What shocked and surprised Russian tourists in the US

This summer, Russian Zhora visited Los Angeles (California) and Vegas (Nevada). He flew over the hill not as a tourist and not on a work visa. Having his own small dance show in Russia, he decided to see how his talent would be appreciated in America: “I just wanted to show people what I do here, I was interested in hearing their opinion about it.”

First day in the USA

I arrived, and I was surprised palm trees. That's all. As a child rejoiced palm.
In Sochi and the Crimea, there are also palm trees, they are everywhere, but it was American palms in California that gave me a pleasant feeling. After Peter, the weather was very happy.

Cultural shock in the USA

The people there are completely open. It was strange for me. Always respond with a smile. It was nicer than looking at gloomy people. But after a while it began to get on my nerves. That is, it is both good and bad. When you smile all the time, it becomes unclear whether you are really pleased or is it just a formality. Therefore, the plus of Russia is that here we have more and more humane.
They don’t even think about politics at all. This is most pleased.

It was shocking that the food in McDonalds was tasteless. Wooden food, which, when it cools, on cardboard, groans to taste.

There is no better and no worse than our country. There are their standards. It's just different. Even the time is different, sockets are not 220 volts, but 110. And the psychology is different. The country has done everything to make people think that they are exceptional.

The new year is not even celebrated on the 31 of the number, but on 25 of their Christmas. 8 March is not, there is a separate Mother's Day. I was only in Los Angeles and Vegas, but that was enough to understand their psychology.
People don't care what they think of them, they can go to the airport in slippers.

Another feature of the US mentality is that everyone does his job: a plumber never drives a nail into a tree. And here in Russia, people know how to do everything, master of all trades.

There, people think very straightforwardly. On the one hand, this is good, on the other - bad. They know how to do one thing, but well. But only one.
As a result, the system is built there so that people work a lot, because everything is under loans. If the details go. We have a similar.

Attitude towards Russians

No matter how many people find out that I am from Russia, they were in no hurry to make hasty conclusions. And they simply asked: “Do you really snow every day?”, “Do bears really walk the streets?”. To find out the truth. Negative not seen from their side. They do not focus on nationalities.

Standard of living in the US

For a working person he is good everywhere. If you sit and say that the state is such and because of the state I have no work, you will have a bad life everywhere.

If objectively, there is a higher standard of living, but this is all proportional. Working, you can live quite well. And there, and there are bums. Need to work.

Fun Cases in the USA

When you look at people for a long time, they apologize. You walk gloomy, in your thoughts, and it is unusual for people that you are. At first, everyone thought something had happened to me. They asked if anything happened, to help.

The people are very emotional. I once shot a video on the street, a jeep drove up to me. Police. The cops came out. I think everything will close us now. In the end, one came up, hugged me, took a selfie, pofotkal with me.

Then I learned that I was from Russia. He said: "Oh, you are cool guys, welcome!". And this policeman says, if you have questions, contact us, we are always here, shoot your video. Then he took me on video. I put a column on the hood of the car and began to dance for them.

On the other hand, I somehow wanted to go to the police, wanted to ask something, and one took the gun off the fuse, you never know who you are.

There are very different people there, and they are always on the alert. Smile, but always alert.

Country of contrasts. In Russia, when I wanted to make a video on the background of a police car, I was told that it was impossible.

What would you take from the USA to Russia

Would take the roads and road junctions. There are wonderful interchanges, frivei, you can ride, get wherever you want in just half an hour, no matter which point.

Would transfer the life of retirees. It is a pity that pensioners in our country cannot afford what American pensioners can afford. I was in a casino, half the people there are retired!

People with disabilities live full lives there. Everything is equipped, there are lifts. No institution can not open, if not equipped for people with disabilities. Here I have not seen this.

What would you take from Russia to the USA

Humanity. In the USA, I would transfer our humanity. Because behind this smile, very little is hidden. Everyone smiles, but in fact they forget when to smile, and when to be sad. This is direct there really is not enough. Of humanity. This is a plus for Russia.

In addition to humanity, I would transfer our public transport there. Because there is almost no public transport in Los Angeles as such.

He is very poorly developed. The subway seems to be just how 10 years old works. For the sake of interest, I decided to look at their subway. I was simply shocked by the fact that their metropolitan was a hundred years behind ours in sensation!

American girls

There is nothing to compare. Our girls are better. Much prettier.

Feelings on returning to Russia

In many ways, this is joy. I am back. There was no grief: I returned to Russia, returned to St. Petersburg, I adore this city. And here I am at home.

I went there to shoot a clip. As a result, it was delayed: I had to stay a month, but in the end I stayed on 4. A lot of things managed to do. I got my way. I was always wondering how there was, and I was pleasantly surprised. I heard a lot of good things about my business. It gave strength.
