@@howlinwulf I wrote a long-ass comment here; apologies for the length but I answered each question of yours - In my experience the policing experience varies wildly in different Asian countries; in the Philippines there are police and security guards everywhere with huge guns, but they are public servants and helpful. In Taiwan there is almost no visible police presence on the streets; just security cameras. In mainland China there are a ridiculous amount of security cameras, plus police, plus "BaoAn" which are security guards. In Malaysia there are some police/guards at malls and places of high traffic, they can be a little strict at times. As for racism, to me Philippines have a very homogenous culture that is very kind to foreigners both white and black (or whatever color). Filipinos sometimes describe themselves as being second-hand citizens in their own country because they are so service-minded towards visitors. I don’t know about racism between speakers of the (many) Philippines languages. It seems quite chill, and even the Catholics and Muslims get along very well. In Taiwan there is a good international culture that is quite understanding of foreigners and diversity in many places; however Taiwanese people are extremely introverted overall so it might come off as cold when it’s not really. Mainland Chinese are often very skeptical of outsiders (waiguoren) and though there are very kind people, there are tons of strange looks especially if you venture beyond the biggest (Tier 1+) cities. I have never heard of more overt and disgusting racist comments concerning Blacks than I have in China. They are 92% Han Chinese there; there’s little motivation for China to increase tolerance or understanding of outsiders within its boundaries. In my opinion the United States could never be as racist as China even if it tried its hardest (like it is now). The Chinese government also funds racial division within American borders. There is a kind of Han supremacy that seems to exist with the expansion of Socialism with Chinese Characteristics that is going to try to (and have a great shot at) taking over the whole world. Malaysia is an extremely diverse culture, and there can be a “joking” or “teasing” kind of racism between the Chinese, Indians, and Bumiputera (native Malay) who live there, but there’s a lot of peace. Political tensions likely exist below the surface with their very conservative politicians favoring the Bumiputera and stricter practice of Islam. China is so highly surveilled that it might drop levels of theft, but I think it increases the levels of paranoia. And elements of their cashless society don’t feel free at all. I feel very free in Southeast Asia. Andrew Henderson from Nomad Capitalist calls this a sense of “soft freedom” and I like that term. Prices in all the aforementioned countries seem to be cheaper than the US across the board. In Southeast Asia, a normal meal can be less than $2 USD (if not like 40 cents, in some cases). Most expensive thing is the plane ticket across the world.

In Ecuador they will shake you down but they will never lay their hands on you if you’re cool. Just give them $10 and everyone goes their way. In Ecuador you can get breakfast and a juice for $3 It’s safe. Many Americans attest to that. Not gonna lie USA is unique but it’s far from being a desirable place to live.

You have to be a special kind of idiot to believe that the US is impending collapse. This fearmongering has been going on for decades yet it's not congruent with reality. The US has a large and versatile private sector that ensures that the US's economy remains the world's largest and most productive. Inflation and unemployment is finally recovering after COVID and decreasing, crime is decreasing, the disposable income, life expectancy, etc, continues to rise. A few political scandals or certain economically depressed regions that exist in every western country won't alter this. This whole "muh obviously prosperous developed country I'm pessimistic about because of political reasons is doomed and bound to collapse" mantra is laughable.

"Whatever that guy is protesting" 😆

I lived in the YMCA for about three weeks around July 4, 1972 while researching in the Library of Congress about Vietnam for the PhD dissertation I ultimately failed to complete. I walked all around the city at night--but only the western end--and never saw or experienced anything that frightened me. Many years later in the summer of 1990, I returned with my wife and two children, and upon leaving our rented car nearby the Smithsonian, we came back to find the window smashed in and some small stuff stolen.

I lived there on A Street NE before moving out to Fairfax County VA. That was in the 1980's and DC was just starting to rapidly gentrify. The prices of the old town Houses on Capital Hill were rising almost by the month as the population started to grow wildly and the farms of northern VA were being gobbled up by home developers ranging from ludicrously expensive town houses to 5 and 6,000 Square Foot "McMansions" on 1/4 acre lots close enough to property lines that you could pass a roll of toilet paper to your neighbor through the opposing bathroom windows and it took 90 minutes or more to commute 4 miles on roads that had been formed by rolling hoghead barrels of tobacco to the shipping sites at Alexandria.

Never expected this

Whenever the thought of possibly returning to the US creeps into my mind, I'm really happy I have videos like this to remind me why I left XD

America surpasses poorer countries in numerous ways: 1. **Economic Strength**: A highly developed and diverse economy with a high GDP per capita. 2. **Technological Innovation**: Leading in tech advancements and home to major tech companies. 3. **Education**: World-renowned universities and research institutions. 4. **Healthcare**: Advanced medical facilities and research. 5. **Infrastructure**: Superior transportation, utilities, and communication networks. 6. **Personal Freedoms**: Strong protection of civil liberties and democratic governance. 7. **Quality of Life**: Higher standards of living, access to quality goods and services, and social mobility opportunities. 8. **Cultural Diversity**: A melting pot of cultures contributing to a rich and varied societal experience. Strange it’s so bad here yet everyone wants to come.

$4.89 for a gallon of gas! That’s incredibly expensive. And $2000 for an apartment. No wonder everyone is broke and angry!

This is very inspiring to learn a foreign language. I can understand the emotions in these conversations because it’s English, but I realize all his videos capture that. You can meet a completely different kind of people by learning a different language, and that’s very interesting.

My cousin taught school in Prince George's county. The stories he would tell!. But I love visiting the museums, the monuments.

You're the only youtuber with the guts to come to America. I see these other guys that go to so-called dangerous spots, and I'm like you missed your chance to go to Portland bro. Or go to....yeah

The US ranks 131 out of 163 countries in the Global Peace Index. Pretty awful.

Except that index is run by a far-left organization and includes components like refugee acceptance in the methodology. You're uneducated and gullible.

Many of these indexes use arbitrary metrics to deliberately propagate an agenda of the US being a worse country than it is in reality. With the Global Peace Index, the USA's higher military spending brings the US down significantly. China and Belarus, dictatorships that persecute political dissidents and in the case of China, are actively engaging in genocide, are placed higher than the US. Myanmar and Bangladesh are at the same level if one is genuinely moronic enough to believe this nonsense index. The Global Peace Index is just a handful of "muh qualified experts" congregating and pulling arbitrary data out of their ass and deciding it looks good. Your comment was clearly either written in bad faith or your statistical literacy is seriously lacking.

I feel bad giving this video a thumbs up when it says so many negative things about an area in our country, but I'm also glad you did a video in our country!

this video is like a fever dream 😭I never would've thought I'd see Sabbatical at a car meet

You showed a great side of DC. I love Jerry's and everything Georgia Ave has to offer. Glad I get to call it home!

I can't recall how I stumbled upon your channel. But I know I've watched every video you put out in the past year. I am working on going back and watching the older videos. It never gets old watching you speak different languages and seeing places I will more than likely never get the chance to visit. Awesome content. Keep 'em coming!

This is no different than any other hood in the states, chinese food, dodge chargers, challengers. And my hood is the most dangerous almost like bragging and proud
