USA First Trip! Smoky Mountains✨ | தமிழ் Vlog | Indian in USA

We have posted a travel video after a long time. As you know, we had recently shifted from Germany to the US. It took us 2-3 months to settle down. This is October, which is the fall season in the US. Since we are on a trip now, it's not too cold. We are planning to go to the Smoky Mountains to see the colors. We took the car at 4 in the morning. This is an 8-hour travel. We stopped at a rest area to eat the Idli and Chutney we brought. Since it's a 4-day trip, we had to eat outside. So we decided to have breakfast and lunch from home. I didn't know what I was going to do until I reached here. But when I heard about the helicopter tour, I was very surprised. The helicopter ride was very good. So we really ask for you guys to walk in tune from the helicopter. Keep your phones, cameras, anything like that put away until you are on it. On the inside, you guys can take a bow. Keep walking out here, okay? Since it was our first helicopter ride, we were all very excited. We didn't understand what was going on when we were in the helicopter. Even though we were in the helicopter, it was a different kind of happiness. We were very excited. We could put our headsets in the helicopter and listen to the captain. We could even talk to the captain. We booked this helicopter ride for 15 minutes. You can book as many minutes as you want. The charges will be applied accordingly. We paid $70 for a person for 15 minutes. We should have pre-booked for this ride. We called 30 minutes before we arrived and checked the availability before booking. As soon as we arrived, it was very sharp. So they picked us up and let us get down in 15 minutes. Before we ride, they will take professional photos of us. It will be uploaded automatically here. If you want, you can pay for these photos. You can also pay for hot copies. Digital prints are also available. You have to pay accordingly. They also have scenic boating adventures. We didn't book that. Because it started to get a little cold in the fall season. At the place where we rode the helicopter, there was a chair and table outside. We sat there and ate the chicken and chapati we brought. You can also get basic food like nuggets in the truck here. There is a gold mining setup here. Kids can play here. There is water and jello. Kids can play with stones. We left Indiana state in the US and came to Tennessee. The name of this city is Gatlinburg. We did two activities on the first day. One was helicopter ride. The other was zip line ride. This zip line is Legacy Mountain. It is the biggest zip line in Gatlinburg. There are 6 zip lines here. We booked a hotel called Clarion. We are going to sleep only in the night. Because we will wake up in the morning and leave for the trip. Breakfast was included here. The room was decent and nice. There is a TV here. Breakfast was typically English breakfast. There were cereals, bread, jam etc. There was a waffle maker here. We made our own waffles and ate them. We ate our waffles in the waffle maker. In Europe, they don't have waffle makers. So we saw this waffle maker and decided to make our own waffles. After 2 minutes, the waffles were ready. We opened the waffle maker. We heated the waffles in the waffle maker. The reason we chose the Great Smoky Mountains is because we heard that the fall colors here are very beautiful. That's why we came to the Great Smoky Mountains to see the fall colors. Unfortunately, this year, the fall colors were not as beautiful as we expected. We were a little upset. There were no colors anywhere. Everything was green. There was only yellow. We couldn't see red colors anywhere. So we kept looking for fall colors. Everyone who came to the Great Smoky Mountains this year had this kind of view. They even posted it on Instagram. Traveling in the U.S. is easier than traveling in Europe. Driving, roads, restaurants, places to stay, everything is comfortable. But Europe is Europe. When we compare Europe to the U.S., the beauty and mesmerizing beauty is less. When we first came to the U.S., we were always comparing Europe to the U.S. I think it will change as time goes by. We used to think that the colors here are not as beautiful as we expected. But traveling, talking, staying, the warmth of the people, everything is very comfortable. There are pros and cons to every country. That's why we are trying to be the gel of this country. The name of this city is Gatlinburg. There is a tourist spot called Anakista. There is a huge queue for that. That's why we didn't go to Anakista. Everything was different in this city. This mansion was a little creepy. When we went near it, they had a wall to scare us. I don't know if this is a model house or what's inside. We saw it for the video. We stayed near it for a while. We stayed in Europe for 4 years approximately. There is a lot of cultural difference between Europe and the U.S. In the U.S., there are a lot of times when we feel like we are in India. Be it the road, driving style, talking to people, everything is easy. But in Europe, we feel like we are roaming around a lot. We feel like that every day. Compared to that, the lifestyle here is very easy. We are going to see the Skyline Bridge. Anakista is very famous here. You might have seen it in previous clippings. There is a long queue for it. It takes 1.5 to 2 hours to stand in a queue. We are planning to go to the Skyline Bridge so that we don't have to go to crowded places. This is a big hanging bridge. It is connected to both the mountains. When you walk on it, you can see the whole city. You can see the beautiful colors of the Smoky Mountains. But this year, there are not that many colors. It is a little disappointing. There is a glass bridge in the middle. When I was walking on it, I was a little scared. Everyone was walking slowly. Not only that, you can see a lot of Indians here, not like in Europe. We can see a lot of people. But in Europe, it is a big deal to see one or two people. There are not that many people. In the town of Gatlinburg, there is a beautiful German village. It is a European themed village. When we went inside, everything was beautiful. When we went inside, we felt like we were in Germany. So we looked around the village. Everything was cute and decorated. We didn't have to pay any fees to look around the village. We looked around and saw a lot of cute photo spots. There are a lot of shops here. Everything you see here is a shop. Every shop is different. We can go inside and buy things. It is a little expensive. These are specialized shops. They sell local products. Gatlinburg is located in the state of Tennessee. We crossed two states and came to Tennessee from Indiana. It is an 8 hour drive. The design of the houses and the decoration of the trees and the board and the text make us feel like we are in Germany. It is very beautiful. The village looks like this In the US, people are very friendly. They smile a lot and talk a lot. When I was taking photos here, a foreigner was standing next to me and smiling. We can't see such attitudes in Europe. We can't say they are rude. It is their nature. They take a lot of time They talk only when they get to know They stop when you say hi. We have that disconnect in Europe. Wherever we go, we can't talk to everyone happily. We have to think a lot and look at their privacy. It is happening here in the US. It is a small thing. But, when we live for many years, it will impact our lifestyle. It will become a boring life. If we stay at home and talk to each other for 4-5 years, think about our mentality. We come from a country like India where we used to live with a lot of people. But, it is cold there. When we go out, no one talks to us. When we go to a place, it is difficult to talk. They hesitate to talk to us. They look down on us. That is the difference here. Here, they are very warm and talk to us happily. If we want to ask something, we don't have to think about it. It is very common here. When we go on a trip, in the hotels we stay, they have offers like this. If we take this card and go to a place, they will give us 10-20% offer. We are checking if there is any offer for the place we go. If you are new to the US and stay in a hotel, don't forget to check the tickets. Photo? No, without photo. Next, we are going to a small theme park. PGN FORGE is the name of this theme park. We chose this theme park because we don't want to spend the whole day in a big theme park. At the same time, there are many theme parks in this area. So, we decided to try one. This is a small theme park. There are only 10-20 rides, but it is kids friendly. So, if you have kids, if you want to go to a theme park like this, it is enough for them to enjoy. Even if there are 10-20 rides, it is suitable for kids. Adults can also enjoy. Another wow factor is that they have naturally decorated everything to look beautiful. Dinosaurs talk, make sounds, and move. Everything is man-made. They have done a good job in that. Even the little one has moved a little and the eyes are moving. It looks natural when you see it in person. We went at 4 o'clock in the evening. We went to all the rides 3-2 times till 8 o'clock. We got unlimited pass. Unlimited pass means you can go as many rides as you want. We went to all the rides 2-3 times. My daughter enjoyed a lot. It was not too extreme or too dumb. It was average. I can't go to extreme roller coasters. It was a perfect spot for me. After a long time, there will be theme parks like this in Germany. We have seen theme parks like this, mountains, natural beauty. This is the first time we are exploring like this after a long time. Since it is October, it started to get cold after 7 o'clock. We didn't bring jackets because it was 4 o'clock. It started to get colder so we left the place at 8 o'clock. Another difference from Europe is that they don't even walk. They don't even look at walking. It doesn't even take 5 minutes to walk from here to Pigeon Forge. In Europe, it is normal to walk for 20 minutes or half an hour or an hour. You have to keep walking in any tourist spot. I have to touch it or not? This is nice. Will it make sound? Touch him? No, it is not making sound. Smoky Mountain is full of activities like this. How can we not go for a roller coaster? In Europe, we love roller coasters like this. My son loves it. This is the longest roller coaster in Europe. It took us 20 minutes. The price is $25 per person. There are two parallel lanes. Some people come with us. We can keep it like a race. We have a controller. If we press it, it will go fast. If we pull it up, it will go slow. We can slow it down If we go fast, nothing will happen. It will be exciting. When I heard about Smoky Mountain, I thought it would be very smoky and beautiful. But here, there are many man-made items. There are gigantic reverse houses, gorilla houses, magic houses, camera houses. There are many gigantic things. Look at the beautiful castles. We have to spend money for each. We can pick and choose what we like. Whatever it is, the US is the best. The decorations were amazing. The statues were beautiful. We are going to leave this place after taking photos and videos. This place is full of places where we can spend money. We don't like it. We came here to see natural places. Smoky Mountain is not like that. We are going to Virginia State. The colors were beautiful. We are going to have a burger at Wendy's. We came to Virginia State for the fall colors. There were no colors in Smoky Mountain. But in Virginia State, the colors were beautiful. We came to a national park in Virginia State. The colors are beautiful. We are going to spend some time here and go to the hotel. They organized a wedding here. When we talked to them, they told us that it was a dog wedding. It was funny. They decorated the dog with necklaces and told us that they are getting married. We were laughing. When we talked to them, it was funny. But they meant it. In the next clipping, I added the dogs getting married. He is so cute with the bird. So cute. See how he is hanging. Tell him it's not safe. On the way from here, this dog was roaming alone. Generally, dogs are not on the road. It was roaming with a belt. It had a phone number on the belt. We called the dog and reported that we missed the dog. We told them to call us if the dog was roaming around. The people who went there told us that it was a local dog. It will come here often. Their home is here. Let's go. If you want, I can show you the location. I can do that for you. We came to a Mediterranean restaurant for dinner. I have never been to a restaurant like this in my life. Even when I was in Germany, I went to an Italian restaurant. I have never tried a Mediterranean or Mexican food. In the US, all the restaurants were good. But this restaurant was fresh and tasty. He ordered it. Morning drinks are good. Okay, eat guys. The next place we came to is Hawking Hills in Ohio State. We have covered 5 to 6 states in this trip. We have covered 3 states in travel and 3 states in sight. Tennessee, Ohio and Virginia. We have seen all 3 states. We have crossed 6 states in this trip. It was very different. When we crossed states, the travel tiredness was not there. When we compared it to Germany, even if you travel for 4 hours in Switzerland, the travel tiredness was very low. The traffic rules were very strict. But here, the speed limit was like India. It was very comfortable to drive. Lost in nature? We are lost in nature. Wow, this is nice. This is nice. This is what I like. So good. Hey Arun, this is so good. Lovely. This is a small hiking trail, so kids can also do it. Everyone came here as a family. There was very little water here. If there was water, this place would have been more beautiful. But when we came here, there was very little water. But it was very comfortable to go hiking here. What a majestic cave. You know, this is a majestic rock. So good. There is no entry fee for this hiking trail. It is free. We can go inside and look around. This majestic mountain and this rock were very beautiful. It was very peaceful. This is the only mountain place in this trip. Even though we went to the Smoky Mountain, we didn't see much there. But here, it was very relaxing. After coming to the US, we traveled less. Because wherever we go, it feels like we are taking a flight. Otherwise, it feels like we are traveling for 7-10 hours. So with my daughter, we avoid traveling for a long time. We travel for 5-6 hours maximum. So this was our long travel trip. We don't know where our next trip will be. We don't know if we can upload videos frequently. I will try to share videos If you liked this video, what can we improve? What did you like in this video? What else do you want to see? Please share in the comments. I will try to incorporate as much as I can. But I am not able to concentrate on YouTube. When I have time, when I am free, I will post videos. Because my job profile in the US is a leadership profile. So I will focus on that. My next focus will be on my family. YouTube is an extra. So I will do it when I have time. That is what is strong in my mind. I don't want to get stressed. See you all in the next video. Bye Bye.
