First Time at the Movies EVER (Cubans shocked reaction in America)

- Yoel for the first time at the movies EVER. Yoel, a Cuban, has never been to the movies in America. For him, its like actually "being in the movies". Watch his first time reaction to going insider of an American movie theater- with tickets, beverages, popcorn, food, seats that recline and large screens. A completely DIFFERENT experience than back home.
This is our first time going to a movie together. In cuba, movie theaters are destroyed and if they are working, they do not play new releases - rather super old foreign movies usually.

Yoel said he felt just like the character of Free Guy - someone who thought they were living life until someone showed him the "other world". Can you imagine that? Comment your favorite movie below. We will be doing a reaction video of us watching your favorite movie! (75% chance we both have never seen them).
The Lord of the Rings trilogy!
Top Gun (1986)
Jaws (1975) directed by Steven Spielberg
Favorite movie? I don't know, probably Gladiator with Russel Crowe.
But my favorite movie experience was Avatar in 3D. (The movie isn't the greatest, but I really felt like I was there)
Shawshank Redemption or the original Star Wars!
To see america through his eyes makes me so humble and to understand what we take for granted.
I cry every time for what communism has robbed this man, his family and countrymen of. aAmerica, please understand how lucky we are!!!
@@bunkyman8097 we are very privileged cause we don't have to deal with what he and every communist country goes through.
Jesse weaver,
All of my grandparents came to the USA from Romania. My whole life I have wondered what my life would be like if that didn't happen. They are all gone now but my thanks continue.
To see Yoel's childlike wonder in everyday things makes me emotional. I hope he has many children to share this gift we call freedom with. Peace to yoh
Of course we take everything for granted and we have people complaining about not having certain things. That's because people are too lazy to work and they expect America to give everything for free..
@@theonlyonestanding8079 oh I agree 1000% with you on that one
Take Yoel to a planetarium. He'll be amazed beyond words.
I am now an older woman, but when I was a little girl, my grandparents had a vacation home just outside of Havana. I am humbled by how you perceive my country , your new home, and I wish I could share what your country was. The thrill of taking the train from Chicago to Miami, then either a ship or a plane to Cuba, where there would be a type of limo to take us to our house. I spent a month every winter playing with the neighbor children (not only Cubans, but many Europeans), going out to dinner, learning how to eat amazing Cuban and all Latino foods, how to dance!!! Attending movie and theatre premiers. It was more cosmopolitan than the Chicago that I knew. I remember sitting at the dinner table listening to the adults lamenting the progress that the Castro regime had made. The January of 1959 when we locked the door to our house we knew it would be our last time seeing that home and country. We took anything of value from the home, but, left our clothes and shoes with the people we knew would need them soon. I know my grandfather sent supplies to some of the people we knew and loved until it became absolutely impossible, and my grandfather's passing. Everytime I see the history that you include, I laugh, " I remember that.." and then I cry! Even though it has been 60 years, somehow I have to believe the Cuban people that I remember, will take back their country, and we will see Cuba again! Blessings to both of you.
It is very beautiful your comment and your story. I asked myself, why are not the Cubans taking back their country? Are not enough Cubans in America that can do something, are any of them with some influence? I just wonder how much longer it will be…
@@AnabelleLoaiza It is so counterintuitive but makes so much sense that the easiest fight is when you have everything. Fighting against the government in a rich, free nation is so much easier because you have the resources and ability to want more and know more is out there. We see socialism and communism time and time again take nations that have it all and make them into nations that have nothing through promises of even more for everyone. Even if the social movement is there, Cubans would have to overcome their lack of resources to fight against the government. I truly wish that these socialist and communist ideas were ideas that would work, simply for the people living under those ideas, but human nature is always the death of these community-based ideologies.
You can see Yoel's joy in experiencing new things but you can also see his sadness for those he has left behind who can't experience these things.
We both carry that guilt and saddness everyday.
Thank you for reminding everyone that Cuba wasn’t always cut off from the world. It has a electric and colorful past 🥰
Cuba's fame all over the world is defined by its past. Its glory, its lure, and its appeal all lives in the past. One day, and one day soon, we will change that.
@@YoelAndMari yes! It is such a beautiful country. And beautiful beautiful people also😍
Until the socialists took over and destroyed the economy, civil rights and freedom.
@@YoelAndMari Hopefully, it will become a charming place that both keeps the nostalgic and classy charms, while innovating and improving to modern developed nation standards.
@@GotoHere NOT "the socialists", but the COMMUNIST!!!! ....... France, Italy, Switzerland, Spain, Germany , etc. are DEMOCRATIC SOCIALIST nations!!! ...... Make sure and LEARN before writing a FALSE statement!!!!!!
Mari you are so kind to do the work of making subtitles for those of us who can only speak English. Your videos have brought me so much joy and a renewed appreciation for living in America and having so much available to me. I'm a 69-year-old grandmother living in a wheelchair for 13 years now after a serious accident that took everything from me... my home, my business, my income, my car, everything. My husband had died 3 months before my accident. Don't pity me, I am so happy to be alive. I still have more than 90% of the people on this planet and for that I'm thankful. I just wanted you to know that I was in a bit of a rut and seeing you two, especially Yoel with his new experiences, has awakened a new energy and spirit of joy in me. So...THANK YOU both from the bottom of my heart!
I agree !!
Yet you keep voting in Liberal lunatics shame on you, lady you’re destroying the country and you probably love illegal aliens as well
I'm 20, so I can't say that I've had much taken from me in my short time, but these videos still make me remember not to take things for granted. So many in my generation take the United States for granted and, while there are issues, it is so important to remember that every nation has its issues. I wish people who complain about not being able to buy that 2000 sq. ft. house as a single person on a cashier's pay would be open to seeing the struggle that even educated people go through to simply afford to eat more than the rationed food they're given in some countries. These videos really humble me and make me want to cherish the moments when someone asks to try one of my fries at the new In-n-out that has a line out the door, because at least we live in a nation where that restaurant and that hour-long line can exist.
Yoel is always like a kid in a candy store! I could say it a million times that I wish Americans loved America as much as y'all do! God Bless you and the USA
A bunch of us do.
To be fair, most if us love it here, we just don't always love each other.
A lot of us do.
DAMN!!! I’m an American and MY mind is blown by that theater!! 😳🤯
It is super sweet seeing his reaction, it’s like through the eyes of a child, in a way. 🥰 So many little things we truly take for granted.
Right? That movie theater is one of the nicest movie theaters I've ever seen!!
OMG..... It just came to my mind...... Wait until Christmas! You have to take him to see all the houses with their decorations and lights. It goes without saying..... Yoel needs to go see Santa Claus. Make sure he doesn't forget his List!
Oh we are going FULL OUT XMAS!
@@YoelAndMari I think you will need a special series just for Christmas. Just so much that occurs and is celebrated in the season. Can't wait. 😎🇺🇸.
Halloween too
@@YoelAndMari I know it's sometimes difficult accepting donations but after seeing the video of the gift card for Home Depot, I'm wondering how one would go about doing the same or making a similar donation. I certainly can't speak for others but I know it gives me great pleasure to give back to my fellow humans when I can.
I love watching you guys. Yoel's reactions are priceless. I visited Cuba in 2017 and unless you go there you could never truly understand how Yoel feels. I traveled everywhere and made many friends. The Cuban people are suffering so much and yet they have much resolve. I pray for a free Cuba.
As Americans, we are so ungrateful. I was forunate to be stationed in the Philippines when I was young. I'll never forget the day I returned to America. It took me awhile to understand how lucky we are here. Even those born into poor circumstances have many avenues available to them in order to better themselves. This is the true American dream. Not to be rich, but to be able to better one's circumstances and have enough food to eat and a roof over one's head.
Don't lump everyone Into the category of being ungreatful... a lot of us are. Just because we don't have the same reactions because we are used to seeing stuff like this doesn't mean we're ungrateful. Are we supposed to drop to our knees in tears everytime we see something like this?
Not ungrateful but unware of how good they have it...even if they are "poor"
@@amgooder True. You put it much better than I did.
I could watch videos of Yoel’s eye opening experiences all day. No words can truly describe the joy it brings to see this grown man have his “eyes open” for the first time. His eyes represent the the eyes of all Cubans if they could see what he’s seen and experienced. I don’t know this couple, but it brings me great joy to see this “rebirth” for them! We have A LOT still to fix and get right in this country.. no doubt at all. But thank God the USA still represents that beacon that many around the world dream of.. and long for. I hope to live long enough to see all of Cuba and other oppressed nations begin to live freely and blossom like Yoel is. Thank you Mari…
NEXT: CUBAN SEE HOSPITAL BILL/AMBULANCE BILL FOR THE FIRST TIME (Cubans shocked reaction in America)
Beautiful words!
Goes to show you what we as Americans take for granted. Atta girl Mari!
I would love to see Yoel's reaction to visiting a large public library for the first time. In my opinion, the library represents the peak of societal freedoms, as it is one of the few places one can go to, where there is no expectation for you to spend money. Also, modern libraries offer more than just books or movies. These days many libraries offer things like 3D printing, genealogy records, local history, access to academic research, seminars on how to run a small business and access to appropriate legal documents to start one, and more! And you can also borrow some BONKERS things (depending on the library) like toys, board games, musical instruments, video games and video game consoles, kitchen appliances, and even internet access via mobile hotspots! Libraries still have a major role to play in society, and they continue to grow into a form the patrons most need.
Thanks for the great content!
We are planning to go to one either in NYc or dc.
That's awesome.
Both the New York Public Library and the Library of Congress are ASTOUNDING monuments to the written word.
A visit to either one is a treat for anyone.
✌😎
BTW - If you to the NYC one, you gotta pet the lions. 😁🦁🦁
✌😎
Oh yeah, that would be awesome if you guys went to the New York Public Library!
@@YoelAndMari If you go to either city please visit the many free museums and zoos. It allows us all to see and appreciate art and cultures around the world. I have a feeling you both would love it. I grew up in both cities and have great memories going. Also maybe you can tour the white house. Contact your local Senator or congressman on the web and ask for tickets. Bless you both.
We take everything for granted in America. I love the way Yoel can humble some of us. I am about to subscribe, I will definitely follow this channel. Stay safe you two.
Well, we will be in a socialistic state soon. See what happened to Cuba! Lots of Americans think it will be wonderful. Cause they don’t know better.
Well, we have these little stupid bitches like Brittney Griner, who ruined it for everyone she doesn’t know how good she has it. She’s a stupid, dumb lady.
How easy it is for us to forget how blessed we are in this country! I hope you enjoy every experience while you are here!
he migrated to usa
I love seeing Yoel’s reactions to the things we consider every day events. It makes me appreciate even more the freedoms and goodness of this country. God bless you.
I know me too, he's a doll
My first reaction as well. We are indeed blessed to live in this country. I take so much for granted. Yes, and God bless you.
It would be wonderful to see Cuba libre, and all her people enjoy what we have
I love watching Yoel's reacting to EVERYTHING... It's such a beautiful thing. I wish more people could experience his pleasure. God bless you Yoel.
Thank you so much Keyee. God bless you too!
One is humbled by his reaction to Movie Theater, how amazing for him in which we all take for granted!
I love seeing America through Yoel's eyes. Make me appreciate everything I have and all that my country offers.
Seeing someone come to America and sort of learning everything is great to see. I hope we can give similar great experiences and create a welcoming home for all the good people coming into America soon. On a different note, I know, but I just gotta give some love because I appreciate seeing this right now... Because a lot of peoples hearts are really hurting right now...
We know and we hope through our videos people can find a quick escape ad a way to see things in a different light. We are all so blessed in many ways.
Given how big baseball is in Cuba, how about taking him to a game? Either MLB or Minor Leagues, but yeah. I think he would love it.
College baseball is awesome and USC has a legendary program! ASU is also a good choice or head down to Tucson for UA Wildcats baseball.
She did.
A mlb game for sure
So much fun seeing life anew through Yoel's eyes. We forget just how much we have and can enjoy.
Mari, it is so appreciated that you and Yoel make these videos. It's simply too easy to take for granted what we have here and I'm reminded of it with every video. To be honest, I knew things were hard in Cuba but I really had no idea just how bad the conditions are. Thank you for shedding light on that for the (way too many) of us who didn't know the severity of what they suffer. Cuba, I pray for you. ❤❤
All Cubans should live free. Free Cuba 🇨🇺.
#patriayvida
Yes! Expel the socialists.
@@GotoHere *Communists.
Even the soda got Yoel 'starry eyed' love his reactions! Didn't know Cuba had a era of being financially advanced.
Cuba was a shining jewel in the Caribbean for sure. It was on track to keep oropering expinentiallt. A country cut down before it's prime
Before the revolution Cuba was the third wealthiest country in the western hemisphere after the United States and Argentina. Argentina was once a wealthy country too. Buenos Aires was the Paris of the Americas and Argentinos had the highest beef consumption in the world. Argentina tried socialism too and still clings to it even though they know it has brought them poverty.
Just FYI the Cuban Peso was at point equal to the U.S. Dollar. 1 for 1. And Havana was the Paris of this Hemisphere. My great grandmother's house had all the appliances found in a home here in the U.S. in the 50s. She even had a bidet put into the bathroom!
In the 50s Cuba was on par with Miami (or very close) and it was just getting going good. I was born in 1953 in Miami Beach so this was all going on as I grew up. After the revolution (especially after the Bay of Pigs) all the money started going to the Bahamas. There was only 2-3 hotels on Grand Bahama when I was a kid. Now there's hundreds! I would love to see Cuba open up BUT I hope the Gov. has the foresight, to have laws in place limiting growth! After all it has a giant neighbor to the north to see their bad example. I grew up in the Keys and I have no reason to ever go back, it has been ruined beyond redemption in my opinion.
Mari and remind us Americans that our freedoms are precious and never to be taken for granted. Many have given their very lives for us all here in America to live free. Blessed are those and their families who made the ultimate sacrifice. Be proud of America. Be proud of our history and heritage. America is the greatest country on earth 😎
What an amazing video we are so blessed to live here!! My wife is from Guatemala and she loves this country more than most Americans, him being from Cuba he understands how important freedom is! God Bless America!!
We take all this for granted. Seeing Joel react to this is amazingly joyful.
I can tell watching these videos that Yoel is going to go far in life.
Thank you so much! That is very nice of you to say. I believe so too- - Mari
@@YoelAndMari I bet, if he works at it, makes something of himself. Like I said on the other video. He's gonna walk into a Ford Dealership and get himself a brand new Ford Mustang. And he's gonna love it. I bet he might even pay cash!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this couple and I love watching their journey! He always shades a tear for "his people" back in Cuba who he never forgets!! To think that kids today (20-30) year olds think that Cuba does it right! I"ve said it before and I'll say it again. My favorite people in America are people who have recently come to this GREAT country and really appreciate what they can do here. When he shook his head and said "capitalism" he was right. It's the freedom to be successful. Whatever your idea of successful is
Dear Yoel, I hope you never lose your sense of wonder. You have a gift in your lovely wife.
Graciass
I tear up at almost all of these. Yoel seems so innocent and realizes what he and his family have and are missing in Cuba.
"A decent line." That about broke my heart.
In cuba there’s always lines. For everything.
I love watching these videos for two reasons:
1. To see a man come from a place where most people are poor, and then see his absolute joy when he gets to begin living the life he (and all humans) have deserved all along.
2. Every time I see how grateful Yoel is, even for what most of us in the U.S. consider basic necessities, I am humbled and reminded how blessed we truly are in this country. Seeing things like this convicts me of how I personally need to take notice of how convenient and comfortable my "average" life is here.
i came from costa rica when i was 9 and i never took anything America gave me for granted. i still sit in the rain and listen to the sounds the wind the raindrops and thank god i am in a country where i am alive. I love America so much that instead of using my scholarships i decided to become an air force combat medic. I wish i didn't get severely hurt but i would do it all again until my body is battered and broken.
Now that i found out i have stage 3 cancer at 42 years old i appreciate everything. I am grateful to be in a country where i served as a medic and saved lives despite the nightmares of the ones i couldn't. Glad to see Yoel enjoying it and you for bringing him along to the adventures of exploring The US.
This Fall a Renaissance festival would be fascinating for anyone not from the USA to attend.
I had no idea Cuba was that way before communism. A little glimpse of the past puts even more of an emphasis on how damaging communism can be.
Yes - It was one of the top economies in the world. It had lots of problems like income disparity but it has a bustling middle class that showed signs of upward mobility. Miami is what Cuba couldve been.
Cubans call their communism socialism. Tomato or tomato. Same same.
Cuba was the glamorous place to go by wealthy Americans and movie stars in the '30s-'50s.
Well, it's not communism per se, it's decades of economic sanctions. Let's imagine most countries refuse to buy or sell from some small Western country. Let's imagine it's also an island, which makes it more remote. I wonder how bustling its economic life is going to be in 50 years of blockade
Sad, but very true!
I remember when my son came from Germany in 1996. His expressions were priceless. I want him to see everything. We live in NC. He got his drivers license here. I taught him to drive! Bought his first car. Had prom & graduation. His class ring! Things Germany doesn't do.
When he drove to the beach 4 hrs away I was so nervous. He is back in Germany now, very successful. Returns to the states every 3-4 yrs. Because of the Covid restrictions 2020-2022 we did not see him. 😢
Hopefully this year will be different. I miss him dearly but we communicate weekly.❤
The things we take for granted this man is seeing and experiencing for the first time. America is a wonderful place.
Yoel is one lucky guy getting to enjoy all these new experiences. Thanks for letting us share the moment
Thank you!!! Thanks to viewership on our TH-cam we are able to do these new experiences !
Now, you must take him to an IMAX movie theatre, preferably 3D.
Oh thats a great idea!!! I went only once when i was a teenager (dont really remember! - Mari).
I second this, a real IMAX screen is absolutely massive, you two will love it!
@@YoelAndMari That was my first thought too; you took him to a relatively small theater! Show that man a proper multiplex with the BIG screens.
Save IMAX for the new DUNE movie coming out Oct. 22. It's going to be epic science fiction!
Oh, yes. I saw one Rolling Stones concert documentary in IMAX, it was awesome inspiring
I wanna see you guys have a child next... he's amazing you're amazing bring life into this world to try and fix some of the world's problems. America is the land of dreams and we need more people like you to ensure it's survival. Much love from Washington state usa.
I know this is 2 years ago. But every time I watch Yoel react to something new, the music of the Star Spangled Banner plays in my head. God bless the United States of America. May Cuba soon be free.🇨🇺
That’s a fancy movie theater, “entertainment center” really. Even I’ve never seen anything like it.
None in my area, like that one, either.
I, also, have never seen a movie theater like that. --And they bring your food to your seat?! Wow. (That's me, a native-born American's reaction; same as Yoel. )
we have theaters here in Sacramento where they deliver ur drinks and ur food to you but not one with a completely full arcade AND bowling alley lol. this is SICK!
I live near Cleveland, Ohio we have a few "entertainment centers" like that here.
@@darrelbuccilli7795 Yep
Has Yoel ever don’t VR games?! Because I know he would absolutely love it, his inner child will be exploding with joy. 😆
I wish I found a man who is happy with little things and appriciate life as much as Yoel does!
Yoel's reaction is priceless! I would take him anywhere just to see if gratefulness. It's humbling what we take for granted.
Thank you so much for the history you provide along with the glimpse into Cuban life in the 21st century.
My parents grew up with Havana being as much as an exotic, exciting tourist destination as Honolulu. It broke my parent’s heart when the revolution came and cut off the entire country from the free world.
It’s so strange to watch the 1940s movies and contrast it with my first experience of Cuba and watching the boat people risking everything to make it to Florida.
God bless the people of Cuba in their quest for freedom. I hope that some way information is getting back to them how much we love and support them.
Thank you. Yes it must have been tramautic for that generation and we sympathize with their pain.
I’m so glad Yoel is getting to experience these things and we get to experience them with him for the first time.
It is so wonderful to see your happiness Yoel. I also have seen bad times, and it makes you appreciate special blessings.
I love how whenever he sees something for the first time, he stands there and take it all in. The gratitude, gratefulness and happiness he has for our country is refreshing to see. Only because we take things for granted alot without realizing how good we have it here, despite the bullshyt....
It warms my heart seeing him get to experience so many wonderful things in America.
God bless you both. ♡
Thank you so much
Las Vegas is similar to Havana under Batista. Show him the low income housing there as well.
@@mick-berry5331 , keep in mind, this is America, not Heaven. And all the crap-holes in this country are run by Democrats.
AMEN 🙏🏻
Im delighted you included a little history of Cuba at the start. Please do it in every video. It was wonderful!
Thank you!!! We drop little things here and there. We will be creating a second channel that goes more into politics and history in a podcast style.
Yoel reminds me to always enjoy the little things in life. Never take anything for granted. That is the quickest way to lose it.
I love watching Yoel’s reactions. Truly reminds me how lucky we are to be living in North America. God bless!
It is so great to see these videos. It makes me appreciate the things we have here in America, that I often over look as normal. The childlike wonder is beautiful. Thank you for being great country men/women. Also nice Buffs hat. 😀
Glad you like them! and thank you! It was a gift from a vistior in Cuba! - Yoel
This makes me smile. It's great seeing someone appreciate the little things we all take for granted. I go to the movies and never think about it because I grew up having that experience. Seeing someone enjoy it for the first time is a great thing.
His love and appreciation for all the things that this country has to offer should be a lesson to those spoiled Americans who have taken this great country for granted. Yoel is the type of immigrant I want to see more of in this country.
that's a pretty fancy theater! so fun watching him see things for the first time! Wish everyone in the world could do it!
I love this ..Yoel is getting to see all the things we take for granted.. for the first time.. and it reminds me that shit ain't that bad
No,but it could get "that bad" if we keep going down the road we're on!
I love it when Yoel says “wow”.... it is exciting to see America from Yoel’s perspective....
I'm glad he experienced a modern theater with its big, reclining seat as opposed to the theaters of 50 years ago when the seats were static, uncomfortable folding chairs.
These are the kinds of friends you want. Humble and appreciate everything.
I recently took my 6 year old to his first baseball game at the Angel's stadium in CA (Angels vs Astros). He was amazed. I can't wait to see Yoel's reaction to his first juego de pelota in a stadium! Cheers to you guys!
Pronto!!!! Es que no me gusta el equipo por aqui. Hay q ir a un juego de los doyers! Gracias hermano- yoel
There's an idea, take Yoel to a sporting event, such as A Marlins game, a dolphins game or even a Florida Panthers game
@@YoelAndMari Los Doyers!!!
Living in Phoenix, you could always go see a Diamondbacks baseball game in your city!
@@YoelAndMari tienes que llevarlo a verlo cuando juegen contra los Angels de Ohtani. Lastima que los diamondbacks son malisimos.
“Una cola decente” 😂 only a fellow Cuban would understand what he meant by that.. Mari y Yoel- we LOVE you and sharing these experiences! Keep up the great work! 😘❤️🇨🇺
Patria y VIDA!
These are so awesome to watch, seeing a grown man marvel at America like so few Americans under 30, watching him be overwhelmed by it and appreciating it is incredible. He’s more American than most Americans.
Loved it...so happy I could read his words!!! ENJOY America...wish everyone could appreciate it like you two do!
Thanks Kari!!! i put the subtitles actually in the video. LOTS of work but I think more people will enjoy it.
@@YoelAndMari the subtitles help so much! thank you for all of the extra work it takes to make this possible for us to view. Seeing his words of appreciation makes a world of difference, aside from all of the light that projects from his amazed facial expressions. Bless you both
Those games aren’t for the kids… they are for the grown ups that act like kids. Me I act that way LoL
Haha you and yoel would get along!
I’d love to meet y’all and take him to an arcade
Girl..you need to bring him here to Albuquerque New Mexico in October..its the International Balloon Fiesta..over 2000 balloons from all over the world and special shapes..it is the most spectacular event ever. It will take your breath away.
My girlfriend is from Tacna Peru. I can't wait until she moves to the States. I want to show her so much. Thank you for sharing these experiences with all of us.
It’s so great watching you two. You always manage to surprise us, in a good way.
Thank you so much!
Caught this in the living room, and didn't realize my wife was watching. At the end when you said, "Let us know what you want us to do next." She immediately said, "Mall of America."
It is nice that he gets capitalism. It is sad that so many who have it so great in this country do not get capitalism.
I wish you both luck.
The other side of Capitalism is the abandoned neighborhoods in the rust belt cities. Take him there too, so he sees ALL America has done.
Yoel is a prime example of beautiful immigrants that come to America and make us all so much richer! I'm honored to be able to share so many of his "firsts" here in the U.S..
I luuuv Yoel’s reactions of amazement and wonder and surprise. Sooo innocent, like a little child. It truly makes me appreciate how blessed and fortunate I am to live in America!!! Thank you both for bringing a different take on things from those less fortunate or able. It’s beautiful!!🇺🇸
Dang! That's a nice theater! I've never been to one that nice or big before! Hope he had a great time!
No matter what you do it's pretty entertaining to see Yoel's reactions. Poor guy is always so amazed and humbled by things so many people take for granted in the US. Your channel also reminds us how blessed we are as well as the importance of Cuba being free once again.
Thank you Brian! We pray for Cuba's freedom every day.
I absolutely enjoy watching your clips. To see what we take for granted, through Yoel's eyes, is a reality check for most Americans. Keep up the good work and take him to Vegas and Disney World......lol ....he will go crazy. The both of you make a beautiful couple.
Take him to a theme park!! Thank you for sharing these experiences. Gives America a perspective on how good we truly have it.
This is amazing watching Yoel enter this journey into a new world
Isnt it? We thought TH-cam would enjoy this. Its a mini-documentary of our lives together, really.
It sounds simple, but a really nice playground for kids would be awesome to see him check out!
Wasn't it mentioned in passing that he has a kid(s)? I would assume things like that could get depressing to see
@@manthony777 I think you'd be surprised...plus, Yoel seems to be a big kid at heart. There are some pretty amazing playgrounds out there that I'd love to go run around and play on, and I'm 38.
Just because you're a grown up doesn't mean you can't have fun and use your imagination anymore!
You sir appreciate America more than most Americans. Love seeing the joy in your face. It's real.
Thank you!
It's so wonderful to see people appreciate their lives😇🙏🎉👌🎉✌️ and are thankful and not bitter about not being handed everything on a golden tray
Suggestions: It might be fun to have a visit to schools and universities. I assume there are public transportation busses in Cuba. Take a ride in one here. Take a trip to some large farms that have some similar foods grown in Cuba. Visit the rodeo, ride horses. Rent tourist electric scooters and zip around a park. Go to a public library. Compare housing. Compare dreams and goals and attitudes from before to now.
Great ideas! It would be cool to go where you pick strawberries, Watermelon. Apples, pumpkins. Etc
Too bad our Universities communist oriented.
Yes! In some countries they would love to go to school and can't. I loved my campus, and appreciated every day I went there.
That's big for even a theater where I am at lol.
Jeje 6 screens is A LOT !
@@YoelAndMari now you have to try imax. It's a completely different theater experience
America is a better place now that we have Yoel and Mari. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us. God bless you both.
New to your videos from Bay Area California. You can't fake the absolute wonder if what he is seeing !! We as Americans have so much, this is every day for us!!!!
Love how you add the history and pics of Cuba. It really helps me see the US through Yoel's eyes.
I'm loving his reactions, you can feel the emotion as it rises. Happy/sad, they're both written plainly on his face. He wants to take it back to share it with Cuba and I don't blame him! Thanks for sharing such a personal journey ❤️
I cry every video tears of joy because so many of my family has had the same eye opening experiences
I love seeing the world through Joel's eyes. It just makes me happy.
If you ever get the chance, I would love to see you & Yoel travel to Puerto Rico to see how life in an American colony compares to Cuba.
We would love to go to brother island.
@@YoelAndMari por favor, visit us here in pr. We would be happy to see your reactions :)
@@elvismanuelgonzalezdavila8949 tuve l oportunidad de conocer Puerto Rico en febrero y wowwwww me quede Fria. Muy triste pra nosotros cubanos ver Puerto Rico porque es cuba con desarollo.
As Americans, we sometimes take what we have for granted. Then, it's a huge reality check when you encounter a person who's never had what we consider to be something trivial, such as going to the theater. I want him to experience all there is to offer him, whether it be in your state or another.
Sometimes? As somebody looking in from Africa, it seems borderline 100% of the time take things for granted that side, no understanding/clue just how USA is a land of oppulance.
With all of the disfunction that is taking place in this country right now(America), watching your videos helps me hold onto the ideals that made this country the greatest. I want to see people who have always lived here appreciate this country as much as you do and that they would realize how important it is to protect it in a well informed manner.
I am glad to be able to call you my fellow Americans.
I am really enjoying Yoel's reactions to American venues. He is truly floored by what he's been observing that Americans really take for granted. We are so spoiled...and it takes a new immigrant from Cuba for us to recognize it. Keep up the great work and shock Yoel with more things. Maybe Vegas next?
I just found this channel. His reactions are so beautiful, I get tears in my eyes. I always forget how privileged I am to have all this army disposal and to just not appreciate it. May Yoel and many others get to experience life to the fullest!
My ideas are Yoel goes camping at a National Park, Yoel goes to pick cherries, Yoel goes to the capital city in his state, Yoel goes to visit a farm, Yoel goes to zoo, Yoel goes to Japan, Yoel goes to a museum, Yoel goes to Ikea, Yoel visits the trailer park (lol, this one I'm just curious about his reaction), Yoel goes to Universal Studios/ Disneyland, Yoel try escape room, Yoel goes to Vegas, etc.
Yes, Ikea
Don't forget Yoel goes to nascar and gets to meet a náscar driver and takes him on a ride.
I live, like, 10 MINUTES from that movie theater! Welcome to America! We're glad to have you here. 🙂
I met a Brazilian man when I was living in Florida who had just arrived in the U.S. a few weeks earlier. He became my best friend, I actually moved in with his family and everyday basically was like this. Just in awe of how magnificent America was. It was an excellent reminder to not get too used to things. Hope you're well, Yago.
It was great to see him react to all this!
Not having the option to go to movie theaters during Covid drove me CRAZY!! But since theaters around here re-reopened in May, I've definitely made up for lost time by going eight times so far, and am going again Saturday!!
