23 Facts About the UK That Confuse Foreigners
The United Kingdom might not seem like a place that could offer you anything more exciting than a cup of tea and some gloomy weather, but this place does, in fact, have its oddities. Did you know, for example, that Queen Elizabeth II can travel without a passport? Or that the national animal of Scotland is the unicorn? Or that from 1066 to 1362, the predominant language of England was actually French? Then let's see what else is interesting about the United Kingdom!

SUMMARY:
- Big Ben isn't the name of the clock or the tower it’s on – it’s the bell inside!
- At an astounding 443 feet (135 m) in height, the London Eye is the 4th tallest Ferris wheel in the world. A single rotation on this bad boy takes roughly 30 minutes to complete.
- The towering British Library in King’s Cross, London has lots and lots of books for you to enjoy. It’s got over 170 million items in its catalog!
- London has THE oldest and one of the largest underground transport systems on our planet. The London “tube” includes 270 fully functioning stations and at least 40 more that aren’t even in use.
- In Scotland, you can take the world’s shortest flight between Westray and the Papa Westray Islands. Get ready because this flight will take…just 2 minutes!
- Make sure you don’t stick a stamp with the Queen upside down on an envelope in the UK. Otherwise, it’s considered an act of treason!
- It’s illegal to wear an armor suit into the House of Parliament. I know, I know, it’s always been on your bucket list, but you’ll just have to forget about it and wear your armor somewhere else!
- The British drink it more than any other nation in the world. For instance, they drink 20 times more tea than Americans do!
- If you make it to 100 years old in the UK, The Queen will send you a telegram and wish you a happy birthday. You can get another one if you celebrate your 105th birthday, and still more each year after that! How thoughtful!
- You won’t find any US eggs in the UK. They’re illegal since they get washed.
- Speaking of strange laws, it’s actually illegal to go to the cinema on a Sunday in Northern Ireland. You can even be fined up to £50, or roughly $65, for breaking this law!
- In the early 1800s, just about a quarter of all women in Britain were named Mary. Sophia has held onto the #1 spot for 9 years in a row, and Mary didn’t even make it to the top 25 in 2018!

21 Things in the US That Puzzle Most Foreigners
When you live in a country for many years, everything looks ordinary and familiar. But an outsider will always spot some curious quirks in your customs and behaviors that make them think, “What’s going on here?” Life in the US can puzzle newcomers in many ways, from buying foods and magazines in a pharmacy to deep-frying almost anything you can think of.
For example, if you’re not from the US, it may be puzzling to walk into a pharmacy and see aisles and aisles of over-the-counter meds, toys, makeup, clothes, and even groceries! In America, if a restaurant doesn’t offer free refills on fountain drinks, it’s kind of strange. But in other countries, once you buy one beverage, that’s it! And Americans speak so loud compared to other countries. Whether it’s talking on your cell phone or chatting with a friend over lunch, Americans seem to really like projecting their voice.

#USA #traditions #americans
Music by Epidemic Sound
SUMMARY:
- When you go shopping in the US and see a price tag says $14.88, don’t expect to pay 14.88 at the register! Sales tax is NOT included in the price of an item!
- A lot of Americans don’t feel the need to take long vacations, so they often let vacation and sick hours pile up without ever using them. Plus, most employers only give you 2 weeks out of the year!
- In the States, this red plastic cup is synonymous with “party on, dude!” But other countries apparently don’t recognize this cup to mean the same thing.
- Whether it’s an ugly sweater from Grandma or a heinous pair of earrings from an ex, if you don’t like it, you can just return it!
- Cab drivers, servers, hairdressers – you gotta tip ‘em! Tips are acceptable for almost any service in the US and sometimes consist of 25% of the bill!
- Speaking of drinks, if it’s not a hot coffee or cocoa, then it’s probably got ice in it. Tea, coffee, lemonade, soda, water – Americans like it on the rocks!
- Americans must have an aversion to being hot! In many parts of Europe, people simply don’t use air conditioning as much as they do in the States.
- So many visitors to the US get really confused by the month-day-year thing because most parts of the world write the day, then the month, and finally the year.
- Walk into any grocery store aisle, and you’ll notice at least 10 different options for cookies, crackers, or cereal.
- When getting into a cab, it’s customary in the States to scoot on into the back seat. But in countries like New Zealand and Australia, riding anywhere but shotgun can be a little rude.

yeah that sales tax not being included in the price seems 100% crazy. - Merkavar (original video commenter)
I never knew these were weird! How... weird.
From Americans not taking long vacation time due to pressures at work and in their life, blasting air conditioning during the summers, sales taxes not being included on store items until you check out, and the list goes on!

17 House Details in the US That Puzzle Foreigners
The Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave… and apparently huge freezing-cold houses with weird sockets? What’s so strange about American homes? Well, when non-American people find themselves in American houses they often point out how bizarre some things are.
Wearing shoes inside is one of the things that confuse foreigners, cause most of the world has a pretty strict policy about taking your shoes off at the front door. Also, Americans usually don't have tea kettle in the kitchen, and their toilet bowls are full of water. Interested? So let's see what an ordinary American home looks like!

Music by Epidemic Sound
SUMMARY:
- The typical American home is pretty big and spacious compared to other countries.
- There are closets for clothes in each bedroom, usually one near the front door for coats and shoes, one in the bathroom or hallway for towels, one in the kitchen in the form of a pantry.
- Speaking of rooms, there’s also usually one just for doing laundry. Also, most Americans have both a washer AND a separate dryer, and they tend to be big too!
- A lot of American homes have gorgeous finished basements that serve as another living space. It might be in the form of a guest room or a recreational area to hang out in.
- Fire safety is taken so seriously in the States that landlords can get in big trouble if they don’t immediately fix a non-working smoke alarm for their tenants.
- Low-sitting toilets actually serve a purpose – being closer to the ground is a healthier and more natural way to, ya know, do your numbers.
- In the US, sinks always have just one faucet, and you can customize the temperature of the water however you like.
- Most families are totally ok with wearing shoes inside around the house, as long as they’re not muddy or anything. Sure, there are those American families that don’t do it.
- Apparently in Europe, you have a switch to either allow the power to flow by turning a button on or cutting it by switching it off. In America, you don’t have this option.
- Garbage disposals are a lot more common in the States. In fact, over 50% of American homes have one.
- Americans really do love to display the ol’ Star-Spangled Banner, so most homes here have at least one hanging outside the house.
- Americans like to take care of their yard. Plus, most neighborhoods have rules about it!

10 Things Americans Do That Confuse The REST OF THE WORLD!
Everyone knows Americans do things a bit against the grain.
People of the Internet confess their more interesting habits...
1. Sugar and salt
Americans have a tendency to dump salt on everything and use the sugar liberally. Most foreigners eat their cuisine and are...not enthused.
2. Driving
Pretty much everywhere else, trains or public transportation get you from Point A to Point B. Not here! Americans rely solely on their own, or friend's transport. The exhaust fumes are amazing.
3. Graduations
Should graduating be a thing? Why would you get a ceremony for something you should have done? I must admit, I did not go to my own graduation because I could not endure the thought of sitting through a six-hour ceremony.
4. Drinking
If you are old enough to die for your country, you should be old enough to enjoy a cold one. Enough said. My Dad was drafted to Vietnam before he could have a drink with his buddies. Most civilized nations agree that a legal adult can enjoy a beer.
5. Ice
The first time I left the country, I had no idea ice was not a common denominator. When I went south of the equator, I had to bring my own ice. I didn't even realize this was a thing. I do appreciate cold drinks, but this isn't global.
6. Teeth
My dental hygiene game stays on point. I maxed out a credit card to get my teeth cleaned. This is not the way the rest of the world does it. Only in America does this cost $200! In some European nations, it is said that if you have a perfect smile, it can be off-putting to people.
7. Food
Food should nourish the temple upon which it was built. Americans missed the memo that you don't eat junk and prosper. I am a firm proponent in nourishing the temple, but much of my country is not on par with me.
8. Water
Perhaps one of the most appalling things is that Americans waste water by taking it out of a bottle. If there is absolutely nothing wrong with the tap, why would you not use a reusable container and refill? I must admit my bias, coming from Memphis, but our water is pristine.
9. Holidays
Just ask us about paid maternity leave. Six weeks at best? And no father is involved in the making of this equation. This is only for the mother. We're obviously slacking here.
10. Taxes
Americans put the actual price on the shelve as opposed to the cash register price. When you factor in tax, it is different which can be quite baffling to foreigners. You would think what you see is what you get, but apparently not.
Do you agree with any of these people's opinions?

10 Things You Should NEVER Do in the United States ???????? The Don'ts of Visiting America
In today's travel vlog, we discuss 10 things you should never do in the United States, the Don'ts of Visiting America.
Just like any country there are things you should not do in the United States of America - I know that other countries are in America but the term has become slang for the United States. What things you should not do in the United States was fun to put together. I tried to keep it general since the US is so big and so culturally different depending on what part of the country you are in.
These things will help you when traveling to America. Some of these things are funny, some are serious and some are weird things about visiting the USA. So hop on for some travel advice about the Dont's of Visiting America!
Never just visit New York or Disney world. The US is so big and so diverse - go see other parts. You got a zillion lakes in Minnesota, the Rocky Mountains in Colorado, a fantasy outdoor, Patagonia type work on Montana, amazing Tex Mex food in Texas, the most amazing forests in Washington State, the aloha spirit of Hawaii and on and on and on. So much to see….go try something other than New York or Disney! :)
Never get out of your car when stopped by police. In many parts of the world it is customary to get out of your car when pulled over. DO NOT do this in the US!
Never forget to tip at restaurants and bars. It is customary to tip between 15-25% in the United States. Unlike most parts of the world tipping is not only expected it’s how servers make their money!
Never get too close. In the US we like our personal space. We don’t do the kiss on the cheek and we don’t usually like people in our personal space.
Never say you like or dislike Trump. We are so so polarized and divided politically in the US now, that it just wise to keep clear of that discussion. But don’t worry beyond the rhetoric most Americans are pretty good people.
Never think you can rely on public transportation. Other than a few cities like New York and DC - the US does not have good public transportation. And if you are in smaller towns and rural areas - you’ll find no public transportation. We are very much a car culture.
Never call Soccer Football! Football is a different thing in the Unites States. If you say football, we going to think you’re talking about American football. And even further, don't try to convince an American your version of Football is better than ours. It doesn’t matter that your football is the #1 sport in the rest of the world. In our country our football is #1 and Soccer isn’t even close!
Never expect Americans to be able to speak any language other than English. Unfortunately, it’s just not something we prioritize in the US. Im just as guilty as anyone, because of the influence of US pop culture and tourism - most places I’ve been, I can get by speaking English. We don’t NEED to speak another language and there isn’t much desire to be bilingual in the US.
Never expect our pharmacies to sell just pharmaceutical stuff. In most other countries, pharmacies only have pharmaceutical products. US pharmacies are more like general stores. You can get your pharmaceutical products but you can also get groceries, toys and even beach equipment!
Never drink before you’re 21. Most of the rest of the world has much lower drinking ages. Heck, in Vietnam you can drink at any age! Not in the US. Drinking laws are very, very stick. Never drink in public. Most cities and states have strict open container laws. Thanks to Wolters World for inspiring this video and hopefully you enjoyed this travel advice for visiting the United States of America:

14 Reasons the Philippines Is Different from the Rest of the World
There is a country where over 175 languages are spoken, people text more than anywhere else in the world and boxing fights directly influence crime rates? It sounds pretty much unbelievable, but it’s all true in the Philippines! And among other things, it's an amazingly beautiful country with extremely good-looking people!

SUMMARY:
- There are two official languages in the Philippines: Filipino (based on Tagalog) and English.
- The Philippines are number five on the list of the world’s top English speaking populations after U.S., India, Pakistan, and the U.K.
- The nation’s capital, Manila, and its 16 surrounding cities that make up Metro Manila area have a population of 12.8 million people.
- Shopping malls aren’t merely a place where you buy stuff for Filipinos. They are safe, air-conditioned community hubs with gyms, health clinics, concert halls, nightclubs, parks and even churches inside!
- Filipinos send about 400 million texts a day, and that’s around 142 billion texts a year. It’s more than the U.S. and Europe put together.
- If you visit Manila, you’ll notice some interesting looking vehicles called jeepneys. They are converted US army jeeps that stayed in the country after World War II.
- The Philippines are, without a doubt, a super scenic location. Among all of the islands that are part of it, Camiguin sure stands out, with more volcanoes per square mile than any other island on the planet.
- The national flag of the Philippines has two bands of blue and scarlet, and a white triangle at the hoist with a yellow sun with eight rays, each of them standing for one province of the country.
- Filipinos love boxing and are crazy about their most famous boxer Manny Pacquiao. Whenever he fights, the whole country is glued to its TV sets.
- Banaue rice terraces are the oldest in the world and were so smartly designed, they still bring a harvest of rice and vegetables, most of which get exported.
- For years, the Philippines had been the number one producer of coconuts in the world. And even though the leadership now belongs to Indonesia, 153,532,000 tons per year is still an impressive number.
- Ferdinand Magellan made the first record of the archipelago among the Europeans in 1521. He founded the first settlement in Cebu and thus most of the area became a Spanish colony.
- If you love to sing along, you ought to thank Filipinos for your favorite pastime! The first karaoke machine in the world was created in 1975 by Roberto del Rosario.
- Along with their love for boxing, texting, and shopping, Filipinos are crazy about beauty pageants. They have won in all the major international pageants 15 times.
