Lol I love it when foreigners fall in love with food we generally consider grab and go fast food or junk food. If you ever find yourself in and about florida or some of the historic places in Georgia such as Savanah, try some southern food, corn fritters, gator tail, southern barbeque in general. I know from another video that you love Disney world, if you havnt bre. I hope you get the chance
Parker Allen You must not get out much.. I have been traveling all over Europe and Asia, and nearly everyone I meet says good things about America, and how they wish they could go there.
polifatts same here, I see negative comments and views about America more on line than face to face in my travels, I never had a problem , people were always very nice
@@mikeelmira yes, people talk about us like this is the worst place in the world - why do so many wish to emigrate to a country that is supposedly such a hellhole?
I still remember my lesson on how to master the Irish accent that I was taught in a pub in Dublin....tink, turd, tree, tanks...."I tink we're going on the turd of May. That's in tree days. Tanks a million!"
Fellow Scot here and I can relate to so much of this. My “born in to America” place was Memphis last May (and I’m going back in 10 weeks), and I fell in love with it all. The southern hospitality is amazing, every single person was SO nice. The southern accent. And there’s so much history in Memphis, in terms of music history and civil rights etc. You feel it everywhere you go. And the biggest hotel in downtown Memphis lets anyone go up to the roof and you can see all around the city for miles. We went up one night in the dark, and seeing the cityscape all around me, all the big buildings and the lights, I was awestruck and emotional and briefly never wanted to come home. So I exactly understand the feeling you mentioned. 🇺🇸🇺🇸
People in the South have alot of Scottish and Irish ancestors. They settled that area of the US in the 1700s and 1800s. The Southern accent is a spin off of the Celtic accents .
Big Dream You would love Tennessee driving through Mt.Eagle, The Appalachians, or the Smokies is awesome. I'm a Georgia native and if I had to move to another state Tennessee would be that other state.
Elizabeth Love Memphis! Mississippi River, Graceland, Sun Records, Lorraine Motel (now the Civil Rights Museum) the duck walk through the Peabody Hotel, and the world's greatest BBQ! But a word of caution to visitors from across the pond: Please practice situational awareness. There are parts of the town where you do NOT want to be! If the doors and windows of the shops are covered with metal bars, find somewhere else to be immediately!😛
Hi, Mosco. I *love* your T-shirt! This quote says "the English", but it works for all of the UK. "The difference between America and England is that Americans think 100 years is a long time, while the English think 100 miles is a long way." --Earle Hitchner
It depends on where you are in America as to the 100 miles part....I grant the accuracy of the first part, but here in Texas we tend to measure driving distance in time as much or more than in miles. :)
So nice to hear someone loving on America! I'm from Northern California and I LOVE the physical landscape-- mountains, huge redwood trees, massive granite cliffs, vast desserts, beautiful lakes, etc.
I have. Just got back from 2 weeks in Las Vegas. The casinos are a spectacle in their own right but my wife and I mostly enjoy hiking in the mountains and desert surrounding the city.
I am a Native American of the Blackfoot Nation in the Siksika Tribe, and grew up in the Coastal Mountains of Oregon. On the mountain I grew up on in the large Evergreen forests of the Pacific Northwest, my home overlooked the Pacific Ocean on one side, and I could see the Cascade Volcanoes and the Willamette Valley on the other. I am also a US Army Military Police Veteran, and fought alongside some brave Scotts in Afghanistan, Bosnia, and Kosovo [thanks for the tea guys...I actually still have a baggy saved from '96 as a keepsake yall gave me xxoo]. Since you seem to like American food, and didn't get to come out to one of our Native American Reservations or Powwows, I thought I'd share it with you, and you can make it in your home in Scotland for a little taste of 'Merica. We Native's call it: Banana Boats. It's what yall would call a "dessert" or a "treat". You take a nice fresh banana [try NOT to use the banana's with the black spotted peels. Use those for banana bread] and cut carefully cut down the "J" part of the banana. On one side of the banana inside the peel, put pieces of your favorite chocolate candy bars [we use Hershey's but I don't recall seeing that in Scotland when I was there...use whatever chocolate candy bar kind of treat you want]. On the other side of the banana in the peel, place some marshmallows [if the tiny marshmallows are all you have then use them. if the giant marshmallows are all you have then break/cut it into smaller pieces to fit between the peel and the banana]. Now we usually have a HUGE bonfire at our Powwows where we place our banana boats close to the fire and allow the chocolate and the marshmallows to melt. You may not be able to have that or even live in a place to make one in Scotland unless you live in the Highlands or a farm. So using a microwave works too, just be careful to keep it on "low" as marshmallows and microwaves can be......sporty....lol. So keep an eye on it. You can also use a baking oven. Just keep it on low...like not above 250F...place your banana boats on a cookie/biscuit tray in the oven, just wait long enough for the chocolate and marshmallows to melt, and they will be ready to eat. Once the chocolate is melted [really depends on your microwave setting...could take 1 minute or as little as 30 seconds] the peel of the banana will serve as your bowel, and you can start eating your banana as soon as you like! You can also add whipped cream, cherries, and nuts to give it a "banana split" flavor. Not everyone can afford to come to America, but maybe this will bring a little bit of America to yall across the pond from us Native Americans. Its nearly our Thanksgiving here, so Happy Thanksgiving to you Scotts, and my husband and I hope to make it out to your nation in the next few years. If you see a woman in her mid 40s wearing Native American regalia, yup....that will be me! Cant wait to visit my old friends from my military days, pay my respects to your fallen brave men and women who I served with, and enjoy your culture [and that of my husband....yup....I married me a Yankee mutt whose ancestors come from Scotland and Wales...a good "Southern" gent from Missouri who is as kind and strong as the men I served with from the "motherland" of Scotland]. I want to visit one last time before my time on earth is done. Anywhooooooo, nice video young lady [lass], and I hope you are able to make a nice career out of TH-cam and get to visit more of America, and the world. I'Taamomohkatoyiiksistsikomi: Happy Holidays!
@Kevin Oloane are you drunk, high, or just born stupid? Do copy and paste where I said anywhere on international social media, MSM, magazine, newspaper, or book where I mentioned anything about who landed on the North/South American Continent first. BTW....in my tribe, we do do DNA testing, and not ONE of us have "Chinese" DNA in us. We do have Mongolian, Indonesian, and Japanese in us. You are making assumptions out your six as you troll and shill social media, vomiting up what THEORIES...NOT FACTS...that you have been force fed via propaganda and a pushed narrative. Its like saying we Natives are "savages" when our peoples lived thousands of years in relative peace, compared to the rest of the world, with no words for "liar" or "owner of land" in our languages until the peoples of Africa, Europe, and Asia came here after 1492. As for me being or not being "Native", do tell everyone who my parents, grandparents, Native Status, tribes that I have family in [not counting Blackfoot], where I was born, and so on. It should be easy since you claim I am not Native American. Though this young lady's not the platform for your behavior or shaq mobile's, its been nice watching you both behave the way you do....and yet Native Americans are still known in history to be the "savages". Keep up the propaganda, lies, trolling, and shillery there slick. Its been entertaining! lol
This is a beautiful post and I just have to thank you for it. Thank you, thank your tribes, thank you for caring for the land in the way it deserves. Bless you and yours!
@@misstimountaincop95b first of all I am full blooded Seneca native from the Iroquois nation and we do have Chinese in our blood we are Oriental in origin of all Asians so keep on talking s*** like you don't know what the hell you're talkin about Kevin is right... We have all Oriental countries in our blood here as natives of the Americas North and South
@@coyalyons6049 GREAT! You claim to be Seneca of the Iroquois! Maybe they can teach you how to read the American dialect someday! Kevin said "CHINESE" not "ORIENT or ASIA" slick! Do you know the difference? How many SOVEREIGN NATIONS make up the Orient in Asia? Do you know? Or were all you taught was "CHINA!" The post you made is as stupid as someone eating at a Japanese Restaurant and claiming they are eating Chinese. Its like someone hiring a Vietnamese or Korean employee and calling them a Chinaman. We have over 250 Federally Recognized Native American SEPERATE NATIONS in the USA alone, not counting the ones the USA/Canadian federal governments DONT recognize. I CLEARLY stated I am Blackfoot! NOT SENECA! The DNA in my veins and that of my tribe DIFFERS from you and your tribe, as it does all the other tribes! I studied forensic profiling and forensic geography in Pierce College, University of Winnipeg, and in Bonne University where I tested my own DNA, that of test subjects in my own tribe, and other test subjects. NONE of the people in my tribe had "CHINESE" DNA in us! We DID have OTHER Asian/European blood in us, WHICH I SAID IN MY POST. If it was too hard for you to read you might want to consider hiring a tutor for you and have them read it back to you. How many SOVEREIGN NATIONS make up the CONTINENT OF ASIA? How many of THOSE are "Oriental"? Or is "CHINA" the only nation that your brain can think of? Your post is as stupid as someone eating at a Japanese Restaurant and saying its "Chinese". Its as stupid as someone hiring Vietnamese or Korean employees and saying they are "Chinamen". Have you even seen a globe, map, or atlas? Have you been to Asia? I have. I was stationed in Korea. And NONE of them are "CHINESE" although Chinese men come there to kidnap women because their socialist nation only allows them to have one child [a law recently amended to 2 children], and the females were executed. Have YOU EVER took your own DNA, test subjects of your tribe/nation, and other test subjects of people with different epidermis and TESTED IT YOURSELF? I have. I already said what I found in our DNA, AND IT WASNT CHINESE! Tell me, is the nation I mentioned "ASIAN" or "FROM THE ORIENT" slick? If you dont know, do go to the library and get a map, hire a tutor, or even access it on the computer. That is your choice though to educate yourself, as I am not going to force you to take a vaccine of education to fight the "Stupid" virus, because I hate slavery in ALL its forms, unlike you as clearly evident in your foul mouth uneducated slavery post. You are just regurgitating FAKE INFORMATION pushed onto the world by Radical Socialist Liberals....that SAME idiots who called US SAVAGES while they burned women at the stake just for learning how to spell their name. [Sounds familiar to current Islam doesnt it]. Do explain the current DNA testing that went on in Mongolia with "blond" Mongolian test subjects WHO NEVER LEFT THEIR NATIONS that tested with high Mitochondrial DNA markers for Amazonian Tribal Blood. That must be the "Chinese" doing too huh? Where is Mongolia? Is it ALL a part of Asia? OR is it made up of a European nation/Continent as well? No one should be as ignorant as you and Kevin are about your own people with true information at your very fingertips! Suggestion: when reading "history" try RESEARCHING THE RESEARCHERS! WHO funded them. WHERE did they get their test subjects. HOW did they do their scientific methods to rule out contamination? WHAT was their PAID obligations to their sponsors/employers? DID they have a team of historians made up of multiple faiths, non-faiths, political parties, races, sex, and educated in different schools of thought? OR, were they ALL THE SAME, THINK THE SAME, TAUGHT IN THE SAME PLACE, SHARE THE SAME EXACT BELIEFS? How is THAT a true "diversity" of thought to conclude ANY form of real unbiased conclusions if they ALL are the same? So, if you CHOOSE to hire a tutor and re-read what I posted to where you can comprehend the basic American Dialect, maybe try again! Or, you can choose to suppress the freedom of thought, freedom of education, freedom of speech just like the same Radical Socialist Liberals from around the world suppressed our original Native Tongue...funny....did they do that to the Scotts and the Irish as well? The PUBLIC....regular folks...THINKING FOR THEMSELVES are what those "NWO/Elitist" are most scared of. As long as you believe their lies, propaganda, projection, and are good little slaves, you allow them to be in complete control of you, your future, and allow them to even rewrite your past inaccurately. DNA has proven their lies wrong, just like Technology as proven the MSM to be FAKE NEWS. Before you go all "REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE" on me, no, Im not a Republican at all, nor have I ever been. A good hacker could show you my real name, and also bring up my voter Registration and prove Ive always been an Independent Voter. Why? I prefer to hear both sides to a story and THINK FOR MYSELF instead of have some major political party tell me how to think. Radical Socialist Liberals: keeping slavery alive in the USA since 28 January 1828. Sad that Native Americans cheer for it.
Love that shirt! One of the key things here is that you were able to experience Americans as individuals. I can remember growing up in the USA in the 80’s during the Cold War and all the animosity towards Russians. And I can also remember how exciting it was to meet an actual Russian during that time and how much it tickled me to find out we were both Beatles fans. It is truly a wonderful thing to meet with people and not governments.
What most people find amazing about America is the size. Once you are away from the east coast you can drive for six hours and cover hundreds of miles and the people have the same accent. In Europe if you drive hundreds of miles you have crossed several countries and multiple languages.
God I get you, I miss America so much, I was there with Work & Travel and worked while in uni and then went back because my visa would have expired. I love theeeeeeemmmmm Greets from Romania ❤️
Come to Louisiana in April or May and try boiled crawfish (preferably boiled in Zatarain’s Shrimp and Crab Boil and sprinkled with Tony Chachere’s Original Creole Seasoning). The corn and potatoes boiled in with the crawfish are also delicious. The best way to have them is on a table spread with newspaper. Also, if you like corn dogs, try corn bread fresh out of the oven with butter on top. Another Southern specialty is sweet (iced) tea. You probably didn’t see either of those items in Boston or New York.
Oh, the south and the food. I miss so much of it....low country boils, hush puppies, bbq, shrimp & grits, gumbo, pecan pie, key lime pie, I could go on and on.....
I love that you embrace being a tourist and being able to amazed at even small thing. So many people want to be cool and blend in but it's a wonderful thing to be able to be surprised.
As an American, I loved this video. I actually lived right outside of Boston for a year put am a Washingtonian. I love the fact that our fire hydrants made your list. During the 70’s there was a time they painted them to look like little revolutionary people. I watched this vid while drinking a Dunkin Donuts ice coffee. I have to admit I never thought our food was unique, and I just don’t like corn dogs.
Dory, where outside of Boston did you live? I lived in Chelsea when I was there in the 90's. I loved downtown Boston, but it seems so much different from when I was there. There is something missing, and I am not sure what it is. I still love the city, but something is missing.
I bet the corn dog you had had honey in the corn bread batter. Try your next one with yellow mustard. I love your videos because your energy is infectious 😊
tracy freeland I second that!! Along with antelope pass, devils tower, yellowstone, mt Rushmore, and stone mountain....and pretty much all of new Mexico.
tracy freeland I’m from Tucson and when I moved to Vegas I finally went to the Grand Canyon. Lol. It’s magical. I really love Sedona. I could retire there. ❤️
Closet Extrovert, I backpacked it--3 times, plus twice into Havasu Canyon. Both Supai village and Phantom Ranch are amazing places in which to spend the night.
I love when everyone comes together on the 4th of July to celebrate the founding of our nation. I also love the many different cultures here and the wonderful landscape.
Wendy's, Donut Holes, Grilled Ham and Cheese. Yep, we take those things for granted for sure. Although, I will say down south we prefer Krispy Kreme over Dunkin anyday of the week. My part of North Carolina is heavy Scottish settled and we still have yearly Scottish games, etc. Enjoy your videos very much. :)
Thank you for being so excited about the U.S.! It is refreshing hearing all of the positive things you have to say about America. I think the thing I enjoy the most about living here is the variety. I'm from Ohio, so we get all four distinct seasons. Go south to Florida and you get tropical weather. Go out west and you get the vast, flat, Plains. Head down to the southwest and you get the desert. We have the beautiful Appalachian/Smokey Mountains here in the east and the giant Rocky Mountains out west. Really, whatever topography, climate, scenery, etc. you are looking for, you can find it somewhere in the U.S. If you make it back to the U.S., where do you plan on visiting next?
If you love accents, you should head to the Southern states of the US... Especially Texas, Louisiana, etc... Oh- and Pennsylvania (where I grew up), and have a conversation with an Amish person.
I live in America and yes, I love your accent! I was fortunate enough to visit England and Scotland in 2014. Of course you're right about how "young" we are. Especially seeing the castles in London and Edinburgh. We loved the train system in Edinburgh. So easy to get around. Very easy to walk from place to place. Unlike in the US where places are so far apart that we drive everywhere. I enjoyed hearing the bagpipes being played. I know it's a tourist thing, but we had to get our photos taken with the guy playing them (we tipped him well) LOL I also really like the various tartans by family. Really beautiful cashmere, too! I would like to come back. I was surprised we didn't see more Highland cows (the hairy ones) when we were driving in the Highlands. But, our stop at the Dewar's distillery made up for it. Hahaha. Love your videos!
So nice to hear you are expanding your horizons by exploring the world a bit. Glad you chose the USA to explore. Over the course of a lifetime I still havn't seen the entire USA, but I can tell you this... Every place you go in this huge country is going to claim the best food of some type. And in their own way, they will be right. Because so many different cultures went into building this nation, there is a huge variety of different types of food and ways to prepare it. I don't think you could possibly realize how large this country is without at least one or two serious road trips. If you get the chance, take a trip all the way down the East coast, or be even more daring and do a full cross country trip. Just plan to be on the road a while. Once you hit the midwest their are huge ranches and farms that seem to go on forever. You can drive a whole day at highway speed and still be on the same piece of property. The scale is beyond description without having experienced it. The wide open plains, the towering mountains, the awe that is the Grand Canyon or the majesty of Yosemite. We call these national parks. Europeans would thing each of them to be a nation unto themselves. They really are that large. Imagine a field of grass that is large enough to hold a million bison thundering as one heard for so far that you can't see the end of it. Then imagine a forest of old growth trees that are as high and higher than any of those buildings you saw in Boston. What you saw is such a tiny part of the USA that you just don't realize how much you didn't see. Be sure to come back and see a whole lot more. We love people with your spirit! It's what made this the nation that it is.
Kevin Aylward Well said! You brought a tears to my eyes❤️️ You are right about the size of the country being difficult to grasp. I was in Germany a few years ago with my child's class trip and one of the teachers from Germany was talking about his trip to California. I said that I too would like to visit California some day, and he seemed so surprised that being from the US, I hadn't been. I'm from Wisconsin...that's a big road trip 🚕🇺🇸
as an american all i can say is at this point i require copious amounts of alcohol to prepare oneself for political talk,perhaps an all night drink filled bender should suffice hmm yes?
AshTheOne Are you crazy? Obviously you've never been in any of the National Parks, or seen a rodeo, or visited Jackson Hole. It's the West, the true West of this nation, magnificent and wild and quirky as hell.
I have close family friends from Scotland who I’ve known since I was just a kid in 1984. Our families have done many trips together both in the states and the U.K., gone to each other’s weddings, and many other things. It’s always interesting to me how much we as Americans love so many things in Scotland, that are either the exact things that are Scottish friends are tired of, or are just very commonplace, while with our Scottish friends it’s almost the exact opposite for them with things in the states. Much like you describe about fire hydrants or sewer covers. For example, my female Scottish friend loves NASCAR, Ray Ban sunglasses, and Budweiser. While there are a lot of Americans who are into those things, many Americans stick their noses up at those things. Or as Americans we love seeing round red post boxes around Britain, or black cabs in London. But for Brits it’s a very normal or boring thing that they may be tired of.
Glad you enjoyed your time in America! Hope you can come back soon and see more of the wonderful sights! Beautiful beaches in the Carolinas and Florida! Each region is a world all it's own! I know I can't wait to visit Scotland!
Details for becoming my lad or lass of the week can be found in the video description =D But don't forget to let me know all the things you like / want to see in America!
FWIW: I live in North Carolina now, but I was born and raised in St. Petersburg, Florida. My idea of a "White Christmas" was GOING TO THE BEACH. It would be too cold to swim - only the Canadians & New Yorkers would be in the water {LOL}, but it was STILL wonderful to go there.... EDIT: Some commenters have mentioned the seasons in parts of the USA. Florida has two: *(1) HURICANE SEASON.* *(2) WAITING FOR HURRICANE SEASON* ;~)°
I know I can’t wait until I can get back to Scotland and it sounds like you feel the same about America. Now we Americans don’t have the history you all do but, we DO have pride. I’m a 6th generation Texas and I’d love for you to come visit the folks I personally feel y’all are closest to... in our thoughts anyway. I love you to try our BBQ. Round Rock Donuts (best in the world) and anything else you’d like to try! I love your enthusiasm and excitement. Give us a holler if you’re coming back to the states and maybe we can get on down to Texas.... Austin, Texas to be more precise. I think you’d love our funky little town. All our music (Austin, the music Capital of the world!) art and food.
I am originally from a farm town in New York, named Homer, but I now live in North Carolina. One of the best things that you can get in New York would be their Pizza.
Tammy, if you wanna see a beautiful skyline, you gotta come to Chicago. Plus, we have awesome food..........deep-dish pizza, Chicago-style hot dogs, Italian Beef, etc..
Drive an hour north when you're done. Have a look around. Then keep going. Stop for fresh (squeaky!!) cheese curds on your way up to the Dells, Green Bay, Door County, or the Apostle Islands. Go even further north to the U.P. (Michigan) or west to Minnesota (hello Mall of America!)
Geoffrey Voigts Yes! Chicago style hot dogs rule! I saw a video of Street food in Mexico, and they put ketchup on their hot dogs! I nearly burst into tears-so wrong!
I love your enthusiasm for America. ;) I've lived my whole life on the west coast (Oregon and California) and there's a lot to see here - the Redwoods on the north coast of California, Crater Lake in Oregon, Yosemite - just to name some of the "big" things. I live in what I call the "Greater Los Angeles Metro Sprawl" (the GLAMS ;) and while there are annoyances like with any big city, there's amazing things about it; at a certain time of the year, it's entirely possible to go snow skiing in the morning and surfing later in the day. I know the best place to get a clear view of the "HOLLYWOOD" sign without a lot of buildings in the way.
Well, when it comes down to getting to an appointment or some other scheduled event on time - how long the trip typically takes at that time of day in our sometimes wild traffic is far more relevant than the actual distance. ;)
"Oh, its about 5 minutes down Blank Boulevard, take a right down Something Street, and drive until you see the Starbucks, it should be on the right side." Yep. That's me.
Born and raised in So Cal, I've lived in So Central Missouri for nearly 30 years now and still use the time for road trips! Natives always look at me strangely!
The heat? You should visit us in the Midwest. Here in Kansas City we get up to over 100 in the summer (40C +) with 100% humidity. Sometimes it does not get below 90 (32C) at night. Then in winter we can be -10 (-20C) and snow or ice. Heck, last week we had a day that started out at almost 60(15C) and the temp dropped all day and between noon and 5 pm we had periods of total sunlight and blue skies followed by 10 - 20 minutes total white out blizzard conditions and then sun and clear again (that repeated several times that afternoon) with the temp at 24 (-4C)...then it rained that night . As we like to say, don't like the weather here? Wait 10 minutes...it'll change. If you get further south (Oklahoma, Texas, Louisiana) the heat is even worse, but the winters start to moderate. Up north of us they get much colder/snowier winters but the heat is not as bad.
Agreed we have crazy weather here in Kansas Friday it was 75F and this evening, Saturday, we are getting flurries of snow with a low predicted of 27F. Tomorrows high is suppose to be 37F come Tuesday it is predicted to be in the 70's.
"look!!! A circular manhole cover!!!" Ha ha ha. That had me laughing. You're funny. But i totally get the idea of the yellow cab thing. We americans probably do the same thing when we go to London and see red double decker buses. I lived in San Francisco and you'd probably get a kick out the Cable Cars cause they are real and in movies and two of them are still commuter cars. 28 degrees? lol Yeah in LA that's just a regular day. It got 46 degrees last summer. it was riduculously hot. Scary and dangerous hot.
Tammeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. Have you thought of visiting Nashville, Tennessee? Music, food, heat. There is a club for every musical taste. Then there is barbecue...... A very, very serious business in the South. Tomato base, mustard base, honey sweetened, fiery habanero, smoked.
Then I have to recommend Salt Lake City, Utah or Denver, Colorado. Part of that is that either is a largish American city with 2 million for SLC or 4 million for Denver. Both are backed right up against beautiful mountains with great touristy drives. If you're willing to sit in a xar for 8-10 hours than several of the largest and best of the U.S. National Parks are available. Both have loads for restaurants that are American and loads of international options too. Either has great Universities so maybe a student visa and stay a while?
WeeScottishLass, we would love for you to visit Tennessee!! I live about an hour and a half south of Nashville, myself, but would love to meet up with you if you ever come there to visit! The food is AMAZING, and the South is pretty different culturally than Boston or NYC. You would definitely get a kick out of our accent.
Cairns Chaos Brought some Beef jerky to Scotland and shared it with my Scots friends there ~ they never had it before ~ had to teach then how to eat it and not pull on it like they see in the cowboy movies, you break a piece off and then you eat it, otherwise you'll pull out your teeth! They loved it. Also brought some pecans with me and gave some and holy cow, they've never had it before 😢.
I love hearing compliments about my country from foreigners. I'll be honest, I love the Scots and Irish! I don't know much about Wales but would love to know more, or speak to someone from there. My personal experience with England hasn't been a good one unfortunately. My freshly London moved neighbors complained about EVERYTHING in an apartment I used to live in. They were constantly insulting every native person bc they "missed home". I hope to find someone from England one day that isn't so judgemental. I have friends from Australia and New Zealand who are amazing! Yes, I think life is better when we can all just accept culture differences and keep out politics.. haha!
You may like florida weather. You drive down the road. It dark and storming. Go under a bridge. When you come out the otherside its hot, bright and sunny. Like you timewarped into another world.
Come to Houston, Texas in March! The temps aren’t too hot & the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo is happening! I have a lovely spare bedroom in my home, 3 blocks from the train. I think the food at the Rodeo will blow your mind!
The next time you visit America , come Down South . I'd reccomend flying into Atlanta Georgia . You can get your big city fix and then get out into the countryside . The South is like a different country than the rest of the USA .
@@garlandthompson5970 Maybe its because there are more Scott's an Irish descendants in the south than there is in the whole of Ireland and Scotland together..........
@@tomcat8316 I think you mean the Scots-Irish who outnumber both the Scots and the Irish down south. They're still ethnically Scottish though. Oirish Irish are still mostly North East Coast.
@@sparc77 Definetely comparable at the very lest. Scotland is more centre left then England, so there's a North South divide. However your size definetily adds more, especially when it comes to cuisine and outlook. The UK still has more accents/linguistic variation though, you can travel 30km in the UK and the accent and colloquial speech feels like its moved 300 miles. Of course there's exceptions to the rule like the Pen-Dutch and some other German and French speaking enclaves in the States who are in their own bubble.
I'm not at all surprised at your feeling of awe at the Boston skyline. I went to college there and still am in awe of the beauty of Boston's skyline with the beautiful Hancock building standing out in all it's glassy splendor! It's an incredible sight to behold.
I am American and I love it that I can spend time chatting with strangers wherever I am in the US. We say “hello”, comment about food or scenery or weather, and spend a couple of minutes or an hour visiting with almost anyone. Say “hello” to strangers in some other parts of the world and get a cold, blank stare in return. A smile and a friendly hello can make a difference in one’s day.
Jody aka Yodelin Joda We have had Tim Horton's for decades where I live in NY. They're definitely not new to the area at all, lol. They DO have the BEST coffee and we call them Timmy Ho's.
1) you are adorable! 2) please come back for a long long holiday, and make arrangements to really explore more of the USA. The Appalachian Mountains, especially in North Carolina, are SO beautiful. Our Appalachian Range will remind you of Scotland in some ways... why? Because they ARE part of the same range in Scotland (it was all one range of mountains before the continents split apart!) The “cultural region” known as Appalachia (from basically Kentucky down to Georgia) was heavily settled by the Scottish, Irish, and Scots-Irish. Boston and NYC have their charms,but there is SO much more to see and experience. Please come back! 😊
So many people don't realize the hidden treasures here in Utah. 5 of the most popular and beautiful National Parks and some truly epic scenery. Climates ranging from desert to high mountain tundra, snow capped peaks.
Call Boston's a good choice it is twice as old as the Republic. So much culture in the attitudes that began this Republic are still there. The sarcasm and the rebellious nature is what it took to get the job done. I hope you had a great time you deserve a full tour of all the hot spots in America. Just here in California a prison could spend a lifetime in California alone I've been in 46 of the lower 48, that is something that can never be taken away.
I'm partial to Boston being a New Englander, but I've been around the country. No place in the US is more aware of its place in American history than Boston. Philly comes close, but Boston revels in it. There are certainly lots of sights of various kinds to see, but I think for any tourist, especially one from a northern or wet climate, my number one suggestion for natural, awe-inspiring beauty to see is the Grand Canyon. It's one thing to see it in pictures, and quite another to stand at the edge.
I love your enthusiasm for all of the small and tall things you saw. I have lived near Boston all my life and sometimes seeing the skyline makes me proud to know I have at least a small part in it. It sounds like you felt part of it too.
Your excitement over "small things" is so cute and charming. :) Loved it! Also really appreciated the fact that you recognize how diverse America is and that you only got to see part of it. As an American, I love it when people respect what a variety we have here.....so thanks. :) Hope you get to come visit us many times!
I totally agree. I cannot WAIT for my first trip to the UK and see all the charming non-skyscraper stuff. For example, if I were driving down a country lane and saw a cute, crumbling stone wall with a meadow and sheep grazing, I would slam on the brakes and just gawk. I would be beside myself seeing the Cotswold villages, Scottish castles, and the like. And here's my stupid equivalent to her fire hydrants and manhole covers: fancy, wrought iron door hinges on huge oak doors...LOL! Like the kind on little fairy house doors, except bigger ones on real buildings. I'd be like, "OMG, they're real!" All I want to do is walk into a Thomas Kinkaid painting and ditch the skyscrapers!
@@Mustangmom2k Since I posted my comment 6 months ago, I realized if I didn't just book the trip I would probably never get to see exactly what you mentioned in your reply. So I jumped onto the internet and booked the trip. I was supposed to depart the end of April but then the virus put this on an immediate hault. I now have my trip planned for next year around end of March. I guess this gives me more time to dream about all the simple things instead of....buildings.
Have to try eating at a Black Bear Diner if you ever get out to the Western half of the U.S. You should. Don't eat for two days to be sure you will finish your plate. The finest thing to see in America is our National Parks. That would be the finest trip you might make to the U.S.A. Grand Canyon, Yosemite, Yellowstone, Grand Tetons, Zion, Rocky Mountain, Great Basin, Moab, Arches, Great Mesa, Gettysburg, Great Smoky Mountains, and about 10,000 more I will be in trouble for not naming.
Totally agreed - Black Bear Diner is one of my favorite restaurant franchises! And I'll throw in something near Las Vegas - that one can actually drive or walk across the top of Hoover Dam, and look out over Lake Mead on one side and the river gorge on the other! (And since through traffic was moved to a 4-lane bridge some years ago, it's JUST tourists/sightseers, so much safer to do so than it used to be!)
I'm not sure about ignorance or bigotry in my comment. Neither Rochester or buffalo are upstate, regardless of what YOU call them. I am from upstate ny....north of the adk park. Maybe you are the one being ignorant thinking north of NYC is "upstate"
So you relieve me of my so called ignorance, accuse me of being bigoted because buffalo is western NY and Rochester is central NY not upstate and now I'm a troll. Ya ok lol
As an American it’s sweet to hear something nice about my country. Thank you for being uplifting... the world needs more of that and you’re pushing our positive energy.
No... otherwise I'm sure they'd have changed them. The same way yours stay up is the same way ours do too, the tops overlap some of the concrete under keeping them in place.
Right, but a square cover could be turned and dropped edge-first down the hole on the diagonal; there's no way to do that with a round manhole and cover.
Here in Florida there is no season change its always " hot " winter is like 13 days speraticlly placed over 2.5 months never visit between June - August it gets ridiculously hot
I’m from Minnesota, where we have one of the largest shopping malls in the country/world - it features a Nickelodeon theme park full of rollercoasters and rides, a Legoland Store, over 500 retail stores, an underground aquarium, arcades, go karts, mini golf, VR experiences, escape rooms, a cinema, tons of places to eat, and even this one store that sells a ton of Scottish kilts!
As a point of trivia... Red fireplugs (or red-topped) produce 500 Gallons/minute; Yellow 1000 GPM; Green 1500 GPM; blue > 1500 GPM. That way firefighters know to take the most powerful fireplugs first.
Starbucks is more of a Pacific Northwest thing. It got its start around Seattle, WA. Dunkin Donuts is big in the Northeast, especially New England. If you go to upstate NY or Canada, they have Tim Hortons as their main coffee chain.
I just wanted to let you know a few interesting things about the video. by the way I enjoy watching your videos. First fact - the little donut things are from Tim Hortons tim bits witch is a Canadian . In the states most people call them donut holes. 2 Corn dog's from the north eastern states like Boston the corn bread on the outside is way sweeter than the cornbread you get in the south eastern states like South Carolina. But like normal another great video and I will keep watching your videos thx and keep up the great work with your videos
Chris Land , Notation Tim Hortons is own & operated by Wendy's & "donut holes" been around 60+ years, most mom & pop Bakeries been making them before Tim Hortons & Duncan Donuts been in business!
Donut holes from a regular donut place, Timbits from Timmy Ho's and Munchins from Dunkin. Also, the corn dog breading isn't exactly regional, it's just whether or not they've used honey. I've had sweet and nonsweet kinds all over the place. Regardless, throw some yellow mustard on it and they're delicious 😉
Corn Dogs come in different sweetness levels, usually depending on region or brand. They are not marked for how sweet they are, it is just a difference in the batter ingredients.
the interesting thing about this, many Americans would absolutely love seeing Scotland and how paid back it is politely stated, how simply things are there, vs. America it is very difficult to slow things down here and be able to just take a moment to appreciate life, right where one stands, no matter where it may be. Granted, most Americans know that if we moved there to Scotland, it wouldn't be the same after about 5 years, as our nature to industrialize ever dang thing you touch, lol... Most Americans have no clue as to how much we have given up by by the ideas to speed things up, which just means that it allowed for more time to add to the list of crap that we feel we need to get done, and when we get done with that crap, we are even more, lol... Vs... Taking the time to smell the roses, so to speak... My lady turned me on to watching this video, as she got a kick out of it and knew I would as well.... Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, I did enjoy hearing about it, the corndog was funny.... Lol... Dru
So I think this is the first time I’ve seen your own channel after seeing you on Diane Jenning’s channel. Love your enthusiasm for what you saw in the US and your accent. I was Archie Beaton in Brigadoon once and did the best I could but we haven’t had many authentic Scottish accents to model from on TV - until now. The cheddar and ham melt sounds WONDERFUL. Have to get them to come to Chiberia (our pet name for Chicago from November-April (except when it’s suddenly 70° F on Christmas Or New Year’s Day)! It’s a city you should visit come summer because we have all the extremes, heat, cold, rain, snow, sometimes on the same day! Sometimes within the same hour. Commonly said “If you don’t like the weather in Chicago, wait a minute.” Our food is fantastic too. If you love the melted ham and cheese Sammy’s I would love to see your reaction to genuine Chicago deep dish pizza! Several kinds and our thin crust is the best too. But the real reason to come here is how amazing the architecture is for a place this new. Partly a result of the Chicago Fire of 1871, most of the architects in the US were drawn here and there are very few neighborhoods made all at once in the same style. You have to see it to understand it. Also, our lakeshore within the city is about 30 miles long and almost entirely open to the public. Done with commercial. Loved this video. Keep making more. There’s a 1950’s song called Tammy which is why we all pronounce it the same up way. I’m sure it’s on TH-cam. I’ll find a link if I think of it.
You were lucky Mosco, Dunkin' Doughnuts started in Massachusetts lol. If you had gone to the west coast all you would have seen was Starbucks. Sadly Dunkin's stops around Illinois.
jimbotheassclown that's like calling a North Atlantic lobster a Maine lobster. Technically the same creature but a Huge difference in the actual real life experience
jimbotheassclown, I hope that you understand that I'm not trying to insult Washington state. I say that to say this, I feel like you are attempting to insult Massachusetts. I am trying to not take it to much to heart because I'm sure that that is not what you are trying to do.
Not from Washington army brought me here so feel free to insult do not care place sucks. i just said Dunkin' Donuts was on the west coast too and yes they are grimmy.Don't know how that's insulting Massachusetts and the Massholes .lol
Come to Oklahoma! We have a different accent, beautiful plains, and in the Northeast corner Ozark Mountains! Plus rodeos with cowboys in tight wranglers, not skinny jeans, and boots!Lol 😁
Yep, I recommend starting at the Rockies (Glacier Natl Park for ex.) and driving to the Pacific near Seattle, then maybe down to N. California. Most beatiful area in the world imho.
I know this was almost a year ago, but I just stumbled onto your channel from a collab you did with Diane Jennings. If you return to America and haven't thought of it, you should come to Texas. Specifically Dallas and come in time for the Texas State Fair which starts on September 27th. The weather here won't be so hot, (only about 30 - 33C or so), and you can try a Fletcher's Corny Dog. As well as any of the fried specialties (one year was fried ice cream, another fried butter), and experience one of the tallest ferris wheels in America. In the evening, they have musical acts, and the mid-way is really fun. It lasts 24 days, so you can do a lot around here before it ends. Loved your tee in this vid!
In the U.S.A we are losing our regional accents for what is called Standard English. From what I hear it has to do with Companies wanting everyone to sound the same because its suppose to be good for business. Also TV and Films use Standard English. Mosco, you love read fire hydrants, I guess that would be like An American getting excited over police boxes and red phone booths in the U.K; which many Americans love and get excited over seeing. Love the video as always.
Were I live In Los Angeles California all the fire hydrants are yellow. in fact they are that color all over Southern California. In Los Angeles he have tall buildings, High rises, but in the past 10 to 20 years we have been going away from tall buildings to shorter fat buildings; with the same square feet as tall ones. The claim is the tall buildings block the skyline. Taxi cabs been going out in the USA due to Uber and other ride share companies.
Hey guys, I have a MUCH better background now I've moved home... A little more Scottish too so hit that subscribe button and join the clan!! 😘😘😘
Did you make it to the northwest?
Google Redwood Forest.
We put a two-lane road through a tree without damaging the tree.
background..never crossed my mind..u and shawn make me laugh..simple as that..
You should try to make it to the Pacific Northwest.
Loved your video!💕🤗 I'm happy you enjoyed your visit to the US. Perhaps you would like to visit south Florida in the future🌈
Lol I love it when foreigners fall in love with food we generally consider grab and go fast food or junk food. If you ever find yourself in and about florida or some of the historic places in Georgia such as Savanah, try some southern food, corn fritters, gator tail, southern barbeque in general. I know from another video that you love Disney world, if you havnt bre. I hope you get the chance
These days it's pleasant to hear someone from another country say nice things about America. You're charming.
Its because shes actually been here.
There are a lot of people from other countries who have nice things to say about America. However, you have to look other places than the news. ;)
Parker Allen You must not get out much.. I have been traveling all over Europe and Asia, and nearly everyone I meet says good things about America, and how they wish they could go there.
polifatts same here, I see negative comments and views about America more on line than face to face in my travels, I never had a problem , people were always very nice
@@mikeelmira yes, people talk about us like this is the worst place in the world - why do so many wish to emigrate to a country that is supposedly such a hellhole?
I'm American and I absolutely love Scottish and Irish accents
I still remember my lesson on how to master the Irish accent that I was taught in a pub in Dublin....tink, turd, tree, tanks...."I tink we're going on the turd of May. That's in tree days. Tanks a million!"
tommy daggett it’s annoying
Western Irish is the sweetest sounding English there is.
Aye right ah hear that a lot but then when I work with them they canny understand a fricken word ah say 🤣🤣🤣 ( Glaswegian in New Jersey )
Fellow Scot here and I can relate to so much of this. My “born in to America” place was Memphis last May (and I’m going back in 10 weeks), and I fell in love with it all. The southern hospitality is amazing, every single person was SO nice. The southern accent. And there’s so much history in Memphis, in terms of music history and civil rights etc. You feel it everywhere you go.
And the biggest hotel in downtown Memphis lets anyone go up to the roof and you can see all around the city for miles. We went up one night in the dark, and seeing the cityscape all around me, all the big buildings and the lights, I was awestruck and emotional and briefly never wanted to come home. So I exactly understand the feeling you mentioned. 🇺🇸🇺🇸
People in the South have alot of Scottish and Irish ancestors. They settled that area of the US in the 1700s and 1800s. The Southern accent is a spin off of the Celtic accents .
Yeah, Appalachia was basically all Scottish and Irish settlements initially. I would not be surprised at all by a Scot feeling at home there.
Elizabeth -- I've never been to Tennessee, but even so, you just made this U.S. native feel a surge of patriotism and love for my home. Thank you. 😊
Big Dream You would love Tennessee driving through Mt.Eagle, The Appalachians, or the Smokies is awesome. I'm a Georgia native and if I had to move to another state Tennessee would be that other state.
Elizabeth Love Memphis! Mississippi River, Graceland, Sun Records, Lorraine Motel (now the Civil Rights Museum) the duck walk through the Peabody Hotel, and the world's greatest BBQ! But a word of caution to visitors from across the pond: Please practice situational awareness. There are parts of the town where you do NOT want to be! If the doors and windows of the shops are covered with metal bars, find somewhere else to be immediately!😛
Manhole covers are round because that means they can't be dropped in. A square one can be dropped in if you turn it diagonally.
Round covers can also be rolled.
Also, it can be put back onto the manhole without having to position it perfectly. Spin it any way around and circle peg still fits a circle hole.
Yup.
Also because a tube is stronger than a square..
Square catch basin covers have hinges to prevent them from falling in.
It makes my heart warm to see someone post something positive about America for a change, thank you XD
So true - she's the Immigrant(s) we could use and welcome.
Hi, Mosco. I *love* your T-shirt! This quote says "the English", but it works for all of the UK.
"The difference between America and England is that Americans think 100 years is a long time, while the English think 100 miles is a long way." --Earle Hitchner
Mark OldGeezer love that
shlibber me too!
An interesting insight.
It depends on where you are in America as to the 100 miles part....I grant the accuracy of the first part, but here in Texas we tend to measure driving distance in time as much or more than in miles. :)
I agree with you, Doodles. I'll pass your advice on to Earle.
So nice to hear someone loving on America! I'm from Northern California and I LOVE the physical landscape-- mountains, huge redwood trees, massive granite cliffs, vast desserts, beautiful lakes, etc.
TheDenisedrake Preach! 3rd generation Californian and I love the landscapes of the western US.
Right! We live in a natural wonderland with fabulous weather. We just discovered the beauty of Death Valley. Have you been there?
I have. Just got back from 2 weeks in Las Vegas. The casinos are a spectacle in their own right but my wife and I mostly enjoy hiking in the mountains and desert surrounding the city.
TheDenisedrake omg the redwood forests are on my bucket list for sure! (I'm from Oklahoma)
NorCal represent here too!
You are so adorable I love the Scottish people don't ever change your always welcome in u.s.a
I am a Native American of the Blackfoot Nation in the Siksika Tribe, and grew up in the Coastal Mountains of Oregon. On the mountain I grew up on in the large Evergreen forests of the Pacific Northwest, my home overlooked the Pacific Ocean on one side, and I could see the Cascade Volcanoes and the Willamette Valley on the other. I am also a US Army Military Police Veteran, and fought alongside some brave Scotts in Afghanistan, Bosnia, and Kosovo [thanks for the tea guys...I actually still have a baggy saved from '96 as a keepsake yall gave me xxoo].
Since you seem to like American food, and didn't get to come out to one of our Native American Reservations or Powwows, I thought I'd share it with you, and you can make it in your home in Scotland for a little taste of 'Merica.
We Native's call it: Banana Boats. It's what yall would call a "dessert" or a "treat". You take a nice fresh banana [try NOT to use the banana's with the black spotted peels. Use those for banana bread] and cut carefully cut down the "J" part of the banana. On one side of the banana inside the peel, put pieces of your favorite chocolate candy bars [we use Hershey's but I don't recall seeing that in Scotland when I was there...use whatever chocolate candy bar kind of treat you want]. On the other side of the banana in the peel, place some marshmallows [if the tiny marshmallows are all you have then use them. if the giant marshmallows are all you have then break/cut it into smaller pieces to fit between the peel and the banana]. Now we usually have a HUGE bonfire at our Powwows where we place our banana boats close to the fire and allow the chocolate and the marshmallows to melt. You may not be able to have that or even live in a place to make one in Scotland unless you live in the Highlands or a farm. So using a microwave works too, just be careful to keep it on "low" as marshmallows and microwaves can be......sporty....lol. So keep an eye on it. You can also use a baking oven. Just keep it on low...like not above 250F...place your banana boats on a cookie/biscuit tray in the oven, just wait long enough for the chocolate and marshmallows to melt, and they will be ready to eat. Once the chocolate is melted [really depends on your microwave setting...could take 1 minute or as little as 30 seconds] the peel of the banana will serve as your bowel, and you can start eating your banana as soon as you like! You can also add whipped cream, cherries, and nuts to give it a "banana split" flavor.
Not everyone can afford to come to America, but maybe this will bring a little bit of America to yall across the pond from us Native Americans. Its nearly our Thanksgiving here, so Happy Thanksgiving to you Scotts, and my husband and I hope to make it out to your nation in the next few years. If you see a woman in her mid 40s wearing Native American regalia, yup....that will be me! Cant wait to visit my old friends from my military days, pay my respects to your fallen brave men and women who I served with, and enjoy your culture [and that of my husband....yup....I married me a Yankee mutt whose ancestors come from Scotland and Wales...a good "Southern" gent from Missouri who is as kind and strong as the men I served with from the "motherland" of Scotland]. I want to visit one last time before my time on earth is done. Anywhooooooo, nice video young lady [lass], and I hope you are able to make a nice career out of TH-cam and get to visit more of America, and the world.
I'Taamomohkatoyiiksistsikomi: Happy Holidays!
@@conkyvsricki4710 no shhhh. nothing to see here. move along now!
@Kevin Oloane are you drunk, high, or just born stupid? Do copy and paste where I said anywhere on international social media, MSM, magazine, newspaper, or book where I mentioned anything about who landed on the North/South American Continent first. BTW....in my tribe, we do do DNA testing, and not ONE of us have "Chinese" DNA in us. We do have Mongolian, Indonesian, and Japanese in us. You are making assumptions out your six as you troll and shill social media, vomiting up what THEORIES...NOT FACTS...that you have been force fed via propaganda and a pushed narrative. Its like saying we Natives are "savages" when our peoples lived thousands of years in relative peace, compared to the rest of the world, with no words for "liar" or "owner of land" in our languages until the peoples of Africa, Europe, and Asia came here after 1492. As for me being or not being "Native", do tell everyone who my parents, grandparents, Native Status, tribes that I have family in [not counting Blackfoot], where I was born, and so on. It should be easy since you claim I am not Native American. Though this young lady's not the platform for your behavior or shaq mobile's, its been nice watching you both behave the way you do....and yet Native Americans are still known in history to be the "savages". Keep up the propaganda, lies, trolling, and shillery there slick. Its been entertaining! lol
This is a beautiful post and I just have to thank you for it. Thank you, thank your tribes, thank you for caring for the land in the way it deserves. Bless you and yours!
@@misstimountaincop95b first of all I am full blooded Seneca native from the Iroquois nation and we do have Chinese in our blood we are Oriental in origin of all Asians so keep on talking s*** like you don't know what the hell you're talkin about Kevin is right... We have all Oriental countries in our blood here as natives of the Americas North and South
@@coyalyons6049 GREAT! You claim to be Seneca of the Iroquois! Maybe they can teach you how to read the American dialect someday! Kevin said "CHINESE" not "ORIENT or ASIA" slick! Do you know the difference? How many SOVEREIGN NATIONS make up the Orient in Asia? Do you know? Or were all you taught was "CHINA!" The post you made is as stupid as someone eating at a Japanese Restaurant and claiming they are eating Chinese. Its like someone hiring a Vietnamese or Korean employee and calling them a Chinaman. We have over 250 Federally Recognized Native American SEPERATE NATIONS in the USA alone, not counting the ones the USA/Canadian federal governments DONT recognize. I CLEARLY stated I am Blackfoot! NOT SENECA! The DNA in my veins and that of my tribe DIFFERS from you and your tribe, as it does all the other tribes! I studied forensic profiling and forensic geography in Pierce College, University of Winnipeg, and in Bonne University where I tested my own DNA, that of test subjects in my own tribe, and other test subjects. NONE of the people in my tribe had "CHINESE" DNA in us! We DID have OTHER Asian/European blood in us, WHICH I SAID IN MY POST. If it was too hard for you to read you might want to consider hiring a tutor for you and have them read it back to you.
How many SOVEREIGN NATIONS make up the CONTINENT OF ASIA? How many of THOSE are "Oriental"? Or is "CHINA" the only nation that your brain can think of? Your post is as stupid as someone eating at a Japanese Restaurant and saying its "Chinese". Its as stupid as someone hiring Vietnamese or Korean employees and saying they are "Chinamen". Have you even seen a globe, map, or atlas? Have you been to Asia? I have. I was stationed in Korea. And NONE of them are "CHINESE" although Chinese men come there to kidnap women because their socialist nation only allows them to have one child [a law recently amended to 2 children], and the females were executed.
Have YOU EVER took your own DNA, test subjects of your tribe/nation, and other test subjects of people with different epidermis and TESTED IT YOURSELF? I have. I already said what I found in our DNA, AND IT WASNT CHINESE! Tell me, is the nation I mentioned "ASIAN" or "FROM THE ORIENT" slick? If you dont know, do go to the library and get a map, hire a tutor, or even access it on the computer. That is your choice though to educate yourself, as I am not going to force you to take a vaccine of education to fight the "Stupid" virus, because I hate slavery in ALL its forms, unlike you as clearly evident in your foul mouth uneducated slavery post. You are just regurgitating FAKE INFORMATION pushed onto the world by Radical Socialist Liberals....that SAME idiots who called US SAVAGES while they burned women at the stake just for learning how to spell their name. [Sounds familiar to current Islam doesnt it]. Do explain the current DNA testing that went on in Mongolia with "blond" Mongolian test subjects WHO NEVER LEFT THEIR NATIONS that tested with high Mitochondrial DNA markers for Amazonian Tribal Blood. That must be the "Chinese" doing too huh? Where is Mongolia? Is it ALL a part of Asia? OR is it made up of a European nation/Continent as well? No one should be as ignorant as you and Kevin are about your own people with true information at your very fingertips! Suggestion: when reading "history" try RESEARCHING THE RESEARCHERS! WHO funded them. WHERE did they get their test subjects. HOW did they do their scientific methods to rule out contamination? WHAT was their PAID obligations to their sponsors/employers? DID they have a team of historians made up of multiple faiths, non-faiths, political parties, races, sex, and educated in different schools of thought? OR, were they ALL THE SAME, THINK THE SAME, TAUGHT IN THE SAME PLACE, SHARE THE SAME EXACT BELIEFS? How is THAT a true "diversity" of thought to conclude ANY form of real unbiased conclusions if they ALL are the same? So, if you CHOOSE to hire a tutor and re-read what I posted to where you can comprehend the basic American Dialect, maybe try again! Or, you can choose to suppress the freedom of thought, freedom of education, freedom of speech just like the same Radical Socialist Liberals from around the world suppressed our original Native Tongue...funny....did they do that to the Scotts and the Irish as well? The PUBLIC....regular folks...THINKING FOR THEMSELVES are what those "NWO/Elitist" are most scared of. As long as you believe their lies, propaganda, projection, and are good little slaves, you allow them to be in complete control of you, your future, and allow them to even rewrite your past inaccurately. DNA has proven their lies wrong, just like Technology as proven the MSM to be FAKE NEWS. Before you go all "REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE" on me, no, Im not a Republican at all, nor have I ever been. A good hacker could show you my real name, and also bring up my voter Registration and prove Ive always been an Independent Voter. Why? I prefer to hear both sides to a story and THINK FOR MYSELF instead of have some major political party tell me how to think.
Radical Socialist Liberals: keeping slavery alive in the USA since 28 January 1828. Sad that Native Americans cheer for it.
Love that shirt!
One of the key things here is that you were able to experience Americans as individuals. I can remember growing up in the USA in the 80’s during the Cold War and all the animosity towards Russians. And I can also remember how exciting it was to meet an actual Russian during that time and how much it tickled me to find out we were both Beatles fans. It is truly a wonderful thing to meet with people and not governments.
What most people find amazing about America is the size. Once you are away from the east coast you can drive for six hours and cover hundreds of miles and the people have the same accent. In Europe if you drive hundreds of miles you have crossed several countries and multiple languages.
In Texas, it can take you up to 22 hours drive from one tip to the other.
God I get you, I miss America so much, I was there with Work & Travel and worked while in uni and then went back because my visa would have expired. I love theeeeeeemmmmm
Greets from Romania ❤️
We miss you sweetheart.
Wouldn't make any difference if
you just stayed. We got lots of visa jumpers here. The ICE is overwhelmed.
Come to Louisiana in April or May and try boiled crawfish (preferably boiled in Zatarain’s Shrimp and Crab Boil and sprinkled with Tony Chachere’s Original Creole Seasoning). The corn and potatoes boiled in with the crawfish are also delicious. The best way to have them is on a table spread with newspaper.
Also, if you like corn dogs, try corn bread fresh out of the oven with butter on top. Another Southern specialty is sweet (iced) tea. You probably didn’t see either of those items in Boston or New York.
Choir TcrMaloy yes we bake alot of cornbread here I think the food here in Louisiana is the best.😁
yes
Love some Cajun cuisine
That was exactly what I was thinking!
Laissez bon temps rouler!
Oh, the south and the food. I miss so much of it....low country boils, hush puppies, bbq, shrimp & grits, gumbo, pecan pie, key lime pie, I could go on and on.....
I love that you embrace being a tourist and being able to amazed at even small thing. So many people want to be cool and blend in but it's a wonderful thing to be able to be surprised.
Its impossible to be depressed when watching your videos. This enthusiasm is infectious.
As an American, I loved this video. I actually lived right outside of Boston for a year put am a Washingtonian. I love the fact that our fire hydrants made your list. During the 70’s there was a time they painted them to look like little revolutionary people. I watched this vid while drinking a Dunkin Donuts ice coffee. I have to admit I never thought our food was unique, and I just don’t like corn dogs.
Dory, where outside of Boston did you live? I lived in Chelsea when I was there in the 90's. I loved downtown Boston, but it seems so much different from when I was there. There is something missing, and I am not sure what it is. I still love the city, but something is missing.
I bet the corn dog you had had honey in the corn bread batter. Try your next one with yellow mustard. I love your videos because your energy is infectious 😊
Yellow mustard is mandatory! Corn dogs rule!
i spent a lot of time in northern scotland what you are talking about is called frenchs yellow american squeezee mustard in the grocery stores there
Hey Tammy... you've got to see the grand canyon in Arizona. It's awe inspiring. Been there twice. Takes your breath away everytime. 👍
tracy freeland I second that!! Along with antelope pass, devils tower, yellowstone, mt Rushmore, and stone mountain....and pretty much all of new Mexico.
tracy freeland I’m from Tucson and when I moved to Vegas I finally went to the Grand Canyon. Lol. It’s magical. I really love Sedona. I could retire there. ❤️
I rode a mule to the bottom of the Canyon, it was amazing!
Closet Extrovert, I backpacked it--3 times, plus twice into Havasu Canyon. Both Supai village and Phantom Ranch are amazing places in which to spend the night.
tracy freeland and Chenoa Clark, bingo on all of those. Visited'em all!
I'm American and totally agree about the awe-inspiring buildings. Boston has some impressive and creative architecture.
I love when everyone comes together on the 4th of July to celebrate the founding of our nation. I also love the many different cultures here and the wonderful landscape.
America misses you, too, Tammy!
I love the variety. You want big cities? Got 'em. Desert? Got those too. Mountains? Yup. Forests? You bet.
Don't forget the beaches. 😁🙂
We have all of those in Arizona. Phoenix, Sonoran Desert, San Francisco Peaks, expansive Ponderosa pine forests.
Fresh water beaches in the summer in michigan are glorious
@@9HighFlyer9 Lol Arizona is trash. I'd live in TX before I lived in Arizona again.
@@adventuresofpyro9020 that's cool. Try Vermont, sounds more your speed.
Wendy's, Donut Holes, Grilled Ham and Cheese. Yep, we take those things for granted for sure. Although, I will say down south we prefer Krispy Kreme over Dunkin anyday of the week. My part of North Carolina is heavy Scottish settled and we still have yearly Scottish games, etc. Enjoy your videos very much. :)
Weird, Being from lousiana it's more about dunkin doughnuts for me, But will always prefer the local doughnut places ^^
Charles Gray Krispy Kream rules!
SC here and HELL YEAH Krispy Kreme deep fried dough....you're making me hungry just thinking about it.
Ryan Lee Sacrilege! It's Dunkin Donuts dont'cha ya know! 😂😂😂
Agreed. In general, local places with one or just a few locations are almost always better than chain stores. Mr. Ronnie's in Houma for example.
5:46 I was dying laughing her expression about the grill cheese sandwich , I was LMAO 😅😂 😂
Darlin' you are soooooo cute!!!(saying that with a southern accent) Come to Kentucky, we'll treat you right!! ;)
Sounds very creepy especially with the winky face
@@shyryTsr2k nah, that just sounds like Kentucky
Thank you for being so excited about the U.S.! It is refreshing hearing all of the positive things you have to say about America. I think the thing I enjoy the most about living here is the variety. I'm from Ohio, so we get all four distinct seasons. Go south to Florida and you get tropical weather. Go out west and you get the vast, flat, Plains. Head down to the southwest and you get the desert. We have the beautiful Appalachian/Smokey Mountains here in the east and the giant Rocky Mountains out west. Really, whatever topography, climate, scenery, etc. you are looking for, you can find it somewhere in the U.S. If you make it back to the U.S., where do you plan on visiting next?
You should visit the south next! Great food and culture here. :) youll also find we are really down to earth slower paced and relaxed as well.
New Orleans
Even though I'm a northern yankee, you are correct. the South in the spring is stunningly beautiful
Come to Nashville, Tennessee! It's great fun here and we had 17.5 MILLION visitors last year!
Anywhere in nc is good lol best of everything beaches n mountains in the same state
georgia
You need to try Kryspy Kreme Donuts. You can watch them make them and they will give you a "FREE" donut straight off the line.
Vicky Farley we get krispy kremes in australia but ive never seen them get made :0
Yes! I love Krispy Kreme
I agree Kryspy Kemes are way better than Dunkin
best doughnuts on the planet! i'm partial though because they got their start not far from where i grew up
Nah you want Spudnuts
Watching you just makes me happy!!!
First-time viewer. This is GREAT. You are great. Got here from Diane Jennings. I feel like I have found gold. Thank you
If you love accents, you should head to the Southern states of the US... Especially Texas, Louisiana, etc... Oh- and Pennsylvania (where I grew up), and have a conversation with an Amish person.
pretty sure you would need an interpretor lol you are the most adorable personality I've ever seen
Maybe someday you will have an accent!
Come to North Georgia darling ;) ......lots of accents and Irish/Scottish bloodlines
"Oh- and Pennsylvania (where I grew up), and have a conversation with an Amish person."
They have Germans in Europe too ;)
man imagine them trying to understand a thick yinzer accent.
Did you remember to put some mustard on that corn dog? That's part of the experience, y'know.
Exactly. Corn dogs are just a mustard delivery system.
I live in America and yes, I love your accent! I was fortunate enough to visit England and
Scotland in 2014. Of course you're right about how "young" we are. Especially seeing the castles in London and Edinburgh. We loved the train system in Edinburgh. So easy to get around. Very easy to walk from place to place. Unlike in the US where places are so far apart that we drive everywhere. I enjoyed hearing the bagpipes being played. I know it's a tourist thing, but we had to get our photos taken with the guy playing them (we tipped him well) LOL I also really like the various tartans by family. Really beautiful cashmere, too! I would like to come back. I was surprised we didn't see more Highland cows (the hairy ones) when we were driving in the Highlands. But, our stop at the Dewar's distillery made up for it. Hahaha. Love your videos!
So nice to hear you are expanding your horizons by exploring the world a bit. Glad you chose the USA to explore. Over the course of a lifetime I still havn't seen the entire USA, but I can tell you this... Every place you go in this huge country is going to claim the best food of some type. And in their own way, they will be right. Because so many different cultures went into building this nation, there is a huge variety of different types of food and ways to prepare it. I don't think you could possibly realize how large this country is without at least one or two serious road trips. If you get the chance, take a trip all the way down the East coast, or be even more daring and do a full cross country trip. Just plan to be on the road a while. Once you hit the midwest their are huge ranches and farms that seem to go on forever. You can drive a whole day at highway speed and still be on the same piece of property. The scale is beyond description without having experienced it. The wide open plains, the towering mountains, the awe that is the Grand Canyon or the majesty of Yosemite. We call these national parks. Europeans would thing each of them to be a nation unto themselves. They really are that large. Imagine a field of grass that is large enough to hold a million bison thundering as one heard for so far that you can't see the end of it. Then imagine a forest of old growth trees that are as high and higher than any of those buildings you saw in Boston.
What you saw is such a tiny part of the USA that you just don't realize how much you didn't see. Be sure to come back and see a whole lot more. We love people with your spirit! It's what made this the nation that it is.
Kevin Aylward Well said! You brought a tears to my eyes❤️️
You are right about the size of the country being difficult to grasp. I was in Germany a few years ago with my child's class trip and one of the teachers from Germany was talking about his trip to California. I said that I too would like to visit California some day, and he seemed so surprised that being from the US, I hadn't been. I'm from Wisconsin...that's a big road trip 🚕🇺🇸
Awesome! you are very kind & enthusiastic. I'm happy you enjoyed your visit to the US!
I Absolutely love your shirt
... P.s No politics please... cheers! x'D
On behalf of those of us Americans who are sick and tired of politics by now... thank you!
WeeScottishLass Can we send you fan mail?
POLITICS SUCK
as an american all i can say is at this point i require copious amounts of alcohol to prepare oneself for political talk,perhaps an all night drink filled bender should suffice hmm yes?
Sorry but America IS politics, the only ones who don't want to talk about it are the loser Marxists, sorry.
Now you need to visit Wyoming, Montana and Colorado
Marge O'Connor and Michigan!
And Utah. If you know where to go, it's quite the beautiful state, especially the more deserty areas.
AshTheOne Are you crazy? Obviously you've never been in any of the National Parks, or seen a rodeo, or visited Jackson Hole. It's the West, the true West of this nation, magnificent and wild and quirky as hell.
too many Republicans...
I’m American and I still have not gone to any of those states. I have only been all over the east coast, because of family.
I have close family friends from Scotland who I’ve known since I was just a kid in 1984. Our families have done many trips together both in the states and the U.K., gone to each other’s weddings, and many other things. It’s always interesting to me how much we as Americans love so many things in Scotland, that are either the exact things that are Scottish friends are tired of, or are just very commonplace, while with our Scottish friends it’s almost the exact opposite for them with things in the states. Much like you describe about fire hydrants or sewer covers. For example, my female Scottish friend loves NASCAR, Ray Ban sunglasses, and Budweiser. While there are a lot of Americans who are into those things, many Americans stick their noses up at those things. Or as Americans we love seeing round red post boxes around Britain, or black cabs in London. But for Brits it’s a very normal or boring thing that they may be tired of.
Watching your videos puts the biggest smile on my face! Thank you :)
I have to say, you are just adorable! You seem like a person anyone anywhere would be lucky to have as their friend :)
Glad you enjoyed your time in America! Hope you can come back soon and see more of the wonderful sights! Beautiful beaches in the Carolinas and Florida! Each region is a world all it's own! I know I can't wait to visit Scotland!
Details for becoming my lad or lass of the week can be found in the video description =D But don't forget to let me know all the things you like / want to see in America!
Im from maine which is 90 minutes drive north of boston and im coverd in 2 feet of snow rn and getting 10 more inches tomorrow😂
FWIW: I live in North Carolina now, but I was born and raised in St. Petersburg, Florida.
My idea of a "White Christmas" was GOING TO THE BEACH. It would be too cold to swim - only the Canadians & New Yorkers would be in the water {LOL}, but it was STILL wonderful to go there....
EDIT: Some commenters have mentioned the seasons in parts of the USA. Florida has two:
*(1) HURICANE SEASON.*
*(2) WAITING FOR HURRICANE SEASON*
;~)°
I know I can’t wait until I can get back to Scotland and it sounds like you feel the same about America. Now we Americans don’t have the history you all do but, we DO have pride. I’m a 6th generation Texas and I’d love for you to come visit the folks I personally feel y’all are closest to... in our thoughts anyway. I love you to try our BBQ. Round Rock Donuts (best in the world) and anything else you’d like to try! I love your enthusiasm and excitement. Give us a holler if you’re coming back to the states and maybe we can get on down to Texas.... Austin, Texas to be more precise. I think you’d love our funky little town. All our music (Austin, the music Capital of the world!) art and food.
WeeScottishLass come see Utah and Arizona, specifically Zion National Park and Grand Canyon
I am originally from a farm town in New York, named Homer, but I now live in North Carolina. One of the best things that you can get in New York would be their Pizza.
Best t-shirt ever!
Tammy, if you wanna see a beautiful skyline, you gotta come to Chicago. Plus, we have awesome food..........deep-dish pizza, Chicago-style hot dogs, Italian Beef, etc..
Drive an hour north when you're done. Have a look around. Then keep going. Stop for fresh (squeaky!!) cheese curds on your way up to the Dells, Green Bay, Door County, or the Apostle Islands. Go even further north to the U.P. (Michigan) or west to Minnesota (hello Mall of America!)
I live in DC and how I would kill for a Chicago style hot dog right now. Best hot dogs hands down.
Geoffrey Voigts sorry NYC is just better except for the hot dogs.
Geoffrey Voigts Yes! Chicago style hot dogs rule! I saw a video of Street food in Mexico, and they put ketchup on their hot dogs! I nearly burst into tears-so wrong!
Not to mention little Italy, little Mexico 😁
I love your enthusiasm for America. ;)
I've lived my whole life on the west coast (Oregon and California) and there's a lot to see here - the Redwoods on the north coast of California, Crater Lake in Oregon, Yosemite - just to name some of the "big" things. I live in what I call the "Greater Los Angeles Metro Sprawl" (the GLAMS ;) and while there are annoyances like with any big city, there's amazing things about it; at a certain time of the year, it's entirely possible to go snow skiing in the morning and surfing later in the day. I know the best place to get a clear view of the "HOLLYWOOD" sign without a lot of buildings in the way.
Very California thing, referring to time rather than distance. I'm from San Diego. Do that all the time!
Well, when it comes down to getting to an appointment or some other scheduled event on time - how long the trip typically takes at that time of day in our sometimes wild traffic is far more relevant than the actual distance. ;)
"Oh, its about 5 minutes down Blank Boulevard, take a right down Something Street, and drive until you see the Starbucks, it should be on the right side."
Yep. That's me.
Born and raised in So Cal, I've lived in So Central Missouri for nearly 30 years now and still use the time for road trips!
Natives always look at me strangely!
California isn't the only place to do that lol I've been to over 30 states so I speak from experience.
The heat? You should visit us in the Midwest. Here in Kansas City we get up to over 100 in the summer (40C +) with 100% humidity. Sometimes it does not get below 90 (32C) at night. Then in winter we can be -10 (-20C) and snow or ice. Heck, last week we had a day that started out at almost 60(15C) and the temp dropped all day and between noon and 5 pm we had periods of total sunlight and blue skies followed by 10 - 20 minutes total white out blizzard conditions and then sun and clear again (that repeated several times that afternoon) with the temp at 24 (-4C)...then it rained that night . As we like to say, don't like the weather here? Wait 10 minutes...it'll change. If you get further south (Oklahoma, Texas, Louisiana) the heat is even worse, but the winters start to moderate. Up north of us they get much colder/snowier winters but the heat is not as bad.
Agreed we have crazy weather here in Kansas Friday it was 75F and this evening, Saturday, we are getting flurries of snow with a low predicted of 27F. Tomorrows high is suppose to be 37F come Tuesday it is predicted to be in the 70's.
I suppose Kansas City is Midwest...although the accent says South...but yes!!!
Awwwwwww. You make me appreciate being born and raised in the USA. 💙
"look!!! A circular manhole cover!!!" Ha ha ha. That had me laughing. You're funny. But i totally get the idea of the yellow cab thing. We americans probably do the same thing when we go to London and see red double decker buses.
I lived in San Francisco and you'd probably get a kick out the Cable Cars cause they are real and in movies and two of them are still commuter cars.
28 degrees? lol Yeah in LA that's just a regular day. It got 46 degrees last summer. it was riduculously hot. Scary and dangerous hot.
Tammeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
Have you thought of visiting Nashville, Tennessee? Music, food, heat. There is a club for every musical taste.
Then there is barbecue...... A very, very serious business in the South. Tomato base, mustard base, honey sweetened, fiery habanero, smoked.
I want to visit EVERYWHERE in America.... EVERYWHERE!!!!! Including Tennessee!!!!!! =DD
Then I have to recommend Salt Lake City, Utah or Denver, Colorado.
Part of that is that either is a largish American city with 2 million for SLC or 4 million for Denver.
Both are backed right up against beautiful mountains with great touristy drives. If you're willing to sit in a xar for 8-10 hours than several of the largest and best of the U.S. National Parks are available.
Both have loads for restaurants that are American and loads of international options too.
Either has great Universities so maybe a student visa and stay a while?
WeeScottishLass, we would love for you to visit Tennessee!! I live about an hour and a half south of Nashville, myself, but would love to meet up with you if you ever come there to visit! The food is AMAZING, and the South is pretty different culturally than Boston or NYC. You would definitely get a kick out of our accent.
Yes come visit Nashville! When you come...you gotta visit the Grand Ole Opry.....just to say you did.
Nashville Predators hockey!
Root beer and beef jerky, my 2 all time favourite things about America.
Cairns Chaos Brought some Beef jerky to Scotland and shared it with my Scots friends there ~ they never had it before ~ had to teach then how to eat it and not pull on it like they see in the cowboy movies, you break a piece off and then you eat it, otherwise you'll pull out your teeth! They loved it. Also brought some pecans with me and gave some and holy cow, they've never had it before 😢.
Try the South next time. The accents are diverse and the land is amazing as well.
I love the way you abbreviate or condense America. And say it with such enthusiasm. "'MERICA!"
I love hearing compliments about my country from foreigners. I'll be honest, I love the Scots and Irish! I don't know much about Wales but would love to know more, or speak to someone from there. My personal experience with England hasn't been a good one unfortunately. My freshly London moved neighbors complained about EVERYTHING in an apartment I used to live in. They were constantly insulting every native person bc they "missed home". I hope to find someone from England one day that isn't so judgemental. I have friends from Australia and New Zealand who are amazing! Yes, I think life is better when we can all just accept culture differences and keep out politics.. haha!
You may like florida weather.
You drive down the road.
It dark and storming.
Go under a bridge.
When you come out the otherside its hot, bright and sunny.
Like you timewarped into another world.
Come to Houston, Texas in March! The temps aren’t too hot & the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo is happening! I have a lovely spare bedroom in my home, 3 blocks from the train.
I think the food at the Rodeo will blow your mind!
The next time you visit America , come Down South . I'd reccomend flying into Atlanta Georgia . You can get your big city fix and then get out into the countryside . The South is like a different country than the rest of the USA .
Soooo true! I love the south 💕
@@garlandthompson5970 Maybe its because there are more Scott's an Irish descendants in the south than there is in the whole of Ireland and Scotland together..........
I would go so far as to say that the South is as different from the NY/Boston area as Scotland is from England.
@@tomcat8316 I think you mean the Scots-Irish who outnumber both the Scots and the Irish down south. They're still ethnically Scottish though. Oirish Irish are still mostly North East Coast.
@@sparc77 Definetely comparable at the very lest. Scotland is more centre left then England, so there's a North South divide. However your size definetily adds more, especially when it comes to cuisine and outlook. The UK still has more accents/linguistic variation though, you can travel 30km in the UK and the accent and colloquial speech feels like its moved 300 miles. Of course there's exceptions to the rule like the Pen-Dutch and some other German and French speaking enclaves in the States who are in their own bubble.
I'm not at all surprised at your feeling of awe at the Boston skyline. I went to college there and still am in awe of the beauty of Boston's skyline with the beautiful Hancock building standing out in all it's glassy splendor! It's an incredible sight to behold.
I am American and I love it that I can spend time chatting with strangers wherever I am in the US. We say “hello”, comment about food or scenery or weather, and spend a couple of minutes or an hour visiting with almost anyone. Say “hello” to strangers in some other parts of the world and get a cold, blank stare in return. A smile and a friendly hello can make a difference in one’s day.
im from america-would love to show you around new hampshire especially in the fall-or sudbury massachussettes to see the wayside inn!!!
Its funny to see the different perspectives. You'll have to visit other areas of the U.S., many different cultures.
I love that you showed Tim Hortons😀. Tim Hortons ( we call it Timmy’s) is from Canada and is now starting to pop up in the USA
Jody aka Yodelin Joda We have had Tim Horton's for decades where I live in NY. They're definitely not new to the area at all, lol. They DO have the BEST coffee and we call them Timmy Ho's.
No Tim Hortons in SoCal.
Kevin P Very true! And that is a bummer
I think i fell in love when she told that grilled cheese story
1) you are adorable!
2) please come back for a long long holiday, and make arrangements to really explore more of the USA.
The Appalachian Mountains, especially in North Carolina, are SO beautiful. Our Appalachian Range will remind you of Scotland in some ways... why? Because they ARE part of the same range in Scotland (it was all one range of mountains before the continents split apart!) The “cultural region” known as Appalachia (from basically Kentucky down to Georgia) was heavily settled by the Scottish, Irish, and Scots-Irish.
Boston and NYC have their charms,but there is SO much more to see and experience. Please come back! 😊
Come to Utah! I'll show you some of the most amazing natural land formations in the world;)
Utah is GORGEOUS!
I was just in Utah, never knew how incredible it is there. Gorgeous. I’m from NYC, I just never knew.
So many people don't realize the hidden treasures here in Utah. 5 of the most popular and beautiful National Parks and some truly epic scenery. Climates ranging from desert to high mountain tundra, snow capped peaks.
too many Republicans....
POLARBEARSRUS: did she NOT say "no politics"?!...
Call Boston's a good choice it is twice as old as the Republic. So much culture in the attitudes that began this Republic are still there. The sarcasm and the rebellious nature is what it took to get the job done. I hope you had a great time you deserve a full tour of all the hot spots in America. Just here in California a prison could spend a lifetime in California alone I've been in 46 of the lower 48, that is something that can never be taken away.
I'm partial to Boston being a New Englander, but I've been around the country. No place in the US is more aware of its place in American history than Boston. Philly comes close, but Boston revels in it. There are certainly lots of sights of various kinds to see, but I think for any tourist, especially one from a northern or wet climate, my number one suggestion for natural, awe-inspiring beauty to see is the Grand Canyon. It's one thing to see it in pictures, and quite another to stand at the edge.
I'm from America... but I miss the civility...and respect we used to have for one another, even when we disagreed
I love your enthusiasm for all of the small and tall things you saw. I have lived near Boston all my life and sometimes seeing the skyline makes me proud to know I have at least a small part in it. It sounds like you felt part of it too.
Your excitement over "small things" is so cute and charming. :) Loved it! Also really appreciated the fact that you recognize how diverse America is and that you only got to see part of it. As an American, I love it when people respect what a variety we have here.....so thanks. :) Hope you get to come visit us many times!
It’s so strange to hear about our skyline like this when all we want is to go to Scotland to see nothing around for miles. So peaceful.
I totally agree. I cannot WAIT for my first trip to the UK and see all the charming non-skyscraper stuff. For example, if I were driving down a country lane and saw a cute, crumbling stone wall with a meadow and sheep grazing, I would slam on the brakes and just gawk. I would be beside myself seeing the Cotswold villages, Scottish castles, and the like. And here's my stupid equivalent to her fire hydrants and manhole covers: fancy, wrought iron door hinges on huge oak doors...LOL! Like the kind on little fairy house doors, except bigger ones on real buildings. I'd be like, "OMG, they're real!" All I want to do is walk into a Thomas Kinkaid painting and ditch the skyscrapers!
@@Mustangmom2k Since I posted my comment 6 months ago, I realized if I didn't just book the trip I would probably never get to see exactly what you mentioned in your reply. So I jumped onto the internet and booked the trip. I was supposed to depart the end of April but then the virus put this on an immediate hault. I now have my trip planned for next year around end of March. I guess this gives me more time to dream about all the simple things instead of....buildings.
Have to try eating at a Black Bear Diner if you ever get out to the Western half of the U.S.
You should. Don't eat for two days to be sure you will finish your plate.
The finest thing to see in America is our National Parks. That would be the finest trip you might make to the U.S.A. Grand Canyon, Yosemite, Yellowstone, Grand Tetons, Zion, Rocky Mountain, Great Basin, Moab, Arches, Great Mesa, Gettysburg, Great Smoky Mountains, and about 10,000 more I will be in trouble for not naming.
Totally agreed - Black Bear Diner is one of my favorite restaurant franchises!
And I'll throw in something near Las Vegas - that one can actually drive or walk across the top of Hoover Dam, and look out over Lake Mead on one side and the river gorge on the other! (And since through traffic was moved to a 4-lane bridge some years ago, it's JUST tourists/sightseers, so much safer to do so than it used to be!)
I love your passion. you are adorable. Next time try Philadelphia or Upstate New York(Rochester, Buffalo)
red serpent lol calling Rochester and buffalo upstate.
that is what WE call it. Outside of the city off NY/Metro area. Ignorance is OK, Bigotry is another thing.
I'm not sure about ignorance or bigotry in my comment. Neither Rochester or buffalo are upstate, regardless of what YOU call them. I am from upstate ny....north of the adk park. Maybe you are the one being ignorant thinking north of NYC is "upstate"
then clearly your comment is a troll [I'm not sure about ignorance or bigotry in my comment.] May you have a beautiful life.
So you relieve me of my so called ignorance, accuse me of being bigoted because buffalo is western NY and Rochester is central NY not upstate and now I'm a troll. Ya ok lol
I am from Denmark, and I adore Scotland and the Scottish people. You are beautiful, and your accent is soothing and makes me smile.
As an American it’s sweet to hear something nice about my country. Thank you for being uplifting... the world needs more of that and you’re pushing our positive energy.
Holy sh*t....you and Lindsey Stirling, two of my favs
Same here.
You said, "The heat" and then said 28°C. 🤣🤣
I live in Vegas. It gets to about 45°C here. Every. Single. Summer.
Went to Vegas in winter once. I was sweaty cuz back home it was cold and snowy.
darkdudironaji - That’s because you reside on the surface of the sun! Good God Man! I’m from Florida and much rather be here than Vegas
darkdudironaji
This summer has had so many 100+ days, my 2 digit car thermometer has given up and switched to celeus!😥
The manhole covers in Scotland are _square?_ Do they ever get dropped down the manhole? Because, I'm told, that's the reason we make ours _round._
No... otherwise I'm sure they'd have changed them. The same way yours stay up is the same way ours do too, the tops overlap some of the concrete under keeping them in place.
Right, but a square cover could be turned and dropped edge-first down the hole on the diagonal; there's no way to do that with a round manhole and cover.
+shlibber Even better to make it *impossible* to do - either by idiot "pranksters" or butter-fingered city workers.
More expensive, more prone to failure. Why the resistance to taking advantage of a simple fact of geometry?
Here in Florida there is no season change its always " hot " winter is like 13 days speraticlly placed over 2.5 months never visit between June - August it gets ridiculously hot
I’m from Minnesota, where we have one of the largest shopping malls in the country/world - it features a Nickelodeon theme park full of rollercoasters and rides, a Legoland Store, over 500 retail stores, an underground aquarium, arcades, go karts, mini golf, VR experiences, escape rooms, a cinema, tons of places to eat, and even this one store that sells a ton of Scottish kilts!
As a point of trivia... Red fireplugs (or red-topped) produce 500 Gallons/minute; Yellow 1000 GPM; Green 1500 GPM; blue > 1500 GPM. That way firefighters know to take the most powerful fireplugs first.
Starbucks is more of a Pacific Northwest thing. It got its start around Seattle, WA. Dunkin Donuts is big in the Northeast, especially New England. If you go to upstate NY or Canada, they have Tim Hortons as their main coffee chain.
fakecubed yes
Dont forget Dutch Bros which started in Grant's Pass, Oregon, and is slowly dominating Starbucks territory over the PNW (Pacific Northwest)
I just wanted to let you know a few interesting things about the video. by the way I enjoy watching your videos.
First fact - the little donut things are from Tim Hortons tim bits witch is a Canadian . In the states most people call them donut holes.
2 Corn dog's from the north eastern states like Boston the corn bread on the outside is way sweeter than the cornbread you get in the south eastern states like South Carolina.
But like normal another great video and I will keep watching your videos thx and keep up the great work with your videos
Chris Land , Notation Tim Hortons is own & operated by Wendy's & "donut holes" been around 60+ years, most mom & pop Bakeries been making them before Tim Hortons & Duncan Donuts been in business!
Donut holes from a regular donut place, Timbits from Timmy Ho's and Munchins from Dunkin. Also, the corn dog breading isn't exactly regional, it's just whether or not they've used honey. I've had sweet and nonsweet kinds all over the place. Regardless, throw some yellow mustard on it and they're delicious 😉
Hope you get to visit Oregon some day. I think you will like it.
Corn Dogs come in different sweetness levels, usually depending on region or brand. They are not marked for how sweet they are, it is just a difference in the batter ingredients.
Come to New Orleans in August and let’s see if you miss the heat lol
Favorite thing about good ole USA, Texas.
the interesting thing about this, many Americans would absolutely love seeing Scotland and how paid back it is politely stated, how simply things are there, vs. America it is very difficult to slow things down here and be able to just take a moment to appreciate life, right where one stands, no matter where it may be. Granted, most Americans know that if we moved there to Scotland, it wouldn't be the same after about 5 years, as our nature to industrialize ever dang thing you touch, lol... Most Americans have no clue as to how much we have given up by by the ideas to speed things up, which just means that it allowed for more time to add to the list of crap that we feel we need to get done, and when we get done with that crap, we are even more, lol... Vs... Taking the time to smell the roses, so to speak... My lady turned me on to watching this video, as she got a kick out of it and knew I would as well.... Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, I did enjoy hearing about it, the corndog was funny.... Lol... Dru
So I think this is the first time I’ve seen your own channel after seeing you on Diane Jenning’s channel. Love your enthusiasm for what you saw in the US and your accent. I was Archie Beaton in Brigadoon once and did the best I could but we haven’t had many authentic Scottish accents to model from on TV - until now.
The cheddar and ham melt sounds WONDERFUL. Have to get them to come to Chiberia (our pet name for Chicago from November-April (except when it’s suddenly 70° F on Christmas Or New Year’s Day)! It’s a city you should visit come summer because we have all the extremes, heat, cold, rain, snow, sometimes on the same day! Sometimes within the same hour. Commonly said “If you don’t like the weather in Chicago, wait a minute.”
Our food is fantastic too. If you love the melted ham and cheese Sammy’s I would love to see your reaction to genuine Chicago deep dish pizza! Several kinds and our thin crust is the best too.
But the real reason to come here is how amazing the architecture is for a place this new. Partly a result of the Chicago Fire of 1871, most of the architects in the US were drawn here and there are very few neighborhoods made all at once in the same style. You have to see it to understand it. Also, our lakeshore within the city is about 30 miles long and almost entirely open to the public.
Done with commercial.
Loved this video. Keep making more. There’s a 1950’s song called Tammy which is why we all pronounce it the same up way. I’m sure it’s on TH-cam. I’ll find a link if I think of it.
Absolutely loved your excitement about your trip to America! Bless you and thank you for sharing! Cheers from Manhattan, Kansas, USA!
Also adore your accent!
You were lucky Mosco, Dunkin' Doughnuts started in Massachusetts lol. If you had gone to the west coast all you would have seen was Starbucks. Sadly Dunkin's stops around Illinois.
No it doesn't stop at illlinois got one down the street here in tacoma Washington.They are just grimmy like a waffle house.lol
jimbotheassclown that's like calling a North Atlantic lobster a Maine lobster. Technically the same creature but a Huge difference in the actual real life experience
So a grimmy Dunkin' Donuts in Washington is different from a grimmy east coast one lol? Ok i guess less roaches in Washington .
jimbotheassclown, I hope that you understand that I'm not trying to insult Washington state. I say that to say this, I feel like you are attempting to insult Massachusetts. I am trying to not take it to much to heart because I'm sure that that is not what you are trying to do.
Not from Washington army brought me here so feel free to insult do not care place sucks. i just said Dunkin' Donuts was on the west coast too and yes they are grimmy.Don't know how that's insulting Massachusetts and the Massholes .lol
Come to Oklahoma! We have a different accent, beautiful plains, and in the Northeast corner Ozark Mountains! Plus rodeos with cowboys in tight wranglers, not skinny jeans, and boots!Lol 😁
Rebecca Scott I am in the penal colony of Grove :)
Brad Campbell I am very close to you!!!
Rebecca Scott awesome !
Brad Campbell if you are on Delco info page or the Delco info adults only page I probably have argued with you LOL
Brad Campbell it is really cool that we watch her and we're from the same area. She's pretty awesome!
It's hard not to love the Pacific Northwest region.
Yep, I recommend starting at the Rockies (Glacier Natl Park for ex.) and driving to the Pacific near Seattle, then maybe down to N. California. Most beatiful area in the world imho.

Stepped on a banana slug by accident! NEVER going to the NW again.😝
I know this was almost a year ago, but I just stumbled onto your channel from a collab you did with Diane Jennings. If you return to America and haven't thought of it, you should come to Texas. Specifically Dallas and come in time for the Texas State Fair which starts on September 27th. The weather here won't be so hot, (only about 30 - 33C or so), and you can try a Fletcher's Corny Dog. As well as any of the fried specialties (one year was fried ice cream, another fried butter), and experience one of the tallest ferris wheels in America. In the evening, they have musical acts, and the mid-way is really fun. It lasts 24 days, so you can do a lot around here before it ends. Loved your tee in this vid!
I agree!
I highly highly recommend visiting the NW ( especially Washington... the state) I think you would love the food
the best doughnuts are in the south at krispy kreme.
True, but for the full experience, you gotta go get them off the line. Not out of those boxes they put in the grocery store.
Krispy Kreme aren't only in the south.
No the best doughnuts are on the top of pikes peak
Try Montana sometime!
In the U.S.A we are losing our regional accents for what is called Standard English. From what I hear it has to do with Companies wanting everyone to sound the same because its suppose to be good for business. Also TV and Films use Standard English. Mosco, you love read fire hydrants, I guess that would be like An American getting excited over police boxes and red phone booths in the U.K; which many Americans love and get excited over seeing. Love the video as always.
Were I live In Los Angeles California all the fire hydrants are yellow. in fact they are that color all over Southern California. In Los Angeles he have tall buildings, High rises, but in the past 10 to 20 years we have been going away from tall buildings to shorter fat buildings; with the same square feet as tall ones. The claim is the tall buildings block the skyline. Taxi cabs been going out in the USA due to Uber and other ride share companies.
Where I live in South Carolina our hydrants are green and yellow (the school colors of the only high school in town)
RebeccaSouthCarolina Awesome, I knew Southern California wasn't the only place in the USA to not have red hydrants.
There aren't many police boxes and red phone booths in the UK...they are very rare.
I thought London still had the red Phone Both?
That shirt. Love it. As an American it warms my heart that we have some friends who like us across the pond.
I really enjoyed watching this video. Loved your spunk. My sister and her husband just got back from Scotland and they enjoyed your Country very much!
