These are some great insights! I hear you regarding the bad drivers. They are everywhere in Michigan where people will cut you off on a daily basis and will tailgate you even if you are going 10 MPH (16 km/h) over the speed limit. I don't really understand why that's a big thing here. While I do like the great service at restaurants here in the US, I always feel that servers come over too often to check in on you. They'll either ask how my food is either while I'm still waiting for it to cool down or when my mouth is full of food.
Wow, Jessica, such a good video! Great update in comparising USA to Europe! Always love those video's! 👍👍
I have lived in the US for 10 years and I always find the service to be extremely RUSHED, overbearing and annoying. The waitstaff come over to take drinks orders before you have settled down and had a chance to look at the menu. Then you have to rush to figure out what you want to order before they come back with your drinks. And then they keep coming back asking "how the food is" or "if we need anything" and I feel like I can't relax. And then the check shows up the moment you are done. There's no time to relax and enjoy the food.
Why can't they just come once 5 minutes after we have sat down, take our order, and then leave us alone until asked for?
Going back to LA during Xmas time and going to Costco was insane. Americans are just obsessed with buying stuff they don’t need.
Cars have definitely gotten bigger. Just today, I had my 6-yr-old stand in front of a parked GMC to show her why she can’t cross the street alone — she’s barely visible above the hood. And thank you for mentioning how anxiety-producing it is to walk through big parking lots!
Nice video!
All of these are spot on! The first time I went back to the US, I got so overwhelmed at Target I had to leave.
No matter how much I love nature, I'm kind of happy that we don't have bears in the Netherlands. I prefer our red squirrels.
