US American REACTS - How I See the US After 5 Years

Hello friends!

Another reaction of how someone feels about the United States after living abroad for 5 years. This is a nice one with a unique storyline.

I hope you enjoy!

Americans live nervously on the edge because it is so easy to loose everything within a day once you loose your job.
We Europeans are much more relaxed because we have a safety net that gives you time to readjust, without loosing income, house, healthcare.

I didn`t saw your Videos for a while, nice to hear you are moving to Germany. Things we turn better. Greetings from Hamburg

[Thrillhouse]

I really hope you enjoy your time and stay in Germany, you will have to start to support the local football team, mingle with the locals and feel free from gun violence, police brutality, have access to health care, escape the drug crisis in the US and experience a far more peaceful, free country where you actually feel safe.

As an American that probably is used to driving distances, you will love moving to Germany when it comes to traveling around. The Netherlands, Belgium, France, Austria, Switserland, Italy, Poland heck even the UK are just a few hours driving away.

At least in Europe, there are beautiful places to see and visit . Good food and feeling of the safety . Nothing like this in the U.S. The so called " Park" once was relatively safe to visit is not safe anymore . The quality of food here 😂 I can write a dissertation. One thing want to say . No.matter how uneasy life can be in Europe, you are lucky you are there.

Great video! im originally from the us but moved to the uk when i was 23 when i moved to the uk. i would say generally people work between 35- 40 hrs a week here. i used to do sales and customer service over the phone for years, but a couple of years ago i decided i wasnt motivated or happy any more...i quit and started up my own garden and Landscaping business and so glad i did! i work around 15-20 hrs a week and make as much if not more than i used sitting behind a desk for 40 hrs. im very much behind the idea that everyone is much happier doing less hours and in turn a happy employee is a more productive one...lol if that makes sense 🤔🤷‍♂️

Breaks my heart - this man is spot on in everything he said. Heartbreaking.

As someone who has watched the US from the outside, I’ve lived in UK for 6 years and come from and once again live in Australia, and watching the US through the Trump era in bafflement, it’s very refreshing to hear an American (USA-ian) actually see and make… sense. I feel so sad to see how misinformed the US population is about their awful situation there while saying things like “only in America can you xyz” “only America has freedom” “American is the greatest nation in the world” it’s so completely untrue and frustrating to watch the people and the leaders all fooling themselves and each other into believing that and therefore not making life better for the people.

Well, there are places in Germany and elsewhere in Europe that don't have good public transport connections and you need a car for your weekly shopping, doctor's appointments, etc. So it all depends on where exactly you live.

If you're younger and need a car for your commute anyway, it doesn't bother you that much, but when you're older, a place with such poor facilities can cause real difficulties.
Yes, it is often possible to reach the next town by bike or on foot, but as you get older you get weaker and slower and it takes three times as long. It is also bad if the bus only runs three times a day.
When we bought our house decades ago, we also looked at properties in the nearby big city, but there was only one bus connection and it would have been too long to get to the nearest train station. Now we live outside of this big city, but are only a 15-minute walk from 2 train stations and various buses, shops and doctors.

[jolemire]

Very wise decision sir. You take care of your family. That's the most important.

[alansmith]

I knew you were intending to visit Germany later this year, but I didn't realise you were actually going to move here. Good Luck!

[alexandersteinmetz]

Wird zeit das DU Heim Kommst, Hombre:) Wir haben uns nie Live gesehen, aber ich bin echt dankbar, das Du wieder etwas Farbe bekommen hast und uns teilhaben lässt an Deinen Gedanken.And the devil Horns are so intriguing, together with the Seagreen Eyers:) and no, married happy, thx:)

Just like the Germans, me as a dutchie go to the store everyday, sometimes even twice, i get what i need per day and get fresh stuff per day.
If you buy for a week or month, you most likely also buy food that is less healthy since it has all these chemicals in there to keep it "fresh".

Most restrooms in Europe are free, at least the 25+ countries I have visited. It's often at train stations, malls etc where you need to pay, not gas stations etc. It's often the places where drug addicts roam you have to pay, to deter them from using toilets as needle rooms. I might be wrong and there are more places you have to pay, but that is my experience as a Norwegian travelling. In Norway it's exactly like that, free everywhere except big train stations and central locations in Oslo.

I don't need 50 different types of tolette paper. I'm just wiping my ass with that stuff.

It's more important to me to have 50 different types of good bread to choose from. Or on marketplace every weekend end to get fresh goods from the farmers here. (at the moment it's time for sparagels and strawberries) I also don't need a free cola or sprite, at the market, there I get every time so much cheese from the Dutch to try or fruit from the farmers to try Or fresh fish, crabs and smoked eel from the North Sea to try that I am always full after shopping and have to sit outside with a coffee and drink a coffee to digest. Even a trader from Belgium and France come here to sell their specialties, which of course you have to try first. you are almost forced to do so.

The other day I bought a piece of Bleu de Bresse from the Frenchman and didn't want to try anything else.When the merchant reproached me if I don't like French food. So I had to try a soft cheese, which of course comes from mild to strong. I then took the mild one. (The dealers already know how to seduce customers to buy something) 😄

And as far as nature is concerned. Sure, the USA has a lot of natural wonders to offer. But Europe is also a whole continent. No other continent in the world has so many different climate zones and different landscapes to offer in a relatively small area as Europe. You can ski in the high mountains in the morning and swim in the warm Mediterranean in Italy or France in the afternoon if you want. Europe has polar areas in the north and subtropical in the south.

39% of the area of the EU alone consists of forest. If you want to see whales, bears, sea lions and seals, wolves or eagles, bison or lynxes, etc., you don't have to go far. In addition, all EU countries can enter any area, whether privately owned or state-owned. In Germany, you can swim in any lake or river because the nature conservation laws are strict and no one is allowed to close off their private property or drive them away

I was at a job fair in my state. There was a woman in her 50's crying. She was sharply dressed and had a folder filled with her resumes. She was recently laid off after 25 years with a company, and lost her healthcare insurance. She was begging for a job so she could afford her medication. I hope she found a job.

When you get settle in Germany, don't miss to visit Sweden.... Especially the northern part.

[lbergen]

Great reaction Nate 👍👍. Watching these videos about the USA, it is clear for me that people have given up on change, bc they are stuck in a system which is not healthy. You want to step out and go to Germany, but that's not given for everybody. You are most welcome of course and I hope it will come soon for you and your family.🙂

Ten Countries in two weeks? For me that seems to be work, not a vacation 😎

About the car - and related things - most of us who do comparisons are urban dwellers - if you live in the country, it's more likely that things will be similar. I have a friend living in an old farmhouse about 1 hr from my home (Toronto) and she could say the exact same things as someone from Europe.
