I’m American and I’m going to tell you that you are not crazy. It’s definitely expensive for no reason. We have to pay for unnecessary things. Lol The American flags all over the place: it depends on where in America you are and the type of people living there. Most times if you tons of American flags all over the place your probably in a White/Caucasian area, sometimes in rural or suburban areas away from the major city or near the White House in DC. Those people tend to act like they are super patriotic but I can tell you as a Black woman, I’m not putting the American flag up. When it comes to pharmaceuticals and healthcare in America, it’s designed to take your money. I feel like it’s a new medication being advertised every other month lol. You’ll find that a lot of doctors push medications on you constantly than actually helping you get rid of the issue. It’s so many people on tons of medications that don’t get off. They get you on them so you can continue the cycle of paying for medications which makes the pharmaceutical companies money. Other than that America is cool, it just depends on where you are and learning how to maneuver through our customs.
Oh I forgot to add, our diet here is TERRIBLE. That’s why obesity is a huge problem here. Just about everything has sugar in and in some cases the food portions are going to be big especially at restaurants.
Out of all you’ve said, the sugar part is one that I regret not adding. Every sauce used to marinate has added sugar, bread has added sugar, even vegetables like sweet potatoes are extra sweet. It’s difficult to maneuver without coming across added sugar. I pray to God that our daughter doesn’t fall into the bad eating trap because it’s everywhere unless you go organic which I’m not trusting as well. Thank you Mandisa
@@ntandoikemba6769 yes I’m a sweets person myself pretty because growing up with an American diet as far as snacks and deserts. My mom didn’t really have us eating so bad as children because she was adamant about not compromising out immune systems so she didn’t miss work. At home I mostly ate home cooked food with low sodium and hardly no sugar. Now I’m in the grocery looking at the ingredients to stay away from added sugar. 😩
you are someone who can help me.. pleasse,, lol, is it because its always cold in the states but why are people always in sweat shirts and tracksuits please balance me
I’m not entirely sure but I think it’s a cultural thing plus it’s comfort, easy to throw on since they lead a busy lifestyle or it could be the cold lol
Welcome to America. Moved here when I was 9 from East Africa and its very different. First and most importantly is you are now "Black". You are no longer just a person, but you are constantly reminded about your Ethnicity. In Africa you may have been Zulu, Xhosa or whatever tribal affiliation you belong to. In America, they do not know or care about that. You are Black. Secondly, you notice people pay way too much attention to the way you speak, rather than what you are speaking about. In some extreme cases, Americans will ask you to repeat yourself because they did not understand you, even though you are speaking English. Anyways, all the best. Stay focused. Don't get caught up in the stereotype. Remember African immigrants do very well in America and become highly successful, because of our mindset..
The American system steers black immigrants to be successful as a means to spite the local black population it has nothing to do with our mindsets hence why we’ve managed to destroy a whole continent and decide to runaway
@@lifeandtimesofsazi3192 You can have whatever opinion about this matter, but there are clearly certain behavioral issues that will continue to afflict our brothers in the African American Community if you could allow me to mention a few of them here: 1. Health - You have lost the concept of healthy eating. Our ancestors had a rich diet of electric foods, which you seem to give a fancy name of organic. The food sold in the black community is poison. It leads to obesity, diabetes and heart disease. How do you save any money when your loved ones are constantly in the hospital surfing from dietary health issues. 2. Over consumerism - If African American s were a country it would be in the G7 because this community has a GDP of over $1-2 trillion. In Georgia where I live the black economy is 25% -30% of Georgia’s GDP. Every major company in America knows this, however black people don’t see the power they hold in their hands and are constantly spending their dollars with people who don’t care about their well being. Going to the mall and buying up more than is needed. If you can reduce the over consumerism and invest that money within the black community there is no reason why Black America cannot be an economic power house in a decade or two. 3. Weaponization if the law: Too often do I see my African American friends in huge trouble because the law has been weaponized against you. If you have an argument with your spouse, calling 911 is as good as destroying your life,because the system will not solve your dispute it will criminalize you instead, destroying families and communities. This idea that I can raise my kids by my self is European Ignorance. You need the man in the home and you also need the community involved in the well being of our children. These are the mindsets I am talking about. Not some social program directed at immigrants. That is a myth. Every immigrant who comes to America signs a contract with the Government saying they will not be a public charge. For your Visa to be approved you need to have someone, a friend or relative fill out an affidavit of support saying that if you get into financial trouble they will Help you, not the government. So this is why you do not see immigrants at the welfare office. Again these are the mindsets I am talking about. Many times you see African Immigrants doing the worst jobs in America, because we face double discrimination, but collectively as a community you find that Mum who cleans toilets has $5000 or $6000 in her savings account, that factory worker has $10000 in savings. He is sending money to Africa to invest and help his family etc. Africans send $50 billion to $100 billion home to Africa from Abroad each year. That is from all the sacrifices we make here in America, Canada, Europe, Asia or Australia. That is the mindset I am talking about.
@@Dan13Speed I get that then why not imply these systems and morales here back home, you talking about how FBAs have poor diets yet we have low life expectancy’s here in Africa yet Africa has the most fertile untouched land globally And don’t say it’s the government being corrupt because all that governments reflects is the current society that we have at our disposal. If the government is fucked up it always boils down to the society in which we inhabit being fucked up as well. Americans have gone through so much bro, from slavery, Jim Crow laws mass incarceration, bro it’s a lot all these are recent, for instance a 50+ year old American black person alive today probably had a great great parent who lived through slavery. These people haven’t healed yet the last thing they need is us talking down on their lifestyles
Let's talk about the meds. We in the Carribbean and Africa are culturally shocked. Its too much, planting on the land is what we do. We are not depressed people, we are earth people. Haha, culture shock 101....
The American lifestyle is sedentary. Other countries get regular activity and excercise which can help prevent depression. People also lack regular interactions with family and friends. Caught in the rat race (work, family, work, sleep, repeat). Oh and everything varies from state to state. New Jersey does not allow you to pump your own gas. Americans experience culture shock too when visiting other states. As an American I have never seen a muffin that big from any bakery. Wow!
Was always wishing to experience America but now hell naw it's better to just visit there for music business only! South Africa is a beautiful and lovely country I'm not going anyway.
I started watching because you're incredibly good looking, ended up watching the whole video because your vibe is even better. ❤ When you said "robots" when referring to the traffic lights - I was so tickled because there's just nothing more South African 😂
Another point is the fact that in SA we use the metric system & the US uses the imperial system (kilometers vs miles degrees celsius vs fahrenheit & liters vs gallons & centimeters vs inches).
The date thing is really a problem especially for us working for American companies in RSA. It’s really confusing and sometimes we end up confusing customers 😹😹
About the date - some places would say "the 12th of July" listing the day first and the month second. In America we would say "July 12th" listing the month first. It's basically the verbal order written down. Hope this helps!
Lol! The pieces are definitely big, especially in Texas. What I find interesting though is that many African immigrants in SA think our chicken portions much bigger than what they are used to in their respective countries. SA is like the America of Africa.

DST is a weird one, the advancement of the clock is a crazy way of taking advantage of the daylight and all. There's quite a few countries that practice DST. Why are they just not choosing one standard time instead of complicating things. One country observing different time zones. Good vid
Thank you Q. I think it works in everyone’s favor so that everyone can take advantage of daylight as you mentioned earlier. Also I think it’s the same thing within the country because it’s huge. Different states are literally like different countries just combined. I’m just still amazed by the concept of ‘shifting time’ backwards and forwards.
Welcome to the DMV... Yho!! This winter DST is hitting different the older I get! Also, one thing about Arizona, is they do not follow DST rules so come tomorrow, they will be 3 hours behind us. That is another shocker on its own! I look forward to your settling down journey and enjoying your content.
Cape Town suburbs also don’t have Fences/Walls, similar to American Suburbs. In fact most towns in the Western Cape have that fenceless look in the suburbs . Gauteng is the problem when it comes to Giant walls and electrical fences. I was also shocked when I moved to Gauteng from the Western Cape… It looked scary with all the high walls and electric fences. I am used to it now…been here too long. 😅
... As a child, I used to Dream about going to the US, and possibly even living there permanently one day. Fast forward to 2022, I don't even see myself visiting even for one day. All the Best in the States... Nevertheless, this video was enlightening.
@@hopebuhali3887 America is cool. Very safe in most areas. Police can be crazy sometimes but it's not as bad as the media portrays it. I never worry about being held at a gun point or car hijacked here. Racism is very subtle, so you may not see it unless you're looking for it. It's easier to live here if you're from South Africa, at least that's what I think.
@@ntandoikemba6769 wow I thought as much, because Ikemba is from the igbos. I am zambian(father) and my mother is Zimbabwean. Eversince I read "things fall apart" for my "A" level English literature along with Shakespeare, I became very interested in the igbos.do you know they even have the name Ngozi a name you find in Zambia, Zimbabwe.
@@kasikwagoma6740 Yes of course. Ngozi seems to be a very common name. I’m sure it has different meanings in all the countries that you’ve just mentioned. I l, however, did not read “Thing fall apart”
I actually think the RSA licence is recognized in USA but you need an international driving permit from RSA and whenever you're stopped you need to produce your licence and permit
Interesting you say you're so grateful to be here and not change it for anything 🤔.. well, many people here would love to have changed positions with you and live in SA
@@carree7942 Strange enough I’d never describe myself as someone who has good skin. So I’d say it’s a routine that has improved it. I still get breakouts here and there and I’ve tried to stay clear of dairy products since my baby had gastric discomfort since I breastfeed. I’d say it’s trying to mind what I eat mostly. Thank you

Love u girl #sa girl and u are so beautiful, i was just only looking at u when u talking so beautiful and i am here to stay. Sorry to ask how old are u?🥰💜
Nice to meet you! Of course things are much different in the USA than S Africa! Hopefully a major improvement in some noticable ways! I'm a man of small towns and live in central Michigan! The cost of living here is more relaxed than in large cities, but America has built an infrastructure that allows goods and services to expand easily to rural areas! And stress levels are much lower than in urban areas! Don't be afraid to explore the expanse and variety of America and its muriad of people and geograghy. I think that the experience will be helpful in your understanding!
The United States flag represents a Corporation, its not a Government. It's a business. that's why people from all over the world comes to the United States for opportunities, and wealth , it's a Capitalistic Society
I do wish most of you content creators can visit atleast 3 more provinces in SA to see very different sides of this country. Joburg alone does not do justice in comparing SA to other countries. Please do visit your perception will change greatly.
As you know Thando South Africans love their country and also we dont easily adopt to other Cultures , same as me in UK I was in UK, I learned that SA is the best..keep it we are not lost homes come back home
This is how the O'mas put babies to sleep (that like to stay awake). First from the time they wake up in the morning, NO NAPS. Even if they get cranky no naps for about a week or two to reset the sleep pattern. When they are awake you must remove the excess energy with play. Play with them physically all day. Teach them how to play by themselves during this time too. This will make you tired but remember it is temporary. Keep a regular schedule. If your schedule is all over the place, this may not work well for baby's inner clock. Next, about an hour after their last meal for the night, give them a bath in "Sleepy time" baby wash. Then rub them down really well with baby oil. Warm up some socks and put them on their feet. This will help to release any hidden gases that you didn't get with burping. OH and pay attention, take a few days to just watch your baby. You may find that they are light or sound sensitive. If they are either, you'll have to adjust a few things in your home. I won't say the last thing they used to do because I don't want to go to jail. Also it's not necessary.
thanks for the time explaining the time, becoz i didn't understand why the New York market would open at 15:30 some months and 16:30 other month, most people didn't understand also
That daylight saving time thing, apparently it used to be a war effort thing to preserve more work hours during wwii. I thought they'd passed a law that repealed it

P.S you’ve just gained yourself a new subbie 😍😍😍
Thank you Thami
I remember being there to visit my cousin,I ordered buffalo's wings,when they waitress brought them I was like.....yey I didn't order kalakune 🤣😂
😹😹😹they were that big?
Not kalakune 😂😂😂😂
🤣
🦚🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂 this had me on the floor...kanakune😂😂
Just stumbled across your channel. When you mentioned you can turn on red at the traffic light I knew automatically you were in MD. Then you mentioned Gaithersburg. Welcome to Montgomery County it's a bit boring but safe.🤗
Lol to boring… Thank you Enrica
Most welcome
You can turn right on a red light in california too, unless there's a "no turn on red" sign
I came across this channel today. Beautiful content ❤️
Thank you Nombulelo
Also came across the channel today💕
I can't wait for this channel to grow.. Your aura is awesome.. I'm so glad YT recommended your channel... First time here... You just gained a new subbie😍🎉
Love from Cape Town but originally from the South coast in Durban 😊
Aah 😊Thank you Bongeka. Welcome
Ntando this was such a beautiful well articulated video and fun at the same time! It was like rewinding a tape lol of when I arrived here in the US. I wish you all the very best my dear!🧡💖..your Zimbabwean sis..new subbie
Thank you Milly. You’re so sweet
@@ntandoikemba6769 You are so welcome Ntando! Aww thank you! Your sweet spirit comes through the screen too! Remain blessed!🙏🏾
How is the date culture shock? It is what it is! Have you never been to America?
Date? I’m not sure I understand
Love your channel I accidentally bumped into your video and I am here to stay and learn with you on your journey 🤌🏼🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰😍
Thank you Gomolemo. Welcome
Costco has everything big, including muffins. That is not a fair comparison 😂
A big Shout out from SA. Keep pushing Moghal! we see you.
DST is a weird one, the advancement of the clock is a crazy way of taking advantage of the daylight and all. There's quite a few countries that practice DST. Why are they just not choosing one standard time instead of complicating things. One country observing different time zones. Good vid
Thank you Q. I think it works in everyone’s favor so that everyone can take advantage of daylight as you mentioned earlier. Also I think it’s the same thing within the country because it’s huge. Different states are literally like different countries just combined. I’m just still amazed by the concept of ‘shifting time’ backwards and forwards.
Welcome to the DMV...
Yho!! This winter DST is hitting different the older I get! Also, one thing about Arizona, is they do not follow DST rules so come tomorrow, they will be 3 hours behind us. That is another shocker on its own! I look forward to your settling down journey and enjoying your content.
@@bezisakala4623 thank you Bezi
I could identify with the airport story! I tried to yank that thing off until someone who works at the airport yelled “5 dollars!” 😅😂🤣
Phahahahahahahahaaa
Welcome to America if you seen The Movie 😂😂😂
Is the muffin bigger than the ones from mug n bean?
It’s wider but not longer lol
Love the content, keep the ball rolling 🥰🥰🥰
Thank you babes ❤️❤️💃🏼💃🏼❤️❤️
If there are alot of flags be careful in the area. It's usually an area that is not welcoming for certain people.
That's not true at all
That's bs.
As for making you mutate😂😂😂😂😭 drama
I could never leave SA for America. No way hells no never!
Everyone for their own I think
Cape Town suburbs also don’t have Fences/Walls, similar to American Suburbs. In fact most towns in the Western Cape have that fenceless look in the suburbs . Gauteng is the problem when it comes to Giant walls and electrical fences. I was also shocked when I moved to Gauteng from the Western Cape… It looked scary with all the high walls and electric fences. I am used to it now…been here too long. 😅
I’m happy to hear that there are places in SA that are fenceless
That's so interesting. I've been in Gauteng all my life, I also had no idea that there are places that have no fences in Mzansi. 😅
Which Cape Town🤣🤣🤣
@@m2ranojaholo79 which Cape Town for real? Lmaooo
lovely. all the best.
Hi Ntando. Love your videos. What is the name of te tune (Song) in the background
Thank you Ntsako.
It’s called Looking for answers on the Videoleap editing app
About fences that’s not true. It depends, in my neighborhood we all have them in our backyards! It is for protection, there are coyotes here!
... As a child, I used to Dream about going to the US, and possibly even living there permanently one day. Fast forward to 2022, I don't even see myself visiting even for one day. All the Best in the States... Nevertheless, this video was enlightening.
Yeah that's me . I can visit anywhere but the USA
If you don't mind me asking,, why do you not want to visit America?
Lol same. I find America scary now, don't think ill visit.
@@hopebuhali3887 America is cool. Very safe in most areas. Police can be crazy sometimes but it's not as bad as the media portrays it. I never worry about being held at a gun point or car hijacked here. Racism is very subtle, so you may not see it unless you're looking for it. It's easier to live here if you're from South Africa, at least that's what I think.
The horror stories you hear about America, racism from police. I wouldn't be comfortable even as a tourist. I'm scared of America
Their advertisements are so LAME!!
So you mean it 1am x2... hoooh mna soze... imagine the looong lalavuka
Are u married to a Nigerian cause ur daughters name sounds Igbo
Yes I am.
Just came across your channel, your surname is also found among the igbo tribe.you are so beautiful.
Thank you Kasikwa. My husband is Igbo so that makes me Igbo.
@@ntandoikemba6769 wow I thought as much, because Ikemba is from the igbos. I am zambian(father) and my mother is Zimbabwean. Eversince I read "things fall apart" for my "A" level English literature along with Shakespeare, I became very interested in the igbos.do you know they even have the name Ngozi a name you find in Zambia, Zimbabwe.
@@kasikwagoma6740 Yes of course. Ngozi seems to be a very common name. I’m sure it has different meanings in all the countries that you’ve just mentioned. I l, however, did not read “Thing fall apart”
@@ntandoikemba6769 a very good igbo friend of mine told me Ngozi means blessings.
@@kasikwagoma6740 Things Fall Apart is a lovely book. Love it so much when people reference it.
You beautiful
Thank you
New here and love your content. 👌🏽❤️✨Would love to start a new life in another country, but I wouldn’t know were to start !
Welcome Kholofelo. Make sure you love the country and do tons of research before you make the decision. All the best
When you say they don't recognize our driving licenses that side, does that mean we also do not recognize their drivers licences this side? Or ...🤔
No.. as far as I’m concerned you can use your American license to drive in SA.
I actually think the RSA licence is recognized in USA but you need an international driving permit from RSA and whenever you're stopped you need to produce your licence and permit
@@a2zanimesage943 thank you. I had no idea. Somebody else said that it’s valid in some states in the US.
Your channel will grow big Sesi.
True
Gas station no, its GARAGE 😂😂😂.
Naw, its strange. America has a mental health problem
Enza sisi,please show us the realistic US content, even the skwata camps please
😂nifuna ukubona
😂😂😂😂... Are they like the ones in South Africa?
Yes from what I've seen they live in caravans or something
Mugg and Bean got muffins that big
Subscribed I like your content keep it going..
Interesting you say you're so grateful to be here and not change it for anything 🤔..
well, many people here would love to have changed positions with you and live in SA
Turn Right only on Red not turning on Red!
Hello hi I'm New to this channel whr do i put my luggage coz I'm here to stay....
This is so interesting. New Subbie here, looking forward to more of your content. You're absolutely stunning.
Thank you Itumeleng. Welcome
1st of all your skin 😍😍😍
Thank you
@@ntandoikemba6769 do you have a skin routine or is it just naturally like that?
@@carree7942 Strange enough I’d never describe myself as someone who has good skin. So I’d say it’s a routine that has improved it. I still get breakouts here and there and I’ve tried to stay clear of dairy products since my baby had gastric discomfort since I breastfeed. I’d say it’s trying to mind what I eat mostly. Thank you
13:33 Bathi go big or go home 😂😆🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣 'OMG someone stole my luggage'🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Ntando sejwayele amasela antshontshayo 🤷
Hhay kancane 😭
Americans are big people by nature dear....that's where you even get stores like Big n Tall, etc
You are a very pretty lady and I can tell you also have a good heart. It was interesting listening to your culture shock in America. I wish you and your family all the best in America. Keep shinning and stay blessed.💜🇿🇦🇺🇸
Thank you DJ
@@ntandoikemba6769 You are welcome!
I'm new here 😍❤️ enjoying this already
Dankie Lindo. Welcome
It's kinda funny how she described everyday American things like someone visiting from outer space
SA is definitely outer space. You should visit if you’re based in the US
@@ntandoikemba6769 Thinking of hitting up Durban once the pandemic is over
Love u girl #sa girl and u are so beautiful, i was just only looking at u when u talking so beautiful and i am here to stay. Sorry to ask how old are u?🥰💜
Thank you Siphiwe
I once saw the time shifting thing in powerpuff girls (given that it's an American show) when I was a kid.
Saw it on Regular show lol
Definitely enjoyed this video. I pray for consistency 🙏
Thank you Bongani
HI YOU ARE THE MOST FANY
That muffin looks bigger than our skons...here in SA
9 times bigger
How does the clock reset itself? 🤔I'm so confused.
It’s some weird stuff. It’s called daytime saving time. Please watch a video on it. Umhlaba unezimanga
Satellite
Where are you?😢
Skincare routine please
Yes please her skin is beautiful❤
Nice to meet you! Of course things are much different in the USA than S Africa! Hopefully a major improvement in some noticable ways! I'm a man of small towns and live in central Michigan! The cost of living here is more relaxed than in large cities, but America has built an infrastructure that allows goods and services to expand easily to rural areas! And stress levels are much lower than in urban areas! Don't be afraid to explore the expanse and variety of America and its muriad of people and geograghy. I think that the experience will be helpful in your understanding!
Your surname sounds Nigerian/Congolese
Nigerian
@@ntandoikemba6769 beautiful
The United States flag represents a Corporation, its not a Government. It's a business. that's why people from all over the world comes to the United States for opportunities, and wealth , it's a Capitalistic Society
Ikembe is your surname please educate me
My husband is Nigerian
I do wish most of you content creators can visit atleast 3 more provinces in SA to see very different sides of this country. Joburg alone does not do justice in comparing SA to other countries. Please do visit your perception will change greatly.
As you know Thando South Africans love their country and also we dont easily adopt to other Cultures , same as me in UK I was in UK, I learned that SA is the best..keep it we are not lost homes come back home
Love the content but mtase you're already starting to roll your "R" when you speak 🤦🏾♀️
This is how the O'mas put babies to sleep (that like to stay awake). First from the time they wake up in the morning, NO NAPS. Even if they get cranky no naps for about a week or two to reset the sleep pattern. When they are awake you must remove the excess energy with play. Play with them physically all day. Teach them how to play by themselves during this time too. This will make you tired but remember it is temporary. Keep a regular schedule. If your schedule is all over the place, this may not work well for baby's inner clock. Next, about an hour after their last meal for the night, give them a bath in "Sleepy time" baby wash. Then rub them down really well with baby oil. Warm up some socks and put them on their feet. This will help to release any hidden gases that you didn't get with burping. OH and pay attention, take a few days to just watch your baby. You may find that they are light or sound sensitive. If they are either, you'll have to adjust a few things in your home. I won't say the last thing they used to do because I don't want to go to jail. Also it's not necessary.
I spent 5months in California and everything you just mentioned is relatble.
Love the music in the background! Nice melody @
Tjo that muffin is huge, it literally fills your whole hand🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
We have that in Zim we grew up on them in the 70s I candy cake coz it had frosting & was pink!
thanks for the time explaining the time, becoz i didn't understand why the New York market would open at 15:30 some months and 16:30 other month, most people didn't understand also
Speaking of big.. tell me about that bottle of milk😂😂😂😂
That daylight saving time thing, apparently it used to be a war effort thing to preserve more work hours during wwii. I thought they'd passed a law that repealed it
Why are you bearing Igbo surname, Ikemba? Is your father a Nigerian?
My husband is Igbo
@@ntandoikemba6769 Ha! I get it now.
You are the best. Keep it coming we are watching your videos.
Thank you, ma'am, sister and our lovely wife.
