@Jada Matlock Compare to Canada your country is not so good. Racism, Injustice, Crime, shootings higher than any develeppoed country. Not so blessed, sorry no sorry.
Americans need to watch this. I think that too many of us forget how much we have compared to many places in the world. Things that are trivial or commonplace to us are amazing to people from other counties. I appreciate your enthusiasm. ;)
need to watch it...why? Nothing here was of substance to avg. Americans ...weather? Cuz people fake smile? Cuz you CAN make a lot of money? Tell that to the 80 million + Americans working 2+ jobs just to pay rent, or are on Govt. assistance ...or those that without a $100,000 college degree will never go further than flipping burgers, or how the Americans doing HARD TIME IN PRISON for being caught with WEED?? Those literally dying in their homes because they're unable to afford healthcare for an operation. The funny irony here...is almost ALL of her 13 reasons were trivial. Not once did she mention anything about coming to America because of what it stands for, what it means to be an American...everything she mentioned was shallow, or about her being able to make herself rich. I think you need to reevaluate how you think Americans need to watch this because we "have it so good" ....tell that to the 20% that have less than $100 in the bank, while banks are being bailed out with trillions while they steal money.
Certainly nothing of substance to the average American that doesn’t take personal responsibility for themselves or for their outcome. Crying foul or playing the victim (even if it may be true in some regard) will ultimately doom you to one of outcomes you describe. There is a huge difference between living in America and striving to live the American dream. This Russian gal has my respect. - micro-aggression intended.
+Shelia Ellison You've obviously never seen *real* poverty. I have been around the world a few times, and I've seen families who survive by picking through garbage dumps for food and scraps to sell, who drink from ditches that smell of sewage. I've seen places where starvation - not hunger - is an everyday thing. I've seen war torn countries where surviving the day is a victory. Do we have problems here in the U.S. that need fixed? Hell yes, BUT, we also need to be aware that we have the means to fix it, we have the basic necessities, we can educate ourselves. I think *you* need to reevaluate how you view your life, your country and the world. You may not have it as good as you want it, but you do have the means to make it better and you need to have some perspective on how bad your life is compared to people elsewhere. In other words, get over yourself.
I'm talking about having perspective, which was the point of my original post. We can work to make things better - which I have been doing for my 70 years on this planet - while not having a constant pity-party about how awful *we* have it. I probably recognize the problems we face better than you, since I was in the movements back in the 60's, and haven't stopped since, but I always keep in mind that I can't succumb to feeling sorry for myself, and I see WAY too much of that nowadays. People, who, when you point out that other people have it worse, just assume that you're downplaying the issues that concern them. We're not alone on this planet, and right now in history is a damn good time to remember that. One of the things I heard from others in my travels is how arrogant and spoiled Americans seemed because they were always complaining about things that a large percentage of the world wished they had. I hope that you can have two things in your mind at a time - our problems and their problems, they're not mutually exclusive.
It is wonderful to hear someone explain the good things about living here. Often, we tend to take them fro granted because we were born into it. To hear you explain the differences makes me appreciate what we have even more. If every person coming to the US had such appreciation as you do, they would be welcomed with open arms.
It seems so many people from abroad have so any negative things to say about the US and Americans. It's nice to hear your positive perspective on the USA. I'm so happy you enjoy it here! Keep the videos coming!
I'm from Sri Lanka, and I did my undergrad in the US. So I have to say, your no. 6 (Absence of 'how to live' code) is one of the best things about America.
I hope many Americans watch this video and realize how great they have it! As a naturalized US citizen I definitely don't take them for granted. Thanks for making this video!
Well, you haven’t got sick yet with a terminal illness yet. if you’re a millionaire, you’ll be OK, you can afford it. I see you haven’t witnessed a mass shooting yet. I see you are not living in a city where people are drinking lead water. Get a bit of suntan and you’ll have ICE Gestapo asking for your papers. And when you travel to the Middle East, you’ll have a Canadian flag on your backpack and you’ll pretend you be a Canadian. You haven’t been stuck on the highway or on the airport’s for a whole day because of a snow storm. And don’t live along Tornado Alley. The truth is things are not like you see in Hallmark Christmas movies, but we’re resilient and we adapt. I just wish we had a president. It’s been three years without one.
You've definitely picked up that American optimism. Honestly, sometimes I think immigrants and foreign workers, atleast the ones I've met, are more "American" than natural citizens sometimes lol. I love how they get so excited about the culture here. :)
qweby I am an immigrant to the states and I can tell you first-hand that America is the greatest country in the world people say negative things because they are jealous of your country that's the only reason honestly America is the greatest country in the world there is no denying that
Romeo Where from? It's always interesting to hear from different perspectives. qweby It's more to do with perspective. I watched a 16 minute video about someone visiting from Australia flip out over In'N'Out and Wal-Mart. It's easy to complain when you're raised in such an easy-going, simple lifestyle, but when you come in from the outside, it's a whole new world
You’re right. I’m from France but I have some American relatives. I’d like to live there. I love this country so much. Even basic stuff which seemed uninteresting to American citizens made me amazed
+Douglas yeah me too, just putting the same effort that you put in your country of origin, earnings will be better. And of course quality of life is better in USA.
linguamarina l visited with my family (hubby and 4 kids under 12), well l would have to say their summers are amazing climate wise, my children had the best two weeks of their life...they literally beached bummed everyday...surfing and fun!! haha Russia sounds like Ireland. They have a sprinkle of narcissism. Although the smiles here are usually genuine as we don't do tipping, l miss America. Such open minded folk (well the ones l encountered).
I was at NASA (Houston, TX) this past weekend. I met 4 young adults (early 20s) going through the immigration process, from Ukraine, Romania, Columbia, and Brazil. Some of my Uber drivers were immigrants as well - Turkey, El Salvador, and other places I don't remember. Great conversations, great folks. Motivated, hard-working, hopeful, appreciative, happy. I loved it.
We're honored you're here! That was a great video and very interesting to hear your perspective. I'll definitely have to hang on to this. I think my favorite may have been your reason #6

Great video . You sure made me feel good about being American. We certainly have many problems in the US , but i like being fairly free in my movements, i can go anywhere most of the time. I like starting one's own business here, but you have to work hard , be smart as possible and make effort to think beyond the moment. How you treat your clients and customers in the usa always gets around. If you don't do the right thing even if you're selling cupcakes and coffee, you'll lose customers and go out of business.
You made me so thankful to be an American citizen!!! You make excellent points... and yes the kombucha thing is legitimate. I am a kombucha addict who has spent time in Europe and I had a lot of trouble finding it there. Even in small cities in the US you can find it everywhere, you don't have to be in California. There are so many options in the US whether you want to live in a warm climate, mountains, beach, big city, small town, etc. I also liked your one about graduate school.
if you live among native speakers + practice your accent anyone can do it. i know a guy that never lived in the USA and he speaks in perfect californian accent. Kids nowadays can learn any accent because they watch youtube since they were born.
Hey! I also live in the states. Just wanted to say thank you for a great video. It's all very true and with the hectic life we tend to forget how nice it is here. So much positivity and made me feel better and be proud of where I live. Best wishes to you!
Marina !! so great video... you are amazing and very smart woman.. I am also from St-petersburg... i absolutely agree with you about russian lifestyle and that everybody always judge and try to give you the advice how to live right.
i'm not from st-p and for my opinion it's in every or almost every post ussr county, people older than you have a obligation to give you an advice about Right Life
Igor Sagaydak I am from Russia. I will never been in USA (I'm working about it :) ). And I think there is a little difference between - when the people who older then you "try to help you" and when absolutely everybody think that they know how to live and "try to help you". No one like it anyway :)
+Елена Барабири - It's like that everywhere. Our elders and older people always want to give us advice because they have more life experience. The question is: Will we listen (or should we listen), or are we too bothered [by them] to care.
Hi, linguamarina. I am a Chinese programer and watched you videos in Bilibili yesterday, it was really heplful and interesting. Then I started to watch lots of your videos in TH-cam. Your experience really inpires me to improve my English better, as I also have a dream like you to start up a tech company in the silicon valley!
Wow, Marina! Just found your videos. This particular one was amazing, IMO. I am a US Citizen (born and raised). Currently living in the Silicon Valley, also. Your enthusiasm in stating your reasons for moving here are so genuine. It's refreshing. Good luck w/ your business!
Thank you for the video. It is very interesting and informative. I love how you are so positive, ambitious and kind :) People like you make America a better place!
LOVE your videos. Keep educating us. Countries in general have a LOT to share with other people in different countries. If we all could share LOVE INSTEAD of being enemies. SPREAD LOVE EVERYONE!!
this's so amazing. love it :) one the things I liked during my visit was that almost everyone is open to questions, with a good way to discuss and explain.
Thank you for your great videos. I always dreamt of going to USA. But i always thought it was impossible for me. Just when i was giving up i came across your channel. From that day on i tried my best to fulfill my dream. Today i got my I20 and soon I will go to my visa interview.
i love your point of view and especially #6! as a fellow lover of languages, cultures and travel i often fall in love with other countries and forget what makes my home country special... it's refreshing to see the US through your eyes! thank you
You are so fun to watch! I'm an american, and i literally am thrilled about many things about our country all the time. just like you! even though i was born here. People say i act like a tourist but realize i just have JOY in my heart.
Refunds: We've been capitalist forever so the real reason is... serving the customer is a top priority. It costs you MORE to lose customers that will move to your competition with a better refund policy. One of the things you don't like is the cost of American healthcare... and that stems from NOT having a free market (thanks, government!).
Yes, the expensive healthcare and education is big problem is America. But all these things can be solved easily by the govt (if they want). But in most of the other countries we have problems that even the govt can't solve. For example, most countries don't even have good healthcare system. At least you all have excellent healthcare facilities, maybe expensive but its alright.
[The] White Rabbit I don’t agree. I think there is always opportunity for someone motivated to have success. I would work on a back up plan though, just because the entertainment industry can be tough
this is my first time at your channel, you remind me of a lyft driver. I told him I am 23 and I just graduated college with an AS/AA. I am transferring. I am actually" behind" because went to university was forced to leave due to health reasons. Dropped out for a year and went to community college for 2.5 years. This man said something along the line of how he is in his 40 and is too old to be in school. Like their is a cut off for what age we should be done. I told him I have a friend who is in his 60s who I met at my community college. He was at AWWED! I told him there is no age limit to going to school. He seemed very into computer programming or computer system if he was to ever go back to school. Forgot what he said.
Thank u sooo much marina 😍❤ u really help me too much to get learnin' American english as well .. I'm ur big fan from Morocco .. u really deserve millions subscribes and likes 'cause u're the best🌸 u rock !! Just keep the videos commin' 😊❤
I love being an American, although I was born in the Philippines, I love that American assertiveness, and being open to things, Come on, the food, places and etc.
You are so precious! :) I really love your optimism and approach to life. I am glad you decided to live here in the States, I think you fit in quite well. I wish you all the best and success in your life!!!
Not to be rude but you speak AMAZING ENGLISH! Almost no accent! If you didn't say you were from Russia I'd thought you were born & raised here. And your parents & grandparents. This video is great! Love your optimism!
@@shyanneismyall2540 that is it exactly and I have had a couple Brits that moved here admit that is why there is so much trash talk, i knew it before they even said it.
I'm an American lucky enough to be married to an enthusiastically happy immigrant come naturalized citizen like her. When we moved to the Midwest, I was afraid my worldly wife would find the place boring after all the places she's lived. On the contrary, she told me, "open your eyes to the beauty and the opportunity" of living here. I learned love love America more from my foreign wife.
Marcos Burgos Jr You are lucky, try be someone with a chronic illness they will never be able to afford something so basic with a normal job. God forbid they get cancer or something, they will lose everything they ever worked for if they survive. Even in the most terrible economic in south of Europe they got free healthcare
About being to old to obtain your Masters Degree, I remember about fifteen years ago I was in attendance of my girlfriends graduation when she got her Masters degree. There was a lady in her graduating class who was celebrating her 100th Birthday and she was walking the graduating line and she got her Masters Degree from Arizona State University that day. I have always thought how neat that was, plus I was there to witness it. She even said a speech to her graduating class, she said your never to old to learn and accomplish your goals in life. She was a perfect example of the words she lived by. She was so upbeat and a positive person and I will always remember that moment.
Hi....all ur reason are fully valid. I totally agree....i m new to US and just moved from india. I am right feeling exact you said in point no 9. When i reached i felt like i moved to a hollywood movie. Exactly what v see is same here omg ...reality nd the fiction is same. Very nice vedio.
+Pfsif - Taxes may be lower in Cubaflorida but Mexifornia is still the better state in which to live (by far), if you have the money or can eek out an existence. It's also the better state for business, recreation, technology, and talent. Florida is pretty cool though, and you can afford a much nicer house for the same money. But you are right about the humidity.
Reading some of the comments below I have to say...some people are always going to gripe in any circumstance. In business, we call them the "1percenter's" I would answer then if you don't like something here, fight for change or as the girl said above, it's very easy to leave. God Bless America!
I simply loved your video, because it shows our perspective, as immigrants. I'm an immigrant from South America and I share the same point of view of yours. Thank you.
Thank you so much for making this particular video. I was born in CA and have never lived anywhere else. Your video reminds me that there are so many wonderful things in America, that I sometimes forget and take for granted. Usually I subscribe to "how to" and "DIY" TH-cam channels. I think your videos are interesting and super informative. I love random facts too. If I ever go to Russia, I will make sure not to whistle or bring an even number of flowers!
You set foot outside of a cinema and it still feels like you're IN the movie! hahahhaa!!!! How I wish it were true.... especially if the film I was watching was something really futuristic.... like, let's say "Star Trek" for example. But no Michael Bay films...... i don't want stuff exploding around me all day long. hahaha! :P
Thank you for reminding me how blessed I am that I live in America. I am glad you are here. I really enjoy your channel.

if you live among native speakers + practice your accent anyone can do it. i know a guy that never lived in the USA and he speaks in perfect californian accent. Kids nowadays can learn any accent because they watch youtube since they were born.
And even if she did have a Russian accent that would not be a problem with it? Accent has nothing to do with the knowledge of the language.
I'm from Bulgaria 🇧🇬 we moved 3 years ago into Chicago(USA) and no jokes I speak also fluently but I have to be honestly people can hear my accent
@@konstantinsimeonov6958 Glad we have people like you here. I hope you enjoy the US!
Hey! I also live in the states. Just wanted to say thank you for a great video. It's all very true and with the hectic life we tend to forget how nice it is here. So much positivity and made me feel better and be proud of where I live. Best wishes to you!
Can we be friend so far?
Marina !! so great video... you are amazing and very smart woman.. I am also from St-petersburg... i absolutely agree with you about russian lifestyle and that everybody always judge and try to give you the advice how to live right.
Iam from St-P too, i agree that everyone want to "help" you with his advise!))
i'm not from st-p and for my opinion it's in every or almost every post ussr county, people older than you have a obligation to give you an advice about Right Life
Exactly!! Its sort of mindset
Igor Sagaydak I am from Russia. I will never been in USA (I'm working about it :) ). And I think there is a little difference between - when the people who older then you "try to help you" and when absolutely everybody think that they know how to live and "try to help you".
No one like it anyway :)
+Елена Барабири - It's like that everywhere. Our elders and older people always want to give us advice because they have more life experience. The question is: Will we listen (or should we listen), or are we too bothered [by them] to care.
Hi, linguamarina. I am a Chinese programer and watched you videos in Bilibili yesterday, it was really heplful and interesting. Then I started to watch lots of your videos in TH-cam. Your experience really inpires me to improve my English better, as I also have a dream like you to start up a tech company in the silicon valley!
I am so lucky to be an American You will have success. Enjoy your life ❤️
Wow, Marina! Just found your videos. This particular one was amazing, IMO. I am a US Citizen (born and raised). Currently living in the Silicon Valley, also. Your enthusiasm in stating your reasons for moving here are so genuine. It's refreshing. Good luck w/ your business!
A Californian? Hell yes. I WILL NEVER LEAVE! HAHAHAHA
I living Pennsylvania ,Pittsburgh,Here’s People Are So Awesome,,Love Me USA 🇺🇸 Salute 🇺🇸
I’m live in Pittsburgh as well!!
Thank you for the video. It is very interesting and informative. I love how you are so positive, ambitious and kind :) People like you make America a better place!
Hello how are you doing
Hello 👋
Happiest Russian I ever seen. I love you. Welcome to USA. I moved here from Sweden.
Why did you move from Sweden?
I moved to USA to become a businessman, its great to be a business man and not be taxed to death like Sweden.
@@robertlind1511 do you like the USA?
I do enjoy it here its lovely but has its issues
LOVE your videos. Keep educating us. Countries in general have a LOT to share with other people in different countries. If we all could share LOVE INSTEAD of being enemies. SPREAD LOVE EVERYONE!!
This video is awesome! I love your perspective of the US! I would love to hear more!
Hi Melissa how are you doing
Hello dear
this's so amazing. love it :) one the things I liked during my visit was that almost everyone is open to questions, with a good way to discuss and explain.
Thank you for your great videos. I always dreamt of going to USA. But i always thought it was impossible for me. Just when i was giving up i came across your channel. From that day on i tried my best to fulfill my dream. Today i got my I20 and soon I will go to my visa interview.
That’s great! Hope you enjoy America! 😁
i love your point of view and especially #6! as a fellow lover of languages, cultures and travel i often fall in love with other countries and forget what makes my home country special... it's refreshing to see the US through your eyes! thank you
Great video, and I'm not an American. I wish you all the best in your endeavors.
It’s fantastic the way you assimilated the accent and the language.
In the USA style of living, studying and the skills of speaking and way of expressing themselves is great.
GREAT video! I just found your channel today, July 3, 2019! Thank you for your appreciation of our country!!
It’s my dream to live in the USA someday
You are so fun to watch! I'm an american, and i literally am thrilled about many things about our country all the time. just like you! even though i was born here. People say i act like a tourist but realize i just have JOY in my heart.
Great video Marina. Really enjoyed the content & Happy 4th of July to all Americans & Immigrants. God bless America!
11 is also really inspiring, sorry for the repeat comments i'm just loving this video!!
Hi, came over from Sarah's channel! love this video and have subscribed!
Your perspective is wonderful. Congratulations on picking up on some the ways I see my country. It's awesome to have you.
Refunds: We've been capitalist forever so the real reason is... serving the customer is a top priority. It costs you MORE to lose customers that will move to your competition with a better refund policy.
One of the things you don't like is the cost of American healthcare... and that stems from NOT having a free market (thanks, government!).
Yes, the expensive healthcare and education is big problem is America. But all these things can be solved easily by the govt (if they want). But in most of the other countries we have problems that even the govt can't solve.
For example, most countries don't even have good healthcare system.
At least you all have excellent healthcare facilities, maybe expensive but its alright.
@@vishalj27 As an Indian I can agree. Our healthcare is not that great
Love this video! We are so blessed to be here 💙🇺🇸❤️Thanks for doing this !
Here from Sarah's channel 🙌🏻
That was really fascinating. Thank you for your video.
How do you get a green card? I want to move to USA when im 18 to become a singer
Marry an old or fat american 😀
Sara Lampret Why don’t you like America huh?
@@cazador3863 it is just a nasty joke
I hope you come here and your dreams come true
[The] White Rabbit I don’t agree. I think there is always opportunity for someone motivated to have success. I would work on a back up plan though, just because the entertainment industry can be tough
You have a good mindset,keep up the good work! :)
this is my first time at your channel, you remind me of a lyft driver. I told him I am 23 and I just graduated college with an AS/AA. I am transferring. I am actually" behind" because went to university was forced to leave due to health reasons. Dropped out for a year and went to community college for 2.5 years. This man said something along the line of how he is in his 40 and is too old to be in school. Like their is a cut off for what age we should be done. I told him I have a friend who is in his 60s who I met at my community college. He was at AWWED! I told him there is no age limit to going to school. He seemed very into computer programming or computer system if he was to ever go back to school. Forgot what he said.
Thank u sooo much marina 😍❤ u really help me too much to get learnin' American english as well .. I'm ur big fan from Morocco .. u really deserve millions subscribes and likes 'cause u're the best🌸 u rock !!
Just keep the videos commin' 😊❤
I love being an American, although I was born in the Philippines, I love that American assertiveness, and being open to things, Come on, the food, places and etc.
Hello
@@jasondonovan8633 well hello to you too, have a wonderful weekend!
@@mommasond you are welcome
@@mommasond where are you from
Love! Were glad you're here linguamarina!
You inspired me a lot, really! Thank you so much!!!
I'm from Germany and I want to move to America some day. I know I'll have to work hard for it, but it's worth it. ❤️
Have you considered Canada. Because if you haven't you should. Or Sweden
Glad you love the states!
I enjoyed your video, I hope many people realize what America has to offer, where always trying to make America better and your a nice addition.
You are so precious! :) I really love your optimism and approach to life. I am glad you decided to live here in the States, I think you fit in quite well. I wish you all the best and success in your life!!!
It's nice to notice that you become more smiling and happier in this place. Go on and good luck!!!
Not to be rude but you speak AMAZING ENGLISH! Almost no accent! If you didn't say you were from Russia I'd thought you were born & raised here. And your parents & grandparents. This video is great! Love your optimism!
I said this before it doesn't matter if she had a Russian accent as long as she has a good to meaning of the English language she'll be fine.
Every of your video always contents a motivation to lift spirit up. Thank Marina!
you should make a video about the cost of living in USA
She already made it on her Russian channel
+Kamron Khisravdinov sorry bro don't understand russian
Should make a video about how expensive US school fee is.
fairly cheap even in good areas
I don't think so, because everyone here live with an different economy. it's not the same México to your country or just living USA
6th reason is my favorite and my reason also !
Lov u Lingumarina!
what i don't understand people say they hate America and Americans they say we Americans are stupid i see they love to move here explain that
It's called envy !
@@shyanneismyall2540 that is it exactly and I have had a couple Brits that moved here admit that is why there is so much trash talk, i knew it before they even said it.
We are glad to have you here greetings from Berkeley California
Point no.6
Freedom .
I agree completely with you.
That's the best thing I liked in the US.
I'm an American lucky enough to be married to an enthusiastically happy immigrant come naturalized citizen like her. When we moved to the Midwest, I was afraid my worldly wife would find the place boring after all the places she's lived. On the contrary, she told me, "open your eyes to the beauty and the opportunity" of living here. I learned love love America more from my foreign wife.
I love USA... land of the free home of the brave!
Land of the free that don´t have basic healthcare..
Thomas J Voss I have healthcare tho
Marcos Burgos Jr You are lucky, try be someone with a chronic illness they will never be able to afford something so basic with a normal job. God forbid they get cancer or something, they will lose everything they ever worked for if they survive. Even in the most terrible economic in south of Europe they got free healthcare
OceanBlue I’ll cross my fingers you never fall on bad luck 🤞🏿😄
@@marcosburgosjr585 yeah that is something that needs to be fixed.
About being to old to obtain your Masters Degree, I remember about fifteen years ago I was in attendance of my girlfriends graduation when she got her Masters degree. There was a lady in her graduating class who was celebrating her 100th Birthday and she was walking the graduating line and she got her Masters Degree from Arizona State University that day. I have always thought how neat that was, plus I was there to witness it. She even said a speech to her graduating class, she said your never to old to learn and accomplish your goals in life. She was a perfect example of the words she lived by. She was so upbeat and a positive person and I will always remember that moment.
USA rocks! I love there too! Specially San Fran.
I live in Brazil. My biggest dream is to live in the US.
My biggest dream is to visit Brazil and to possibly have dual citizenship.
Come soon!!
Marina! I am so happy you chose America to live. May you always be happy successful. Live long and prosper, peace and long life.
She's getting the accent
Florida in the summer can be hell, high humidity and lots of bugs. Love you take on the USA, best of luck.
Hi....all ur reason are fully valid. I totally agree....i m new to US and just moved from india. I am right feeling exact you said in point no 9. When i reached i felt like i moved to a hollywood movie. Exactly what v see is same here omg ...reality nd the fiction is same. Very nice vedio.
Wow you made me grateful again for how much I am blessed her in America. Thanks and best of luck for your business!
Florida is the "Sunshine" state and the taxes are WAY lower than Mexifornina.
California's climate is more comfortable but certainly not worth the extra taxes. I'd rather sweat a little more.
AMEN to that
Pfsif Florida should be bombed out of existence
+Pfsif - Taxes may be lower in Cubaflorida but Mexifornia is still the better state in which to live (by far), if you have the money or can eek out an existence. It's also the better state for business, recreation, technology, and talent. Florida is pretty cool though, and you can afford a much nicer house for the same money. But you are right about the humidity.
Floricuba is so gross, and I've lived in both states.
In the major cities of China now, you can order fresh shrimps online and they will be delivered in just an hour.
Thank you Russia for this gift of a smart, independant, entrepenuer, beautiful women!
Reading some of the comments below I have to say...some people are always going to gripe in any circumstance. In business, we call them the "1percenter's" I would answer then if you don't like something here, fight for change or as the girl said above, it's very easy to leave. God Bless America!
you remind me of that drama series (Tha Americans) when a Russian couple keep comparing everything in the states to Russian lifestyle
How refreshing to hear good things said about the USA! You are a delight!
JUST LIKE THE SIRIES ON NETFLIX😂😂WELCOME TO YOUR TAPE AMERICA❤️
I simply loved your video, because it shows our perspective, as immigrants. I'm an immigrant from South America and I share the same point of view of yours. Thank you.
USA is the best country in the whole world ........
I just love USA :)
You can say that again
No it's not. It's maybe the best country for you. But it's different for everyone
You've never been to Canada buddy
@@joseboko Canada is safer yeah? But what else Eh? Eh??? Why do more ppl move to America than the opposite?
Thank you so much for making this particular video. I was born in CA and have never lived anywhere else. Your video reminds me that there are so many wonderful things in America, that I sometimes forget and take for granted. Usually I subscribe to "how to" and "DIY" TH-cam channels. I think your videos are interesting and super informative. I love random facts too. If I ever go to Russia, I will make sure not to whistle or bring an even number of flowers!
I want to move from the UK to US so bad
What about Canada? Or Germany??
It’s a pleasure learning English with your videos !
You set foot outside of a cinema and it still feels like you're IN the movie! hahahhaa!!!! How I wish it were true.... especially if the film I was watching was something really futuristic.... like, let's say "Star Trek" for example. But no Michael Bay films...... i don't want stuff exploding around me all day long. hahaha! :P
Welcome to America, and we are delighted that you are here. :)
