American stunned by 'unique' British city and says people are 'different'
A US tourist who visited the UK has shared his thoughts on a popular city in the north and was left shocked by the whole experience, including how 'chilled' it was An American bloke visiting Leeds couldn't help but express his surprise at the city, quipping that "people up north are a different breed," and he's absolutely smitten with them. But what struck him as so remarkable about the city? TikToker @kjordyyy, self-dubbed "A Meer yank amongst Brits," shared that he's currently exploring Leeds. "And this place has to be one of the most chillest places I've ever been to in the UK so far," he enthused. Kjordy showcased the cityscape, remarking: "You can't tell me this isn't peaceful," noting its serene vibe compared to other bustling metropolises. Then, he touched on the local twang, labelling it one of the most "unique accents" he's encountered, adding: "It's definitely northern". Delving deeper into the dialect, he recounted: "I was talking to this guy, his name was Joe, he was like 'my names J-err,' like the o's like err's. It was interesting to say the least". Kjordy observed that "everyone's just chilling, everyone's relaxing, minding their own business. Not a care in the world bro". He contrasted Leeds with London, relishing the laid-back aura of the northern hub. He lauded the historic buildings and the quaint alleyways he meandered through. "Kinda random, but I heard someone go up to another guy and say 'giz a butty'. Apparently that's local lingo here in Leeds for asking for a sandwich," he clarified. And he described the people of Leeds as "so kind," because he was "up north," and he even praised "how cheap it is" too, saying that he managed to get a pint of beer for £3.63. "£3 for a pint is insane," he gushed. Secret London reports that the average pint in the capital typically costs around £6.50, making Leeds a much more wallet-friendly option for a tipple. Kjordy expressed his astonishment at finding a meal for just £8, which left him seriously impressed. Wrapping up his video, Kjordy declared: "All in all, Leeds is a sick city, awesome people, good food and cool architecture. I give it a solid 8/10, and I'll probably rank it UK's fourth best city so far". In the comments section, one user enthused: "Leeds is an absolutely elite city and gets far too much hate". Another chimed in with a slightly different take: "It's an elite city, good for shopping but there are lots of rude people in Leeds unfortunately which makes it bad vibes". Jumping to the city's defence, someone retorted: "There's rude people everywhere. Where have you been and there's no rude people?" A proud local exclaimed: "My beautiful glorious Leeds, I love you Yorkshire," showcasing the strong affection residents have for their city. One woman humorously shared her sense of pride: "The pride I get when I hear someone talking about Leeds, as though I'm the only person that's ever been born here".
