Oh man this video is just pure gold. Thank you for showing reality! When I am in the US after a period of time I want to go back to Colombia. When I am in Colombia after a period of time I want to go back to the US. I am trap in the middle as you mentioned and I don't like it. I am 30 and spent my teenage years in Colombia but my working life as an adult has been in the US.

This video is so true. I moved to the U.S. back in 1992 and after 25 years of living there (i lived most of the time in the Chicago area), i decided to move to a small town in Greece in 2017.\n\nThe general income and standard of living are much lower here, but people here know how to live their lives . Back in Chicago I was just working like crazy from Monday to Friday and on the weekends I was just recharging my batteries for the next week.\n\nIn Greece i lost all my depression, stress and anxiety and feel like a reborn man ;)

The biggest curse in a man’s life to leave his country behind to chase empty dreams \nWhat shines isn’t most of the times gold \nGuys dont do it I wasn’t listening when I was young \nIt’s kind of irreversible the longer you stay abroad away from your country the harder it gets to ever return back\nYou get inevitably homesick to the bone and loneliness prevails \nOn top of that and mostly important is that having a family in western societies is like jumping from a roof top excepting to come out in one piece, there’s always a chance but the odds are against you by far \nExcellent content

I am an Irish man that moved to the U.S.S.A twenty years ago. And my ass and all my other bits and pieces are now ( Thanks Christ be to Jesus) back in Ireland. America is not a country its a business. The most God dam cold vacuous depressing soulless place on this planet. Land of the fee and home of the slave. An open air prison with so many God dam rules and regulations it will make your head spin. Thank feck I have traveled . I have been all around Europe and South America, and a little to Africa. And I can say hands down. You don't live when you are in that God forsaken country Amerika. You exist. Nobody has any time. Nobody talks to or trusts anyone. The only time someone talks to you is if they want to sell you something. It's the land of fake smiles and fake personalities. They are void of any sense of humor, and please don't get me started on the woman. They are co co co colder than a witches tit. The cost of living is ridiculous. The cost of housing a joke. Most people working two jobs, just for basics. The food in the grocery stores is utter shite. You are taxed up the gill and you get nothing for it. I could go on and on and on for days about this. On a positive note however, it does have a lot of airports if you want to get the feck out of there. Oh and the elections are fixed. I voted with my feet and left. Life is to short to live in a shit country!

I wanna go there to remove your loneliness we asian live in high density told your country man to accept my application

The U.S. is very large, and there are many different types of people and many different types of neighborhoods, cities, and communities. I have lived where neighbors knew one another very well, and their kids would play ball in the street or play baseball at the local park or playground. I have lived where there are walking trails where you would see the same familar faces time and again. I have lived where there were many community activities. There are places where you can find farmer's markets and where churches are large and hold events. Our town has many groups that you can join, and there is a local theater. There are cities of course, where you can find all sorts of things to do. People do have a tendency in many places to have their spaces, and as most people do have what they need within those spaces...and many are spending more and more time on computers and watching televisions, we are becoming more estranged than we once were. We have come to value privacy. But, again, there are many many people with many different lifestyles. Today I went to shop at two different stores and ended up in conversations with several people. One man invited me to visit his farm. One woman told me all about her home and garden. Another lady told me about her daughter and what was going on with their family. I did not feel like a stranger, and the people I saw working in different businesses today were talkative and interacting with many other people, including friends and neighbors and other familiar faces. it just takes a little effort to smile and to speak. That being done, I was very happy to return to my home and have my own space again, where I knew I could take a nap without anyone knocking unexpectedly on my door. So....it depends on what you want. I would hesitate to paint the U.S. with a very broad brush. \nThat being said, it is very difficult to leave your home behind. It can be very difficult to stop seeing differences because you did love so many things about where you grew up, though you might not realize how much you will miss them until you've gone. I feel that in myself, and I have to be very careful not to miss the potential and possibilities where I am, because I am always thinking about how I miss where I once was.

It's true man!! Imagine in your entire video haven't seen a single person outdoors !!! Except that maroon sedan!!!

Does he not realize how dangerous it is for him to walk this kind of streets as a black man in America or Canada?? Pretty sure calls to police department were made. Please be careful. Same with white or Asian people walking in the hood of NYC. It's unfortunate humanity and society are not safe anymore anywhere depends on who you are. ?

As long as their last name is Trudeau they should have no problem. What does this ass hat know of the common mans issues in a world that he and his buddies are doing their best to destroy??

Would you say that Latin America is in the west or east? Why yo assume that only Canada and USA are the west, c’mon man get things straight.

For goodness sake, please stop with blanket statements that all Africans are peaceful or live peacefully. You and I and many others, including Africans themselves, know that is untrue. There is a lot of evil and corruption within the continent of Africa as well as among any nationality. Dereck Egbuniwe is from Nigeria and a VERY wicked and sadistic man - a liar, thief, and much more - who has intentionally harmed women and his very own children and destroyed innocent peoples lives.

I was born in USA but this man speaks 100% truth. \n\nI feel afraid, lonely , depressed in California. People are mean, rude, cold, violent. So lonely people don't talk to nobody only to fight. Too much drugs. \n\nI'm visiting my parents in Mexico and I like Mexico better. People are very friendly there is crime but not too much. Right here it is nice lovely friendly people say hi friendly neighbors.\n\nUSA is full of everything virtual, everything online and yes consumerism , materialistic and yes very plastic. Working day and night never home. Stupid. I know a lot of people like my uncle always at work never home working 7 days a week like slaves and not ever home just to sleep. Ridiculous. \n\nMy Dad retired and went back to Mexico by Otay and I'm visiting my parents a lot here in Mexico more freedom and very friendly people friendly neighbors. \n\nNot horrible lonely America. In America too much cell phones nobody talks only text. Cold people no interaction no socialize only depression, drugs, drugs, drugs, money money, money, cell phones all day and fighting . \n\nPeople mean rude in USA I fight with everybody in USA too much racism. Too much entitled crazy people. I hate it in California. I prefer Mexico or other foreign countries like Africa, Thailand, Japan, Cambodia. \n\nNo greedy money hungry commercialism capitalist USA and Europe.

Remember that the main trunk of the Indo-European peoples is the Cro-Magnon man, he evolved in times of glaciation, where living locked up in caves was a large part of his life, they went hunting, he lived in extremely difficult conditions and for that reason his creativity was He developed quite a bit, his brain grew larger, and his hunting and war skills became a way of life. That is why later, when Europe thawed man, the evolution of that man converted into the Indo-European people expanded out of Europe, began the conquest of peoples from warm climates, and became lord and master of the world, conquering every place where he lived. arrived, they established themselves as a warrior and royal caste, that is how civilization began at the hands of the white man. He still has that instinct to live hidden in caves, since he enjoys his solitude, that allows him to develop ideas and create new things, he is happy to go hunting, then return home and winter.

All he is saying is not true. Sorry, I don’t know where he lives but I was born and raised in the southern part of the USA. My experiences are so opposite of what this man is saying. You must know that foreigners from other countries will not have the same experience as born/raised Americans. I am very travelled, yes there are various differences from countries to countries but it’s up to an individual to find meaning in life no matter where they are.

Man \nThe video looks dry like a tree with no leaves

Mr Man, even in Africa we still have neighborhoods that are more quietly than some areas in the state, In the state the more you work the more richer you become.

Disgusting, to think that the staff in this store are thinking that this man is going to steal? Is it the way he was dressed? all shoppers browse, I would have been offended

Islam is the most poisonous ideology in the history of man. Ex Muslim man here who no longer take this shit!

Good vid man!!

Υοu must be joking ..Quebec the best province ? Anglophones in persecution , high income taxes , high sales taxes , old crappy hospitals , Montreal roads by far the worst in Canada , unwelcoming immigration policies and many more . Don't make stupid videos man .

Some pronunciations were a little awry, but man was this video spot on. Thanks a bunch for the laughs!?

Ngl I'm Indian and I laughed hard at this. She funny man

yo man the highly aggressive sport played on ice is CURLING

Every human has its own experience about country and culture and it's behaviour of people but it's depend your situation and what gender you are for women life is great,man has always tuff.

I am wheatish white colored indian ,but once a Karen said racial comments about my mother and then I lost my cool ,I had a go pro tied around and I beat that guy really bad ,called 911 and explained and showed them the footage . Man that day I lost my cool . No wonder some Americans are really really really mental .

Awesome, man!

well it’s not her problem it will be a rule man

Hey man I have a question.. Suppose I'm doing a job in India as a full stack developer and I'll be completing 2 years of work soon. I'm familiar with all the tools and technologies which they teach in Canada, so it is necessary for me to take IT related course in Canada or I can go for any course to get my Work Permit for 3 years.. My IELTS Score is 8....

Hey great video man! thanks for all the details. I would like to know for Express Entry Federal Skills trade, would my Trades Equivalency assessment be used instead of an ECA because those authorized places doesn't assess trades certificates or diploma?

You are a great man ,May Allah bless u &ur family.

That white man is racist too

Wow - she just wiped Quebec right off the map of Canada with a single statement. Incredible, but I guess there's no point teaching history and geography to someone who clearly knows everything and who cares if a *fifth* of your country chooses to speak another language 90% of the time ;)\n\nWe have our share of Karens here in Oz but I had hoped that Canada was a more educated, civilised society. I get that these people don't represent the majority, but its the loud voices that focus people's attention, sadly. As for the feeble attempts of her 'man' to defuse the situation, don't give up your day job amigo.

We miss you sir ur the great man and we love you Allah bless you

LOVE IT LOVE LOVE IT!!!! Man, I tell ya, you can find anything on YouTube!!!

Well that was infuriating. Regina do better! Come on! Even if he was going to shoplift you don't have any empathy for the fact that the man was looking at BABY FOOD??? Seriously? Dude was just existing and they were treating him like they were undercover cops about to do a bust or sting operation. Ugh.

Man, I remember that neighbourhood.

Am overjoyed,I don't know who needs to hear my testimonies and recommendations via my Canadian?? immigration experience,In regard to Canada immigration or job opportunities I would recommend my helper in the person of Mr Clayton Hernandez a Canadian who have helped hundreds of people to make their Canadian dream a reality.This man will offer you best advice and guide on immigration.

Man I want some poutine now

DC! So much closer than Philadelphia, so thanks for that. I trust you are coming in the spring/summer/autumn as you'd never withstand winter any any of those cities (except the West Coast, but then you wouldn't be able to tolerate summer and the 132F degree heat waves plaguing that part of the country). Well done, lads - I'm off to see a man about purchasing some tickets...

Man, these guys passport would probably give them V.I.P status

2:09 what is menacing about a Muslim man standing? Also, what does the isis video have to do with this story?
