In the dramatic comparison video, she mentions the biggest differences between the two places, including the fact that not many people speak Afrikaans where she comes from. 

"I swear to you I had never in my life until I was 18, I had never heard someone speak Afrikaans," she said.

"I didn't think that people actually spoke Afrikaans."

Other differences included animals, politics, and weather, to name a few.
