USA news on Youtube Nov 6 2017

How in the world did I make it through college without leggings?

Hey everyone! I'm Dana and you're watching Wanted Adventure Living Abroad.

The clothing that I wear has changed, I would say, in some ways quite dramatically since

moving to Germany, but one of the big reasons for that change is because I lived in South

Florida in the U.S., so I wore a lot of T-shirts, tank-tops, tube-tops, and T-shirt, tank-top

and tube-top dresses there, and here in Germany, I wear a lot of long-sleeve shirts, sweaters,

and the biggest, warmest jackets available.

But there are other ways that my style has changed that don't have so much to do with

the temperature difference or even the fact that clothing style has changed over the past

9 years.

But rather these changes have a lot to do with the influence that living in Germany

has had on my style.

For one, as I mentioned in the video on useless things that I brought to Europe and basically

never needed, in the U.S. I used to wear high heels quite often.

If I was going out for the evening, going to a nice restaurant, celebrating something,

there's a good chance that I was probably going to wear a pair of heels.

I moved to Europe, brought some of the heels with me, and wore them a grand total of

not very many times.

In the U.S. I basically drove everywhere, but now here in Germany I'm walking or trying

to balance on the U-bahn, not tip over, there are cobblestone streets, which I have enough

problems trying to walk on with flat shoes.

So yeah, I pretty much don't wear heels anymore just about ever and my feet definitely

thank me for it.

And in the U.S. if I wasn't wearing heels, I was probably wearing running shoes like

this, or maybe some nicer flats, a little bit fancier flats like this, whereas now I

love, love, love, love, love shoes like this.

These little low-top casual sneaker shoes.

I love them so much!

The kinds of pants that I wear has also changed.

In the U.S. pants that get a little wider at the bottom are pretty common.

I know that I haven't lived in the U.S. for around 9 years, but the last time I was

back I made a point to look at people's pants, and while, yes, I did notice more skinny

pants than when I left the country 9 years ago, I still saw a lot of people in the U.S.

wearing pants that got slightly wider at the bottom.

Not just jeans but also dress pants.

So yeah, in the U.S. all of my pants were like that.

They came out wider at the bottom.

Whereas in Europe, now, I almost exclusively wear skinny jeans and skinny pants.

They all come in tight at the bottom.

And I also started wearing pants of different colors.

I don't know if this fad swept through the USA too, whenever I went back to the U.S.,

I never noticed anyone wearing colorful pants, and when I lived there I certainly didn't

notice anyone wearing red pants or green pants, but in Germany they were.

Also guys. So everyone.

Everyone was wearing colorful pants, and so I took that on as well, and I started wearing

red pants and green pants and blue pants, and all different colors of pants.

Another big way that my fashion has changed, and yeah, this one does have to do with the

weather, but it's such a huge part of my look now so I want to mention it anyway:

wearing scarves.

When I bought my plane ticket to move to Europe 9 years ago, I owned one, single scarf.

And after my goodbye party in Florida, I owned three scarves because one of my friends gave

me these two scarves as a going away present.

So then I owned three. I moved to Europe with three scarves.

And now I have so, so many scarves. This is just a tiny look at my scarves.

I have so many scarves that I have trouble figuring out how to organize them all.

So if anyone has a clever way of organizing their scarves please let me know in the comments.

That would be much appreciated by me and Mr. German Man.

We don't know what to do with all my scarves. Thank you.

And also, the funny thing about scarves is that I've made a few videos wearing one

and then I've seen people commenting in the comments about how they love how I tied

the scarf, and I'm honestly so flattered, because when I first moved to Germany, I remember

Mr. German Man had to help me tie my scarves, because I always made it look like I mess,

I had no idea what I was doing.

I could just wrap them around my neck million times, and that was it.

That was my only move. Just keep wrapping.

And over time I just kind of found my own way of tying them, but it definitely was not

something that came naturally to me.

Another addition to my clothing lineup that did not exist in my wardrobe in Florida: leggings.

Now I love leggings. I wear them so, so, so, so much. In Florida my go-to was jeans.

But now it is definitely leggings.

I wear them all the time, and I don't know how I ever lived without them.

They would have been great in college. Leggings.

And lastly, the kind of bras that I wear has changed as well.

In the U.S., or at least in South Florida, I grew up feeling like everything in the world

around me -- TV, ads, billboards, and so much more, it was always telling me, it was screaming

in my face: bigger boobs are better.

And so in Florida I wore a lot of push-up bras, and they gave me that look that I wanted,

or the look that I felt like I was being told I needed to have, but they were so, so uncomfortable.

And not right away, but after living in Germany for a little while, I grew to feel more comfortable

about not wearing push-up bras.

The whole "your boobs have to be as big as possible" sentiment didn't seem to be pushed

in my face so much from all angles here in Germany.

At least to me, it felt like in Germany it was more like, you are who you are.

Big boobs, small boobs, whatever; you are who you are and that's okay.

At least that's the feeling that I've gotten here in Germany.

So my question for you is: How have your clothes changed over the years, and have you ever

experienced a change in wardrobe after moving to a new place?

So in Florida I wore a lot of...

And these don't really even technically count as two I think.

Because you have to put them together to get any warmth out of them.

How did I make it through...

JUST IN: Justice Thomas Issues Shock Message to NFL Protesters, This Is Powerful.

Former President Obama won his way to the White House by promising America a "post-racial"

future.

Since 2008, race relations in America have deteriorated considerably, and the recent

spate of anti-American displays in the NFL have only made things worse.

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, a well-known and respected black conservative, recently

went on Fox News and denounced the national anthem protests for dividing America further.

Thomas asked rhetorically, "What binds us?

What do we all have in common anymore?"

It used to be that all Americans could rally around the flag — and our national anthem.

That is no longer the case.

"When I was a kid, even as we had laws that held us apart there were things that we held

dear that we all had in common," said Thomas, who grew up in the Jim Crow South.

Well-paid athletes who have lived in the most egalitarian America in history are now the

ones complaining the loudest about racism.

Tragically, many African Americans agree with the protestors and not with Justice Thomas.

A recent poll found that a majority of African Americans support the idea of Colin Kaepernick,

the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback, who began protesting the national anthem in

2016, becoming the leader of radical group Black Lives Matter.

ESPN, Deadspin, and other mainstream media outlets have also rushed to the defense of

the protestors by claiming that President Trump's condemnation of the protests is

emblematic of the White House's embrace of "white supremacy."

The real tragedy of the NFL protests is that they have been copied by ordinary Americans,

and even children.

In Illinois, one football team full of eight-year-olds decided to follow Kaepernick's lead by protesting

the national anthem.

One six-year-old in a Floridian kindergarten also took up the protest mantel, thus showing

that the NFL has far too much power in American culture.

These protests have also convinced some American millennials that civic nationalism, or the

idea that all Americans are united by birth, not race, is a dead end.

In its place, members of the radical right have offered up racial nationalism.

Others, who want to keep the United States united, worry that identity politics exacerbated

by the national anthem protests will ultimately result in the birth of a military dictatorship

that forces racial harmony through brute force.

There are real world examples of this happening, namely in Latin America.

Justice Thomas' words are disturbing, for he warns that a lack of American unity around

shared symbols and history can only lead to balkanization.

Thomas fears that America may be on the verge of repeating Yugoslavia, the former communist

dictatorship that collapsed into genocidal chaos when ethnic nationalism took hold among

Serbs, Croats, Bosniaks, Slovenes, and Kosovar Albanians.

Judge Thomas is taking a stand.

Do you agree with him?

America's multi-racial character has been precarious since 1965.

It has been pushed closer to the tipping point by the Democrats, who have used racial grievance

politics in order to shore up their base among illegal and legal immigrants, women, and ethno-religious

minorities.

Thomas' words are a dire warning.

How many Americans are listening?

What do you think about this?

5 Things I LOVED & HATED in Florida - Duration: 6:56.

Huge flying cockroaches, but at least there's the beach, right?

Hey everyone, Dana here!

Before moving to Europe, I lived in sunny South Florida, and there were some things

that I loved about life in South Florida

and there were some things that I definitely could have done without.

So let's take a peek behind the curtain at life in South Florida.

And speaking of sunny South Florida, the weather was a huge plus.

Before moving to Europe, I had actually no idea how much I took the weather

in South Florida for granted.

It was just sunny so much of the time.

Like for example, I would plan a pool party in the summer and sure, it was probably going to

rain for about an hour in the afternoon, but other than that, you had a pretty good

chance of it being sunny weather.

Most of the time when planning events, especially events not in the summer, so not during the

rainy season, it just never really even crossed my mind that the weather might not be good.

Like, sure, okay, yes; sometimes it surprised us and the weather wasn't good, but I would

say most of the time the weather was just pretty nice.

But in the summer, yes, sometimes a little bit too hot.

You had to kind of work around the heat.

As I mentioned in this video about how hot it got in South Florida, it got really hot

in South Florida, and you can check that out for more information.

And what goes great together with sunny weather?

Why the beach of course.

When I was younger, looking back on it now, I feel like I just didn't really go to the

beach enough, nor did I appreciate it enough, but as I got older then I really started loving

the beach, and now it's one of the things that I super, super miss about Florida.

I just love walking along the beach, listening to the relaxing sound of the waves,

the seagulls overhead. Yeah. I really miss the beach.

It's one of the things I really miss about Florida.

But something kind of shocking about the beach in South Florida is that in the summer the

water is actually really warm in a lot of places.

It's often pretty shallow water, and at one in the afternoon it can definitely feel

like bath water.

You're chilling on the sand, get a little warm and think like: ah, I'm going to go cool

off in the water.

Nope, that often just backfires, and it makes you even warmer after you go for a dip in

the water than before.

Okay, so now how about something that I did not like about Florida: the bugs.

Cockroaches. These huge ones with wings, they would fly right at you sometimes.

Fire ants. Had to make sure you didn't step on the wrong pile

or they'd crawl up you leg and attack.

Humongous mosquitoes.

Tiny little ants that we called sugar ants. And more!

South Florida was home...or is still home, but I'm not there, to lots and lots of bugs.

We had to keep basically everything food-wise either in the fridge or sealed away in a plastic

bag in the panty.

You leave the raisins sitting in the pantry not sealed in a plastic bag?

There's a good chance that they would then be crawling by morning.

Another thing that I really hated about living in South Florida was the intense focus on beauty.

In South Florida there was a lot of pressure coming from all over the place to look perfect, flawless.

No flaws allowed.

Mr. German Man was pretty shocked when he came back with me to Florida for the first

time and we listened to the radio in the car and when the ads came on it really felt like

every other advertisement was for some kind of cosmetic surgery, botox, teeth whitening,

hair removal, hair implants, liposuction, permanent make up...the list goes on.

And as if the radio advertisements weren't enough, the road, itself, was plastered with these

huge billboards advertising basically the same thing using the most beautiful, "perfect"

models to show you what you could be, "should be" of course.

So that was a pretty hard place to spend my teen years, with that kind of intense focus

on looking perfect, feeling pushed toward the need to strive for this impossible perfection

all the time; all around me.

And lastly, speaking of driving around in the car, just driving there in general was, yeah, bad.

First of all, the road rage was intense and scary.

And then it also just seemed like so many people in South Florida drove wild and crazy.

And learning to drive in South Florida, the catch phrase that was always thrown around

was "defensive driving."

I was told over and over and over again that in South Florida I needed to learn

how to drive defensively. Yeah, it was just a very, um, intense place to drive.

And whenever I drove out of town and then came back to South Florida, I didn't need any

mile markers on the highway to tell me that I was almost there.

I knew that I was almost home when the driving changed.

I could really feel that shift that suddenly people started driving really crazy.

So my question for you is: Have you ever been to Florida?

What did you love and hate about it?

And what do you love and hate about the place where you grew up?

You want to leave those...nah.

It just never really even crossed my...

January was a little cold. I'm not a very good snapper. These are my best snaps though.

There were a lot of bugs.

Maradona's 5 FIFA World Cup™ Moments - Duration: 4:30.

It was against Hungary in 82. The ball was there and I just dived in head first. I didn't care

if the Hungarian defender was going to leave his studs on my head. I wasn't bothered.

How did it feel to score your first goal at the World Cup proper?

It felt amazing when the ball bounced up off the keeper and I beat my marker to it.

It's like touching the sky. It's like... There are so many things that go through your head.

There are times when the opposition goes too far. They want to make fun of you and knock the ball around.

Falcao started to say, 'Knock it around! Knock it around! Knock it around! Knock it around!' And I was fed up of them

making fun of me. I just wanted to get hold of Falcao

anywhere I could and at any price.

They played a one-two and I said to myself, 'This one's mine.'

And it was Batista, of course. It was Batista. When I saw Falcao I said to

myself, 'What have you done, you idiot? You kicked the wrong one!' It was awful.

It's the best goal I ever scored, no question. We all dreamed about dribbling past the whole lot of them, including Shilton.

I'm still looking for an explanation for what

Shilton did. I can't find one. I don't know what he did.

I sold him a dummy, yes. I sold him a dummy, but he's still got to block part of the goal from me.

And when I went by him I clipped it with the outside of my boot. Butcher came in and whacked me

on my right side. It was a straight red. It didn't bother me.

Brazil had us under siege the whole game.

They didn't give us any space. The thing was, a light just switched on inside me.

That's when I woke up and said, 'I'm going to take them on. Let's see what happens.'

I see this flash of white [Caniggia] ahead of me, but I overrun the ball a bit. So I hit it

with my right and it goes straight through Ricardo Rocha's legs.

I was lying on the ground shouting, 'Hit it! Hit it! Hit it!' But he didn't. He feinted and then he feinted again

and again. We were all waiting on him! And so, we won with that goal from Cani, who really made us suffer.

This is very special, because that penalty was the toughest one of my career, because

I'd just missed against Yugoslavia. I put the ball down and

Zenga says to me, 'I know you.' And I say to him, 'I know you better.' And when I stuck it

past Zenga's foot I said, 'Ciao'. It was me who knocked Italy out because Serena missed his

penalty just after that. So it was me who knocked the Italians out of the World Cup in 1990.
