Video Description

I remembered seeing this once-viral video a while ago from Angela aka @realphdfoodie on TikTok/IG about how France made her cry. She filmed it in Lyon, which happens to be the same city I lived in for two years. With that experience and understanding of French/European culture, and since I'm Asian-American as well, I thought I could add some nuanced commentary and turn this into something useful for others out there :) Let me know what you think! Help me make more content like this for you: https://buymeacoffee.com/bryanchoonhou Videos about my move to France: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBRWhrLuONA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wahvuedbmqg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XA9baa9yzH0 Thanks for subscribing and dropping a like, it really goes a long way!
