Pennsylvania native here. Life without nature is no life at all. I don't mind living near a city, but I need to have some hiking trails within an hour drive.
You need to experience a true southen bbq. Not a cookout. I mean a slow cooked, everybody do their own thing, happening experience. Eat with your fingers, talk and enjoy life kinda thang. Be sure to bring a dish or some beverages because everybody else is bringing something too. Classic hot fun in the summertime.
@@manonbtravels6343 Well I hope that you will visit again or even move to the U.S....cause It's people like you that make America a better place for everyone, but if not I hope that you still enjoy life wherever you are at!
@@manonbtravels6343 Where I live, in eastern Washington State, we don't call a gathering where everyone brings a dish, a buffet. Here we normally call it a potluck, or a cookout if it's outside in the summer. Here, buffets are what we call the restaurants and the presentations that have multiple items that they make and put out on display and you just take an empty plate and go along and pick what you want. So here, to help make it easy to remember, restaurants do buffets, providing all food selections. Family and friends do potlucks and cookouts by each person or family bringing different foods. Nice to see you took some good ideas back with you.
Spontaneity among youger Americans prepares them to improvise on the fly. That's why later in life (moreso than other nationalities) they can always seem to "wing it" in odd situations.
Listening to your stories, it seems like you are from the city. The city versus "country" life culture is very different from each other in many countries. In America the rivalry between them is very pronounced. I'm firmly of the opinion that, the fewer people, the better. It's less....cluttered.
Great video, the part about the bottom floor of the French gym made me laugh out loud. Very nice balance of humor and information as usual. Thanks, and keep up the good work. Have a nice evening.
Both my Grandparents were from Penna. and moved to California after the War. I never saw snow until I was ten years old, and I was not too impressed. A .lifetime of Snoopy comics, I thought snow was like whipped cream, not the icy cold sodden mess it turned out to be.
"Pot Luck" as we call it.....Is a blast. Gotta find a signature dish!!!! My sister does meatballs....Mom does Rootabegas...I do garlic cheesebread & Hot wings...There must be a great dish that is common in France that we never eat here in the US??? Make it your dish:)
thats great that u lived in PA every foreigner as soon as u ask them what they think of the US they think of LA or new york city so much more to it than just those 2 cities ive grown up in PA all my life... but going to thailand for a few months so ill be in same boat as u
I absolutely love your videos! I was in France while in the Marines, Marseilles,Toulon and Nice and of course a day trip to Paris. You are a breath of fresh air and absolutely gorgeous as well❤️🌷
I'm not certain if you were talking about the difference in seating style, but for most parties of the year, yes Americans like to have informal seating. If we do have formal seating (sitting at one table together) it would most likely be during certain feasts like Thanksgiving or Christmas. However, it depends on the American family, their guests they have invited, and the event.
I've been all over the US and Europe, living in both, and they each have their "good" and "bad"and some certain things better than others, but I've found Americans to be the most fun, spontaneous, and energetic, rivaled only by the Irish and British and Australians. (Maybe it's an English speaking thing, I don't know).
The spontaneous things is so true, me my friends always say that those time are the most fun, and I think apart of it is when you plan something you have high expectations for that day and if it doesn’t go as plan it could really ruin it, and if you do a random trip you wasn’t expecting it usually turns out fun just because you wasnt expecting to have a good time! That’s my opinion on it!
Between Thanksgiving, another big holiday here in the US, and Christmas; there is a day known as “Black Friday”. It’s the date after Thanksgiving, which Thanksgiving is always on the 4th Thursday of November, and let’s just say that... things get a little crazy. Basically you go to stores such as Walmart or Target and there is a lot of people there, and they’re rushing to buy stuff. You probably could see how it goes.
Proud American yes yes ! I’ve lived in the US so I went through it a couple times. Never went during rush hours tho haha I’ve seen crazy news of people using pepper spray
It sounds like you met some really good people and made the right friends in the US. I spend a LOT of time outside, but in some areas of the US, the culture is closer to that of Paris with the indoor activities. You'll usually see that in big cities like New York or Los Angeles, though.
Stephen Molzer yeah ! I am so thankful for everyone I’ve met and helped me through my American journey haha Yeah and for sure !! I love both that’s why living in the suburb is great. We are close to the city but also close to nature
Very interesting! I would be interested to know what you are thinking in terms of where you will live permanently. There's advantages and disadvantages to living in any country, so I think the decision depends on a person's goals and personality. My preference would be to spend at least a few months in Europe and other countries each year.
A big part of understanding Americans of any persuasion is that we don't like to be told what to do. Once you understand that, everything falls into place.
I really enjoyed your video! In different parts of the US. We do things differently like where I’m from in Dallas TX. We do a lot more indoor stuff similar to how you do it in your country. When I lived in Oregon though we did a lot more outdoor stuff like you did in Pennsylvania. So it depends a lot on where you live in the country also it depends on what your friends and family are into. 😃🤔
Benjamin Hurlburt yeah for sure !! There are so many variables ! Especially in the USA where you have so many different states with different landscapes haha
I absolutely love your channel! I was born and raised in the state of Michigan (the great lakes state that looks like a mitten). If you get the chance to visit here you should, the nature is very beautiful! I'm planning on visiting Paris soon, but I do not speak French very well, and I am very intimidated because of that. Do you have any advice that could help?
n4cer25 thank you !! ☺️ yeah j have so many states I should visit ! Honestly you don’t have to really speak French but just a few key words like Bonjour, Merci, S’il vous plaît, au revoir... stuff like that ! Just so you can be polite. And then you should be okay !
Enjoy Nature. Yes, that's one thing we have in abundance in America. We have 423 National Parks and 10,234 State Parks. And these are one of the biggest reasons most Americans don't travel outside the country. That and just the fact that the State Department warns American citizens to not expect the same Rights we have here in other countries. What may be a civil right here may be illegal elsewhere.
I love this video. I don't know exactly why, I just do. You should have more subs. I will give you thumbs up on everything. Thank you for being a ray of sunshine in the darkness. Please come back to the USA.
Hello Manon. I just found your channel yesterday. I love your cultural comparisons. I don't know to much about France, and French culture. Where in Pennsylvania did you live? I'm from Pittsburgh.
I just found your channel and am looking forward to watching more content. I really would love to see a video where you can adviseamericans how to get along/what to expect on their first visit to paris. I want to visit there but i feel very ignorant about what to expect and how i should act.
Just found your channel today, surprised I didn't find it before because I watch a lot of exchange students videos "coming to the US". You still have a French accent, not really that normal especially after 5yrs in the States. Most go home as a pure born Americans lol. But I must say I love your accent. I think most of the EU seems to say and think about the same things when it comes to their experience in the States. I have given this some thought and although it has been hurting the country(Politics) lately when it comes right down to it we are just one big family regardless of where in the US we are from. So when you think about the friendliness and small talk kind of stuff it makes sense really. Are you going to come visit us again?
TKE-WarEagle Elite Dangerous Yeah probably just because Europeans are so similar in many ways. It’s a bunch of different countries with different cultures but we do have a lot of similar lifestyle traits. I know !! I wish I had lost my accent ! Every time I talked people could tell right away il a foreigner hahah Yes I do plan on coming back to visit the USA ! I miss it a lot.
Your a real sweetheart so I just wanted to warn you that Americans are going to start going crazy for the next couple years. We should be fine it happens every 50ish years during a major political realignment. Thank you for being nice to us. I'm grateful you got to see Real America. Alot of really good people in Pennsylvania and the rest of the country excluding certain coastal cities.
anthony combs The edges of USA incorporate immigrants. Were your ancestors all native Americans or were they ever immigrants themselves? If you go to Chicago, you can enjoy great food from all these countries. I would much rather eat at a Persian or Indian restaurant than a typical American franchise like Applebee's or Village Inn/IHOP restaurant. Some people come here and bring bad culture like stealing while others come here being honest, hard-working, and generous. The best thing is to not generalize but see the person for who he or she is.
In the U.S.A., we have a variety of parties: A traditional sit-down evening dinner party, a pot-luck (everyone brings a different dish, dessert or beverage), a pool party/BBQ where everyone can roam around, and choose what they would like to do: go swimming, play ping-pong, dance, play board games, just sit and visit with others, while making new friends. A beach party is where you would play beach volleyball, swim in the ocean, and later sit in front of a bonfire where you would roast hotdogs and make S'mores, and sing songs. Then, we have baby showers, bridal showers where it may start out with seated place cards, then everyone moves into another area, and plays games, and opens gifts, followed by a dessert bar. Seasonally, we would have a 'Tailgate' party in the Autumn months, at the football games (which is a very community-oriented gathering in the parking lots before the game begins), a Holloween costume party with lots of food, candy, and games, such as bobbing for apples. Our Christmas parties, where again, the food and beverage are specific, can be quite formal or informal, depending on which type of party the host or hostess is throwing. There's lots of singing carols around the piano or a guitar in front of the roaring fireplace, with EVERYTHING lit up (interior and exterior), and decorated to the max, and possibly a 'White Elefant' gift exchange, just for fun! Then in January, we have a Super Bowl party, where there is a ton of specific snack foods (hot wings, a variety of chips & dips/salsa/guacamole, pizzas, long 25 ft. meat & cheese sandwiches, bite-sized quiche, baked potato skins with crumbled bacon, cheddar cheese, and topped off with sour cream & chives. In addition, you would have a whole variety of Mexican food, a dessert bar, etc. Then comes Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day, Memorial Day BBQ's, The FOURTH of July! (The whole nation celebrates our Independence with music, food, fun & fireworks!), and to close the summer season, we celebrate a long, four-day weekend on Labor Day, again, pool, beach, lake, and backyard parties or parties in the park with family & friends. The type of American party really depends on the occasion, which the host or hostess, can make it anything they'd like to. That's the wonder of America, there are countless options and opportunities! I'm certain that the ultra-wealthy would party on a whole other level, such as on their multi-million dollar yachts, etc. Most Americans love any reason to celebrate life, love, family, friends, community, and our great American patriots who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our many, great freedoms. We are the land of the FREE because of the BRAVE!
Were you a Delta Zeta? If you were, what did you think of greek life in college? It tends to get a bad reputation even here in the United States, but I think it's a good culture to be a part of.
Allen Roisen yes I was ! I think it depends I was in a mid size college and it was really fun ! Girls were super nice. But I’ve heard many horrible thing from bigger size college with hazing and everything. It really depends on the people and the atmosphere we create. But it was a fun experience and I’ve met some of my best friends in my sorority.
Mixing your "new normal" from American into your French normal, could be hard at times. As you seen, Americans over decorate any holiday, large and small. Halloween, Christmas and Valentines Day, Easter...hard to explain to someone, who has not seen it for themselves.....
I was a marine from 2003-2007, and I did 3 tours in Iraq. The worst part for me was getting shot 4 times across the chest and losing my buddy, I’m not going to go into detail because I can’t I don’t ever want to remember that again but afterwards I moved here to japan to clear my mind I can’t go back to a country that Abandoned me after my service also don’t bother thanking me anyways I hope you enjoy your stay and if you have children do not have them join the military seriously.
足立あきら that’s an horrible thing to go through.. I am sorry for your friend. Yeah the USA should have better programs for veterans too many are in the streets or by themselves when they need help. I’m glad you found a place to retreat and heal.
足立あきら The Japanese people are kind and honorable. I want to visit there. I met two young guys around 19 years old and I treated them well. They asked me to visit them. I want to. So far I know Thailand and the Philippines and I found kindness there too. I was injured and in hospitals there. I did not want to return to Denver because my life was very lonely there. Nobody helped me. The culture is brutal if you are struggling and injured. People need to have more kindness. A small few number of people stop to help you if you need it. I live in El Paso now. I think the army base helps the city. I play tennis with some soldiers on the Ft Bliss team. Sometimes we have to give people a second chance because we all are in service to one another. Take care friend!
Lol not really, but if you aren't used to the French accent I can see how you could make the jump. She had a much higher pitch than GSP Gsp sounds like a guy and she sounds like a female
Being in a Gym surrounded by men lifting weights is probably the safest place for a women in America. NO one is going to mess with you and EVERYONE (except the person bothering you) is going to come to your aid.
Guess what - you found out that you enjoy weightlifting which many women are now doing in the USA. Go to a Regional Crossfit competition and you will be stunned like I was at how many women are lifting really heavy weights and not only getting N.Y. stronger but their confidence levels are much higher Which means you have discovered a trend that hasn’t really hit your area yet but eventually will. Which means you can start a business running a gym that caters to women with weight lifting, boxing and maybe mixed martial arts and yoga. Copy the USA fitness centers - visit a bunch of them and take the best ideas for yourself.
yeah I know I don"t practise as much anymore :/ but I think it is also because I film on my iphone and the sound is not very good, I will get a microphone to up the sound quality
@@manonbtravels6343 I really do not mean to be rude....but let's say if you practiced more the need for a .better mic would be unnecessary.Or maybe it's just me??
Hard for Europeans (and others) to understand the passion Americans have for gun ownership. It was thought so important a right of liberty that it's the 2nd Amendment in the Constitution. It's not so much about sport/sustenance hunting, but personal defense against crime and tyranny. Not aware of any other country that allows much of this.

ForTheLoveOfGrey yessss for sure ! Get out of your comfort zone and experience new things

I don't think any of these are specific to the US versus France, except perhaps for the potluck. It's more who you happened to be hanging out with.
Tres Bien!!
Mark Bondar merci ! Haha
@@manonbtravels6343 I hope you do a video from Michigan someday!!
Mixing your "new normal" from American into your French normal, could be hard at times. As you seen, Americans over decorate any holiday, large and small. Halloween, Christmas and Valentines Day, Easter...hard to explain to someone, who has not seen it for themselves.....
dana asher yeah I try to do it tho ! But my French family and friends judge me hahaha I eat peanut butter with banana and they think it’s super weird
..@@manonbtravels6343...... add bacon... you and Elvis would have been friends!
dana asher I actually don’t eat much bacon anymore not my thing haha why did he eat that too ?
@@manonbtravels6343 peanut butter and banana and bacon sandwich was his favorite ...
dana asher ewww that’s a little weird haha I wouldn’t put bacon with that haha
Sounds like a real difference summed up by the pursuit of happiness vs the 5 year plan.
Since I live in Pennsylvania I wonder where you were in Pennsylvania
Erie
ed gein yes !
I love your accent.
guitargodthor2 thank you !! ☺️
you can do almost anything in America :)
what's going on with Mexico and Central America on your map
Matthew Costello 😂😂😂 the color isn’t really where land is ! It’s juste where you can stretch it off ! It’s all the islands haha
Good catch. I never noticed that.
@@manonbtravels6343 for a minute there I thought you knew something the rest of the world d didn't lol
the Mediterranean looks a tad suspect also
Matthew Costello haha yeah you’re supposed to scratch it off but I think the golden color is so pretty so I left it like that hahaha
Thank god, we don't make any occasion a party over here.
Would be unbearable.
;)
Easy, sleazy, DZ.
Alex Rodriguez hateeeeee that !
Have you been to New York City or Miami?
Luis The Humanist NYC yes !! It was a lot of fun, but never miami
Go to Texas it's Nice!
Good vid sweetie.
Robert Reynolds thanks !!
Are you part of a sorority Manon?
Heeeres Johnny yes I am, I’m a DZ ☺️
Did she change her channel’s name??
Can't do too much outdoors in France. Dog shit everywhere.
iLoveManonbtravels
Yeah
Were you delta zeta?
Arandor Thinnorion yes !
I was a marine from 2003-2007, and I did 3 tours in Iraq. The worst part for me was getting shot 4 times across the chest and losing my buddy, I’m not going to go into detail because I can’t I don’t ever want to remember that again but afterwards I moved here to japan to clear my mind I can’t go back to a country that Abandoned me after my service also don’t bother thanking me anyways I hope you enjoy your stay and if you have children do not have them join the military seriously.
足立あきら that’s an horrible thing to go through.. I am sorry for your friend. Yeah the USA should have better programs for veterans too many are in the streets or by themselves when they need help. I’m glad you found a place to retreat and heal.
足立あきら The Japanese people are kind and honorable. I want to visit there. I met two young guys around 19 years old and I treated them well. They asked me to visit them. I want to. So far I know Thailand and the Philippines and I found kindness there too. I was injured and in hospitals there. I did not want to return to Denver because my life was very lonely there. Nobody helped me. The culture is brutal if you are struggling and injured. People need to have more kindness. A small few number of people stop to help you if you need it. I live in El Paso now. I think the army base helps the city. I play tennis with some soldiers on the Ft Bliss team. Sometimes we have to give people a second chance because we all are in service to one another. Take care friend!
HoHo, my sister is a DZ.
Belsnickel well hiiii to her !
Am I the only one who thinks of George’s St Pierre when listening to these videos?
Lol not really, but if you aren't used to the French accent I can see how you could make the jump.
She had a much higher pitch than GSP
Gsp sounds like a guy and she sounds like a female
Working out is popular because people overeat.
What does the logo on you shirt mean?
She must have joined a sorority - it is Delta Zeta, the DZ's are a large sorority present at many college campuses
yes like david said, I was in DZ while in college :)
Looking at the hors d' oeuvres ? 2:20
I kid Manon...I kid
x FiAzc0 mdrrrr thank you !!
lets go look at the frogs, and have a party.
Wow...She's a total babe...
INCARNATE thank you 😂😂
@@manonbtravels6343 You're welcome....
theres something wrong with Florida on your map lol.
Being in a Gym surrounded by men lifting weights is probably the safest place for a women in America.
NO one is going to mess with you and EVERYONE (except the person bothering you) is going to come to your aid.
Guess what - you found out that you enjoy weightlifting which many women are now doing in the USA. Go to a Regional Crossfit competition and you will be stunned like I was at how many women are lifting really heavy weights and not only getting N.Y. stronger but their confidence levels are much higher
Which means you have discovered a trend that hasn’t really hit your area yet but eventually will. Which means you can start a business running a gym that caters to women with weight lifting, boxing and maybe mixed martial arts and yoga. Copy the USA fitness centers - visit a bunch of them and take the best ideas for yourself.
Cute ✨.
I enjoy your video's but some times it's really hard to understand your English
yeah I know I don"t practise as much anymore :/ but I think it is also because I film on my iphone and the sound is not very good, I will get a microphone to up the sound quality
@@manonbtravels6343 I really do not mean to be rude....but let's say if you practiced more the need for a .better mic would be unnecessary.Or maybe it's just me??
You saw American gun culture here so you have to flex your guns in your next video :-)
Hard for Europeans (and others) to understand the passion Americans have for gun ownership. It was thought so important a right of liberty that it's the 2nd Amendment in the Constitution. It's not so much about sport/sustenance hunting, but personal defense against crime and tyranny. Not aware of any other country that allows much of this.
That's why USA is #1 in the World. Sorry not sorry .
