South Africans have a positive opinion of African Americans because we have a very similar history of racial oppression. We understand you. And immigrants to South Africa from other African countries insult us and have a negative opinion of us too. If there in one group of black people who are in solidarity with African Americans, it's South Africans.

I’m a Hebrew Israelite and I must say I take a lot of my inspiration from African-Americans spiritually. Your journey through difficulties of slavery, Jim Crow and history of struggle for equal rights is inspirational to many Black South Africans. Even through your music we get inspiration, as a group of people. Your contribution to the upliftment of the Black race world wide can never be under stated. However, there are few individuals who choose to keep ignorant about the continent, and believe on the negative narrative regarding the continent, such action always hurts. I can understand why some Africans sometimes are not so receptive towards African Americans. We hope such experiences expressed in this video will go along way in mending those broken bridges.

You remind me of myself when I first came to the US in 2001 from Phalaborwa, Limpopo. I spent 3yrs on a working holiday visa working & traveling across the length & breadth of the USA. I met people from all walks of life & made lifetime friendship with them. In January of 2004 I went back to South Africa but after getting that exposure of living on a different continent, I knew I wanted to travel more & see the world. In May of 2004 I came to the UK on a 2yrs working holiday visa & 16yrs later I'm still living here & enjoying everything about Great Britain. One thing I've noticed about the two countries is that the UK looks after it's citizens much better than the US. For example in the UK there's free healthcare for everyone but in the US you need to have some sort of a medical insurance to access treatment. Second point is, in the USA if you don't have strong family ties you can easily become homeless. In the UK there's a social housing designed for those who can't afford to buy or rent from private landlords. last but not least we've got a very strict gun control laws here & very few people own firearms. It's also cheaper & easier to travel across Europe from here.

It’s amazing to be able to experience these cultural differences and I would love the opportunity to experience as many as I possibly can.

@@oleratoyoga you're welcome sesi it was great to watch you sharing your travel life experiences. If you still want to travel the world more do it now before you start a family i.e. kids, husband etc. When I went to the US I was only 20yrs old just imagine at that tender age in another country on a different continent. But through the grace of God & self discipline he kept me out of harm's way. We are in this world for a limited period, live life to the fullest & enjoy every minute of it. The UK is also a melting pot of different cultures. I've learnt a lot through travelling the world. If you manage to get to Asia try the likes of South Korea, Japan, Thailand, Indonesia etc they're all fascinating countries with different cultures. After Asia you can also try Europe & believe me you'll have the best time of your life. Europe is so steep in history & culture. The UK is also home to historical figures such as William Shakespeare, Macbeth, William Wallace, Robert Burns and others. & All the historic sites are still intact as they were during the medieval times. Most of the British villages look like something from a novel. I wish you well & keep going sesi the world is your oyster!

They no longer break down and go into depth about the many countries, languages, diverse cultures, etc etc. I'm not even from Africa and it irks my nerves at the ignorance people have of the continent.

But it’s been so long since it was common here that the last time we were in Oregon, Dad wondered why a man was approaching our car! So, if South Africans are on a driving trip, and you guys stop at a gas station to buy snacks, does one person stay with the car? Do your gas stations even have convenience stores?

Audrey Dalton Hey Audrey! Yes we do have convenient stores and you actually stay in the car while the attendant pumps it for you.

But would both people go to the convenience store at the same time, or would one stay with the car? And thanks for responding to my comment!

Yes we do go to the store but you need to lock the car, actually we even have mini shopping centers located around gas stations on highways! And they’re actually safe but if it’s a remote station and at night that wouldn’t be safe

At least our South African flag is displayed on our taxis and it is befitting. I remember one day riding in a taxi that overtook a police car chasing robber's car, A short while later we overtook that robber's car. It was crazy ek se.

The reason why it's because when it's spring and summer the days are longer than the nights and when it's fall and winter the nights are longer than the days in other words during the spring and Summer and extra hour of daylight is gained while an extra hour of night is lost when it's fall and winter it just flip-flops an extra hour of night is gained while an extra hour of day is lost

Day light savings time is a remnant of the time where the country was full of farmers. The same with the times of the year students are at school, the US hasn't let go of the 'farm life'.

As someone from Europe who one day would love to visit SA, I found your points very interesting. Concerning different ethnicities in the US, I have heard that asking ppl about their ethnic background is even considered iinsulting, or racist.. which is wild. Such a shame.. I am like you, I also enjoy guessing ( or learning) different people's origins and mother tongue, but in today's world that is sometimes seen as offensive. Maybe SA is more relaxed when it comes to living alongside other cultures.

This was so informative! But I should warn you as you travel through the states, that traffic rules are different lol. We have many full service gas pumps here in NY, and turning on red is something that we do further out in Long Island, not so much in the city, for obvious reasons. Also.. your hair is amazing. And yep, these braided doos cost all the coins😂😂😂. BTW If you want to test friendships, play “cards against humanity”!

Be aware that in the US, the thing at the top of a pencil is called an eraser. In the US, a rubber is another name for a condom. A newly arrived male college student friend learned this when he asked a female classmate if she had a rubber. 😄
