You don't really know how different America is though until you get here.

Future simple

That's the one thing I will say, you know, you think, you know, but then when you, when you land in America in your airports, that's when you know this place is, yeah, this place is different because American airports, unlike airports everywhere in the world which have a certain level of joy and all around happiness.

American airports, they like, they like concentration camps, you know, just people walking barefoot in single file.

There's even signs that say no jokes, you know, you're like, really?

You, you walk through those airports and, and you have to do things in American airports.

You know, like you, you have to take your shoes off, shoes come off and you don't know this is a far enough but they don't care.

I'm like my, what your shoes take them off.

I'm keeping them on for your safety, my friend, you don't do it anywhere else.

But then you come out here you have to take off your shoes and you have to take your jacket off to walk through the metal detector.

You and, and they, they are mean about it.

They will shout you, they're like you take it off, take it off and, and you don't know what to take off.

You don't take it off anywhere else so you don't know what to take off.

Like you take it off, take, take what off?

Now what your clothes take them my clothes and now you're standing there, this man shouting at you telling you to take your clothes off.

You feel like a child in a Catholic church.

I mean, I understand the need for security but they don't need to shout at you at least you know if they tried to be nice if they were maybe if they chanted instead of shouting, you know, instead of take it off.

If they were like take it off, take it off, take you'd be like, yeah, oh security safe and sexy.

This is a harrowing experience as you come in and the worst is when you have to go through passport control.

Oh As Americans you don't feel the pain but as a foreigner, it's a whole different game.

So Americans you walk through to the US citizens line and they welcome you back like you on some secret mission it was like, welcome home, sir.

You know, when you're a foreigner, you have to wait in a super long line, you know, and then they tease you, the line goes right to the front and then it comes back and comes back and you finally get there and you have to wait for that, you know, and he's standing there and the guys are like, sir, sir, come on, come on, sir, step forward for step forward, sir, step forward for forward and forward, back, back behind the line, sir, back, get back, sir, get back.

She knows there's a stress you're standing there and, and now you have to answer questions horrible like you, you don't understand it.

It's, it's the stress, you know, standing there and you, you don't want to get any of the questions wrong because just like school, they'll send you back.

So you stand there and you have to answer them into a microphone that's placed strategically low almost so that you have to bow to the American as you answer every question of his.

I ask you these questions questions, you feel like you know the answers to.

But when you're there, I mean I just handed the man my passport to which he replied is this you never before have I felt so much pressure to look like myself.

It was like I was younger then this is horrible and then he starts rattling them off.

It's your first time in the United States of America, sir.
