Hi guys! Welcome to my channel! I'm Yugene :)
Today，we are gonna talk about
five things that were hard to get used to when first came to America
And some of them I still can't get used to
Let's get started!
Is there anyone like me?
When go out for shopping
Already calculated how much I need to pay
but still the total price is not what I calculated
Thank you for shopping here. That's a total of 28.96.
What? I thought it's 25.50?
Plus tax
Surprise! (I accidentally deleted the sound of -s TOT）
When go out for shopping in America
pay for sales tax is a must!
And sales tax is different from state to state
Also, it will be adjust a little every year.
But some states, people do not need to pay it.
In 2017, there are five states which do not have the sales tax.
And they are
Alaska
Delaware
Montana
New Hampshire
and Oregon
Moreover
If you are a resident from these five states
(Even) if you move to other states and live
you still enjoy the same benefit
Second: Giving tips
Americans give tips while eating out
Mmm how to say it, it's a tradition
or a habit
Actually tipping is an encouragement and appreciation
Thanks for the helping from waitress/waiter
or appreciate the food, decoration and atmosphere of the restaurant.
But usually when people who do not have the habit of tipping
there are two situations will occur
or like this
Third, huge gaps of the toilet doors
Everything is big in America
House is big
food serving size is big
size for clothes, shoes are big
Even the gaps on the toilet doors are big!
For real!
Any bathroom that isn't from your home
gaps are all like this
As a girl, the gaps on the toilet doors in America are basically can fit in a little finger
And there was a time when I can fit in my index finger
Using the bathroom outside for the first time in America
It was really hard to get used to
It's kinda
mmm...feeling kinda uneasy
No privacy because of the gaps
Feels like everyone can see from outside
So...
It's really...awkward
Actually, you relax and use the bathroom
But still, we want our privacy
Forth, there are no subtitle when watching the movie in theaters
English sub? No
Nope!!!
The only time when subtitle available, is the time when it has foreign language (in the movie)
Because of that, some international students don't fancy to go watch a movie in theaters
Fifth, drink cold water at anytime
No matter which state you come from in America
Americans tends to drink iced water
I used to live in Wisconsin
Even it was freezing cold outside, still, nobody drank hot water
Everyone was drinking iced water
...iced water with a lot of ice
And there was only me, drinking hot water alone
Then I felt weird, and I asked my American friend
And she said
Oh! We drink hot water with tea and apple cider somethin' like that.
Well, what about just drink hot water alone?
Hmmm
That's not water, only iced water called water
Well, maybe Americans don't like to drink just hot water
And I proved that when I dine out
So, what would you like to drink today
Hot water please
Ughhhh hot water? (ps. American restaurant provide you iced water unless you ask for hot)
Yea
That's all I have for you guys today
Thank you guys so much for watching! (I deleted the sound of -ing. Again, by accidentally)(´థ△థ)σ wanna cry
Hope you enjoy this video
If you did, please give a thumb up and subscribe my channel
I'll see you next time
Bye~~~
You know, you are not forced to give tips
But
There was a time when I eat out in a restaurant
Korean BBQ
So I went there, and by the time we needed to pay.
They put the tips and the meal price together. They are tied up together.
And so I had to pay a total of $20.
And I'm like...what？
