Huliganov's Philadelphia, part 1.

This deals with the difficulties of getting across the Atlantic when the first plane to Frankfurt takes off two hours late and the connecting flight has to delay so you can get on. The luggage came two days later. When we arrived in Philadelphia, it was raining the way it rains all the time in America whenever I go there but never seems to on your Hollywood films unless they've got George Clooney in, in which case it's studio hands chucking it from the sides in buckets, and it's really perfumed rosewater.

Here's where to come to see the real America. And we go to America's first capital, to where American citizenship all began, to where a bunch of English people abroad decided that they wanted to be something else, and wanting to was, in the end, really all they needed. Now they really are something else, as you will see, as the series unfolds...

How do you FILE A DELPHIA?

Not sure, but if it's in the States you'd sure as hell better do it within te filing deadlines!

He reminds me of a KGB spy in that little toilet with the headphones.

And you're so right, this is *real* America.

Wow, that was some traffic jam you were in.

Look forward to the next videos.

Somehow I managed to be the last person through, after a homeland security lady decided to encourage me to go to a different line which was going to be quicker, and then the person ahead in that line had some anomalies in their documents.

Sounds like you had quite a discussion with him. I normally just get asked briefly if I am carrying any booze in my baggage and then am let through!

I was me at the entry point, but somehow the conversation got round to language learning. I can't remember how, as we started on accountancy, but these guys are trained interrogators, forget auditors.

haha so Huliganov was in character even off camera?

That's a good ploy, he'll let you back in next time!
