Travel Debate: Three American myths I don't believe anymore after living in Europe

Uhhh...was just looking up Chad and found this...

Polygamy is common, with 39% of women living in such unions. This is sanctioned by law, which automatically permits polygamy unless spouses specify that this is unacceptable upon marriage.[72
 
I’ve seen and lived this experience all over the world.

I wish that one day, black people in the states will collectively be freed from this mentality in particular. There is no prize at the the end of this rugged individualism rainbow and the small faux pride you do get, certainly goes before the fall.

Wow
 
One thing I loved in Singapore is seeing white people get shocked when people don't acknowledge their white privilege. So many times white people tried to break the rules and were put in check lol.

On the flight and at my stay, everybody knew who I was as the only Black person and they were super attentive and courteous. They treated me lovely.
 
Couple more thoughts on Singapore. As LS said, it was the cleanest place I'd ever been. The food was great. And they don't entertain no rule breaking. Two of the stranger things were that it is illegal to chew gum in Singapore and it's illegal to spit.

They take the cleanliness of their city/country serious as fuck. lol.

You should be good. I was only there 4 days and didn't fuck any broads there but I did get attention from some cuties and did some flirting. Singapore is not a 3rd world country so these chicks are not impoverished. Most of the young ones are in college and Singapore is expensive, so they're going to want to go out to dinner and drinks. So you're not going to be able to fuck off the strength of them thinking you're an American. But they do assume you have money if you traveled all the way there.

The main group that gets no play there are Indian cats lmao. They are not having it.

Also Singaporean chicks are not as skinny as Chinese chicks. Some of them had some decent frames on them.

In the Uk there is a glass ceiling, its easier to get on the ladder, but harder to progess.
unless you are a white male, from the right schools and speak the right way
you wont hit the top unless you sell out

In the USA, i feel there are more barriers to getting on,
but once you get on, the only limit is how hard you are willing to work...

Cities like Detroit, Chicago, NYC, Baltimore
where I see black guys in power, doctors, nurses, heads of business
etc etc
Lol, you def don't know how it works here. How long have you been stateside if I might ask? As a well educated native son please don't get ahead of your ski's trying to tell me you know more. Geographical differences in size and topography has a lot to do with the misconception your "feelings" engender. You need to know the history and the politics.
 
the only thing i miss about america is customer service and speed
america is built on speed and efficiency
these other countries just dont give a damn
the customer is always right is an american ideology only
"The cutomer is always right in matters of taste" is the quote. Never intended to mean some jackass can boss around employees and businesses just cause they are spending money. That's that Karen shit white whimps try to slather on everything like mayonaisse.

bruh you did that white people shit on me whether you realize it or not
-its not impoverished
-its not a 3rd world country
-just because youre american

come on fam, do better

with that said, its easy to get pussy overseas when youre seen as exotic
bitches love to fuck just as much as we do
usually all it takes is one date(max 2) in "1st world countries"

my question was based on these countries where they treat adults in their 20s like children. they have to be home at a certain time since they still live with their parents, theyre ridiculously religious, and the culture is just anti-dating

you know i have a better question for you....do they have Tinder in Singapore or Dating in Asia?
if those are used then its easy

Bruh, I was putting that out info out to the board at large. I didn’t mean to imply that’s how YOU rolled. But I can see how it came across so my bad on that. I don't lump you in what the Megatron crew.

They do use Tinder there so you should be straight.

Witnessed that during my first trip to the Caribbean. Was in the ocean and some white folks did something, I don't know what but it pissed off the lifeguard. He checked them and then started in on them, talking about "you white people don't..."

That was my first time traveling to a country where I could blend in w/ the locals or at least not automatically be thought of as American on-site. It was a catalyst moment that made me far more aware of the mental shackles Black Americans can often live with.

In my experience, Black American's abroad are more welcome or at least quicker to be welcomed than White Americans, especially if you are trying to respect customs, greetings, and curious about culture.
 
Some dudes in here never traveled across the Atlantic, but chimming in with negativity lol. The BGOL way.

Great post OP.

Shout out to everyone thats been out there to see they actually got options
 
In Latin America, they usually entertain themselves until everyone arrives. This is why you see a lot of them circled up dancing at functions its usually to past time. I had to learn that shit when I was in Brazil with my gals side of the family.

Here she knows we've got to be 10-15 mins early.
Exactly! And the wait staff knows this. We were having dinner in Panama last night, but we were waiting for one other person, so the waiter did other stuff until our friend showed up. Once he took our orders, the food got there quick.

I have heard this a lot
 
I have traveled all over the world except Africa, Australia and Iceland. I feel like it is same shit different toilet mostly. If you treat folks and their country with respect they respond well.

I haven't really experienced racism, more xenophobia and nationalism, but I have had a good time everywhere I went.

Currently considering moving to either Barcelona Spain or Thailand or South Korea to retire. I honestly haven't ever been to Africa so I can't comment on if I would retire there but it sounds dope.

I agree in lots of places time is slowed down for those folks. When I was active one of my co workers had just pcs'd from Italy to Norfolk and he literally canceled his orders stateside to go back saying he was about to lose his marriage. Said America is too stressful and not worth his time anymore.
 
I spent a week in Vietnam for work and going back early next year. It was a great experience. Food quality was amazing. The people were very friendly, too.




 
I'm in France right now and the quality of the food is not even close. The US allows so many preservatives and chemicals in our food it's just shameful.
Another great thing about where I live. I can walk to the fish market in the morning and buy fish that was caught earlier that morning. I can see the boats coming in from my balcony. The farmers market is across the street from the fish market. I got 3 lbs. of jumbo shrimp for seven bucks yesterday. We've been eating "clean" since we moved here.
