I am an American who visits the UK – the heat feels different here and I don’t know how British survive

An American tourist who visits the UK has admitted that the British again ‘feels different’ and that the heat is more serious.

Content Creator Kalani Ghost Hunter, Real name Kalani Smith, van TennesseeHas spent months through the United Kingdom in an attempt to immerse itself in the culture – from sampling the afternoon tea to trying to find the best chippy.

The UK is currently experiencing a heat wave, in which the nation is set this week to reach scorching temperatures of 30 degrees.

Americans are known for having fun with British who complain about it The weather with some they call them ‘dramatically’ and claim that they would not ‘survive in the US’ – where the temperatures are generally much hotter.

Kalani admitted that although he had ‘doubted’ the British in the beginning, he now believes that the heat in the UK ‘feels different’ – and he does not know how people ‘survive’ without air conditioning.

He told his Tiktok -Page: ‘I always thought that British people were lying when they said how hot it is here, but for some reason it feels like you are melting.

‘It really feels like my b ****** s sweating from my pants every time I walk somewhere where I have sweaty b *** s.

“I know it gets hotter at home and the humidity is just as bad at home, but walking in these streets and walking in my hotel room for some reason, it feels like I’m in sauna.”

Kalani – who has 3.2 million followers on TIKTOK – said he just doesn’t know how British dealing with the sizzling temperatures without having their homes or at work – as is often seen in the United States.

He added: ‘I know you don’t need it all year round, but let me tell yourself at home, I get that nice relief of some cold air.

“Here it is just misery everywhere and you wonder why British complain so much about the weather, it’s because it can be miserable.”

During its time in the UK, Kalani has discovered that it is easy to start a conversation with almost every Brit, simply by mentioning it again.

He gave some advice to tourists and added: ‘To be honest, if you want to chat with a Brit, just look around and start talking about the weather. It is the easiest way to start a conversation with someone here – it’s a British pastime.

“I never knew why until I came here and experience how s *** this can actually be.”

The Kalani clip achieved 1.7 million views on Tiktok in less than a day with thousands of reactions from Britons who felt validated.

One wrote: “Wait until you try to sleep without AC on Thursday evening when it touches 28.”

Another one written: “Every American who comes by and experiences us again has an” ahhhh I get it now. “

A third said, “If we say” it’s a different kind of heat, “we mean it!”

A fourth said: “Well – for someone from the Philippines I can’t handle the summer in the UK. I’ve been here since 2009. ”

In another video, Kalani visited a local supermarket and even put his head in the refrigerators to cool down.

He also revealed the three cultural shocks he experienced when he moved to the UK.

One thing that surprised him was the different portion sizes, and admitted that he ordered a big drink in the UK for the first time, he knew it for a small one.

Kalani said: “My mind was like” this is a small one. If you are not familiar with drinks in the US, you can get a small state -sized cup for a dollar 50. It is absolutely amazing.

Wanted by the British standards, he added: “If you get out of the US, you realize that this is not the norm.”

He had also not realized how different the tip culture is.

“If you get your check at the end of the dinner, and they don’t ask for a tip, and they don’t even give you an option to tip, it’s really strange,” he said.

“For example, if you go into the US and you start eating, say it’s $ 60, it’s common to leave an extra 20 percent on top that for your service staff.”

The content -maker went on, “but in the UK it is not the norm to leave something extra at the top.”

The internet personality said that sometimes he still tips waiters and waitresses, but he ‘no longer feels the same pressure’ to splash the money.

The third adjustment that Kalani had to learn to adjust was the British humor, which he described as ‘very dry, very dark and very passive aggressive’.

However, when the social media star began to understand the British sarcasm, he admitted that it became ‘really funny’.

He said, “They have so many different ways to insult you and so many different ways to say things that almost sometimes translates a different language.”

Kalani described the British comedy as ‘elite’ and said that he was exposed to it for the first time when reading comments about his messages.

“I grew to name many people ‘melt’ and really enjoy it,” he added.

After two days, the clip picked up nearly 800,000 views and more than a thousand comments, in which British rings about tipping staff during the vacation in the United States.

It was written: “The reason that you do not expect that he is tipping in the UK is because service personnel actually get a wage and are extra tips, not in the US where servers only survive on tips.”

Another one written, “been in America and hated the fact that I had to taster for someone who literally just sat me and took my order.”

A third said, “Our joke is the best, the more you love someone, the worse the insults.” A fourth said: “I couldn’t tips in the US. Couldn’t afford it. ‘
