6 Things 🇪🇸 Has That The 🇺🇸 NEEDS!

@@dor45list no, no son los mundos de yupi..pero es cierto que si a una persona que conoces, y te parace amable y buena persona, le ves tratando con menosprecio, clasismo y autoritarismo a un camarero, o recepcionista de hotel, o lo q sea.. Oye. Es o no es? Lo digo pq a mi me ha pasado y sé de gente que le ha pasado. Que eso de que según tratas a quien te atiende es la forma de ver la cara real.. pues mira, creo q sí es así. Dependerá quizá del lugar o lo q sea. Yo hablo de Cataluña. Pero por mi experiencia sí aplica.

Greetings from Blue Bell, PA! I am a Spaniard living in PA for the past 23 years and planning to go back to Spain :) Philly is terrible these days, I feel safer in New York. My doctor's office is in center city, in Walnut and 8th st., and they have a metal detector at the entrance... So sad...

[@sinelo3965]

Every time I hear someone praising citizen security in Spain I get teary-eyed, because that should not be a rarity or a luxury in any country

[@caballoloco100]

Well, there is also criminality in Spain, but rarely gun-related crime. Crime seems mainly confined to robbery by pickpockets and man-attacks-wife/gender-related crime.

Hola Danielle, pareces buena persona y que agradable es escuchar tú opinión sobre lo que vas viendo en tú paso por España. Ojalá, al final decidas quedarte a vivir con nosotros. ¿Cuándo te vas a animar a hacer un video en español?. Espero que pronto.😄 En España decimos que, "trabajamos para vivir y no vivimos para trabajar". Te deseo un feliz año nuevo, lleno de suerte, salud y amor.

[@caballoloco100]

Minute 2:00 Yeah, I am with you, blue sky changes the mood. So you can get used to it very quickly.

[@jal051]

Hey. I liked that you didn't repeat the same points everyone does. Of course some points will always be there, but it was nice to have some different ones too.

[@TheModernSurvivalist]

Danielle, the law in Spain says the blade must be 4 inch (10cm) or shorter for carrying. Perfectly legal in Spain, in many other countries you WILL end up in jail for it so check the local laws. You can own any knife you want but for carrying, 4 inch or shorter so as to make it legal. Also legal in Spain is pepper spray, you can buy Sabre Red in most knife or gun stores in Madrid, even hardware stores or order it online. Pepper Spray would be PERFECT for you, great for the low level threats in Spain. Again, check the laws becuase it is illegal to carry pepper spray in a number of other countries. In UK you get 5 years in prison for pepper spray, its considered the same as an illegal firearm.

[@Tricroman]

No, you can't carry a blade. If you don't have a justification you can be fined between €600 and €30.000, and the blade may be confiscated.

[@dor45list]

Easy, warrior, in Spain we don't need blades or sprays.

[@miguelm.a7462]

Nobody buys pepper spray in Spain I don't know if it is even legal

Hi Danielle. I was shocked by the wire thing. I also live in Madrid and sometimes I am really annoyed because I spot internet wires just on some facades. There are places like the old quarters in Cáceres where anything resembling a cable ANYWHERE is strictly forbidden

Some people say is easier to not get fat in Spain because of the natural ingredients, the type of food and that you walk much more. Even people say they get less pimples.

[@daniellegrobman]

definitely less pimples for sure but I think weight is up to the individual in how much they choose to ingest and how often they choose to exercise (along with hormone factors etc)

It is certainly a pleasure for me as a Spaniard to hear these things from the mouth of a foreigner, while at the same time it is strange that these things - normal for me - cause surprise. Not infrequently Spaniards do not value what they have and tend to be hypercritical. Thanks for your videos. 🙂

Hello Danielle... Nice to greet you. What I can tell you is that I started following you on Instagram because I find you very nice and I like to know what people from outside my city think. Madrid is a very welcoming city and, for me, even though I haven't lived there for a long time, it's the most fun city in the world. It's very nice to hear you speak so well of the place where I grew up. I hope you stay for a long time. Happy 2025!

I'm shocked about the fact that in the US the customers don't treat the people working there as people, just as serving machines...

Happy New Year! I've been watching your videos for a few months, and having seen you kinda fall in love with my country is quite heartwarming. Nevertheless, I feel it's my duty to try to make you realize you're flabbergasted right now 😊 Eventually, you will find there are things here that aren't so amazing or that you plainly dislike. As with a lover, that's the moment you will find out if you really love us as much as to live with us for ever :-)

[@mimosinn]

Buenas reflexiones. Seguro que en el futuro acabarás haciendo videos en español y con muchos seguidores españoles.

[@brago900]

Underground cables are not only a matter of aesthetics, they are also safer because you don't have to worry about people causing a blunder that will cause a section of the city to lose power. While transport in Madrid is very well developed, in other parts of Spain it is much less developed. This is partly due to the fact that much of Spain is empty but mainly due to a persistent 50 years of mismanagement. With Franco's death everything went to hell at the governmental level. Unfortunately the streets are no longer as safe as they used to be, due to illegal immigration many people with criminal records are entering the country and this is causing an increase in islamist attacks (This Christmas, 42 attacks were intervened). I can assure you that the last point is true, even I do it and I am an extremely asocial person. Que buenos vientos te acompañen en tu travesía.

[@m.charron]

'Out here in...' 'Move out to...' is such an Americanism. Out implies moving away from the centre, to the fringes. Madrid no está al quinto pino, es una cuidad de maravilla con historia. Igual España, hasta en sus rincones menos poblados, tiene una riqueza cultural, lingüística, gastronómica, y ambiental.

[@FranMartinezphotographer]

As a Spanish person we have all grown up listening to people saying that Spain is the best country in the world. Usually is the people that hasn't left the country who say so. So It is fascinating listening to you and so many other people coming from all around actually acknowledging these very things Spain has to offer. Apart from the more obvious ones like health care or public transportation, It shocks me a lot the fact that you don't stop on Sundays. The hustle culture is something that I'll never understand.

[@daniellegrobman]

it's something so deeply engrained within us that it's second nature. I'm of the opinion that if you love what you do then it's ok to be obsessed with it and do it 24/7, but even that I understand isn't 100% healthy

Please dont say healthcare.... dam it. Here we go again. Are you willing to forego 45% of your salary for a healthcare system that at its best will keep you waiting for 2 hours to get prescription for a cold, and at its worst will have you waiting 2 years for a knee surgery? Do you really want your doctors to become public government workers? lazy, setteled, permenant unlosable jobs workers? Do you know that even with a cut in 45% of salary 70% of people in Spain still pays for a private health insurance? Please, you muricans need to stop this nonsense yapping about healthcare, saying what you heard from others and perpetuating a lie.

[@clouseau54]

No se pueden decir más mentiras en tan poco texto. El sistema sanitario público no se paga con tu salario. Confundes Seguridad Social con Sanidad.

Otro adoctrinado más que o se inventa datos o los repite como un papagayo. Feliz año.
