They Couldn't Believe American Neighborhoods Were Actually Like This !!
Added:Turn to my right. There's a plane on the driveway.
>> If you go around there, there is a runway.
>> Does anybody in the USA want to adopt me as soon as possible?
>> On the water.
>> 50 60 million for this.
>> Yes. Yes. It's the Hampton.
>> This little house cost $50 million.
>> Yes. Wouldn't you pay 50? I pay 60 for that house.
>> Is that a zoo?
>> What is this propella?
>> What? No. No. It's just a fan.
>> A fan? Yeah. That's so dangerous. What if one falls on top of you? This is the most shocking thing in the house. Watch this. There's one in the bathroom. You are asking to be electrocuted.
>> This is an American fridge and it's as big as my arms.
>> When most Europeans think of America, they imagine New York, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and the Hollywood sign. But the moment they leave those famous cities, everything changes. They discover neighborhoods filled with huge houses that look like mansions. Almost every home has a front lawn, a backyard, a driveway, and even a garage bigger than some European apartments. The streets are incredibly wide. There are hardly any apartment buildings, and sometimes you can drive for miles without seeing anyone walking. For many Europeans, it feels like they have stepped into a Hollywood movie. So, why are American neighborhoods built so differently? And what makes them feel completely different from almost anywhere in Europe? Let's find out. Before we begin, please consider subscribing to the channel.

>> Things in American houses that are different to European houses. Number one, the doors are humongous here. You know how in European houses you can put your towel on the door?
This is huge.
While we're on the subject of doors, every single door has a lock on it, which I personally love. Plugs have these buttons on them. I'm pretty sure this is off and on. So, for example, my hair dryer, if you didn't want to take out the plug, you can just press this button, which I don't really get because there's an on and off button on this hairdryer. But yeah, these are literally on every single thing here. So, that's definitely a difference. American houses have this thing.
It's not even a normal doors stopper.
It's literally this spring.
Accidentally tripping on this in the middle of the night will wake up your whole entire house. Okay, next. Every single house has a pantry. In England, we would just put all of this in our cupboards. Personally, I kind of like this. Every single fridge you see will have water, cubed ice, and crushed ice.
Like, that is so bougie. Every single sink has like a machine that grinds everything in the sink. Like, listen to this.
I don't know what the purpose is for that, but does anybody in the USA want to adopt me as soon as possible? Because look at the price of an American house versus a British house. This is an average house in England. 400,000, three bedrooms, semi- detached. Look at it.
It's nothing special. But then you have a look at the American houses for the same price. This is pretty much the exact same price. Look at it. Detached, four bedrooms, and look at the size of that. If that house was in the UK, it would be worth millions. So, why is it that Americans practically have palaces for houses? Every time I've seen an American on my for you page, they have got a mansion. They've got the stairs that, you know, take up the whole hallway. It's luxurious.
What are we doing in the UK? What are we doing? You can barely get a house here.
You have to live in a cardboard box for your first house. things in American households that are weird to British people. My British friends, let me know if you agree with these. Let's get into it. Okay, first up, light switches and power outlets inside the bathroom. So, in the UK, it's very common for the light switches for the bathroom to be on the wall outside the bathroom. And most bathrooms in the UK do not have a power outlet inside the bathroom at all, except for maybe just a small one for an electric razor. Having a power outlet inside the bathroom is extremely weird to British people because they worry about the close proximity of the power outlet to the water, which makes sense because as we all know, electricity and water do not mix. Now, speaking of the bathroom, having just one faucet for both hot water and cold water is also weird to British people because in the UK it's typical to have two separate taps, one for hot water and one for cold water. And I don't just mean two separate handles. I mean two separate taps. one that only dispenses hot water and one that only dispenses cold water.
It's not typical to have just one faucet that mixes both the hot and cold water like we have in American households.
Also having a completely separate room for laundry. So in the UK, most people have their washing machine in the kitchen. It's also not super common to have a tumble dryer in the UK because most people in the UK line dry their clothes. And it's not very common to have a top loading washing machine in the UK, which makes sense because you can't have a washing machine that loads from the top if it's underneath your kitchen counter. So, my British friends, what do you think? Do these seem weird to you? And what other things do you find weird about American homes? Let me know.
>> Now, something that we don't have in the UK is houses like this made of siding.
Now, siding is an alternative to brick.
It's it's weather resistant. It's pretty durable. It's cheaper than brick. Now, a lot of houses here have brick and generally if they have brick, they'll usually have siding around the back. But in England, my friend's house was built in 1360. The walls are like 3 ft thick.
That's not 1760, not 18, not 60, 1360.
Which means that by the time Henry VIII was on the throne in 1509, it was already relatively historical. Now, that is insane, isn't it?
>> German's first time in the USA.
>> So, your house is pretty nice, but I have a question. Is it true your VS are made out of paper? Uh, no. Are you sure it's only 10 cm wide? Well, the house is wood and the walls are made of drywall.
>> Yes, but if I would punch in V, it would make big hole, right?
>> Huge giant hole.
>> Exactly. And what is paper made out of?
>> Wood. Exactly. It's not a stereotype.
Made our paper. Wait, what is that? What is this cheese grater looking thing? Oh, that right there is a vent. Wait, is this a army radiator? Uh, yeah, sure.
That's where the heat and the air conditioning come out of.
>> Wow. That is some army engineering.
>> So, uh, would you like a tea? Yeah, I'll take a festish tea, Peach, please.
>> All right, one tea coming up.
Do I drink tea every day?
>> Are you vomiting my tea up in the microwave? Of >> course. That's the best way to do it.
All right, here you go.
Tastes great.
>> Look at all this space.
>> So much.
>> Do aerobics in here.
>> So many activities.
>> Do step class.
>> It's making my head spin. How many activities we can do? Play army.
>> This is how we do it.
>> Hi.
>> No, no, no. You're good. You can keep them on. That's fine. Are you sure?
>> Yeah. Yeah.
>> Okay. Do you want something?
>> Just some water.
>> Here you go.
>> Thank you.
>> Can I take a shower?
>> Yeah, sure.
>> Can you please come for a sec?
>> Don't you have a long shower?
>> Uh, no. What's that?
>> Oh, can I actually get your washer?
>> Yeah, absolutely.
>> Cool. Thank you. Where is it? Oh, I have a washer and a unit. Yeah, you have to go to the laundry.
>> Oh. Uh, let's go.
>> What should I do?
>> Did you take your quarters?
>> I have to pay it.
>> Yeah.
>> Wait, wait. Can you please grab trash?
>> Yeah, no problem. Where should I?
>> Outside. Just on the street.
>> Just put it to the street.
>> Yeah, just on the street.
Got it.
>> So, do you like it here?
>> Absolutely.
>> So, I'm a British person staying in an American house and I want to show you all the differences that I've noticed so far. Starting with the outside of the house. And first of all, there's this thing which I can only assume is some sort of air conditioning device. Now, of course, in the UK, if there's one thing we do not need, it's air conditioning.
It's cold enough. There is also this sort of dungeon trap door which I am too scared to even touch. Right. Okay. Let's go inside. Now, for some reason, all American houses have like two doors.
There's this see-through one and then the actual door. Another huge difference with American houses are these things.
Plug sockets. Yes, we do have them, but you guys have about 4 million. I think you could power a small army with the amount of plug sockets you have in a house in America. And speaking of plug sockets, this is the most shocking thing in the house. Watch this. There's one in the bathroom. You are asking to be electrocuted. Now, American houses have indoor access to the garage.
You can just access it from inside. In the UK, we have to go outside to go into the garage, which actually seems a little bit crazy. I'm currently stood in the kitchen. Notice anything missing?
They don't keep their tumble dryer and washing machine in the kitchen. They keep them separate in a whole different room. Now, when you think of air conditioning or heating, I always think it's in the walls or in the ceiling. Not in America. They blow hot and cold air out of the floor. Okay, two more things and then I promise I'm done. Their plugs look like this. Two thin ends and a chunky round one. In the UK, they look like this. So, basically, if you're from the UK, bring an adapter. And last but not least, most American houses are made of wood. So one strong gust of wind or a tiny little fire and it is quite literally game over.
>> Mansions on the water.
>> 50 60 million for this.
>> Yes. Yes. It's the Hampton.
>> This little house cost $50 million.
>> Yes. When you pay 50 mill for that house.
>> Is that a joke?
>> No. No. No. It's a They're beautiful homes. You're on the water.
>> Do you know how much money? How do you know what kind of house you could buy in in France or in Europe or this this little house? This looks like a house in Albania.
>> This is This is the Hamptons. It's on the water.
>> Not 50 million. This is like not even 1 million.
>> Oh, you're right. That one's That one's actually 65 million. Look at the price on it.
>> You can buy a chateau for 60 million.
>> These are mansions. these.
