  • (JESSE) Hi, I'm Jesse and this is what my kitchen is like in Edmonton, Canada.

  • So here is the kitchen.

  • Stove. Kettle. Soda maker. Sinks.

  • Two sinks. We use both.

  • Washing. Rinsing.

  • Done dishes. Clean dishes.

  • Ready-to-be-put-away dishes.

  • Compost.

  • Dishwasher.

  • Appliances. Fridge.

  • [whispering] Chocolate milk.

  • Microwave. Toaster. Caaabineeets.

  • So many cabinets.

  • There's actually like so many cabinets.

  • Drawer. Lets-go cabinet.

  • What are kitchens like where your from?

  • (GREG) What is next? (SHIN) It's Mex-a-miracle!

  • (GREG) Mex-a-mexico? Mexico! (SHIN) Miskako.

  • (GREG) Mex... Just say "Mexico". (SHIN) Miskako!

  • (GREG) Mek-sih-koh. (SHIN) Mixcaco!

  • (GREG) Hehehe... What is next? (SHIN) Mix... Mixcaco!

  • (GREG) Mexic... No. Mexico. Mexico (SHIN) Miskako.

  • (GREG) OK. We're going to Mexico. (SHIN) We're going to Miskako.

  • (GREG) Oh. You got it now...

  • (DOLORES) Hello, everyone. I am Dolores from Mexico and I will show you my kitchen.

  • Here is the fridge, next to the washing machine.

  • And here I wash the dishes.

  • This is the stove and microwave.

  • I like to cook Japanese style, so I have a rice steamer.

  • And, because it's a Mexican house, we have a "molcajete".

  • Molcajete is for cooking "guacamole" or some sauces.

  • I also love Japanese knives.

  • And my kitchen is connected to the living room, as you can see,

  • so when we have some parties, I serve the dinner here

  • and they take it and eat there.

  • So thank you for watching. Bye, bye!

  • (SHIN) Next is Mae, Englond. (GREG) [enunciating] England.

  • (SHIN) England. Next is Mae at England. ENGLAND!

  • (MAE) Hello, world! Were I'm from in Cambridge, England, this is what the kitchen is like.

  • Let's go have a look.

  • This is a fridge. It's where we store milk, ham, cheese and therefore ___ fresh food!

  • This is an oven. This bit down here is where we cook chicken,

  • and scrumdiddlyumptious cake.

  • We also have a hob to cook... pasta, veggies and, on pancake day, pancakes.

  • This is where we store our... chopsticks.

  • This is a toaster, where we cook toast or pop tarts and have them for breakfast.

  • Most people in England keep their washing machines in the kitchen.

  • Because our kitchen can't fit the wash... the tumble dryer, it goes outside in the garage.

  • Those who live in England don't like having plain water,

  • so we drink squash.

  • This is how you make it.

  • Get a cup. Put a little bit of squash in,

  • and put some water in it.

  • Thank you for watching our video!

  • What are kitchens like where you're from?

  • Bye!

  • (GREG) And next, what country are we going to? (AIKO) Morocco.

  • (GREG) And where is Morocco? (AIKO) I don't know.

  • (GREG) Africa.

  • (ASMAE) Hello, world! My name is Asmae Maya. I'm from Morocco and this is how a a Moroccan kitchen looks like.

  • First, we have the refrigerator.

  • Next we have the washing machine.

  • Most washing machines in Morocco are put in the kitchen.

  • So this is where we cook.

  • One thing no one imagines is that

  • both the oven and the water heater work on this.

  • This is the gas tank.

  • The window on the kitchen normally has a view on a space like this

  • where most neighbors' kitchens have a view on.

  • So in Morocco kitchens normally have a table,

  • (this one is quite big but people have like smaller ones)

  • where you prepare your meals.

  • You just bring a chair and you can prepare your meal.

  • This is "tagine". It's very famous in Morocco.

  • It is used in order to cook.

  • It is healthy and, when you cook using tagine, food gains a very special and delicious taste.

  • This is a famous dish in Morocco. It is called "taos" dish, which is the peacock dish.

  • It is used in Morocco when gests come or when there is a feast or a holiday.

  • So that's it. Thank you very much for watching. Bye, bye!

  • (SHIN) Finally go into Lithuania. (GREG) Lithuania!

  • (SHIN) Lithuania!

  • (SIMAS) This is what kitchen looks like where I'm from, Lithuania.

  • Our kitchen is in the country, in North Lithuania, where my grandparents live.

  • It's in the same building with the garage, so obviously it's divided from the living house.

  • We use it all year. In the spring ____.

  • In the summer we prepare food for winter,

  • and in the winter we make delicious Christmas dishes here.

  • This is a furnace. Sometimes we use it to boil food and to heat the kitchen.

  • Otherwise, we use the stove.

  • Let's take a look at what's here.

  • So here is the storeroom. It's really cold here,

  • so I like to be here in very hot summer days, like today.

  • And if you'll heat the storage room, you can make a bath house out of it.

  • Let's see what's for lunch. Sausages and potatoes.

  • Lithuanians looove potatoes.

  • We like to decorate our windows' sills.

  • I hope you found something interesting in my video and see you next time. Bye!

  • (GREG) Now, let's check out Brazil. Do you know Brazil, where it is? (SHIN) No.

  • (GREG) That's where the Olympics are right now. (SHIN) Ooooh!

  • (GREG) Yes. And the person in Brazil is not going to show Brazil medals. Yeah. Those gold medals, right?

  • The person is going to talk about India, though. Do you know where India is?

  • (SHIN) Mmm... No.

  • (GREG) That's where we get my tea from.

  • (NAYANA) Hi! My name is Nayana and I live in Rio de Janeiro.

  • I'm 9 years old. And I really like your videos, Aiko.

  • Last year I went to India.

  • Where we were staying, they offered me to have some sweet nuts.

  • I said "OK", because I love nuts.

  • So she made nuts.

  • But it wasn't at all like my kitchen.

  • It was outside, with a little stove, this size or something, very little,

  • and it was made of mud.

  • She got some sticks and made a fire.

  • And she cooked some nuts and it was so good.

  • Bye! See you next time! Oh! And say "hi!" to your brother. He's the craziest guy ever.

  • (SHACHI) Welcome to an indian kitchen.

  • So this is our kitchen. It's an open kitchen, which basically opens to the living and to the rest of the house.

  • This is our gas stove that we use for cooking.

  • This is the main slab, you know, where dishes are prepared.

  • The shelves on top is where we typically store our groceries and the rest of our utilities.

  • So I'll show you one of them.

  • You can see that there are a lot of steel containers, so

  • In India, very rarely plastic is used, so most of the groceries, everything, will be stored in round steel containers like this.

  • So the Indians love the spices and spices are used in all cooking.

  • So most homes will have a spice box, which will hold some of the commonly used spices.

  • So, as you can see, there are different compartments for the spices.

  • Typically there's turmeric, chili powder, salt, mustard, etc.

  • Some homes will also have an extra rack for storing additional spices, like we have.

  • Another interesting thing that you will see is coffee filters.

  • So indians drink a lot of tea and coffee, and coffee is freshly brewed,

  • so most homes will have a filter like this, that you put your coffee powder

  • and pour hot water, and wait for some time and the recoction will trickle down here,

  • and this fresh recoction is then used for making coffee.

  • ___ Pickles. So we love our pickle and it is added to food.

  • So most homes will have at least more than one type of pickle.

  • You can see that we have several.

  • So these pickles are typically home made by your mom or your grandma.

  • So I love decorating my fridge,

  • and I have decorated it with the fridge magnets that I collected from different countries.

  • And hopefully I'll add more.

  • So this is our kitchen. I hope you enjoyed it. Bye.

  • (GREG) We saw on that video that they had tables in their kitchens. (SHIN) Yup.

  • (GREG) Do we have tables in our kitchens in Japan? (SHIN) No. We are too small.

  • (GREG) We are too small for a table. What about...? Did you see the one with the bed in the kitchen.

  • (SHIN) Ha, ha! No. (GREG) There was a bed in it!

  • (MAE) There are 2 types of kitchens. One is a big one like can not only cook in, but you can eat in it as well.

  • That means you can fit a table in it. The second type of kitchen is a small one, like ours, that you can only cook in.

  • (SHACHI) So this slab right here also serves as a dining table. We sometimes sit here and eat our food.

  • (AYAH) We live in the kitchen, not in the living room.

  • Dining tables are pretty big, like you see right here.

  • (JINAN) This is how a Kashmiri kitchen looks like, just to let you show... (UMNIYAH) Because we have a place in India, and it's called "the stove".

  • (JINAN) Yeah. (UMNIYAH) I mean we won't be showing our faces. (JINAN) Respect that!

  • This is the seating area in a Kashmiri home.

  • And every Kashmirian household has a sitting area,

  • but in our sitting area we have got a mattress,

  • because we sleep here.

  • (TIA) So, first, this is the mini bar that my family and I usually use for having breakfast, lunch and also dinner.

  • (GREG) So we noticed a lot of people had dishwashers, but did they use them, Shin? (SHIN) No.

  • (GREG) What did they do? (SHIN) Um... wash the dishes by themselves and just dry it with the...

  • (GREG) In the dishwasher. (SHIN) In the dishwasher.

  • (MAE) Our kitchen is too small to fit a dishwasher in.

  • (EFFIE) So there's no dishwasher, as you can see. Everything is hand washed and air dried.

  • (STARLET) You wash, wash, wash and, instead of a drying rack, I use the dishwasher as my drying rack.

  • (GREG) Shin, do we have ovens in Japan? (SHIN) Yeah, but so small.

  • (GREG) Where's our oven? (SHIN) It's right here. Only can cook this.

  • (GREG) Oh, but they can see you now, but yeah, there's a little oven over there.

  • (DENISSE) And a sort of Mexican cliche we have is that we don't ever use the oven,

  • so we just keep inside pots and pans or trays...

  • I have not met a person who uses their oven, or if they do use it,

  • they try to keep it clean so that they can use it, but they still put their pots and pans inside the stove.

  • (GREG) Shin, would you like to drink water from a mud pot? (SHIN) Mmm... No.

  • (GREG) I think it's a clay pot. Maybe. (SHIN) Clay. Bricks. It's that a brick pot or something?

  • (GREG) Yeah, yeah! The clay make bricks out of clay. I think it's probably a clay pot.

  • (SHACHI) This thing about me is the water purifier.

  • So in India you really can't drink tap water directly,

  • so most homes will have a purifier so that, you know, you can get clean water for drinking and cooking.

  • (SHARVYA) And we drink water in the pot. You know, this is a steel pot. We store our water in the steel pot.

  • And here there's mud pot. The difference between steel and mud is mud gives more ____ or chillness to the water.

  • We also store water in the fridge, but still I prefer mud pot water.

  • (TENZIN) We have the water machine so you can get clean water.

  • (STARLET) I drink water with the water filter.

  • (GREG) Ok, Shin, what kind of drinks do Japanese people drink. (SHIN) Mmm... Coffee, and tea, and milk tea and... cocoa.

  • (GREG) Cocoa? (SHIN) Yeah. (GREG) That's hot chocolate. (SHIN) Yeah. Hot chocolate!

  • (MAE) This is a kettle, where we boil our water to make tea...

  • (ASMAE) And you can see here the teapot...

  • (STARLET) My teas and coffee...

  • (NADA) Over here, these are Arabian coffee making pots, so you have to boil the coffee in these.

  • (EFFIE) This is my favorite cup. Because I am mostly a tea drinker and I had to get it.

  • (GREG) Shin, do you think our kitchen is small or big?

  • (SHIN) So 'smag'.

  • (NADA) Our kitchen is pretty small. Most kitchens are not like this,

  • but yeah, this is what a kitchen is like where I live.

  • (EFFIE) ...And I live in a townhouse, which means that our place is smaller than average,

  • and so the kitchen might reflect that and might have different features to what other kitchens usually have.

  • (DENISSE) I really wanted to do a video like this for a really long time, ever since I started watching Life Where I'm From.

  • I think the concept of it is really great, it's creative, it's cute and it's a lot of fun to watch.

  • So thanks for watching my video. Bye!

  • (EFFIE) All right! So that's what it's like where we're from in Australia! (SOPHIA) Yay! Bye everyone!

  • (EFFIE) See you later! (SOPHIA) See you later!

  • (AIKO) Thanks for watching! See you next time! Bye! What are streets like where you're from?

  • (GREG) Yeah! We'd love to see what outside your home is like. So please go out and film your streets.

  • (AIKO) And thank you for making the kitchen video for us!

  • (SHIN) Thanks for watching! See you next time! Bye! Nya, nya, nya, nya, nya. Nya, nya, nya, nya, nya.

  • (GREG) And... what do we want to see... for the next video?

  • (SHIN) Cat! A popcorn day!

  • (GREG) No. Not popcorn.

(AIKO) Hello world, this is what kitchens around the world are like.
