants them!! 9)same as Malaysia. About ID to verify credit card, it was abolished in 2016 to encourage the use of electronic payments and reduce tax evasion. 10) no, also because it’s very complicated here to sell anything…. bureaucracy is hell 11) no special things for autumn season,unfortunately! I love it. 12) no, we recycle those in the compost 13) only at IKEA and possibly some other foreign restaurants. I don’t think we can do that at McDonald’s, but I’ll try! 14) we have it but it’s mostly online. We do have winter and summer sale: they start after winter holidays and at the beginning of July, last for 60 days, and each year, each region of the country decides the exact starting day
Thought you're a Sri Lankan by the look in the first place. Ha Haaa.... And the words and the foods used by Kumaar are quire similar to ours. You both are absolutely made for each other. Love from Sri Lanka. ❤❤❤
You have no idea how many times i repeated the autumn flavour part.. It cracked me so badly.. Not that i knew anything about that part since i am malaysian too.. Its because Rachel cracked, and its contagious.. I learned a lot in a fun ways anyway.. I could really use some laughter, Its a good thing since we are having the 2nd cmco here in malaysia.. Stay safe guys.. As always ❤️ from the borneo island of malaysia..
Rachel here! You have no idea how long I laughed, Logesh edited most of it out since it was so long, hahaha! I love the idea that he thinks that Americans actually have an autumn flavor. Glad you learned a lot of fun things about America!
fun fact..actually you can leave a tips to the restaurant in malaysia at thr cashier. just say baki simpan then they know that you giving them tips..it's uncommon but the reaction on their face is priceless haha
another different story with me. when I'm at Mamak, they were always give me discount instead, let's say if I have to pay for 5.40, they'll just 5, and I'll make cutesy face in return 😁
True.. Even for 50 sen. Another thing is, when you give them angpow for CNY and duit raya for hari raya. They will thank us like we are giving them a huge amount 😂
14:45 I can't talk for Malaysia because of me being Indian. So we don't have garbage disposal instead we clean it ourselves when we face the Issue of what you just mentioned.
Garbage disposals... That was my MUST HAVE when I renovated my house. So I have it. You’ll see it being promoted at Home Fairs now. A few new condominiums in KL actually installed them as a perk.
Out of all these American cultural niche, I would say tipping the waitress is uniquely American. I remember in the opening scene of the film 'Reservoir Dogs' (Directed by Quentin Tarantino) when Mr. Pink (Steve Buscemi) refused to tip the waitress, the rest of the robbers were upset. He finally relented when Mr. White (Hervey Keitel) reminded him that 'waitressing is the no. 1 occupation for female non-graduates in America. It is basically a job any woman can get and made a living on. The reason is because of their tips.'
Seriously i like this kind of video/content..this video help input me on other country culture..tho ive no chance yet to go there..will or never..atleast learning it as add knowledge is good enuf..👍👍👍..more video guys..love it..love u guys😘😘
There is garbage disposal machine in Malaysia but expensive and mostly high end property owners install them.( mainly people who have experience such devices overseas. ) It’s suppose to drain into the sewage system and not the drains as in normal drainage water.
Good infomation given. As i noticed american likes to have different things with others.. and i like the way these two lovely couple presented it.. mmg best arr kumar and after listen to it how grateful we are in malaysia... haahha share some more Kumar.. love to hear it from you two...
Doctors usually are paid to promote and they follow this strictly to enjoy all kinds of benefits. No doctor will prescribe what you like. We may call it an affinity-nexus that never fails. When they announced that you are diabetic at a lower indicator, suddenly 75% of population wakes up to discover they have become diabetic after 8 hours of sleep !!!
Rachel here! Oh my goodness, yes!! I have wondered the exact same thing. My only explanation is that Americans like to make things as difficult as possible 😂
This was very informative and nice to watch. ❤ The advertisement for medicines really got me. I am a doctor and it's so dangerous to take Apixaban like tablets just like that. It can actually put someone in shock.
As an interior designer who had to do product survey, never have I encounter a garbage disposal. I want that in my house. Unfortunately, they don't exists here.
0:51 ahhhhhh.. so that explains the Diner Dash games, I've been wondering for so long why do we need to drag the customers why don't they go to the seats themselves lol. 5:52 hm.. does 'anda rasa saya ada masa ntuk sakit kepala' counts?
Remember in Malaysia when 7E did the RM1 for unlimited slurpee, people literally brought buckets to fill it in. So yeah with free stuff people really go wayyy over and beyond here in Malaysia 😂
When McD did their free refill (I think it was around 2005), my friend would bring home the cup and return back later in the day with that cup asking for a refill. He reused the same cup for days just to get free coke refills.
Regarding credit cards... I believe no other countries need to verify your ID other than US is because everywhere else have moved on to Chip n Pin for a decade or more now while US is still predominantly swipe n sign
Almost all establishments now have a chip system in addition to wireless NFC payment system. Please consider, America is a very large place with very large cultural inertia, this is one reason why it may seem America uses outdated systems, because we are first to pioneer new types of systems and last to upgrade existing systems.
In Singapore, we have annual Girl Guide cookie sale and the flavours are exclusive too, baked by Kong Guan, a large SME in Singapore. My favourite is mint cream 😀
Haha, I remember my father used to say that he learns in school about Fahrenheit.. I think it was in 70s something they change the conversion. im not sure about the Educ. Ministry reason tho. But i can be sure that the older folks are quite good in many different conversion system up to this day.
10:19 i think western people teenager body size is quite similar with an adult, that's why they want your ic 14:37 as logesh said, that's why someone is created a small hang dustbin near the kitchen 15:11 Last time mcd has free-refill and not really needed, because Asian appetite is small compare with Americans, for subway is free-refill drinks
Hey guys, love your channel. Just want to say there are medicine advertisements in Malaysia, like Panadol, sore throat lozenges, and cough syrup. Also, part 2 pls!!!
you guys make me miss USA.....I just missing America so much..... the weather, the people, some services, loud conversation, donut, etc .... I hope to be back....
As for the pharmaceutical ads. In the US, our pharma research is extremely advanced than any other country in the world. I think only Israel comes close to the US in terms of pharma research. So nothing wrong if the drug companies advertise what new drugs are available in the market. The best thing is the ads highlight the potential side effects from these drugs. You need to get a doctors prescription to get it anyway.
I've tried that girl scout cookies before 😂 it's good 🥰 I'm a girl scout here in Malaysia and we have a English Teaching Assistant (ETA) for every school and one of our teacher's from Minnesota and she bought a few of that for us to try. I do like it a lot especially with vanilla ice cream 🤤

Texas Chicken in Malaysia give a free refill I think. Not like Mcd and other fast food restaurant.
Yeah texas is free refill
Nando' s also provides free refill
Just a random fact relating to this. Texas chicken is known as Church Chicken in the US
Yup... Nando's and Texas Chicken offer free refill. Subway and McDonald's too, a long long time ago. I'm not sure if McDonald's still having those. 🤔
tapi rasanya tak semua cawangan ada refill 🤭
Number for example: 1400
American: fourteen hundred
Malaysian: One thousand four hundred.
I prefer the msian version since it is easier to understand and remember. Well, i learn in school since young that way to count numbers.
Its not the Malaysian way, its the metric system.
Only Americans used empirical system

12) no, we recycle those in the compost
13) only at IKEA and possibly some other foreign restaurants. I don’t think we can do that at McDonald’s, but I’ll try!
14) we have it but it’s mostly online. We do have winter and summer sale: they start after winter holidays and at the beginning of July, last for 60 days, and each year, each region of the country decides the exact starting day
Really enjoyed this video...lol... Keeping em coming guys!
Girl scout like cookies are found at Walmart and the Dollar Store now. You're welcome...lol
Proud of you Logesh, more videos , interesting
Love it bila u membebel Kumaar! This vid is informative. Buat lagi yea! Salam kenal!
I have heard portion sizes are huge here but am yet to find such a restaurant:(
I had drain crusher in my sink in malaysia. It was so much relief but It was in apartment in KLCC area
Always wanted this video tq Rachael and logesh 💙💙💙💙
Thought you're a Sri Lankan by the look in the first place. Ha Haaa.... And the words and the foods used by Kumaar are quire similar to ours. You both are absolutely made for each other. Love from Sri Lanka. ❤❤❤
You have no idea how many times i repeated the autumn flavour part.. It cracked me so badly.. Not that i knew anything about that part since i am malaysian too.. Its because Rachel cracked, and its contagious.. I learned a lot in a fun ways anyway.. I could really use some laughter, Its a good thing since we are having the 2nd cmco here in malaysia.. Stay safe guys.. As always ❤️ from the borneo island of malaysia..
Rachel here! You have no idea how long I laughed, Logesh edited most of it out since it was so long, hahaha! I love the idea that he thinks that Americans actually have an autumn flavor. Glad you learned a lot of fun things about America!
fun fact..actually you can leave a tips to the restaurant in malaysia at thr cashier. just say baki simpan then they know that you giving them tips..it's uncommon but the reaction on their face is priceless haha
another different story with me. when I'm at Mamak, they were always give me discount instead, let's say if I have to pay for 5.40, they'll just 5, and I'll make cutesy face in return 😁
True.. Even for 50 sen. Another thing is, when you give them angpow for CNY and duit raya for hari raya. They will thank us like we are giving them a huge amount 😂
14:45 I can't talk for Malaysia because of me being Indian. So we don't have garbage disposal instead we clean it ourselves when we face the Issue of what you just mentioned.
Girl Scout cookies is a fundraiser to help with the cost of the troop going to camp.
Red ink to be used for negative (deficit) and black ink for positive ( yay! We made profit!) for the ledgers, hence Black Friday.
Wow! never had imagined you’re a Milesian! Thought you were an Indian or Srilanka.
Garbage disposals... That was my MUST HAVE when I renovated my house. So I have it. You’ll see it being promoted at Home Fairs now. A few new condominiums in KL actually installed them as a perk.
this is so informative and enjoyable to watch!
Yeahh..gua slalu support kau bro
Out of all these American cultural niche, I would say tipping the waitress is uniquely American. I remember in the opening scene of the film 'Reservoir Dogs' (Directed by Quentin Tarantino) when Mr. Pink (Steve Buscemi) refused to tip the waitress, the rest of the robbers were upset. He finally relented when Mr. White (Hervey Keitel) reminded him that 'waitressing is the no. 1 occupation for female non-graduates in America. It is basically a job any woman can get and made a living on. The reason is because of their tips.'
McDonald's used to have free refill drinks in Malaysia. Now only some fastfood like Texas Chicken has free refill.
Good to know for next time we're in Malaysia!
Don't forget Nando's too!
And Carl's Jr.
Seriously i like this kind of video/content..this video help input me on other country culture..tho ive no chance yet to go there..will or never..atleast learning it as add knowledge is good enuf..👍👍👍..more video guys..love it..love u guys😘😘
Great video! Need more video like this.
There is garbage disposal machine in Malaysia but expensive and mostly high end property owners install them.( mainly people who have experience such devices overseas. ) It’s suppose to drain into the sewage system and not the drains as in normal drainage water.
Good infomation given. As i noticed american likes to have different things with others.. and i like the way these two lovely couple presented it.. mmg best arr kumar and after listen to it how grateful we are in malaysia... haahha share some more Kumar.. love to hear it from you two...
There is commercial for over the counter medicine like panadol but not anything that needs a doctor prescription
LOVE THE THUMBNAIL YOU GUYS! ♥️❤️
yeah i love this kind of video mr and mrs kumaar! keep it coming....wanna know more about American culture..!
Awesome reaction,nice to hear both of you😁
One can avoid asking for Id at time of purchaseby CC by using two factor authentication
Learned a lot.really enjoyed
God bless you Mr and Mrs kumar
Garbage disposal is not in malaysia. Maybe we need this
Omg the dime and penny thing!!!! So relatable!
Lovely couple. watching this from Malaysia.
Doctors usually are paid to promote and they follow this strictly to enjoy all kinds of benefits. No doctor will prescribe what you like. We may call it an affinity-nexus that never fails. When they announced that you are diabetic at a lower indicator, suddenly 75% of population wakes up to discover they have become diabetic after 8 hours of sleep !!!
awesome video! Why in America they drive on the parkway and park on the drive way??
Rachel here! Oh my goodness, yes!! I have wondered the exact same thing. My only explanation is that Americans like to make things as difficult as possible 😂
I tip zero if service is terrible, 10% if bad, 15% for normal, and 20% if really good.
Tipping is like paying takes for eating food 😂😂
Saya dari Malaysia bro saya suka tengok vlog awak kerana iya menarik
You guys are so fun to watch...and so so cute together. Maasha Allah. May God bless the both of you and your little ones♥️♥️♥️
This was very informative and nice to watch. ❤ The advertisement for medicines really got me. I am a doctor and it's so dangerous to take Apixaban like tablets just like that. It can actually put someone in shock.
So informative guys..keep it up..
I like this, i love it when we celebrate differences.
I use my mother's and wife's credit card they use vice versa, no one asks for ID proof here in India. Thank God.
As an interior designer who had to do product survey, never have I encounter a garbage disposal. I want that in my house. Unfortunately, they don't exists here.
They exist. I have a few in my houses in Cyberjaya. The insinkerator...
@@kitsunehikaru-4268 "they exist"... Title sci fi horror film john carpenter ehh??
ada bro. rumah org2 kaya kebanyakkan dorg install garbage disposal ni.
I love your videos...especially this one. Hilarious and informativea😁
Road to 100k subscriber kumar. Congratulations 🎊
You guys make me homesick...I miss my garbage disposal... sini ada lonkang dapur selalu tersumbat kat lantai, ya ALLAH....
This is funny and also a good video! Nice to know that...
Very informative to malaysian mr kumar, tq.
0:51 ahhhhhh.. so that explains the Diner Dash games, I've been wondering for so long why do we need to drag the customers why don't they go to the seats themselves lol.
5:52 hm.. does 'anda rasa saya ada masa ntuk sakit kepala' counts?
Aah kannn , ok now da paham
Panadol?
Gunalah panadol
Remember in Malaysia when 7E did the RM1 for unlimited slurpee, people literally brought buckets to fill it in. So yeah with free stuff people really go wayyy over and beyond here in Malaysia 😂
When McD did their free refill (I think it was around 2005), my friend would bring home the cup and return back later in the day with that cup asking for a refill. He reused the same cup for days just to get free coke refills.
i like this content! thanks for sharing, rachel!
Regarding credit cards... I believe no other countries need to verify your ID other than US is because everywhere else have moved on to Chip n Pin for a decade or more now while US is still predominantly swipe n sign
Almost all establishments now have a chip system in addition to wireless NFC payment system. Please consider, America is a very large place with very large cultural inertia, this is one reason why it may seem America uses outdated systems, because we are first to pioneer new types of systems and last to upgrade existing systems.
In Singapore, we have annual Girl Guide cookie sale and the flavours are exclusive too, baked by Kong Guan, a large SME in Singapore. My favourite is mint cream 😀
i like this kind of content 😍😍pleasee do moree
In India, no compulsory tips (your choice) and no free refills. But recently I've seen some price tags without including the taxes, it's annoying...
Haha, I remember my father used to say that he learns in school about Fahrenheit.. I think it was in 70s something they change the conversion. im not sure about the Educ. Ministry reason tho. But i can be sure that the older folks are quite good in many different conversion system up to this day.
We were in transitioning to metric system during the 80s I think. We are still using imperial systems when I left Malaysia in 88
Haha ni memang pun asal nak ukur ke mesti bapak aku ke pakcik ke ukur pakai berapa kaki. Pening pulak aku nak tranlate pegi meter
10:19 i think western people teenager body size is quite similar with an adult, that's why they want your ic
14:37 as logesh said, that's why someone is created a small hang dustbin near the kitchen
15:11 Last time mcd has free-refill and not really needed, because Asian appetite is small compare with Americans, for subway is free-refill drinks
Hey guys, love your channel. Just want to say there are medicine advertisements in Malaysia, like Panadol, sore throat lozenges, and cough syrup. Also, part 2 pls!!!
Interesting video. I sure learnt alot. 👍
you guys make me miss USA.....I just missing America so much..... the weather, the people, some services, loud conversation, donut, etc .... I hope to be back....
As for the pharmaceutical ads. In the US, our pharma research is extremely advanced than any other country in the world. I think only Israel comes close to the US in terms of pharma research. So nothing wrong if the drug companies advertise what new drugs are available in the market. The best thing is the ads highlight the potential side effects from these drugs. You need to get a doctors prescription to get it anyway.
take care and stay safe Kumar Family !
Thanks so much for the tips about America.
I've tried that girl scout cookies before 😂 it's good 🥰 I'm a girl scout here in Malaysia and we have a English Teaching Assistant (ETA) for every school and one of our teacher's from Minnesota and she bought a few of that for us to try. I do like it a lot especially with vanilla ice cream 🤤
I like the content.. i think as an asian we do practice a lot of different way of life or pronunciation of the word and etc.. i would love to see more content like this again.
