British man travels to Canada and is left stunned after spotting huge difference
A British man who travelled to Canada to see his partner was left gobsmacked after spotting a 'mad' difference in houses when driving to her house - but some locals say he's got the wrong idea A Brit who recently travelled to Canada to visit his partner has shared his shocked at a significant difference between the two countries that he can't get his head around. Rayhaan, a man from the UK, took to social media to document his trip to Canada as he visited his wife in the Toronto area for the first time. While it's normal to experience cultural shocks and differences when travelling abroad, and especially when staying with locals, Rayhaan's first cultural shock came during the car ride to his wife's home, where he was baffled by one major dissimilarity to UK houses. "F**k me are these not mansions?" exclaimed Rayhaan at the beginning of his video, which has since racked up over 1.4 million views on his TikTok account. The footage showed them driving through a neighbourhood filled with several large detached houses, each appearing to be spacious two or three-storey homes with integrated garages. "That's a mansion in England. Then, oh, another mansion. You're telling me these ain't mansions?" he questioned his partner, who was behind the wheel. Despite her dismissing his thoughts that the properties were mansions, he said: "What do you mean no? Look at the state of these houses. You're telling me they ain't mansions? [...] F**king hell. Mansion ones." As they continued to drive past through the neighbourhood, they continued to pass several similar houses that were all large detached homes with built in single or double garages, multiple storages, and included a large driveway and front gardens. Some homes also had porches that wrapped around the side of the home. 'This is a madness, I'm telling you, yeah. The houses here are insane," Rayhaan told his viewers. "I just can't get over it. This is just f**ked, it's just stupid. It's absolutely stupid. What is going on bro?" "I don't know why she'd come to England," he said. Viewers quickly took to the comment section to share their thoughts, with many telling Rayhaan that these home were in fact not 'common' Canadian homes. "I'm Canadian, NOT standard houses, those people are wealthy," one viewer insisted, while another said: "Those are definitely NOT average middle class houses." Another viewer wrote: "They're priced like mansions now so let's just call them mansions and be done with it,". A fellow Brit also shared his thoughts as he wrote: "As a British man in Canada I can confirm this is true... but after living here for five years it's sad to say that these are just average homes with million $ price tags which is ridiculous and what makes it worse is that these homes are made out of cardboard literally not even worth that much at max they should be $350 K.." Another Brit claimed: "In South England they build a house like that, divide it into 4 terraced houses and sell them for 400k each."

Brit who visited Canada says he 'can't get over' major difference to houses
A British man who travelled to Canada to see his wife for the first time was left amazed by the size of the houses in the Toronto area - but many locals were quick to tell him 'the truth' Rayhaan, a Brit who recently jetted off to Canada to meet his partner, has gone viral on social media after sharing his first impressions of Canadian homes, which he found astonishingly different from those back in the UK. The astonished traveller took to TikTok to post a video from the car as he headed to his wife's home in the Toronto area - a clip that's now racked up over 1.4 million views. Used to the more modestly-sized homes in the UK, Rayhaan couldn't help but express his amazement at the size of the local houses during his drive as they travelled through a residential neighbourhood. "F**k me are these not mansions?" Rayhaan said at the start of his viral TikTok video, as the camera pans over several grand detached properties boasting multiple storeys and integrated garages. As they continue driving by the residential neighbourhood, he stated: "That's a mansion in England. Then, oh, another mansion. You're telling me these ain't mansions?" In disbelief, Rayhaan questions his partner behind the wheel, who quickly denied his statement that the homes were mansions, prompting him to say: "What do you mean no? Look at the state of these houses. You're telling me they ain't mansions? [...] F**king hell. Mansion ones." As they continued to drive past through the neighbourhood, they continued to pass several similar houses that were all large detached homes with built in single or double garages, multiple storages, and included a large driveway and front gardens. Some homes also had porches that wrapped around the side of the home. "This is a madness, I'm telling you, yeah. The houses here are insane," Rayhaan said to his viewers. "I just can't get over it. This is just f**ked, it's just stupid. It's absolutely stupid. What is going on bro?". "I don't know why she'd come to England," he said. Viewers quickly chimed in with their thoughts, with many pointing out that these were not typical Canadian homes. "I'm canadian, NOT standard houses, those people are wealthy," one viewer insisted, while another added: "Those are definitely NOT average middle class houses. "They're priced like mansions now so let's just call them mansions and be done with it," another commented wryly. A British expat also weighed in, saying: "As a British man in Canada I can confirm this is true... but after living here for five years it's sad to say that these are just average homes with million $ price tags which is ridiculous and what makes it worse is that these homes are made out of cardboard literally not even worth that much at max they should be $350 K.."
