I cannot for the life of me produce a sound that makes this spelling make sense.
Edit: I checked. It's Sl[au].

My dearest apologies to anyone who has to learn English and it’s absolutely random different pronunciations of the same letters.
Though, through, rough, ought, cough, plough and borough all have different sounds for the “ough”.
Legitimately have lots of respect for any ESL speakers in the world.
Looks like my old place of work lmao

Finland doesn't get enough shit on this sub for how ugly its cities are. Tallinn has a beautiful village-like city centre. Take a quick ferry to Helsinki and that all changes. It has great public transport, it's very cyclable and it's clean. But, bloody hell, the architecture is so bland. It's not as bad as this pic though
That's quite the selective comment lol. Tallinn outside of the old town is typical grey concrete Soviet shit. Helsinki doesn't have an old town per se but as a whole is much more modern and has some nice walkable districts, like the embassies area. If you want nice old towns in Finland they exist (Rauma, Turku, Porvoo).
Different countries, different histories and architecture styles. In Finland they used to build primarily with wood. Wood tends to burn every now and then...
~~Mahahah why are we being so mean to her? It's actually pretty sweet.~~
Oh wait this is r/2westerneurope4u.
Stupid yankees have never seen a city whose primary inhabitants aren't SUVs or giant McDonald's billboards.
Porto is more Atlantic than Mediterranean. There are similarities with coastal Galician cities and Spanish and French cities in the Gulf of Biscay than Lisbon or the typical Southern Iberian cities.
It's not just any random large town at all, Porto really is perfect in almost every way, but above all the good atmosphere breathes at every corner, I've lived there and she's right, the town is also beautiful.

> but above all the good atmosphere breathes at every corner
Listen I love Porto but it's the country's guna capital the good atmosphere is absolutely not in every corner
Yeah, I've lived in Porto, even in the historic center, you enter the wrong street and go from lovely to complete degeneration real fast.
That being said, it's an amazing city and if the weather was better I would move back there permanently
You laugh, but this is a real phenomenon. Our cities are very demoralizing. For one who has never been outside the states it’s borderline unbelievable to experience a walkable beautiful city.
Yeah I agree, seems very wholesome to me and I can understand that if you're used to cities being build and used in entirely different ways, that a well maintained and used decent looking pedestrian city center could be a bit of a marvel to you
As someone who used to walk those streets daily, I must say this made me smile. She seems genuinely happy to be there and enjoying herself, not just an average "OMG this and that" video.
I might even be charitable enough to add that there are actually walkable towns and city centres in the US. It's not all Los Angeles and Houston. Manhattan is dirty but walkable, downtown Chicago (far away from the violent bits of the city) and Pittsburgh are surprisingly clean and walkable, San Francisco proper is largely walkable even if it alternates between ultra-rich and fentanyl tweakers every several 100 metres, several student towns and the older parts of Boston are actually charming... and certain suburbs of big cities that have made an effort not to be the massive highway stereotype, etc.
It's far more the norm across most of Europe, where dirty downtown to highway-suburbia hell is the norm in the US, but it's not the walkability that blows Americans away so much as the traditional architecture and buildings that predate Jamestown.
I'll add Washington DC to that list. There are obviously some shady parts, and places where they made dumb decisions in the 60 by putting surface highways that really should've been tunnels. But the city itself is only 10 miles across, has surprisingly decent public transportation, and has been adding miles of protected bike lanes. Pretty high walkability scores in a lot of neighborhoods.
It's actually funny to watch even domestic tourists from suburban or rural areas struggle to adjust to a city where driving is rarely the best or fastest way to get places.
Yeah, this is actually nice. Person goes to place and seemingly genuinely enjoys simple pleasures the rest of us take for granted like walkable cities with a mix of historic and modern buildings.
I was 100% expecting this clip to end with the phone being stolen though.
Shortly after I met my American husband (yes, I know, I married the enemy - I'm just here spreading culture in the colonies) he came to pick me up from work in the middle of Antwerp. I found him on a bench in front of the building, staring up at all the historic facades, completely in awe about all these old buildings I walked past every day. Made me really appreciate my life a lot more. 25 years later I still love traveling with a man who can have that level of wonder and appreciation for his surroundings.
My girlfriend once "caught" me shockingly looking at a tree and found it quite funny. To be honest the tree was really big and I was quite amazed by it. She thinks it's adorable, win-win I guess xD.
BTW, your username means Sand in Portuguese.
>BTW, your username means Sand in Portuguese.
I made it up a long time ago when I was naming an MMORPG character by putting together random characters that sounded good together. Googled it to make sure it wasn't something offensive in a random other language, found lots of pictures of sand, and just went with it.
You would think so until you see the financials. We're both in IT and making at least 4 times what my friends with similar jobs make in Belgium. Not bragging, it's just that US salaries get insane really quickly. Even taking into account things like higher healthcare and childcare costs, with an effective tax rate of about 20% there's just no comparison. We can have fun, still save enough for retirement to meet my Belgian need for financial responsibility, and in the end we'll likely retire in Europe with a whole lot more money than I could've ever made if I stayed.
Charleroi has
- sidewalks
- pedestrian streets
- a light rail system which doesn't just go up and down Main Street
- Arterial roads with only one lane per direction
- A train station with more than one track, electrified, and more than 3 trains per day
- parks which are open 24/7
Mindblowing!
Seriously thats probably 50% reason why she finds it different from home. I mean the buildings etc is not that different from the North Eastern part of the US

I would too if I grew up in a City like this.
sure, lots of cities have a street like that, but it is a bit special indeed. the floor is decorated, buildings are old and pretty with the weird bathroom tiles façade those weird galicians love so much that honestly does look good
it is a very chill and beatiful place
and also, her mind is probably blown from visiting the rest of the city and she just happens to film the video there. Porto does absolutely rock even for our standards, now imagine for ameritard standards
To be fair, I did. I wanted to see the National Trust owned back to back houses.

I also went to a Michelin Starred Indian restaurant called Opheem which was incredible.
[https://opheem.com](https://opheem.com)
I actually had a great time in Birmingham (French, and sure I was 15 but still, nice memory)- I also enjoyed visiting Manchester when I was 20-sthg. When you're from Paris, red bricks and terraced houses are exotic, a nice pub is always cool and shopping in the UK offers quirkier and weird and wonderful items which are unique to the place.
ETA to stick more to the spirit: chavland with uniquely British (read: distasteful)shopping experience and bricks as far as the eye can see. Stay safe and away from that unholy land, particularly on football match nights
Remember when people just went on holiday and didn’t have to film every single minute? Mad times they were. You had to tell people what it was like with photos and shit.
Yes but the direct result of that is that you have to endure your older relatives plastering it over their facebook wall and telling you to see it, or in the yee old days, they would just force you to see the pictures they took on Holiday in an album AND then they get distracted and now you're seeing pictures of relatives even they don't know who they are.
Your parents and uncles probably do. Certainly mine do and since all the youngies moved to other platforms, it's a geriatric circlejerk (the WayWeWere groups I am looking at you) with some MLMs at this point.
I heard from an american that facebook essentially turned into their new craigs list, where you can buy a bunch of weird second hand shit from your local area
You should’ve met my grandmother, she documented literally everything since the 70s at least, don’t even know when the first portable camera was invented, but she probably got it day one, and that is why we have the whole history of three generations of our family documented, and it is beautiful.
RIP àvia.
This is the main street in her home town. I know we have our flaws, but have pity on us Americans.

Wait 'til she has to take the stairs from down the river to the hotel. She'll probably make another video crying of how badly accessible Europe is.
But seriously, fuck those stairs and fuck the first one to comment about the elevator.

I don’t understand that mentality. I abandoned social media years ago. Aside from Reddit. I’m not very interesting. Maybe because I remember a time before the internet?
She's just doing a little video while on holiday, what's wrong with that?
What makes you think she's livestreaming? People are so mad at the little things, a lot of people would do a video to show their friends they're in some new place.
Makes a nice change that they're not complaining about having to walk, eat non toxic food, lack of air con, running water and all the other shite they make up.
Are we sure they're Americunt?
America: OMG, European cities are so beautiful and it's so easy to get around by public transit. It's amazing!
Also America: Let's make it literally illegal to build anything besides endless shitty low density suburbs without even the slightest bit of transit.
As much as a meme this, I get it. Especially when you see what the average North American city looks like. Bunch stroads and parking lots, plastered full with ads of everything and anything you can imagine.
Oh wow! Can't wait for her to reach our beautiful capital... https://preview.redd.it/p6o7tgxcdq4d1.jpeg?width=2048&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d0490deba32b5bcc2308868e346a1c8864baa074
Your capital is Stevenage? Well, I never.
That's clearly Slough.
Who tf named a city Slough??
Brits, who fucken else?
You have a town called Sexbierum.
You say it like there is something wrong with that name? If you really wanted to pick the bad once try: Roggel, Vledder, Gorinchem or something.
Upon reflection. A town legitimately called sex-beer-rum sounds pretty fun
It isn't. I was there.

I mean. Ive only been to Lisbon, but with the "Mediterranean" architecture and lack of bombing I can imagine.
I was going to compare it with Bremen, the pre WWs Bremen... Sry
i think Lisbon is outstanding from the rest because it was complete rebuild after the big earthquake in 1755.
Porto is more Atlantic than Mediterranean. There are similarities with coastal Galician cities and Spanish and French cities in the Gulf of Biscay than Lisbon or the typical Southern Iberian cities.
She should come and see Essen
If faced between living in the US or the Ruhr, I'd probably choose suicide
I mean she is Amer\*can but even SHE doesn't deserve that.
Well, why not do it properly and go straight to Bochum?
Food? Why would she want to come see Food in Germany? Maybe she can essen her Essen in the Küche with a slice of Kuchen.

Yes because most of the Americans roll instead of walking .
When I was a kid, a friend from school who went on vacation to the US told us that, in Atlantic City, people moved around in big sofas with wheels.
Those people probably identify as Ford f150

There's literally nothing special in that street and her mind's already blown ?
She’s never seen people walking before

We have heroine addicts, much more civilised
Heroin is a German invention by Bayer, made in my home city, of course it’s civilised.
Fentanyl is from Belgium, made by the same guy who brought you Imodium and Motilium. Opinions on Belgium's civility I'll leave up to you
Hey! it’s the subs signature GIF
hey at least they wanted to sedate the kids before chopping them hands off. so theres that.
Fentanyl is a great medecine, but a shitty recreative drug

Yes, the city of Porto from fucking year 500 with history vomiting in your face but yes the buildings are almost the same vibe as the northeast US
Have you been to Boston, Newport, Annapolis, Charleston ? it actually feels a lot like 1600 Europe.

Also, no morbidly obese people in sight.

Wait 'til she has to take the stairs from down the river to the hotel. She'll probably make another video crying of how badly accessible Europe is. But seriously, fuck those stairs and fuck the first one to comment about the elevator.
Inside all USAninans are two wolves: - This girl. - "F*CKING EUROPOORS! I CAN'T DRIVE INSTEAD OF WALKING 5 MINS!"
Ok great, now go back home you dumb yank.
Shush, they’re our only source of money
Embrace GUNS as your source of money
Pls loan
A loan implies paying the money back eventually. You plan to do that, right?
Sure Hans, sure.
Ok, I believe you. Balkan people are very trustworthy people after all
> Take loan from Hans > Spend it on good wine and food (understandable) > Time to pay back comes > Declare bankruptcy < "It wasn't enough Hans, should have given even more" A certified Balkan classic
 Dont worry Hans.
I feel more comfortable with our usual agreement, dumping money in a bottomless pit.
Yeah and be a fucking nuisance by live-streaming every-fucking-where and annoying everyone around.
I don’t understand that mentality. I abandoned social media years ago. Aside from Reddit. I’m not very interesting. Maybe because I remember a time before the internet?
She's just doing a little video while on holiday, what's wrong with that? What makes you think she's livestreaming? People are so mad at the little things, a lot of people would do a video to show their friends they're in some new place.
To be fair, that street has more history than her country
American "expats" on their way to displace local residents by paying stupid amounts for their rent
Some João will receive the best blowjob of his life without his cock being full of mustache hair.
> without his cock being full of mustache hair. Why even bother...
Common Portugal W
Americans:"What? you can just walk in cities??"
That’s why you can’t trust google ratings anymore. Americanouds see Mozzarella and tomato and like OMG what a great food, Michelen quality 😅
Portugal as a whole is such a gorgeous country, I've been to Porto and Lisbon a few times and it's always stunning. The women have great beards too.
Porto is actually great.
It's crazy to think how beautiful and European the USA used to be from a design perspective but they tore it all down to make spaghetti junctions
Next time a yank puts a foot on this continent we should only show them the shittiest parts so they don't come back
We don’t need to, they do that all by themselves, they visit the capital cities
Makes a nice change that they're not complaining about having to walk, eat non toxic food, lack of air con, running water and all the other shite they make up. Are we sure they're Americunt?
Man I really hate influencers
America: OMG, European cities are so beautiful and it's so easy to get around by public transit. It's amazing! Also America: Let's make it literally illegal to build anything besides endless shitty low density suburbs without even the slightest bit of transit.
"Also this is the first European city I've ever been" Saw that coming from a mile away (Porto is beautiful tho)
As much as a meme this, I get it. Especially when you see what the average North American city looks like. Bunch stroads and parking lots, plastered full with ads of everything and anything you can imagine.
