6 Things I Don't Miss About The USA

[@willrobinson8846]

Your 100 percent right on the transportation in America. Outside of NYC, San Francisco, Chicago, , if you don't have a car your screwed. Most jobs even ask "do you have a car?" . I dated a girl in University from Europe, she would complain, why do i need to get into a car or call a taxi to do everything! lol

[@Minoritynomad]

I just came back two days ago and it's driving me crazy. The traffic and cost is nuts.

[@heijeehei]

I've been living in Europe for... about 7 years now and sometimes someone will ask me "So, are you ever going to move back?" Inwardly I'm like "BITCH NO WAY IN HELL" but of course I try and respond respectfully :D I get healthcare here. I don't have to personally do my taxes except for the 15 minutes it takes to do a tax return and who DOESN'T want money back. If I ever have a kid I know both my partner and I will get a substantial amount of parental leave. In Germany everyone gets a minimum of 24 vacation days but it can easily go upwards (the average amount for a civil servant is in the mid to low 30's). When I lived in Finland you had to take an obligatory two week vacation for YOUR betterment so you weren't drained or completely crushed by work. It's also nice to not be afraid of people carrying guns everywhere. And yes, you'll experience racism no matter where you go but my absolute worst experiences were all in the States. In Helsinki I can only think of two experiences and one was - no joke- an American dude being crazy racist and not even knowing it. That being said... I really. Really. Really miss American Chinese food. If I ever go back I'm getting an order of pork fried rice, chicken lo mein, sesame chicken, lobster sauce and a pile of eggrolls bigger than my face. Maybe also some breaded fish with collard greens and mac & cheese. Also some good ol' NYC pizza. And a really gross philly cheesesteak with that gooey artificial cheese. Also, I've never tried gumbo and I feel like I'm missing out on life. OH MY GOD AND DINER FOOD. Sigh...

[@Minoritynomad]

+Jee Hei uhhhhhh are you sure you're not a black woman in disguise? Lol. So glad you commented because many don't realize people of different nationalities have the same issues we do as African Americans. Many also don't realize how delicious our extremely fatty food is. Lol. Thanks for the comment. Wonderful insight.

[@heijeehei]

Yeah you'd be amazed by how many people I've met that assume Asians don't experience racism. And I often deal with people who have the logic of "Well what happened to you wasn't racist because you as an Asian don't deal with racism." It is the most bizarre logic. But back to food! My best friend is Black which may account for some of the food cravings :D When she came to visit me in Baltimore she'd bring me a styrofoam takeout box full of food from Philly. For a short period of time there was an "American" restaurant here in Berlin that had Philly Cheesesteak on their menu except it was actually steak with really nice baguette bread and I was just thinking "This is all well and good but where's the garbage I was expecting?"

[@Minoritynomad]

Jee Hei RIGHT!!!! I wouldn't advocating eating out terrible food quality everyday but occasionally, I need a sandwich dipped in fatty sauce for no reason. Hahahahaha

[@heijeehei]

Minority Nomad Ain't that the truth!

[@sQSZeSV61EU4hyUka2oIx]

love the comment about poverty, i've always said if you live in the US you...and you're "poor" you're probably still living better than most

[@Minoritynomad]

My eyes were opened when I went to work in Haiti doing relief stuff. Holy shit. People have no idea.

[@CuratedVibes]

These are ALL the reasons I would love to spend the next few months grinding to save up and move my son and I outside of the US. Things are just getting worse.

[@Minoritynomad]

which is why I just laugh when people ask me why I don't come "home" more often.

[@CuratedVibes]

I think once you see its not so scary out in the real world, it's easy to stay away.

[@Astoldbykevin]

The thing about poverty is so on point. I went to Indonesia and ate like a king for 10USD. My waitress told me see made 80USD/month. It made me really look at myself because I complained about my pay but she would have to work 6 years to make what I make monthly. Big eye opener. Also the flights are ridiculous also!! I used to pay 500 for flights he from GA. I have spent less than that traveling to multiple countries.

[@Minoritynomad]

I seriously think the best thing the U.S. government could ever do is send people on a trip overseas for like one month. People would QUICKLY realize that they don't have it so bad. Granted, I fully understand that economics back home is jacked up. Especially with inflation. But it doesn't even compare to what people have to deal with in about 80% of the countries on this planet. I've begun retiring the complaint center of my brain. lol

[@modelworkzseo]

I couldn't agree more about the tipping issue, feels weird each time I come back to the states

[@Minoritynomad]

Just say NOOOOOOOO. lol

[@Solotv84]

My last fight was $350 from Minneapolis to San Diego......The U.S.A is at least 350 years behind in public transportation compared to Europe. It's a shame I remember getting around in Germany with public transportation never needed a car. In the U.S.A. you need a car to get to your job unless you live within walking distance it's truly a shame. Love this video background looks super peaceful!

[@Minoritynomad]

+Solotv84 for real. Germany has some of the worlds best trains. Fast, efficient, and not too expensive. You can fly to like 10 countries in Europe for 350. Lol

[@Minoritynomad]

Love reading this. Why I do what I do. I’m so excited for your new adventure. Embrace and enjoy.

[@DoglinsShadow]

1) Totally agree. Grew up in Omaha, it's smaller but has the worst black murder RATE and top murder RATE in the country! My neighboring high school had a bad shooting, our big mall had A HUGE shooting, and there was a shooting while I worked at the other mall... literally while I was working. 2) Yes, negativity is pretty bad here. a lot of victim mentality. Also, everyone complains about the weather. 3) I agree!!! Flights from Berlin to London are SO CHEAP, not to mention the incredible infrastructure!!! It's so easy to get around Europe. You need a car in America, which is depressing always driving for long periods. 4) Yes food quality is so bad. Sad part is is that most people don't even know it's bad!!! They eat MCDONALD'S then wonder why they're tired 24/7, then fill themselves with drugs the doctors say will help fatigue. 5) politics- it's bad. yes. People are obsessed with Republicans vs Democratic. it's more like a popularity contest. people vote for Trump or Hillary based on appearance, not actual positions and opinions. Everything is dumbed down for the masses, using fear (back to the victim mentality). The American people must take responsibility for their own health and life, and make the choice to think. people need to stop fighting and start working together- Republicans and Democrats need to find out together what actually works! 6) I hated working at restaurants. my last real job is a bank job and it was so nice to get paid more to do way less. All around great video, you do solid stuff and seem like you have your head on straight. Keep up the good work, I can't wait to join the digital nomads!

[@Minoritynomad]

glad you enjoyed it. totally different world out here.

[@2016brownie]

lol damn the fierceness with which he said he would NEVER go vegan/vegetarian. why?

[@Minoritynomad]

lol. I tend to exaggerate my dislike for vegans. Only because they always give me shit on YT and IG about my love of meat. Actually, I tend to go vegetarian once a month. Almost fully if Im training for something.

[@2016brownie]

[@naomiward1712]

I love all of your videos seriously. I am a new subscriber and I believe that you are open and honest and real and that's something you cannot say about A LOT of youtubers so thank you. I have recently started my real journey to start travelling (i'm going to Canada and Beijing this year) and the PRICES of these flights.... I cannot fathom why a flight from Cleveland to DC should ever be $200 or $300 sometimes.. especially these flights from the US to Africa... I will not let this stop my travel ever but it amazes me. As I continue my journey I will continue to watch your videos!

[@Minoritynomad]

Oh dont get me started on how ridiculously overpriced domestic US travel is. Disgusting. So glad you found me and I could help. Why I do what I do. Welcome

[@vankeefer]

[@Minoritynomad]

+Baytric Bullock hmmmm. What do you like to do? What's your budget? How are you getting everywhere else?

[@phillipperobinson769]

You were not being negative. You talked about the topics in a respectful manor.

[@Minoritynomad]

What do you think? Am I being too harsh?

[@BeeChance]

Absolutely not and I agree with you on everything. It was raw honesty.

[@ArikatB]

No. It is your opinion. Can't be mad for an opinion. What you said is true.

[@Minoritynomad]

yes and no. Basically, Europe prioritizes people over companies. In the U.S., it's reversed. So the oil and airline industries have consistently blocked any forms of affordable travel by bribing politicians. The U.S. should have had a massive national rail service decades ago but it's been blocked at every turn. European nations developed affordable travel options independently then linked these systems together. Which has done wonders for international trade and travel in Europe.

[@adriangeicu]

Again, I like your video. I'm not competent in talking about all the subjects you touched, but at least on 2 of them, I can say you are right. One would be about hate&venom, it's incredible to me how much of negativity is found there, to be honest, I didn't belived i was a rule, since I'm not dumb enough to make opinions based on few videos I've seen on youtube, were people are beeing flamed/humiliated over such stupid pointless things, there is no shame ore empathy is like the nature of human morality is reversed, and trashing people is the right thing to do. I onced have commented on some video, saying I don't think it's fun to make fun of people... you don't want to know the replies, but you might figgure them out. I get it, internet is full of hate, and trolls, and flamers, but I'm affraid that the behavior will transition into the real world, if it haven't done so allready. Even if, the amreican culture, propagated by the internet, has found it's way into almos every place on this earth, at least here, in Romania, behaviour is still under controll, people do have the decency to not hate eachother. There is still hate, towards the institutions, politicians, but that;s somehing normal, when we don't have the best lives we want for ourself, and lot of young people have o work abroad for a better life. Wich leads me to my 2nd point, about poverty, you mention someone with iphone thinking he's poor, maybe by his delusional standards he is, but I doubt he really understands what poverty really is. From my window, I've seen las year, a little girl, carring a huge bag of empty plastic cans, it was such a emotional sight to see, the girl must have been 6-7 a most, and the bag was triple her size, must have been not that heavy since it was plastic bottles, but still... that's poverty, a 7 year girl to carry a bag triple her size to get some money that will only last her a day. People eating from garbage, and we don't really have - garbage for plastic/meal, etc - I mean there are, but not tha many, the smell alone would make you puke, don't even want to know about eating that. You have a very popular show there, called Survivor, that I watch from time to time, and I find it funny why the show is called "survivior", what exactly do you have to survive from? they have a chiken most of the time, they have coconuts, they can fish, they have supplies of rice/beans, the weather is fine, not like it's -25 celsius outside, sometimes it rains, big deal, any romanian could "survive" those conditions for a long period of time, acually for some, maybe me also, would be quite a paradise, alone on a insland, with warmish weather, coconuts, that's no surviving, that's enjoying. Anyway, If you do visit again Romania, and it's summer, you should come to my city near the Black Sea, called Constanta, we have amazing beaches, and awsome girls ;) . All the best!

[@Minoritynomad]

Adrian Geicu It's frustrating because negativity in the U.S. gets all of the attention. And people think thats all we have. And it's kind of true but we have some amazingly kind and compassionate people also. The coast is the only part of Romania I havent seen. Definitely want to go next season.

[@PeaceRallyOrg]

We have more gun violence than other countries because of the drug war, but it's interesting to note that as gun ownership has gone up gun violence has gone DOWN in the states. If you want to end gun violence, just end the drug war. Just look at all the violence drug wars bring. The border of Mexico, Colombia, now the Philippines, prohibition of alcohol in the states in the 20's...history shows no drug war has ever worked and all of them increase violence massively.

[@annavlog3246]

From an Australian's perspective on America - yup bang on. I thought that we had shitty, expensive travel here, but America's is worse (with the exception of the NYC subway which I do like). At least we have budget airlines here where we can fly from Sydney to Kuala Lumpur for $100US. But a lot of these things are similar here too (except for the gun violence)...

[@suchanhachan]

Can't say that I think experience is the primary factor in an election...Of course it's important, but a candidate's ideas and values should be considered first...Here in Japan people keep electing the same old "experienced" politicians with no new ideas and of course nothing ever changes...As for tipping, if you support changing the system and paying fair wages to wait staff so they don't need tips I whole-heartedly agree with you. But I think many cheap-ass people are just hearing you say they shouldn't tip, which isn't a good thing...

If you like jazz I have a few dope spots. Also a hookah spot that's popping. If you've never been, Full Moon Party is something you have to see. Some white girl wasted stuff but an experience.

It's been proven that there exists a deep divide when it comes to not only affordability of "healthy" food, but access as well in the inner cities. Michelle Obama spent 8 years fighting it. Here's a study I read awhile back. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3482049/ Not sure where you're from but processed foods and meat are FAR from expensive in the inner city. Especially at fast food restaurants. Wal-Mart makes a mint selling this stuff to African Americans and Latinos.

Great video. A 3rd world country like Thailand has a way better domestic public transportation system than the US. For the most part, you don't have to have a car if you live in Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Phuket, and most of the country. Not so in the US. So true about living a much healthier lifestyle in Thailand too. I juice watermelon and other fruits and veggies daily and it's so much fresher and cheaper than in the USA. So true about the rest of your video too. Politicians care more about their political party than the country. That's backwards. But I will differ on the political issue. Obama didn't have money, he was backed by money. Trump can buy and sell Hiillary ten times over, she is way more enslaved to the big corps. who fund her, than Trump. Trump has his own money way before he got into politics. I'm NOT NOT NOT a Trump supporter at all (I'm not in a political party), I just don't want Hillary to get selected because she will start WW3 so she can pay back her supporters through war related contracts Anyway, like your videos!

Obama was elected because I think the American people (Black/White, etc) had finally had enough of White Male rule and seeing that things weren't really improving. There was no way McCain/Palin would have been a better choice than Obama so you're far off-base there. Romney had character but he was more 'monied-up' than anyone and made Obama look like a pauper. So I don't know why you think Romney wouldn't have given Wall Street an even bigger pass than Obama did given Romney's history. But very nice watch.

I voted for Obama, but he was a big disappointment. He let Republicans walk all over him and stole a SCOTUS appointment from him. He is a very smart guy, and he meant well, but he wanted to speak eloquently to people that wanted to swift boat him at every turn. Democrats need a bare knuckle brawler not a professor of anything.

[@TheJayMorra]

Thank you

[@Minoritynomad]

+Kaizen Kings my pleasure

[@johntaliburton7743]

Thai politics aren’t any better. You’re just not involved with it as an expat.

[@Minoritynomad]

I'm VERY involved. I just don't post everything I do and feel publicly. I would never live somewhere and not be involved politically one way or another.

[@robertlalum1461]

why so negative man haha haha love watching you man have fun your keeping it real

[@normastanley5853]

Negative ? So true !

[@andrewmckenzie24]

As an Australian looking in from the outside I totally agree. Australia is going down the exactly the same path. Except the guns. Look up Jim Jeffries "gun control " on KZbin. P.s I really like the Vlogs

[@Minoritynomad]

+Andrew McKenzie thanks man. Oh I'm familiar with JJ. Lol. I've heard Australia is becoming very similar to home. I'll be there in January so I'll see for myself. I hope y'all learn from our mistakes

[@mazok88]

Just get rid of the guns , get rid of that line in the constitution it's almost 2019 not 1800 anymore.

[@Minoritynomad]

That's not how our government or constitution works.

[@sacki2000]

this dude is awesome!

[@Minoritynomad]

I think so as well. lol

[@victoriamonet1117]

TEAM VEGAN!!! 😂😂😂 watch what the health. 🤓🤓 Love that you keep it real. LOVE THAT!

[@Minoritynomad]

+shannon owens yeah. I’ve watched it. Still not convinced. Hahahahahah

[@edunlap6594]

We love negativity hurr in Murica.

[@Minoritynomad]

Yes we do. It's amazing to see. More so from the outside looking in.

[@sydneymichelle8357]

You know, I was subscribed to you, until now I see how fervently your dislike is for veganism and vegans. Do you really not think many of us vegans care about more issues than just being vegan? I'm vegan and I go to protests and bring awareness to those issues, police brutality issues, big oil, LGB rights, AND transgender rights, among others. I held the Transgender Day of Remembrance memorial at my college two years ago. My question is, why so much hate for vegans? Many of us aren't even exclusively doing it for health reasons or for the animals (which are also valid and important), but are actually doing it for the environment. Going vegan is the BIGGEST thing you can do to reduce your carbon footprint. Animal agriculture is 52% of the problem contributing to climate change. The UN even said a few years ago there NEEDS to be a global shift to veganism to have any hope of saving our planet. Look it up.... I changed my diet 6 months ago and stopped eating many of the foods that I loved for the greater good of everyone, and our planet. And if you still have hate for veganism, then you should really look within and see where that's coming from. It takes a strong heart and mind to let go of our food addictions and do what's right.

[@sydneymichelle8357]

Also PS you are definitely limiting yourself to a wider audience since many people that are digital nomads or expats in Thailand, etc are vegan.

[@Minoritynomad]

I don't have a dislike for veganism at all. I have a dislike for self-righteous Vegans that love telling people how much better they morally are than the rest of us because their Vegan. When did I ever say Vegans can't care about other issues? If anything I feel Vegans go out of their way to be SJWs. Taking up cause upon cause. Your comment is precisely what agitates me and many others about Vegans. It's self-congratulatory comments like this " It takes a strong heart and mind to let go of our food addictions and do what's right." that make some of you insufferable and you seriously don't see how it comes across. ' I don't dislike Veganism or Vegans. Do whatever you want. My sister is Vegan. I love hanging with her because I get to eat all the meat they accidently serve her sometimes. But the difference between her and many of you is she doesn't go out of her way to make others feel like bad people because they eat meat. She doesn't point her nose in the air as some beacon of hope for the human race. She doesn't constantly berate people that disagree with her over and over and over. She educates when asked. She explains when asked. She leads by example. So if you want to know what my issue is with Vegans it's this, I believe extreme Vegans are self-righteous assholes. And are just as narrow-minded and selfish as those they stand against. Not all Vegans, the vocal few.

[@Minoritynomad]

Also PS, my channel isn't for Thailand based digital nomad vegans. It's actually not for digital nomads either. I've only made two videos about being a digital nomad. And vegan digital nomads aren't even close to the majority in Chiang Mai. KZbin might have people believe that but it's just not true at all. If people don't like what I have to say I fully encourage them to find other forms of entertainment or education that suits their sensibilities. I don't try to cater to anyone. I'm just me. People either like it or not. Appreciate the advice on how to run my channel.

[@pretty.noodles3540]

You have some terrible political views... first off, it all makes sense... that would never cut it in American politics :)

[@His_Name_Was_King]

u can take away the guns all day long the violence will continue...its the mentality of people that needs to be addressed

[@Minoritynomad]

+kidfall1 yeah. Severe lack of respect for human life globally.

[@His_Name_Was_King]

Not exactly a time period where there really was respect for human life...dont know why people think all this stuff is new to the scene. Somebody has given people this false Utopia they think the world is supposed to be. I blame the world of movie and t.v.

[@Minoritynomad]

kidfall1 well the world should be a Utopia. It's not a bad thing to strive for acceptance, equality, and the end to senseless violence. The problem comes when people live life as if the world is some Utopia. That's delusional and dangerous.

[@His_Name_Was_King]

Minority Nomad Yes sir….but we are 2016 years a.d. in the whole and we still doing the same things they did 2016 b.c. in the whole its safe to assume we aint gonna figure things out anytime soon. One would think if we did have a Utopia here on Earth nobody would desire to be with their creator at all. So if I was God (and I’m not fyi) I wouldn’t allow that to take place.

[@Minoritynomad]

kidfall1 all the more reason to try my friend.

[@dennisthemenance5433]

Its a shame how misled so many of you( Minoirities) are that Whitey is against you.. Our Company( Limo) tried hring some Black Guys to become chauffeurs, paying them like veryone else got, $12 hr..but while you pay for your own Gas, you get to Keep the Tips and you can work 12 hr days x 6 days wk..( more during Winter Season) Now of course making $144 day and your Self Employed, means we teach you how to pay very little income taxes, legally.. Thus your making $45k yr and have to make $60k yr on a Salary job..Of course, The Blacks think its Demeaning to serve rich white folks.. Right? Little do they know , everyone serves rich white folk at one level or another.. Damn Fools, go ahead remain Poor and Complain. and blame everyone else..You allow Politics to Run your Life.. Guns? We have No Stinking Guns in our Neighborhood..!

[@danlewis8019]

You had me unitl you got to the politics. Barack Obama is special. FULL STOP!! LeBron James is special. FULL STOP!! Special people don't have to go the traditional routes to get to the destination. The Republicans like people who don't know ANYTHING. Sarah Palin, George W Bush, Donald Trump are all the latestest and greatest. Nixon impeached. We do deserve Trump but the world does not deserve Trump. He is an embarassment to the nation.

[@Minoritynomad]

agree to disagree. No one is beyond criticism. NO ONE. Especially politicians. On don't get me started on the long list of Democratic POS's not only throughout history but still in office. It's fine to have a political leaning but lets not pretend Democrats aren't just as shady. Their just a lot better at hiding their shit behind a thin veil of emotion.

[@dennisthemenance5433]

I just hope you can make a Living, pay your bills and Save $5k yr and invest it, to support yourself in Retirement.. As long as you can do that? More Power To U!
