European Reacts

Here’s another of the great-fun “European Reacts” videos by André from Portugal, and again he’s joined by his friend (when this was made, but now-wife, the ever-enthusiastic and surprised Sara), making the video all the better.  This one is a bit different and much more low-key than it would otherwise seem.  They watch a video by a young woman from Australia who emigrated to America seven years ago and lists the 10 things she loves the most about the country.  And react to it.

When I say this is much more low-key, boy, do I ever mean that.  Number 2 on her list is Denny’s!  (Yes, really.)  Another thing, for example, is all the American accents.  But the fun thing here is the discussion between André and Sara about the list – and even more, it’s fascinating to see how people from other countries seem the United States on things that everyone here takes for granted.  Like free refills of soft drinks and coffee.  (Yes, those are on the list, too…)  Because all three are amazed by that and in awe of it.  That’s what intrigues me most about this video – there are things on her list that all three loves, and I don’t remotely agree with are what all America is like( for instance, the friendliness of customer service) …however, to people from other countries whose experiences are totally different, such things stand out to them as being so much different and better.
