American here and I have been obsessed with Greek Culture since I was a kid. Love love love Greeks. Very nice and welcoming people and I hope to visit the country someday !❤

[@johnzias284]

This random group had a higher view of American life than I expected. As a Greek born American who recently acquired dual citizenship with Greece, and who came here as an infant, I think many of the interviewees overrated the "quality of life" in America. I will posit that it is probably the best place to be rich because your social obligation is minimal, and maybe the best place to get rich if you are a highly driven person or someone with a unique idea that can be turned into a successful product. That said, having visited Greece in each of the past two years, I would say that on an average income, Greece has a better quality of life and clearly a superior, healthy diet, and MUCH less obesity despite the abundance of food. Unless you are in the top 10% of Americans in terms of wealth, your life is most likely consumed by work and stress. There is a lot of alienation among the youth. We may have the best Universities, but the quality of secondary education is dependent on zip code. Unless healthcare is provided by your employer, the costs are prohibitive. The gun culture, though only fetishized by a relatively small minority, has a very high profile within the overall culture, and there is no comparison in violent crime rates. Also, the greatest thing about America, its Constitution and political stability have been shaken in recent years. The young man who said that America is 30 years ahead of today's Greece is way off. I was actually impressed by a lot of the infrastructure in Greece, save for the archaic plumbing system. The degree of digitization is comparable, and America's physical infrastructure has stagnated for decades in relation to the rest of the developed world. In the 1960's we were 30 years ahead of Greece, but for the past 45 years, an ethos of individualism gone amok has replaced the common good. I realize that it is tough for many of the young in Greece in terms of employment and salaries. However, I noticed that happiness was much less dependent on wealth than it is here. Please enjoy your historically significant and stunningly beautiful country. I plan to retire there when I can.

I'm a Greek American who lived in Thessaloniki for 2 years. I was studying Byzantine Music. What I miss the most about Greece is the Orthodox faith as lived by those who are interested there. I know that most Greeks today are not really interested in Orthodox Christianity, but there are so many ways to be involved in an Orthodox Christian community there. I have no living relatives in Greece, but I have family by faith still there. Faith seems to be a little discussed aspect of life on Easy Greek. I love what you offer, though. Thank you so much.

I am the first of my Greek born parents born in the US. I’ve been to Greece in the 50’s,70’s, and 2019. People are the same people all over. Some smart, poor, rich, if you work you can make a good life. US has modern technology and maybe easier to advance if your are willing to work, and get lucky. Not everybody becomes a star or super rich. Americans admire Greece for the history, a more relaxed atmosphere, we don’t take the middle of the day off. I love my homeland but have always been in love with Greece and my blood. One always wants the best of both, but that’s life. Love your Easy Greek, very funny and informative to me.

@Loofah Cause I wanted to learn Greek and meet my extended family/get connected with my roots since I think that it's an important part of personal identity, especially in America where most people have lost that connection in some capacity.

[@rocknrollfreak154]

@Loofah Ελα φίλε, nice to hear from a fellow west coast Greek! I'm from Seattle. Life in Greece is good for all the reasons that you would assume, good weather, great food, there are churches everywhere if you are orthodox and enjoy going to services. Also it has been great for me on a personal level cause I've gotten in touch with the culture/language/dances etc in ways that I wouldn't have the opportunity to do in the USA. The cons are the terrible bureaucracy, work opportunities are sparse and employers generally treat their employees quite poorly (don't pay on time, overworked without pay, etc), and the public services are not great either. For me I am thinking of coming back to the states soon since I am a musician and the income for musicians in Greece is hard to live off of if you want to raise a family. But if you have a remote job with decent pay that you can do overseas, or have some money saved up to live there for a year or two like I did I would recommend going. :)

Μερικοί ερωτηθέντες σχολίασαν την άγνοια (πολλών) Αμερικανών σχετικά με τον υπόλοιπο κόσμο (ιστορία, γεογραφία κτλ). Θα ήθελα να σκέφτομαι τον εαυτό μου σαν εξαίρεση, αλλά πρέπει να ομολογίσω ότι αυτή η κρίση πολύ συχνά είναι δικαιολογημένη. Ένα παράδειγμα από τη δική μου εμπειρία: συνάντησα μια φορά μια γερμανίδα που είχε περάσει ένα χρόνο λυκείου εδώ στην Αμερική, στη Μασαχουσέτι (Massachusetts), σε πρόγραμμα ανταλλαγής μαθητών. Τη ρώτησα για τις εντυπώσεις του σχετικά με την κουλτούρα και το εκπαιδευτικό σύστημά μας. Μου απάντησε ότι οι συμμαθητές του ήταν φιλόξενοι και φιλικοί (τουλάχιστον σε ένα επιφανειακό επίπεδο), αλλά δεν έδειχναν κανένα ίχνος ακόμα και βασικών γνώσεων ενός ευρύτερου κόσμου. Όταν είπε σε μια συμμαθήτρια ότι προέρχεται από τη Γερμανία, αυτή απάντησε «Η Γερμανία, ναι ναι ναι, την έχω ακουστά - είναι κοντά στο Μέιν (Maine), έτσι δεν είναι;» (Το Μέιν είναι η πολιτεία στην ανατολική ακτή των ΗΠΑ πιο κοντά στο Καναδά. Προφανώς δεν μπορούσε η καημένη να φανταστεί καμία χώρα να βρεθεί πιο μακριά από το σπίτι της απ’ όσο είναι το Νιου Μπράνσγουικ, στο Καναδά!)

Θα μπορούσα να γράψω 1000 γραμμές για το θέμα αλλά θα κούραζα. Η Αμερική είναι πολύ μεγάλη, ανομοιόμορφη γεωγραφικά, πληθυσμιακά, φυλετικά, εθνολογικά, ιδεολογικά, μορφωτικά, θρησκευτικά, αλλά κυρίως και πάνω απ'όλα οικονομικά & ταξικά. Είναι λοιπόν πολύ δύσκολο να απαντηθεί αυτή η ερώτηση γενικά και αόριστα για όλους τους Αμερικάνους. Άλλη ιδέα έχω για τους πάρα πολύ πλούσιους, άλλη για τους μεσοαστούς και άλλη για τους φτωχούς, ειδικά πχ τους μαύρους του Νότου. Φυσικά υπάρχουν και εξαιρέσεις, εννοείται. Αν βάλουμε στην άκρη το οικονομικό & ταξικό για να δούμε τους μέσους Αμερικάνους, θα βλέπαμε μεγάλες διαφορές αν συγκρίναμε κάποιες Πολιτείες. Πιθανόν κάποιες πολιτείες να έχουν πιο μεγάλες διαφορές μεταξύ τους απ'ότι κάποια Ευρωπαϊκά κράτη μεταξύ τους που μιλάνε και άλλη γλώσσα... κυριολεκτικά! Πιθανόν κάποιοι μεγαλύτεροι που έζησαν και πιο ένδοξες ημέρες της Αμερικανικής Ιστορίας πχ που έζησαν έναν Κένεντυ, να έχουν καλύτερη γνώμη, ενώ κάποιοι που πέτυχαν τον Τράμπ, έχασαν πάσα ιδέα για την Αμερικανική Πολιτική και γι'αυτούς που τον ψήφισαν. Και δεν είπα πόσο μπορεί να μας επηρεάσει: η Ιστορία (πχ 2ος Παγκόσμιος Πόλεμος, Ψυχρός Πόλεμος, Πόλεμος του Βιετνάμ, Τρομοκρατία, Εξερεύνηση του Διαστήματος κα), η Αμερικάνικη Κουλτούρα του 20ου αιώνα, ο Κινηματογράφος, η Μουσική, οι κολοσσοί του Διαδικτύου κλπ. Αυτό που μπορώ να πω, αν έχει αξία η γνώμη μου, είναι ότι: H γνώμη μου για τους αμερικάνους πολίτες είναι πολύ καλύτερη από τη γνώμη μου για τους αμερικανούς πολιτικούς. Ευτυχώς υπάρχουν και εξαιρέσεις.

Συμφωνώ σε όλα εκτός από την παρατήρηση για τον Τράμπ. Όσο ήταν στην εξουσία οι ΗΠΑ ήταν σε πολύ καλύτερη κατάσταση και μάλιστα είχαν αρχίσει να μην "μπλέκουν" στα εσωτερικά θέματα άλλων χωρών. Ακόμα και ο στρατός τους είχε αρχίσει να φεύγει από άλλες χώρες που δεν είχε καμία δουλειά εκεί. Και όπως βλέπουμε τώρα με την κυβέρνηση Μπάιντεν έχουν αρχίσει να κάνουν πάλι τα ίδια όπως πριν από τον Τράμπ. Έχουν μεγάλη σχέση με τα γεγονότα της Ουκρανίας...........και όχι μόνο.

Americans have always held Greek-Americans and Greeks in high regard. Greeks in turn I sense have softened their opinion of Americans in the past few decades. The new generation of Greeks have a much more nuanced and accurate view of Americans in general than what existed back in the early 1980's. Not sure why this might be the case, the respective gov'ts rapprochement has definitely helped. China's rise and all the turmoil at Greece's front door may have made both parties rethink or "reappreciate" our longstanding relationship. Greece's gifts to western civilization is something Americans are understanding at a greater rate with more Americans coming to vacation to Greece. Continued cultural exchanges have helped in fostering ties. This will only continue to grow. Even Easy Greek plays a small but important role.

From my experience having met dozens of americans, having worked with a few, and having overheard hundreds of american tourists... They are very proper and polite and respectful. Also often wholesome. To the point where you have to think twice before making a joke. And they have this (kind of insulting) habit of swapping curse words with similar sounding gibberish words, like we're at a kindergarten. They are also very social and confident. And competitive in a good way. The older ones are, anyway. I've met a few younger americans, my age or younger. And they are the exact opposite of the older americans. Their personality seems stuck at 15yo, while grown-up responsibilities are causing them 10 different self-diagnosed disorders. Americans are also very giving and charitable. They also wear hats for no reason, even at night. Like an accessory. Weird. They are also very nice and friendly. Except for this woman from NY who was being horrible to everyone with the excuse of "i'm not a b**ch, i'm just from NY" as if that gives you a free pass to be a dick or something. Is that true, newyorkers? They are generally horrible in geography, or any world history before WW2. This negative stereotype is unfortunately very true from my experience. They also have the palate of a toddler. Often I see americans of all ages and sizes be tourists in countries with amazing cuisines and they will dislike everything, and look to eat only pizza, pasta, burger. I personally want to go to Philadelphia to have a cheese steak tour. And then go to Texas because all the nicest kindest americans i've met were from there, and also BBQ.

Funnily enough, I am very bored with our food (in reference to your palate analysis). I like burgers yes, I like pizza and all that. But I love trying new foods from all over the world and I like them so far. The issue is most of us aren’t *used* to the food y’all have, so we automatically hate it out of bias. Recently I’ve been very curious about Greek food. Also PS, anyone from New York is an asshole, in fact anyone from the East Coast is an asshole.

For those Americans who love Greece you have to see a movie called „my beloved Smyrna“ it’s movie about where I’m from and how one American have save 350.000 people I’m so emotional every time I even thinking about and so respectful about Americans, God bless America 🇺🇸☦️🇬🇷🙏

[@airmag]

Smyrna (Smyrni mou agapimeni) is a total bullsh*t of a movie. It was the Greek army who burned down Smyrna not the Turks. In 1917, Greeks had burned almost half of Thessaloniki to drive Turks out of the city which shows that same technique had been tried in Smyrna as well. You better recommend My Big Fat Greek Wedding 1 and 2. Btw, do not trust America, they've been planning to "use" Greece again in the very near future.

I think that Greece is progressing in many ways in contrast with the USA. State of the Art tech is only available in the bigger Cities. I personally think that the most modern Cities in the world are in Northren Europe, Gulf states, Far-East and Australia. With of course the exception of major Cities in Canada and the US. The reason for that is that the newer cities invest more in diversity of infrastructure and the implementation of technology for communal and collective use. Greece is overdriving this since 2019 by upgrading Green electrcity plants, roads, metro systems. America neglects most of it's infrastructure as long as the electricity works and the Gas Stations are operating, the country will not complain.

[@lyssamax]

American (from Arizona) learning Greek here! Είμαι Αμερικανός (από την Αριζόνα) που μαθαίνει ελληνικά! The topic of Americans being overweight is in part due to the so-called abundance here, but also the sad reality of us largely being reliant on large corporations for all of our food. You have to go out of your way to eat locally-produced foods and it's a lot more expensive than the commercially available options you see in stores. Also, what's approved by the USDA is not in line with a lot of the European nations.. Take McDonald's - you can order a Hot 'n' Spicy here and abroad, but it is not the same product! The further issue of this is that most Americans aren't even aware of these systemic food issues and that's where you get a lot of well-intentioned people who are overweight because we're more at the mercy of big corporations dictating our diets rather than actually being raised to know what real food is. Or for those that do understand, having access to real food has become something only the wealthy (like, upper-middle class and higher) can afford. Also, I agree, we drive way too much. I'd love to see more places (especially in cities) that are more accessible for walking and biking. The USA is just so huge that in some states you're miles between destinations, but also the way the cities are set up is very inconvenient to travel unless you have a car (or it's over 100F for half the year, like where I live)! I think it's also hard to stereotype Americans because each state can vary so much. Like California culture is way different than what you see in Minnesota. In Arizona alone, most of it's an arid desert, but we also have mountains, lakes, and places that snow! I loved watching this video! I know American's get a bad rep in a lot of places but it's always interesting to hear from our friends in other countries! Ευχαριστώ!

You do know that the average Greek citizen works the most hours per week in all of Europe, averaging 33.3 hours per week? Life in Greece is all about work, but the culture is different to the American.

[@user-Prometheus]

@@trelomanga9009 Sorry, there has been an inaccuracy, 33.3 hours per week was based on old data, in 2023 Greece averages 40 hours. Still, the most hardworking country in Europe, and 6 hours more on average than the USA. In countries like Norway and the Netherlands where weekly work hours are the lowest (about 27-31) the culture is different, in Mediterranean countries family ties are much closer. Life in Greece has everything to do about work, it’s just the the culture differs.

[@randomgreekmathematician3159]

Sorry for double posting The words Iran & Persia both carry a tone of mystery & interest to Greeks. It's kind of like what people in the West think about China & Japan (both interesting cultures & civilizations!) The country's regime is perceived as somewhat tough to its opponents but Greek views on it are still somewhat positive as Iran has allied itself to Russia, which has the respect of most Greeks. Now about the Persian people we don't have much opinion as we know few things about Iran. There was that time during 4th grade at school when Greek pupils felt a little proud that Greece beat a stronger country 2.5k years ago, but that's it. We have no ill feelings for the Persian invasion today. Most Greeks don't like history subject much because they found it hard at school & brought bad marks at home. We lack knowledge of Iranian/Persian history. Many Greeks don't even know that Iran is the modern successor state of Persia. That's more or less about the past. If you come to Greece you won't have any problems if you tell people you're Persian. They'll greet you & you won't have problems when asking for help or even socializing with the Greek people :) Iran is an amazing country just like the rest of the world :) :) Have a nice day, Sir!

Η Αμερική ήταν η χώρα της ελευθερίας, της δικαιοσύνης, και των ευκαιριών... Έτσι ήταν στην κοινή συνείδηση όλων, και ιδίως των Ελλήνων όπου χάρη στην δικιά τους εθνική ταυτότητα είχαν περισσότερους λόγους να τους ακουμπάει μία τέτοια εικόνα... Μέχρι που ήρθε ο Μπους. Μετά από αυτά που έγιναν υπό την δικιά του διοίκηση, αυτή η εικόνα της Αμερικής αμαυρώθηκε, κατεδαφίστηκε. Οι Αμερικανοί πλέον ήταν οι κακοί, οι ιμπεριαλιστές, οι κυνικοί. Ο Ελευθέριος Βενιζέλος είχε πει κάποτε πως δεν υπάρχουν εθνικά δίκαια, αλλά μόνο εθνικά συμφέροντα, θέλοντας να δείξει τον ρεαλισμό που επικρατεί στην διεθνή σφαίρα. Ωστόσο για οποιονδήποτε έχει εντρυφήσει στην φιλοσοφική θεμελίωση των θεσμών, της κουλτούρας, αλλά και τις ιστορικές συνθήκες οι οποίες διαμόρφωσαν τον κοινό νού στις Ηνωμένες Πολιτείες, είναι κάτι παραπάνω από προφανές ότι αυτή η χώρα είναι από τις πρώτες αν όχι η πρώτη που θα είχε ένσταση με αυτόν τον απόλυτο αφορισμό, και νομίζω δικαίως. Αν και οι ΗΠΑ δεν ήταν αυτό που ήταν κάποτε, αυτή η παλιά βασισμένη σε αξίες και στην ηθική φιλελεύθερη μυθολογία γύρω από τις Ηνωμένες Πολιτείες μου φαίνεται ότι έχει ακόμα και σήμερα ερείσματα αλλά και πράγματα να προσφέρει μέσα από τον ιδεαλισμό που γεννά στις καρδιές των ανθρώπων όλου του κόσμου, όπως γέννησε και στις καρδιές των Ελλήνων κιόλας απο τα χρόνια του 1821. Αυτή η ιδέα, αυτή η μυθολογία, αυτή η φιλελεύθερη φαντασίωση μπορεί ακόμα να προσφέρει ακόμα και αν δεν είναι πραγματική.

Γεια σου Δημήτρη, πώς είσαι; Αυτό το επεισόδιο του Easy Greek το βλέπω για δεύτερη φορά και το λατρεύω για άλλη μια φορά. Έστειλα ένα σχόλιο την πρώτη φορά και αισθάνομαι υποχρεωμένος να στείλω ένα ξανά. Πρώτα λίγα για το ποιος είμαι. Είμαι Ελληνοαμερικανός δεύτερης γενιάς που μεγάλωσε στη μητροπολιτική περιοχή της Βοστώνης της Μασαχουσέτης. Λέγοντας δεύτερη γενιά εννοώ ότι όλοι οι παππούδες μου ήταν από την Ελλάδα και οι γονείς μου ήταν η πρώτη γενιά που γεννήθηκε στην Αμερική. Κάτι άλλο λοιπόν, είχα την τύχη να μπορέσω να εργαστώ και να ζήσω στην Ελλάδα για 10 χρόνια και πήρα την ελληνική μου υπηκοότητα. Γιόρτασα. Αλίμονο, θα είμαι πάντα το Ελληνοαμερικανό αγόρι που μεγάλωσε στο Έβερετ της Μασαχουσέτης και όσο κι αν θέλω να είμαι σαν τους Έλληνες της Ελλάδας και να μιλάω και να επικοινωνώ σαν γηγενής Έλληνας. Απλώς θα είμαι πάντα αυτό το Ελληνοαμερικανό αγόρι. Αυτό το επεισόδιο του Easy Greek για το τι σκέφτονται ορισμένοι Έλληνες για την Αμερική το βρίσκω πολύ γοητευτικό και κατατοπιστικό. Για να δώσουμε μια μικρή προοπτική, πέρυσι στη Βοστώνη έγιναν περίπου 50 δολοφονίες σε έναν πληθυσμό κάτω των 500.000 κατοίκων. Ολόκληρη η πολιτεία της Μασαχουσέτης έχει αρκετά χαμηλό ποσοστό δολοφονιών σε σύγκριση με άλλες πολιτείες και υπάρχουν 49 περισσότερες Πολιτείες, μπορείτε να φανταστείτε; Ορισμένες Πολιτείες έχουν τρομακτικά ποσά δολοφονιών. Επίσης στις Ηνωμένες Πολιτείες της Αμερικής, σχεδόν το 25% των Αμερικανών ενηλίκων είναι επισιτιστική ανασφάλεια. Ίσως αυτό μπορεί να δώσει μια μικρή εικόνα για την Αμερική που δεν είναι τόσο ρομαντική.

America is one United country about the same size of Europe. It’s divided into 50 states (plus territories like Puerto Rico and Guam). I always find it interesting for Europeans to consider America though because it would be like asking Americans their opinion of Europe and then pretending that all of Europe was one monolithic culture. Not an impossible question, but it would assume the American was familiar with all those various cultures that make up Europe and the fact that they are different. Same is true in the reverse.

The Albanians, OK, I get it, they might have this mindset, I don't know. At least you were good enough to ask him about his passport. You asked him for the same reason I found it foul. You found it at least strange, likewise, which made you wonder.

It's really hard for Greeks to judge Americans, because we're so immersed in Americanism we've basically swallowed America whole lol. Recently there was a TV music contest, and a little gypsy kid sang a 60's song of an old folk singer, and everyone was so moved and cheered, and I suddenly realised that gypsies are the only ones who have preserved Greek musicality, because they don't have TV. If you pick out a random person on the street and tell them to sing a song, it will probably be an English one, and even if Greek still not sounding Greek, more like an English song translated into Greek. Our source of information and role models stopped being our society and surroundings, and started being TV and the internet. I was born in Athens in 1978 and basically watched the same TV as an American of that age. If you ask me what's your favourite TV show or movie it'll probably be an American sitcom or a Hollywood movie, with a few exceptions. So in conclusion the hardest question for a Greek person isn't what Americans are like, but what Greeks are like. And this is our challenge for the future, to redefine being Greek, and not to pretend to be a Parisian or a New Yorker.

I think this is a challenge for all past-looking cultures, such as ours.
