¿No heating? The part where I live in Spain has already go below 0C this month, if I hadn't a heating gas system I would be pushing up the daysies. Maybe you live in southern Spain where it is more AC than heating needed, but be sure, there is heating in most inner Spain

Yes, in Spain groceries are a lot cheaper. But salaries are a lot lower. If I moved to the states my salary would be around 4-5 times my salary in Spain.

You should really lock the door. It's very easy to open if you don't. There was one time I closed the door to my house and forgot the keys inside. I called my insurance company and they sent me this guy who opened the door with a piece of plastic in total silence. I lock my door since then

yeah agreed! I was actually paranoid about forgetting my keys inside while filming that part 😅

It is very tiring to have to disprove stereotypes over and over again. It is not true that in Spain you have dinner at eleven at night, that could be on a special occasion, on a weekend, or in the summer during vacations, not every day during the work week.

I said in the video UP to 11pm, not that they start at 11 at night

I start eating dinner every night at that time: me, my brothers, my parents, my grandmother, my friends... What do you mean we don't eat dinner at that time? You might not do it, but there are many people who do. And don't get so tired of refuting anything, or you might break your brain cell.

Exactly. I have dinner at 9 pm and most days earlier. I'm also so tired of these spanish stereotypes of spaniards having dinner very late and all is party and fiesta.

Yes, there is a culture of leisure dining that many restaurants want to change. Imagine occupying a chair for two hours while ordering only a bottle of water and a coffee. I understand how the restaurant owner feels-I’ve been in their shoes. Trust me, they want to kick you out too. Five euros for two hours of taking up a chair? What is this, a park? That’s exactly what the owner thinks of you when you do that.

@@johncmordan yeah completely understandable if it's a restaurant (not a cafe or a bar) and you occupy seats with a coffee for 2h but I'm referring to complete meals (as you would normally do in the restaurant)

The heating issue is the same in for example Australia and even in the UK. I actually bought a heating blanket when I lived in Australia because it was so cold in the flat during the Australian winter. I guess Spain is the same as Australia that most houses and building are uninsulated because of the climate.

In most videos comparing the quality of life in the USA and the EU, the content creators usually start with a disclaimer that the lifestyle in America just wasn't working for them, but this is only their opinion. I think that this almost discredits them, and I'm glad that you didn't do this. The only people who can actually be happier living the "American" lifestyle are certainly rich people who can afford to live in the most exclusive "pedestrian-friendly" neighborhood, and shop in the bourgeois grocery stores. I don't see how you can objectively claim that having unhealthy food, 🛒 higher insurance payments, 🏥 insanely higher rent or mortgage rates, 💰 no mobility whatsoever unless you own a car 🚗 which is very expensive (especially when you factor in parking fees for having a social life and oil changes which occur more frequently when you have more things to do certain months), and utterly boring and uninviting public spaces 😒 might work out just fine for SOME PEOPLE. That is so unnecessarily apologetic to American capitalism. Considering the average person (median national income earner), this way of living is working out for absolutely NO-ONE in the USA. 🤦 And that's an unbiased appraisal based on empirical observation. 🤷 There is zero need to worry about offending someone for educating them on this social reality. Keep up the good work! 👍

Halloween in Spain is not very important because for the vast majority of adults it is a holiday that does not matter to them and is of completely foreign origin. It is usually celebrated especially for the children who want to celebrate it by watching it american series and movies, since here the official spanish holiday is "Dia de todos los santos" in which we go to the cemetery to pay our respects to the deceased. Obviously, children prefer to dress up in fun things and be given candy than to go to a cemetery and see a lots of sad people.

In Spain there is no deciduous native vegetation because the Mediterranean climate is quite extreme: Here there is abundant water in winter, but if you throw away your chlorophyll in autumn you cannot photosynthesize. However, in summer it does not rain so there you cannot photosynthesize either. That is why our species have an adaptation to preserve their leaves during the winter. You can only see deciduous species in areas close to rivers (which maintain humidity in summer) and in the north of Spain (where the climate is Atlantic). Perhaps the most characteristic and widespread are chestnut and oak trees. In the Sierra de Huelva, for example, there are areas of both species, but they are anthropogenic plantations. Herbaceous species behave in the same way. They are generally annual and only appear during rainy periods, mainly in autumn and spring. In summer this type of species disappears. There is grass now because it is raining. These plants will die when the rainy period is over and will not come out again until next year. (Autumn and spring species are different). Edit: I am talking about the native vegetation of the forest, in the city there is what the mayor decided, with many species that would not survive on their own without human care.
