Hi everyone, what's up? I hope you're doing well, I'm Yoann and you're on my channel my life in the United States !
So we're here today in
an American neighborhood
I thought it would be interesting to show you the differences
between an American neighborhood and a French one
it's a fancy neighborhood. But there are many differences between an American et a French one
Let's start with the names. Very often, American neighborhoods have names
Just like here, this one is named Royal Links
There are many such as Polo Dr., etc.
This is the first difference, neighborhoods have names
Tell me in the comments if your neighborhood has a name
Because to me, I've never seen one
Let's continue and see the 2nd difference !
Follow me !
So you'll see that in an American neighborhood, the first thing that will surprise you
is the size of the houses
You can see it right away behind me, the houses are huge
I'll show you a few examples, follow me
Houses are way bigger
of course, it's not always like that in the USA, there are smaller and more modest houses
but it's more surprising and more frequent to see neighborhood with big houses like those ones
come on !
A second difference
the American flag
Of course we know it, American people and the United States are proud of their flag
And you can often see flags floating proudly in front of houses
just like here behind me
I'll show you other examples, you can see another house with another flag
In France it would be very unusual to see French in front of houses
Here, it's normal, there are no problems
by the way, if you want to know more about the American flag, its history and the tradition
go check the description bar
I'll put you the link to check my video where I explain everything
Do you want to know other differences? Follow me
We're stopping here in front of this house for another difference
Basketball hoop in front of the garage
it looks like we're in a movie
I feel like 1 house out of 2 or 3 have one
Where you can see the dad playing basketball with the kids
it's funny to see people having fun
and one more time, I feel like I'm in a movie every time I see it!
in many neighborhoods, American people love to decorate their houses
the outside is usually decorated, there are flowers, trees...
as you can see behind me, it's very well taken care of
they just love it !
they love decorating their houses, in the summer there are flowers
in the Fall you can see halloween
Then Christmas...
it's very pretty and to me, it's something that's missing in France
and it's something that we don't see that often
houses with decorations and so well kept
people show their personality
and who they are
with their decoration
Sometimes you can even see the name of the family on the front door
literally saying "You're in our home"
another difference is the space between houses
everytime I'm so surprised, in big neighborhood like this one, there is a lot of space between them
and each house is separated from each other
I know it's similar in France
but for me, I grew up on a street, where all the houses are attached to each other
so it's something I'm not used to
another big difference, is the screens at the windows
we won't be able to see it on the video
but each window...
a nice American car driving by
each window has a screen
When Andrea moved to France, at night she wanted to open the windows
and of course the mosquitoes would come inside
so she would ask "why don't we have screens??"
Because here, all the windows have one
and it's a big big difference
you can see it behind me, another difference that we cannot miss
is all the mailboxes that are along the road
the typical American mailboxes
if you wonder how we use it
go check out my video on American mailboxes
why does it have this little red thing
and how we use it
also, the post office has little cars with the steering wheel on the right
to be able to put the letters in the mailboxes that are along the road
another difference is that many houses have porches
the entrance doors are covered
there is a little entry
and people love to decorate those entries as I explained
put a chair for example, and it is common for instance, to see people
sitting in front of their entrance having a good time
it's a big difference and because it's unusual to see that in France with the porche in front of the house
American people usually have big cars
and if you talk about big cars you talk about big garages
it's very common to see houses with 1, 2 or even 3 garages
and often way wider than our French garages
Something that surprised me when I moved to the States
is that many houses have big back yards
but with no demarcation
as you see, there are the houses with the yards
but there are no demarcations between neighbors
it's not unusual that one neighbor crosses another yard to go to another
of course there are some that are closed
but more than in France, yards are open
and the neighbors don't try to protect themselves
or to be more secretive
I feel like wherever I moved in France with my family
we had gates or fences
with trees etc.
here, we can see the neighbors and they can see you
there isn't this idea of privacy and hide from others
it's pretty interesting
I hope you enjoyed this video, give it a big thumbs up
I hope you enjoyed discovering an American neighborhood
all the neighborhoods aren't like this one but it's an example of the differences between France and the USA
and I will see you next time on my channel, my life in the USA ! Bye !
