  • (AIKO) What!? (GREG) Aren't you gonna say something

  • (AIKO) Aaaauuhm! Hello, world! This is what streets around the world are like.

  • (SANDRA) Hi! I'm Sandra. (GREG) Wow! Thanks for making that intro for us!

  • (AIKO) Yeah. (GREG) I'm going to use my IPad to read this, because I won't pronounce it correctly

  • or don't know how to even say it. But let me try. It's... The first person up is Madhavsreedar, and she lives in Trivandrum...

  • And I did not pronounce that right. And where is that? (AIKO) It's in India.

  • (GREG) And what about India? What did you see in the video? (AIKO) Well... Um... The streets are really busy.

  • (GREG) Yeah. Super busy. And what about the small streets? (AIKO) The small streets are kind of... mmm... kind of broken?

  • (MADHAVSREEDAR) Hello, world! So in this video I'm going to show you what an indian street is like.

  • So as you can see, this is the main street, and it has horrendous traffic,

  • and it's always like this, it's very crowded.

  • (car horns and siren getting louder)

  • So this is really the front of the street.

  • And these old houses here...

  • And the road. The quality of the road is also different. This is really bad, full of holes.

  • So the particular street I am at now is a really difficult street because of this slope

  • and the narrowness of the street.

  • Here is one type of ___ , as you see.

  • I don't know if there is something special or useful from this video, but thanks for watching.

  • (SHIN) I like the one they have like, on the street, they have some monkeys.

  • (GREG) Oh! The monkey sign. Yeah. (SHIN) Yeah. That was funny.

  • (GREG) All right. Next up is Nathan and he is the Ninja Monkey in Gibraltar.

  • (AIKO) Yeah. Um... His town... I mean, city kind of thing, is really small,

  • and there is monkeys in it. But they'll bite you.

  • (GREG) And it's an old castle town. (AIKO) Yeah.

  • (NATHAN) Hi! I'm Nathan, from the channel Ninja Monkey,

  • and where I'm from in Gibraltar, this is what our streets are like. Follow me!

  • Where I'm from we have outdoor scalators, like the one behind me, that join streets together.

  • Where I'm from we have these dark streets, with steps on them, like the one behind me,

  • which dates back to as far as 1789.

  • You can buy all sorts of stuff like, for example, a Moroccan cake.

  • What is it? (VENDOR) It's almonds. (NATHAN) Almonds.

  • And we pay with the British pound here, because Gibraltar is British.

  • Where I'm from we have traditional phone booths in the streets, like the one behind me.

  • Our streets sometimes have two names, like this one here.

  • Castle street's the new street name, and calle Comedia, the Spanish traditional name,

  • which we use both. What are we gonna do?

  • Where I'm from, we have British pubs, like the one behind me, The Horseshoe.

  • And The Royal Calpe. Or The Gibraltar Arms. And The Angry Friar.

  • And the cannons.

  • On our streets there are many places where we can have coffee

  • and some squares where you can enjoy a nice meal.

  • We also have some interesting architectural features like balconies, that have Venetian blinds and Victorian balconies.

  • We sometimes find monkeys in our streets, which is why we have a sign like this one.

  • "Do not feed the macaques." Or they will bite.

  • So that's what some of our streets are like here in Gibraltar, where I'm from.

  • What are streets like where you're from?

  • (GREG) All right. Next up is Cristina and she lives in Lisbon. (AIKO) Which is Portugal.

  • (GREG) Yup. It's in Portugal. (AIKO) Yup. (GREG) And what about it? (AIKO) It has a... what do you call it? Aqua...

  • (GREG) Aqueduct. (AIKO) Yup. Aqueduct. It's kinda like a bridge.

  • But like... It looks like a bridge in which you can put cars, but it has water in it.

  • (CRISTINA) Hello, world! My name is Cristina, and where I'm from in Lisbon, Portugal, this is what streets are like.

  • Streets are normally like this, like dead end streets.

  • I used to play in here, when I was little.

  • Portuguese people love parks and just to chill. They chill everywhere! (laughs)

  • This is our aqueduct that brings water to everyone across town.

  • That's my elementary school and it's like 5 minutes from my house,

  • but I always managed to arrive like 10 or 15 minutes late.

  • Almost every street has these for recycling the garbage.

  • See you next time! Bye!

  • (AIKO) Next video is Mae and she lives in Cambridge, England.

  • (MAE) Hi, everyone! Streets in England differ greatly, depending on wherever is you live.

  • Most villages where we're from are hundreds of years old.

  • You'll often see a big mix of the types of houses that you'll see on the street.

  • Here you can see a 1960's bungalow and a Victorian house as neighbors.

  • And there is a XVII century Dutch cottage here next to the 1970's new built house.

  • On quiet roads like this you can go out with your friends and play ball games or rollerblading.

  • This is a bike path. It's where when you're riding your bike you have to go on that lane,

  • but when you're walking, you have to go on this lane.

  • The street that ___ is called the High Street. The High Street is the most popular street name in the whole UK.

  • The High Street is where you find the shops.

  • While you can live on bigger roads, most people live on purely housing streets, like this cul-de-sac.

  • Lots of paths have grass ___ and maybe some trees on them.

  • I hope you've enjoyed learning about streets on our part of England.

  • What are streets like where you're from?

  • (GREG) Next video you're about to see is from Madeleine and Kiva, and they live in Boston.

  • (GREG) Yeah. And where is Boston? (AIKO) In America.

  • (GREG) United States. (AIKO) Yeah.

  • (MADELEINE) Hello, world! This is what streets are like in New England.

  • We live on a busy street.

  • In our neighborhood it's mostly houses, because we live in what is called the suburbs.

  • Here, like in the rest of the country, people drive in the correct... I mean, the right side of the road.

  • Most main streets have double yellow lines down the middle, in order to separate the two lanes of traffic.

  • Our neighborhood has been labeled a "school zone", because we live right next to an elementary school.

  • In school zones, people have to drive slower so as not to run over any children.

  • This is what our street signs look like.

  • Quite of our streets often don't have sidewalks and are a lot more uneven.

  • At each crosswalk we have this bumpy rectangles, which are there so blind people know when they've reached the end of the sidewalk.

  • Many streets have storm drains, where water runs off, but not waste.

  • And this is our house, with the cute red door and the white picket fence, because we're living that American dream.

  • America. Wooooh!

  • Pebble, come back. Come back, kitty.

  • (GREG) For the next video it's Simon, in Santiago.

  • (AIKO) And his street... I mean, where he lives, his streets has lots of... what do you call it? Spray thing?

  • (GREG) What's...? Yeah! Spray... Graffiti. (AIKO) Yeah. Graffiti. And this is... this looks like graffiti.

  • (GREG) And what country is Santiago? (AIKO) Um... Chil... le...

  • (GREG) Chillay? Chilleh? I don't know how to pronounce it. (AIKO) Chilleh. Chilleh. Yeah.

  • (SIMON) Hello. I'm Simon. I'm from Santiago de Chile.

  • So the place was very noisy, so I decided to record the audio apart from the video.

  • There is a convenient stored called "OK Market".

  • I go (there) sometimes, when I need to buy a drink or something.

  • This is the subway. We call it the "Metro".

  • There's a small park called "Plaza de la Aviación".

  • There is some kind of structure in the middle of the park.

  • I think it's kind of cool. It's like the best park from where I live.

  • As you may have noticed, the place is filled with graffiti.

  • Thank you for watching!

  • (GREG) He's kinda like the alien! (SHIN) No. He's not an alien. He's...

  • (GREG) But it kinda looks like the alien. (SHIN) This is Totoro.

  • (GREG) Look at... Look at this. Look at this. (SHIN) This is Totoro.

  • (SHIN) And this is not an alien.

  • (GREG) So something neat that we saw was that people sent in images of the countryside. And what's "countryside" in Japan?

  • (AIKO) It's called "inaka".

  • (RAY) And at the end of our yard, all the way down, you can see one of our neighbors cornfields.

  • And there's our street, in front of our house.

  • Along that street runs this deep and wide ditch that runs for miles.

  • Now, the cornstalks can get up to 8 ft high.

  • (SIMAS) You can barely see the horizon.

  • It's like a road leading to nowhere.

  • Those rape fields are just enchanting.

  • So this is what streets look like where I'm from, Lithuania.

  • (Lenny) This is another part of the countryside.

  • (AIKO) And we saw lots of videos with animals in them. So they had like cows and dogs... well, dogs are normal.

  • (GREG) Horses... Goats!

  • (ANA) (laughs) Hey! (laughs)

  • (dog is barking)

  • (ANA) (laughs)

  • (RAY) I stopped beside the road to take some video of these horses.

  • But none of them are interested in me because they're all eating out of their throughs.

  • (DENISSE) And you get nature inventions... I mean, invasions,

  • such as goats, cows and horses,

  • which is a cause of traffic.

  • (GREG) And lots of people sent us videos of their parks. (AIKO) Yeah.

  • (GREG) Do you like visiting parks in Japan? (AIKO) Mmm... They are fun and we play with my friends.

  • (GREG) Aaah.

  • (SANDRA) This is what the outside of my house looks like. I live in a corner lot.

  • The road is one lane for each direction.

  • My mother often runs up and down the block, and she'll stretch on the benches.

  • (MAYA) And this is what our street is like.

  • As you can see it's really loud and it gets pretty busy every day.

  • (GREG) So apparently it's cloudy in Ireland a lot, but... (AIKO) He said it was a nice day.

  • (GREG) Yes. We have some nice footage from Ireland. (AIKO) Yeah.
