video I will be going on a road trip. Yes a road  trip! A road trip is a long journey taken by a  

car or bus, but today I'm going to take a road  trip with my car. And it wouldn't be a fun road  

trip without my friends. This is Mateo and Lisanna  and they're going to join me to go on a road  

trip to Chicago. Lisanna, is this your first time  going to Chicago? My first time and I'm really  

excited. And then what are we going to do there? We're going to see the main attractions of the  

city and maybe see some basketball. Right now  we're in Cincinnati and it's really cold and  

it takes four and a half hours to drive to Chicago. Mateo, do you think that's a long drive four and  

a half hours from here to Chicago? That's a  really long drive I think I'm going to take  

a great nap. A nap! Okay Mateo and Lisanna, let's  hit the road and get inside the car. Let's do it!

Okay guys, right now we're inside the car  so go ahead and buckle up and let's put our seat  

belt on. All right! And how do I know where to go? How do I know to get to my destination Chicago?

So you first go to your GPS and then you type in the city (Chicago) and then once I type in my  

city Chicago I hit go and I'm ready to travel to  Chicago. Right now it's 1:22 p.m. and it takes 4  

hours and 39 minutes to travel to Chicago. It takes  282 miles so we'll be arriving around 5:00 p.m.

five o'clock. On this road trip, we are going to see a lot  of road signs on our way to Chicago. I'm going to  

explain each sign I see on the road and on  the highway. For example this sign says  

"Do not litter". This basically means don't throw  garbage or trash on the road or you might be fined $1,000.

The next sign is a cross road  warning sign. It warns the driver that another  

road crosses the main highway ahead. That means  you need to look left and right for traffic. Now  

I'm getting off the road and I will enter the  highway onto Interstate 74 West toward Indianapolis.

in the United States it's pretty common to see  giant blue signs that will tell you what food  

is nearby. Let me know down below if you have  this sign in your city. I'm going to take my  

first exit by getting off the highway via the  exit ramp. This is the exit ramp and the yellow  

sign lets me know I need to lower my speed to 25  mph. In America we use miles per hour we do not  

use kilometers per hour. Okay guys! I just got off  the highway and I'm at my first stop. So the nice  

thing about a GPS is you can actually add stops  and then this will add the time to your GPS to  

your destination. I'm at my first stop Starbucks.  I'm going to drink a cup of coffee I'm going to  

order one inside. I'm going to stretch my legs  because we still have a long way to go. I just  

got my Venti white chocolate mocha from Starbucks.  Also, if you guys don't know what Venti means go  

ahead and check check out my new YouTube video  "Teaching English at Starbucks" because you guys  

would know that Venti is a large. Go ahead and  check it out! Before hitting the road again and  

going towards Chicago I want to ask my friends  a few questions... What do you guys think about the  

trip so far (the road trip)? What do you think about  the highway? Is it bumpy, is it smooth? I think the  

highway in United States is silky smoothly. And  Lisanna, since I'm driving (I'm in the front seat) 

do you think I'm a good driver? I think you're  excellent and I feel very safe. Great! And then  

what do you think about the United States so far  your road trip right now? I think it's really great  

it's good long road and it's not bumpy. Now  let's hop in the car and continue our road trip.

Now I'm entering a work  zone and I need to reduce my speed to 40 miles per hour. 

Flashback: Mateo, do you think that's  a long drive four and a half hours from here  

to Chicago? That's a really long drive. I  think I going to take a great nap.

One hour later...

These cars got pulled over by the  police usually when this happens on the highway  

it creates a lot of traffic. Have you ever got  stuck in traffic? The yellow line on my GPS lets  

me know there's oncoming traffic. Before getting  to Chicago, I want to ask you guys... Are you on

I just made it to my second stop and  right now I'm at the gas station. I'm gonna  

fill up my car with gas. Also, a gas station  is really nice because I can get out of the  

car, stretch my legs, and use the restroom. When  you drive your car or if you're on a road trip  

like I am right now, you have to be aware of your  surroundings when you're driving. For example, you  

have to watch for the different cars around you, you have to watch for construction, you have to  

lower your speed limit if you're driving through  a construction zone, and you have to watch the  

speed limit. Some highways have a higher speed  limit than others. And make sure to follow your  

GPS and watch it so you don't miss your exit. Now  it's time to pump some gas! I'm going to pump my  

gas tank and fill it up, but if you guys want a  full video about gas station vocabulary let me 

know down below! Lisanna, I have a question for  you... What do you think about the gas prices in  

the United States? Do you think they're expensive  or cheap? It's way more cheaper than in my country, 

Estonia because it doesn't produce use gas. How  much does it normally cost to fill up your gas  

tank in Estonia? A car like this would cost $90. Wow  that's expensive. Normally it would cost around $40  

to $50 to fill up your gas tank. And Mateo, what  do you do if you're going over the speed limit  

and a police officer pulls you over? Well here in [the] United States I will keep my hands on the wheel  

and I will just wait 'til the officer comes to  talk to me. Exactly! You'll move to the side of  

the road, you'll put your hazard lights on, and then  yeah you want to put your hands on the steering  

wheel make sure the police officer can see your  hands, and then roll down your window and then  

the police officer will talk with you. And then  once the police officer comes and talks with you  

you have to show him your driver's license (your  ID) as well as your insurance card. Right now we  

haven't seen any tolls so a toll is basically  where you have to pay to drive on a road or  

a bridge, but I think in Chicago there are some  tolls so we'll see that a little bit later. But  

Lisanna, are there tolls in Estonia where you're  from? Everything's free! It's really windy right  

now and it's cold so let's hit the road once  again because we still have one hour and a half to drive.

You can pay the toll with cash, a credit card, or you can purchase a  

monthly EZ Pass so you can pass through  the tolls to save you time and money. [Music

Now I have to pay another toll. It costs six dollars and sixty cents.

$6.60

Hi my loves! Receipt? No thanks! What are you  all filming?

Mateo: It's for our YouTube channel it's a vlog. It's a travel vlog.

Welcome to Chicago.

Mateo: Thank you so much.

The windy city. Bye, my loves!

Peace on earth.

Okay guys, we finally made it to downtown  Chicago. We are at our final destination and we  

didn't get pulled over by the police which  is good. We went to two different tolls and  

paid $6.60 for each toll. And we didn't go over the  speed limit! I have a question for you two... What are  

your first impressions of this city, Chicago? Now I  feel like in [the] USA for the first time. I love it. The  

city is buzzing and it's super nice. It's called  the Windy City for a reason but I don't feel a  

lot of wind it's not too cold, right? We don't  feel any wind right now which is amazing. And  

we need to celebrate. Don't forget to subscribe to  my YouTube channel, but also their YouTube channel.

different countries and explore the cities in  each country. As I said before, Mateo and Lisanna

it, what are you guys going to show around Chicago? What are you guys gonna do here? We are going to  

show a bit of everything. We like to get in touch  with the real culture and interact with people
