*Updated - Please Read! After reading through a lot of your comments, I think I need to clarify some things about this video. I created about 10 videos with a leading English language Institute in Korea about 2 years ago. Sam, Bella, and John all worked for this institute at that time. I don't know if they still do. I hadn't met them before shooting this video. I was basically told that a British, Australian and American teacher would be available for my video so I came up with questions I was curious about. It was my mistake of coming up with questions for people I didn't know. So, please refrain from commenting negatively on John, Bella and Sam. I will make sure to carefully select for my next video. Thanks!

John should have said 'politics' for, 'something to not say to Americans' question. I feel that politics, and opinions about the current US president is a very touchy subject here.

[@chamllis]

retroxlove not so touching, but you don’t want a argument for 3 hours about who has the louder bark.

[@BulletTheEnforcer]

As an American, I absolutely agree, but the problem you describe is not just restricted to the current president; instead, I would argue that it is problem found with nearly any US president in American history. People will expect you to unquestioningly take their side and agree with their own opinion about the political system, the president and whichever political party he or she comes from. There is absolutely no gray area, middle ground, or just having a different opinion that does not neatly fit into whichever two narrow boxes of political and social opinion the media has decided can legitimately exist within the nation's consciousness.

[@BulletTheEnforcer]

@SmoothRide "Nah...politics and US President Trump are only touchy subjects to the anti-American fringe community living in the US. Only anti-Americans who hate the US Constitution and hate America, also hate Trump. But the Real Americans...the majority...absolutely LOVE how Trump is now repairing all the damage that was caused by the former Shuck~N~Jive, Usurper who was squatting rent-free in the White House." Your statement is a perfect example of what I am talking about. You stated "Only anti-Americans who hate the US Constitution and hate America, also hate Trump..." you have made the fallacious claim that if a person disagrees with or dislikes Trump, they are anti-American. You then claim that "...Real Americans...", an ethnic group that I've never heard of, "Love Trump." From your aforementioned statement you have made the fallacious assertion that in order to be a real American you must absolutely, uncompromisingly love President Trump, and that's stupidly false; furthermore, you have blaringly implied that if I do not like President Trump or agree with every little thing that he does, then I or anyone else who disagrees with his actions are anti-American. I also find your use of the phrase "...Shuck~N~Jive, Usurper..." to be quite telling as to what type of person you actually are. If the previous president, President Barrack Obama, were truly a power-hungry usurper who was willing to hold onto power regardless of the cost of his actions for the citizens of this country, President Trump would not be the Chief Executive of the United States. Everything you accused President Obama of doing, President Trump is actually doing. I did not agree with all of President Obama's actions when he was president, and I extend the same attitude to President Trump's. The constitution of the United States gives me and you the right to legitimately disagree with and criticize the government without fear of reciprocity. I will use my right to express my opinion, just as you are doing. I believe we have both proved u/retroxlove's point: politics is a subject that you should definitely not bring up to Americans. :)

If you like the beach, South Beach (east of Miami) or Clearwater Beach (west of Tampa).

[@thanderlin4058]

As an Australian I'd say outside of the typical meat pies and BBQ - we excel in Asian cuisine - probably the best outside of Asia. The average Aussie eats a crazy amount of Asian food (also Italian/Greek) - it's practically a staple. This is mainly because our closest neighbor is Asia and we have a long history with adapting with food brought to Aus by immigrants. Of course I'm just speaking broadly. Also we're coffee snobs - I say this affectionately. The Espresso coffee culture is one of the most sophisticated in the world. It's one of the reasons why Starbucks actually failed in Australia - it was so terrible in comparison that Starbucks selling coffee to an Aussie was like someone selling ice-cubes to an Eskimo. The local gas station could do better and cheaper. They were eventually forced to shut down two-thirds of their stores in the early 2000's. The only other place Starbucks failed is Italy. I seriously have no idea why I went off on this tangent but thought I should drop it in. Thanks for the video!

[@lrgd]

Australia sounds like a fine place to live...

[@kowaikuma]

This is true! Probably 70% of the food I eat is Asian cuisine. It's just very easy, healthy, and delicious.

[@JohannChow]

FYI Starbucks also failed in Sweden. As one of the nations that has the highest coffee consumption, Starbucks just can't survive well (and there's a local chain "espresso house" which is way better than Starbucks!)

[@cocoacoolness]

Yes i agree, we eat so much asian food to the point where there is probably more asian restaurants than western. There's also lots of taverns which sell your typical steaks or whatever. Id also say that Australia has its own unique kind of handburger. I like it best homemade where you can add everything, including stuff like beatroot and pinapple. I also agree on the coffee thing, i tried starbucks once and it was the worst coffee id ever had.

Don't tell an American you are going to the "toilet". It may seem trivial, but it is the bathroom or restroom here. Toilet is way too specific for what you are doing in there to us and yes we know that may seem weird. Also, last time I was in Korea I was asked how we specify what we are going to the bathroom to do. We don't and would consider that a bit vulgar.

[@bobdylan3274]

ajohnson9630 you can say you are going to take a leak if you are a guy but thats about it. Kids use number 1 and 2.

[@ajohnson9630]

It's hardly ever ok to say you are going to take a leak. It's very vulgar and cringeworthy. Also number 1 and number 2 should be avoided. Just say you are going to the restroom like a polite human that was raised decently.

[@bobdylan3274]

ajohnson9630 taking a leak is fine in a casual setting. You must be easily cringed.

Nope just raised correctly. Being vulgar casually is not cool.

If you want to visit the US, I recommend Washington D.C., to start. Then take some time to visit the Black Hills in South Dakota; maybe even Mackinac [pronounced Mack-in-Ah] Island in Michigan. You should also try visiting The Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village in Dearborn, Michigan. And if you like to honor the dead, check out our largest military cemetery in Arlington, Virginia (literally called Arlington Cemetery). New Orleans, Louisiana is also a great spot to visit! Definitely has its own unique culture and flare. It doesn’t hurt to try to squeeze in a little bit of everything.

I think some of these questions are not suitable for a big country like the US. Someone coming from California might know nothing about the south or what’s popular there, I think they have their own unique cuisine and traditions not typically found in the west coast. California also has restaurants exclusive to the state, like In n Out and King Taco. What’s more, notice how John only actually mentions California when asked what to do when you visit the country.
