hey YouTube welcome back to my channel my name is Leah and today I am talking
to you guys about what I miss about America so I have been abroad for almost
a year I haven't gone back to America at all and I've done tons of travel around
this kind of general area mainly like Europe I dabbled in a little bit of
Africa and the Middle East doing all that I realized and I actually kind of
Miss America I never really admit it or talk about it because I don't know I
mean I'm packed up all my stuff and moved here to like have a better life
because I was like I hate America right now and then I'm here and I'm like hey I
kind of Miss America so I didn't want to admit that or tell anybody about that
but that is the truth I actually am starting to miss America and today I'm
going to share with you the top 5 things I miss about America so much and that
I've completely taken for granted number 5
the convenience and accessibility of everything like I never took that for
granted as much I feel like America is one of them only places where everything
is just open like everything is open you can go to a pharmacy 24 hours you can
always pick up something that you need like toilet paper food places are open
all the time not just that just things that you need in general stores that you
need in general clothing stores and stuff they're open for pretty late 10:00
o'clock you're never at a point where you can't get something because of the
time crunch but here in Europe will specifically Switzerland stuff closes
early so you really have to plan and you know me I'm such a spontaneous
individual so no I don't know that Thursday afternoon I need to go to the
store and get like some green beans no I don't know that but so that's really
hard that just doesn't fit with me I'm spontaneous I don't have everything
planned out I live day by day so accessibility is really hard here and I
miss that so much in America so number four so this is a big one actually but
in America there's actually not as much smoke as here in Europe like I'm still
like it baffles me everyday how much smoke there is and I feel like in
America we've kind of moved forward we have realized that smoking is bad and
you see less and less people smoking also there are so many like laws where
you can smoke where you can't smoke you have to smoke you can only smoke a
certain distance from buildings so that you know other people don't get
secondhand smoke but here there's nothing like that I literally have
smoked like a pack of cigarette of secondhand smoke every week and that's
not even an exaggeration like there's no avoiding it it's actually funny because
most days I inhale cigarette smoke before I even have breakfast and it's
disgusting yeah it's just gross and then also I feel like in America we are more
aware of you know the the health concern with smoking because here in Europe I
see people around babies like smoking a cigarette like this close I like holding
the baby and then they're like smoking and puffing in the baby's face and
nobody's saying anything it's like normal or they're like at a restaurant
you know because you can smoke at the restaurants outside in Europe and
they're just smoking and there's kids all around and like every adult is
smoking at the table and I'm just like wait what what is
I think you know um so that is a big thing like I really miss America for
that like I've never had to smoke I smell this much smoke ever ever ever
like you can avoid smoke in America if you want to number three black people I
know that's a weird thing to just say but I miss African Americans African
Americans are different than black people in any part of the world it's
just like I don't know how to explain it like I feel like we have so many inside
jokes we have we have a culture there is a culture there is an African American
culture and although I wasn't ever such a big part of it because I wasn't I mean
I grew up my parents were white I didn't have that many black friends ever but
once again it's like the things that I take for granted in America I really
miss now because now I really miss it because there's nobody that can relate
to me at all with you know anything and there are black people here but they're
from Africa and it's there's a disconnect like we don't really relate
like I don't I didn't grow up in Africa in America were like so separated from
our ancestors so I don't really connect with Africans that much when it comes to
like wanting to be connected with my roots I guess which sounds really messed
up right like but it's the truth like hanging out with African Americans
I feel so comfortable and yeah like my friend came to visit me and she's
African American and oh my god we had like the best time and I felt so
comfortable and I could be completely be myself around her and it's like yeah it
was just it just made me realize wow I really miss black people in America like
I really really do being around a whole bunch of people that are not like you it
makes you realize how special and important that is number two the people
I miss the people in America I never realized how friendly Americans were
until I have been here in Europe I mean there are places in Europe where people
are really friendly like Spain Italy and Portugal like the southern part but
still like not on the level of Americans like there so just pretty friendly just
overall in general we're a friendly country and I really missed that just
just a Hello a smile really means so much and you don't realize that until
you don't have that and then the last thing that is so so very important the
biggest thing is just outgoing attitude of Americans the most part in America
everyone is just outgoing they're just kind of relaxed or just chill and I mean
that's kind of what we're known for and I missed that because you can sense
the difference like I don't really try to go out here anymore because it's just
like for what like nobody is even mingling like and it's just I feel like
nobody's even letting loose completely when they land in America we're just
letting loose we're having a good time so I missed that just also just being
outgoing in general like I'm really spontaneous and random and impulsive and
I feel like that was nothing norm but it was it's not like a big deal in America
because there's many people that are like that too but here it's just like no
it's just not the same at all it feels good to have people that you
can just be spontaneous and crazy with I just missed that I feel like there's so
much of that in America that you don't realize is actually special until you're
without it but that's pretty much what I miss about
America the most still doesn't mean I'm going back there I'm not moving back
there I love being abroad because I'm learning
so much about the world and about myself so I really love it but yeah I mean
America is my home link I'm really sorry America for dissing you
like that my bad but yeah you're still right here in my heart
