Can we just give props to this channel for their sincerety and respect they strive for on touchy topics!?❤
The comment about surface friendships in USA (like Colombia, etc.) rings true, even for an American! “Let’s do lunch,” says it all. Not happening.
Yeah, i always thought that was fake. I can’t stand fake and these will be the same people complaining why they are alone. smh
Good vid. Helpful.
Here are some European countries (specifically southern) where you can make friends;
– Italy🇮🇹
– Spain🇪🇸
– Greece🇬🇷
– Malta🇲🇹
Spain and Italy really depends where in the country, in the south its way easier than in other parts. For example I live in Palma and its hard to meet local friends here, even the Mallorquin and other Spanish people say it
Even Brazilians have a real problem with Rio 🤣 The problem is that hellish place, hahahaha! The culture there is completely different from the rest of the country and everyone else seem to think it represents the country. It has a lot to do with Rio being the nation capital in the past.
🫤I know and visited Brazil more than my country, is not just Rio, all Brazil more or less is the same, it got worse in last years and still going on the negative trend:
extreme misandrism, crime, hate, fake friendliness, they fake it’s your friend but only to exploit you (asking to send 20 reais to buy beers after some days of communication and met only 1 time), degradation culture, favelas, thefts, cannot walk on the streets freely without worrying that someone will steal your phone
( I got a theft attempt of my phone while I was walking on the carnival area, witnessed with my eyes how they steal an other person not during carnival)
Most of people are overweight, tattooed like just escaped from jail, the food very bad quality.
Very sad situation.
I lived in Portugal for the first time, about 4 years, and now a few months in the last 3 years. I think it differs in what part of Portugal you are in. In Lisbon, I think tourism has gotten so extreme that people aren’t as kind and genuine as they were before
Thanks for the shoutout for my comment in the last video
I thought it was really interesting. Thanks for sharing!
I met some Taiwanese kids in NYC and they were the loveliest! Very nice and friendly!
Marina, come back to Portugal ! 😁
Interested in the customer service. Best customer service goes to the USA and best customer service has to go to Portugal in Europe but yes I have never seen so many Portuguese flags and so many dislike against foreigners. We are having the same issue as Mexico I suppose only in a tiny country such a huge influx of people with no connection to Portuguese history or culture and with other religions seems to be causing huge discontentment!
VIVA MEXICOOOOOOOO!!!!! TE AMO MEXICOOOOOOO!!!!!
🤷♂️About Mexico: i went to a dance club in Cancun in the resident area where only Mexicans go, an ugly girl approached me and I rejected her and after some time 2 thugs came to attack me and punched me, I told the security but they said can’t do nothing and it’s better if I leave.
Never happened this in many countries I have been.
pleeeeeeease make the more in-depth video about mexcioooooo pleaseeeee 🥲🥲🥲🥲 I want to hear your stories!…. the pros and cons of living in Mexico please!❤
Very realistic!
You really should visit Kenya.
I’ve been there a couple of times. Also worked with a number of Kenyans. They are generally very friendly people.
I once spent New Year’s eve with a bunch of Kenyans in another country. Had a great time. Never spoke to them again.
14:55 I would have been very surprised…
Do the video about the best and worst customer service
