It’s crazy, I’m loving it

00:01

Living the American life it’s crazy

00:04

I actually learned to drive out here which was fun

00:07

Had to get a car obviously

00:09

Which I just almost couldn’t get

00:12

Had to fill out form and they want your credit

00:14

because in America credit is very important

00:16

I don’t understand the concept

00:18

I went to the car dealership and there was this Asian gentleman helping me

00:20

And we are going through the forms and he says

00:22

How long have you lived in America for?

00:24

I said I haven’t lived here for long

00:26

He said oh this no good for you, this no good for you

00:30

I said what do you mean

00:31

You can not lease car in America unless you been here long time

00:36

Because you don’t have credit okay

00:39

I said well I’ve got the money to pay for it

00:40

He says yes that’s not the point okay

00:44

That’s not the point in America okay

00:46

In this country we want credit okay

00:48

Our country focus on credit

00:50

If you got good credit you can buy anything

00:53

We don’t care about money we want credit

00:55

I said credit is the assumption that you can pay

00:58

He’s like no that don’t count here okay

01:01

In our country if you got good credit you can buy anything okay

01:05

His like our country our country and I was like

01:07

Look I hate to be rude but when you say our country

01:10

Do you mean our because you live here now

01:13

Or our because the Chinese own it

01:17

And he was like ah it’s a bit of both okay

01:22

But no credit no car for you goodbye

01:27

I couldn’t just buy myself a car

01:29

this horrible thing, drive around

01:31

and that's the worst thing, driving in America, wow

01:34

on the other side of the road

01:36

you feel like a rebel you know

01:38

until you see the other cars coming and then it's not so much fun

01:41

you know how many times I did that, just going to the wrong side?

01:43

Ugh!

01:45

and don’t trust movies, it's not easy to do that whole thing

01:49

No people don’t just drive, no they stop
