Teaching Brits American culture in Los Angeles

It wouldn't be an Evan travel vlog if he wasn't running late getting to the gate.

HOW DO I DO IT EVERY TIME

[@grantparman4705]

The Evan Edinger Travel Channel is returning to its roots!

[@evan]

We’re back! Lots of travel comin up too!

[@grantparman4705]

@@evan That's wonderful. I'm an American living in Iowa, and I'm excited for my upcoming trip with my wife to Italy this September!

[@TraceUK]

You can get toaster waffles in the UK! They’re in the bakery aisle next to crumpets & scones Evan! 😆😆😆

[@cadencecarnegie7939]

That's what I was thinking!

[@fan8281xx]

R nt they called GOFRES?

[@keriezy]

There is no other way to walk out of LAX. You can risk your life or take a shuttle _anywhere_ else. Lol, I used to work at that mall.

[@mytube001]

Love Luke's "For a baseball game?"!!!

[@MamaVee50]

Welcome to LA! First stop is always In-n-Out Burger by the airport. 🌺

[@ConsciousAtoms]

Watching this travel vlog makes me realize how much I've missed travel vlogs during the pandemic.

[@frankieorsomething]

As a brit who's just moved to LA, this is exactly the content I need !

[@isthisathing2656]

GRRRR GRRRRRRR!! AAAAAAA!!!!😫

[@rhiannonelora]

I need Luke to see the cinnamon toast crunch advert where they eat each other. Then he'll know true cereal based terror

[@Erin-ks4jp]

There is a part of me that still only barely believes that those diners exist outside of movies. We just don't have any equivalent.

[@bastiaan4129]

They can only excist in places where you pay slave wages to your staff.

[@evan]

@@bastiaan4129 California minimum wage is fairly reasonable compared to jersey

[@bastiaan4129]

@@evan Just looked it up an WOW! 15$ an hour and they cant't even pay you less because you get tips. Does this mean that that diner is just running at a loss the entire night?

[@carolines80]

@@bastiaan4129 Los Angeles minimum wage is even higher. They probably have very few workers working the night shift, and rely on people out late at night, and workers coming in early/late from their shift.

[@violetskies14]

@@bastiaan4129 compared to British prices most things are expensive in America, particularly places like Los Angeles, the living wage is $20 an hour if I remember properly, so what seems like a lot of money to us really isn't to them.

[@TalLikesThat]

Heather is really cool. Edit: I've now watched the rest of the video, everyone's really cool.

[@nipunadodan]

Yeah I was gonna say the same. Heather is so cool and she's introverted I guess, as soon as others arrived she was always in the back and Evan moved with others. Felt so bad for her.

[@blotski]

I remember going to a diner in New York for that American experience and having a bit of a panic when the waitress asked me how I wanted my eggs. I was aware that an American would be able to tell her exactly but all I could say was 'fried'. I kept thinking 'I wonder if I should say sunny side up?' because I'd heard people say that on TV but I didn't know what it meant. She could tell I was English so she just smiled. It worked out fine.

[@beauthestdane]

We are finally travelling internationally for the first time since Covid later this month. Very much looking forward to it.

[@tomrogue13]

Evans so excited to show off America lol

[@mikev7490]

Took me a few shots to realise what was bugging me about the in-car scenes: the driver is on the left side. I've been in the UK too long.

[@IceMetalPunk]

"Plant-based" is the new marketing term for "vegetarian"... not vegan 😁

[@jj-if6it]

Wow I didn't realise you could get a luggage tracker app/tag thing, that's such a good idea

[@justloadalready8839]

I love this so much. Can't wait till you show them the sidewalks that require you to use the apparition points to find where it continues.

[@cvspvr]

apparition points? are those from harry potter?

[@trinkab]

Woot!! Back to Travelling!!

[@charlie.saturday]

Take her to a grocery store or a Walmart! 😂 I’d love to see her reaction to all of the options lol

[@Angie_King_Bens_Grandma]

Nice to see you in SoCal!! I'm a bit further south in San Diego area. Did you get confused when you started driving or does muscle memory take over??😂😂😂

[@erinhenze]

Okay but for real as an American living in the UK for a bit, you're making me really miss giant grocery stores again :(

[@martxw]

The size of that Target! Never mind the vanishing point. Seriously, do the math(s) - the curvature of the Earth will make the floor in the far distance lower than where you're standing!

[@kellyholt4458]

You should’ve told him how the cinnamon toast people eat each other 😂

[@caro9390]

We have the same ad for them here in Germany, too! I'm surprised they don't have them in the UK

[@pattycoe7435]

Heather, I’m in the same boat. I live on the East Coast, never had In and Out either.

[@helza]

Good to see you back in the traveling groove

[@sorscha1308]

You need to make friends with someone on a U.S. airforce base in the UK (or a UK base with a U.S. contingent) that have a commissary. They always have Eggos. Never had them myself but a friend who was obsessed with Stranger Things was gifted a box.

[@autohmae]

euh... the US has no bases of their own in the UK ? they just have some space on some RAF airbases: RAF Alconbury; RAF Croughton; RAF Fairford; RAF Lakenheath; RAF Menwith Hill; RAF Mildenhall

[@LiqdPT]

10:55 your missing out on the Tillamook frozen custard right there. Chocolate raspberry is my favorite, but they sometimes have a whisky caramel (I think) that's great too

[@laceym314]

Been watching for years and love that you get to travel again as well as share the American culture with friends. Looking forward to more.

[@Summer-d1r]

This is a good video. I went to America in 2018 and pretty much all my spendings are on Uber. I have a few questions: Is it hard to drive car in America when in England you used right hand side? How do you know the roads do well? Are the traffics harder for you since it’s also different to British road traffics? Is that air bnb you were staying at? Thanks keep it up.

[@violetskies14]

He doesn't drive here in the UK so I suppose doesn't have to adjust too much.

[@TravelwithTasha393]

I miss the old school travel blogs!

[@SailorSteph]

Evan you can get toaster waffles in the UK, McVities do them and also some supermarkets have their own brands.

[@TomMAXR]

I never thought of putting an apple tag on luggage. Genius

[@evan]

What that’s like the main thing. They even have luggage tags for sale

[@TomMAXR]

@@evan 😂😂 I am very simple in the head. I just have it on my keys

[@danielintheantipodes6741]

Thank you for the video! Have an amazing day!

[@leahmaybf]

I think you can get toaster waffles in Aldi but I would imagine they don’t compare to eggos!

[@EmilyADavis-kq8el]

Nice to see travel videos again 🙌 hopefully this channel can get the views it once did pre-pandemy.

[@evan]

tbf it's done better since I stopped traveling

[@EmilyADavis-kq8el]

@@evan well that's good! just surprising because I haven't been notified of videos from this channel in a long time even though I have the bell on.

[@chelled.4622]

Hopefully this is just part 1 because I want to see so much more :D

[@chadsmith6605]

I’m not that familiar with the travel vlogging that you do but I’ve followed all of your other content. Good to see you out and about. Nice to see Lukes’ face again. 😉

[@SaraxAdam]

I spy my local Target! hope you enjoyed your trip :)

[@SamanthaJoe]

Miss all the US food. Can't wait to visit again!

Take Luke to Wholefoods🌿 Hi from San Diego

[@mytube001]

[@beauthestdane]

I do miss In-n-Out since I moved from California back in 94. We did get a Five Guys near me 3 or so years ago, and they are damned good too,

[@evan]

we have five guys in London! They're great but v pricey

[@beauthestdane]

@@evan Not all that pricey here in CO, a bit more than McDonalds, and far superior.

[@CuriousEchidna]

Enjoyed that :) could do with some subtitles especially when you know the audio isn't fab.

[@lifewithrini]

This was a treasure.

[@erinhenze]

For a BASEBALL game?! (Dub it in they'll never know)

[@tanelipirinen]

Did you enter the US with your US or British passport?

[@Bigdog5400]

I’m curious if Heather been to the US before?

[@potatosauce]

Okay I would never in my life eat Peeps cereal, but I love Peeps. The perfect S'more for me is made with a yellow peep bird, and a square of Dairy Milk.

[@LiqdPT]

I always get my double double animal style, but regular fries.

[@scootbenet]

They sell toaster waffles in LIDL in the UK.

[@scootbenet]

Actually Evan reviewing the regular LIDL USA week, with footlong dogs and peanut flips akimbo would be fun.

[@SuperGourmetguy]

in the uk Cinnamon Grahams are the same. my favourite as a kid

[@suemarie4203]

I ordered animal style..was projectile for 24 hrs

[@samuelyt240]

Did evan say you can fold up a pound note 😐

[@bethmeredith]

Great video!

[@RuRuWebby]

I need to know if Evan still had his balcony furniture when he got back after all those storms

[@evan]

Hahaha great question! They’re chipped to shit, and the tabletop to the lil table has gone off to a better place, but I’ve got another top coming so it’ll be fine.

[@Emthe30something]

What a good, sometimes not good, time

[@mdx7460]

6:38 made me laugh for some reason 🤣

[@TheAlanSaunders]

Culture: "_the social behavior and norms found in human societies, as well as the knowledge, beliefs, arts, laws, customs, capabilities, and habits of the individuals_". American culture: The absolutely worst hypocritical acceptance of gluttony, consumerism, religious cults, selfishness powered by corrupt government financed by large corporations and powerful 'interest organisations'. I visited the US for a fortnight (two weeks) in 1972 and met some lovely people. It was horrible then and has gone downhill since. Unfortunately, the UK is heading the same way with our money grabbing, super lying politicians. When a European City is awarded the accolade of 'City of Culture' it means that they have ascended to the very best standards. Nowhere in the disgusting USA is worthy of that award! There are hundreds of countries where I would prefer to live or visit rather than the USA.

[@tx6845]

It is so bizarre to see how many varieties of one thing there is in supermarkets. I think i would be in there for at least an hour just making decisions!
