“They’re big and stupid, compete with livestock and wreck cars on highways.” Are Kangaroos just Australian deer?
Yes, but they can kick AND punch you
I haven't finished the video yet and though this quote was about Americans
Santa Cruz, California local here: Like someone in the video mentioned, the Pacific Ocean north of Santa Barbara is really *COLD* ! People expect the water to be warm like in SoCal or just assume it’ll be at a comfortable temperature because it’s “Sunny California”.They’re quite surprised to learn that you need a wetsuit in order to surf. Oh, and if you come to get a glimpse of Otter 841, please do it from shore. She needs her space. Don’t go out there looking for her like some have.
Right? People don't seem to understand that the Pacific ocean comes down from Alaska. The water is going to be cold!
As a long islander, the people visiting always think new york is just concrete and skyscrapers, yet are flabbergasted when they see clean beaches on fire island
I remember when someone on TikTok said some tourists be shocked that New York is just like any other state, it has it’s country side just like it has it’s bustling city side 😂
I'm from upstate and it's hilarious how ppl think NY is just the city, meanwhile you get 5 min out of town here and you're on somebody's farm!
I know 2 ppl who died in farm accidents back in HS.
@@DrinkYourNailPolish yeah I went to SUNY Oswego
South Dakotan here, five words
Don't fuck with the bison
😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
Never understand why tourists think they can mess with wildlife whenever they travel. Not just the Bison but heard stories of people even trying to feed things like bears.
@@Nostripe361 Ikr. There’s some idiot every year out here that makes the news
My mom's from Jamaica. That country is insanely impoverished and there's so much crime in odd places it's wild. The country is so pretty but damn. Everything was cheap except we spent all our money cuz even your family will hit you up for cash as the rich Americans
My college roommate was from there and based on her stories I would never visit (even though she reassured me that "tourist sites" and "resorts" were usually safe. She used to tell me about how bad things are and how her family was considered lucky to be in the USA.
Philippines is kinda like that. My wife is from there and I'd love to retire there (cheap to live) but her family, friends & neighbors would drain us of all our money very quickly. They all help each other there, which they also expect from you. I like that but they assume you're rich and EVERY emergency that comes along for friends and neighbors, you'd be expected to pay for it. Sick kid - How do you say no to paying the hospital bill. Someone dies -how do you say no to paying for funeral? Wedding - you're expected to like provide a pig, kids need school supplies - can you help? Bong wants to start a business - can you 'loan' him the money? (p.s. Bong doesn't know how to run a business and has no skin in the game so he won't put the work in...also he'll give credit to everyone until he's back to being broke again) ...etc, etc.
They're grateful, but that doesn't pay the bills.
I mean I'm happy to help but I'm not the neighborhood bank. You end up feeling like an awful human when you say no...and almost have to distance yourself from people so they won't ask for money.
I was stationed in New Orleans for a few years. The amount of trash tourists make is insane. After Mardi Gras the city was using bulldozers to move the trash off the streets. Every tree, in the tourist areas, have dozens of cheap plastic beads in them. There are so many that everyone has given up on trying to get rid of them.
Back in 2009-2010 I went to Australia to visit friends and spent 5 weeks there, and I did go out on a drive to the outback with one of them - with multiple maps, a large cooler with plenty to drink for both of us, and a full-sized spare with all the equipment required for a tyre change. Since he was a local and told me all of that was necessary, and it did also turn out necessary since we *did have* an unrepairable tyre blowout on an unpaved highway (hole in the sidewall) so we had to change the tyre under the scorching sun. After which we immediately had a new tyre put on the rim at the next town which was 45 minutes away.
I live in Chicago. I have never even once seen any gun violence in person, let alone experienced it. And as a substitute teacher, I’ve been all over the city for work. Most of the gun violence happens in 3-4 neighborhoods on the south side. Exercise the same caution that you would in any other large city and you’ll be fine.
Also, we don’t care that there’s been a name change. We still call it the Sears Tower.
Shout out to my home town. I love growing up there
I live in Minnesota and no one and I mean no one cares about the Mall of America. It’s just a big mall. And no it’s not cold here in the summer time. Most people I meet from other states thinks it’s cold here all the time. Like we do have summers which are beautiful
I've lived in Antalya, Türkiye. People think that it's all about resort hotels, stuffing your face with food, that all the prices are in Euros and that nobody has ever heard of card payments and accept Euros in cash. They also don't realise that the locals are not actually fluent in German and Russian in addition to Turkish, but that these languages are only spoken in the resort hotel areas. All of the towns along a stretch of highway leading from Kundu, the eastern part of Antalya to Alanya, could only be described as if Lalaland were a real place. Antalya itself is actually a very nice city with a rich history, lots of young people, hip places to go out and have fun, good restaurants and decent public transport (you don't need to pay 50€ to take a taxi to the city, pay 0,70€ to take the tram to the city). The resort hotel areas are boring with nothing authentic and everything catered to tourists. Antalya is livable, fun and worth visiting.
The tourists (and government) have destroyed the beach over the years and now the whole city is crumbling into the ocean
Hawaii here. Most people think the dark skinned people they see are Hawaiian. Not so. There are very few true blooded hawaiians left after disease in the early days, the rest intermarried into other cultural groups like chinese or portuguese. Plus alot of the people you see that you'd think are hawaiian tend to be hispanic or islanders from other places like fiji, micronesia, samoa, or tonga.
I used to livein Heidelberg - there was LOTS of japanes tourists there walking around with cameras and taking photos of everything they see. And I mean EVERYTHING. House, Cars, Parks, Gardens and people - and not only the old medieval sightseeing spots, but at all kinds of random spots. I honestly don't understand why they were actually doing that crap? How does a photo my some children playing in the yard or a front garden with just a hedge and some grass be worth taking for somebody literally living on the other side of the earth? Why do you need a foto of random salespeople in random stores in a foreign county and why do people from a country that is know for its people being polite and disciplines not get the idea that other people don't that you are taking random photos of them while they are living their normal live?
Kangaroos occupy the same ecological niche that deer do. Especially to the part about the highways and causing accidents.
Also as an American, I can confirm that people in new York are rude. Not only that but they do literally everything for you, even taking pictures. My advice, when in New York, only stop when you’re at where you needed to go and don’t let nobody do stuff for you. I got scammed out of $80 by some people who are taking a picture of me and Spider-Man. Never again! Even though the food there is nice
This isn't a misconception, it's just plain truth:
Every year, between April-October, my town gets taken over my Ohioans.
Where in the states, if you don't mind me asking? 😂
Myrtle Beach.
Not even Michiganders. Just us from Ohio 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
Now I can’t go to SC cause now I’m adding to the problem 🤣🤣
Just fly in and rent a car with an SC plate. Nobody will know the difference.
But that Ohio tag is guaranteed groans and sighs.
Living in Hawaii, a lot of people assume they can stay with you and don't book a hotel.
To the person who commented about Florida: As a Floridian, thank you for clearing this misconception up.
Alaskan here. If you want to compare winter temperatures to the lower 48's, compare with Fairbanks. Barrow/Utqiagvik's climate is moderated by the ocean. Also, in Southeast (Juneau, Sitka, etc.) it rains more than Seattle, including during the winter.
If you're filthy rich Hawaii is paradise. My sister went to university there.
And if you aren't you have to be working 2-3 jobs and pull in dual incomes with a gf or spouse just to make it. Hawaii is one of the few places where adult kids still living with their parents isnt frowned upon.
I live in Minnesota and no one and I mean no one cares about the Mall of America. It’s just a big mall. And no it’s not cold here in the summer time. Most people I meet from other states thinks it’s cold here all the time. Like we do have summers which are beautiful
i live in Cobourg Ontario Canada, 21,000 people usually, come the long weekends its around 40,-60, Canada long weekend its 90,000 people, mostly l from Toronto or the USA, all to the beach, and no parking , its horrible , take over the down town and side roads, a lot can't be bothered to learn English or understand it, or care about no parking means as such. no stopping in the road to unload when there are 15 other cars trying to drive.
I live in Orlando FL. It is more expensive to live here because of the tourism. All the stores price gauge tourists, so literally buying anything here is marked up more than if it wasn't a tourist area. Rent/housing is more expensive. Traffic is hideous. The town didn't have time to develop extra roads and lanes in response to a mass migration here, so the traffic is oppressive. The problem with the traffic is also that this town is not designed to be particularly walkable (unless you live in downtown, which you can't unless you lived there for decades or you are rich), so it gives this claustrophobic trapped feeling. I'm not really a huge fan of it to be honest, there's alot of places to go but you have to battle half the town, everybody's cutting in front of you and parking perpendicular to cross three lanes of traffic, making you have to sit through a light three times, god help you if you need to turn left anywhere, people from other lanes wanna go they just go in front of you. Car insurance is INSANE you can guess why, tons of accidents. Some idiot dented my car in a parking lot, didn't see them so.... This city is extremely overrated but people move here cause they are escaping the larger cities (god forbid you move to a rural or suburban place, I'd like to do just that tbh). The upside is going on vacations are relatively affordable, you don't need to get a hotel to go to a theme park. I feel it's just one of those nice to visit wouldn't want to live there places.
I have the pleasure of having lived in Green Bay my entire life. Quite often, I can pick the tourists out of a crowd because they're all wearing nice newly purchased Packers apparel, bonus points if at least one member of the group is wearing a cheesehead or some other hat fashioned to look like cheese. They're the ones hitting all the Packer related spots like Lambeau Field or the nearby Walk Of Fame. Point is, people wrongfully assume that the locals look like that all the time. I'll admit I wear a jersey or a shirt on occasion, but I have other things to wear as well.
I've seen a lot of travel videos on japan, where to go, what to do, what NOT to do etc. and ONE phrase keeps coming up...
"It's a COUNTRY, NOT THEME PARK"
I can't imagine how hard it must be for residents of Tokyo, and VERY busy city, having their lives disrupted by tourists who think everyone in the city is just some kind of animatronic placed there for their amusement.
That must be so irritating for them.
I'm cornish. Sounds like we have a lot of similarities with hawaiians.
Same for Gotland (Swedens biggest island). The southernmost part used to be totally inhabited in the winters, because everything was bought up by mainlanders who only spent the summers on the island.
@@Emmieloj sounds like a lot of our coastal villages. Absolute ghost towns apart from about 3 months over the summer season.
Former Las Vegas resident. I had no less than a dozen people in the 5 years I lived there ask me what hotel I lived in. They were shocked when I told them I lived in a house 30 minutes away from the strip.
Not technically a resident anymore, but I was born in Florida and I grew up in Illinois assuming Florida was this wondrous place where everyone was happy and friendly. This is not what Florida is like. That’s what The Nick Hotel was like. That’s what Disney is like. And maybe that was truly what Florida was like when I was little, but it’s not that way anymore. Florida is hell. The government is tyrannical, people randomly commit insane crimes with little to no explanation, literal Nazis protest outside Disney World daily and the cops aren’t allowed to do shit, black people’s votes go straight in the garbage, if they’re allowed to vote at all, and it’s on the verge of being swallowed whole by the ocean!
And you wanna know the worst part? That hurts. Knowing that the state you once loved is now probably too dangerous to even visit hurts.
Lol! Whats hot in alaska is chilly in texas! Lol
"scotland is seen a wild and untamed land"
bih, please, the glaswegians came down from the trees a week ago
I live in India. There are many misconceptions about India:
1) No, there aren't hundreds of cows just blocking every corner of every street, they are actually very few and far between and in city centres you won't see any cows. However, one animal you see everywhere is the dog. Stray dogs. Absolutely. Everywhere.
2) India is not an English speaking country and it is important to at least speak Hindi here. Only the educated people and people working with Indians from other parts of the country and foreigners speak it. India is more comparable to Spain or Türkiye where most people don't speak a word of English. India is also linguistically diverse and there are no languages called "Indian" or "Hindu".
3) Indian street food is safe to eat and delicious! It's quite healthy, too. It will not give you food poisoning as long as you see that there are many people huddled around eating the food and as long as it has good reviews online and seems legit.
Tourists are often backpacking for several months around the entire country and are on extremely tight and unfeasable budgets so they eat literal garbage that even Indians wouldn't eat.
India is a great place to be and people are very kind.
Not me, but when I was vacationing in Greece for a few days, I met some French tourists there, and told them all about how nice Paris was when I vacationed there. They were nice about it and politely told me that when they were there, the Parisians were rude and snobby. They also said that the rest of France was nice, but that they vowed never to return to Paris to visit for as long as possible, and that I should do the same. Now that I think about it, the people there in Paris were in fact snobby and rude at times… . Not to mention their food wasn’t good; seemed unnatural. So glad I listened to those people because I’m never going back to Paris as long as I’m still alive. Might travel to France again but staying away from Paris. That’s all
That your air bomb owner has ever even been there.
Please.... Book a hotel, it's unaffordable to live here now
Thank you so much for your video.
Dutchie that lives close to Amsterdam (15 min bike ride)
There is more to our country then just Amsterdam.
And also we live in The Netherlands not Holland.
2 provinces are called North and South Holland.
The whole thing is called The Netherlands.
Also there isn't a windmill on every corner of the street.
As a fellow dutchman, i agree but often the dutch themselves call it holland, so....
You already know that they mean the entire country, so stop being bothered.
As an American, I always wanted to visit holland after Amsterdam. Heard they made good chocolate there
SoCal here, while our weather isn't as wild/varied as other places, we do have it! Even right up to June/July so don't come here may/june and then start crying on the internet how you can't see the sun at the beach! If you need the sun that badly just go inland a few miles and you'll probably get it, though there will still be some days where the cloudy skies are everywhere....which is exactly why we call it "may gray" and "june gloom"..... we even have "no sky july" some years too!
Also if you go to a beach/cove that is known for having wildlife like sea lions and seals LEAVE THEM THE FUCK ALONE!!!!!
They are wild animals in the wild, and just cause people have access to the same beach does not mean you are somehow at some budget version of sea world or whatever the fuck makes people think they can get close to or even try to pet them! They will naturally avoid you if possible, but if you make them feel threatened they will attack/bite and NOBODY will feel sorry for you if they do!
So whiney tourists, you have been warned!
I live near the jersey shore and no not every resident of the jersey shore is a self obsessed, self absorbed and narcissistic person a decent amount of the people in the jersey shore are actually nice and kind so no not every person is like Snooki from the jersey shore show.
Live near tahoe and today is the 4th of july locals know to avoid the beach on this day its wild out there
