You look way more natural and happier than a year ago. From a Spaniard living in US that somehow got you on my feed for the last year. I miss Europe, man.
Interesting how you have analyzed things more deeply, and you go beyond the typical clichés about meal times hehe And nice to see that someone can learn from anywhere. That makes you smarter than the average person
I'm glad you've been able to adapt to Spanish culture, which is radically different from that of the United States, but also from the rest of Europe, particularly in terms of schedules. I follow RUclipsrs from the United States living in Spain. Perhaps the most famous is Rachel Anne from Texas. She came as an exchange student and, in the end, has been living in Spain for 9 years now. She agrees with many of the things you mention in this video about personality and the way people speak directly. In the United States, we’d be biting our tongues all day; it seems like people get offended if the direction of the wind changes. In Spain, we have a saying: 'If you get mad, you’ve got two jobs: getting mad and getting over it.'🤣
The best thing of your actual life is you're becoming a better human being, better person. As a spaniard or european it makes me feel happy. Keep going
Cafe cultural is something I find I can no longer live without. For me the staring thing can be double edge sword. Unfortunately, some stare for not so nice reasons. In my circle, if we see someone who we want to compliment... we acknowledge by saying so or with a smile and nod to them. I have so many pleasant exchanges by doing so.
The make up part is true with the exception of the UK. I'm a Spaniard living in England for almost a decade and the amount of make up girls can wear on a regular work day still shocks me.
About the social aware in Spain. A woman in the street salute me an almost hug me when I was walking the dog. Se tell me for 4 years since my dog was a puppy she always see me walking my dog at 6:35 am just when she is having breakfast. I was like a another clock for her. And she told my she has the need to meet me and knows for sure I'm a good person for how a threat my dog. I'm so happy that my cover to hide the psychopath in me work so well.
Girl probably next lesson for you in incorporating Spanish culture is incorporating spontaneity. Attachment to structure is only so good. If something is fun and a better option than what you had planned then go for it.
Always great to see people from abroad share what they like about our country, makes me think about how we just take some of them for granted now and don't value them. But, no hard feelings, people from the US have this weird habit of thinking a single country in Europe makes up for the whole of Europe, at least when speaking of it. European countries do share some characteristics and ways of life, so to speak, but we are quite different countries as well. Here in Spain alone there are many different backgrounds and people
“Dont look Into the people eyes”, that’s the first thing my american friend told me when I visited the United States and we were walking around New York.
Ny'er here...the difference is looking and acknowledging versus staring. The staring that is done here definitely is not something we do, it is considered rude to us. Just another cultural difference. 😊
About makeup. As a spaniard man I can say we don't like too much painting in the face (we say "ir pintada como una puerta" "painted as a door ").You have to be proud of your natural beauty.And Danielle, you can be proud 🥰🥰
I think she deserves the compliment, well done. Allow me to be a little (or a lot) prescriptive with grammar and sociolinguistics, though. Although it is true that some people in the USA are starting to use it as an adjective, "Spaniard" is a noun. You are a "Spanish man" or a "Spaniard". Spanish (adj)= from Spain (not as they use it = *anyone who speaks Spanish).
😂😂😂 I have a friend that lived in UK nearly a year and a half and she felt dishelved while partying there. She wears little makeup and she prefers pants and shirts when she go out. Her British friends wore small skirts (whitout stockings) and tiny tops (in December) with high heels and a ton and a half makeup on their faces. She says they change their face tone and you are able to see where exactly ends the makeup job because there is a line. She never understood them.
Las cosas que mas vemos como insignificantes los españoles, son las que mas valoran los extranjeros cuando vienen a nuestro querido país, me encanta ver este tipo de video para apreciar aun mas todas esos detalles y cosas lindas que nos proporciona día a día y que a veces no valoramos lo suficiente. Pd: Las mujeres con poco o ningún maquillaje siempre estaréis mucho mas lindas que maquilladas, en mi humilde opinión hace que se veáis mas naturales y bonitas. Un abrazo guapa.
Como que eso de salir por la noche hasta las tantas es específico de Madrid???? En absoluto. En todos los pueblos y ciudades la gente joven sale mucho por la noche. Los más mayores sois se ha llegado de mis en " Tardeo" o sea lo mismo pero salir a comer y pasar toda la tarde por ahí hasta .....
Would be grateful for any tips on where to find a large commercial gym in Madrid with comprehensive strength training equipment (e.g. deadlifting platforms, smith machines, etc.). I am unfamiliar with the brands/chains and need to find one where I can drop in for a fee (over a 1 week time span).
You really need to understand why things are the way they are. I’m referring to point 7. You are spot on, don’t take me wrong. But what you need to understand is that what you see in Europe re this point is a reflection of how dense cities are. People here are just must cramped in less space and that bluntness is just a mechanism, an effective one indeed, to mark boundaries in interactions. Which are common because there is simply more density of people. You come from a place where space is abundant, very abundant in fact, and actually a dream come true, a sign that you made it, is to own thousands of acres in the middle of nowhere with everything you need, possibly even a cinema, so you don’t have to see any other human ever again if you so wish. So imagine if and when you see someone you are blunt and direct in your interactions. I wouldn’t recommend it tbh, specially in an already polarised society. Be careful what you wish for
Because ultimately you are the person that looks at your makeup the most. And deep inside, you put make up on (or fancy clothes, or whatever) for yourself. The others are just relevant as how they impact on your self-perception
You should treat everyone well, even if you don't like them, it's in the Christian culture... and besides, in the USA there is easy access to weapons. And pretty girls don't need makeup.
You're both growing up and soaking up parts of Europe. Go live with the Germans, some things you talk about are sort-of EU-generic, but there are also things that will be different! Try the UK, France, Italy but enjoy life in EU-style Danielle. I like your video's and life-reports!
@@CarlosPerez-zf1uy in Germany people stare if they want to intimidate you or when they are judging the shit out of you, while in Spain they do it for no reason :)
Para esta gente "café culture" es sentarse a tomar un café en una cafetería. Tremendo. Novedad mundial. Cuando descubran la "wine culture" o la "sparkling water culture" lo van a flipar.
Cuando entre al mercado laboral, con currelas de toda la vida que despues del curro salimos a tomar un par de birras va a flipar de verdad. Y que los colegas te llamen 15 minutos antes a ver si te vienes de cena...pues le explotara el cerebro.
There are definitely some common traits among europeans, being blunt/direct is one of them, people from the US, Latin Amrica or even Asia are not like that.

about makeup...UK is diferent.

It's true, I've noticed it; in the UK even very young girls are overly made up.
Lol
Completely agree! I was thinking "she hasn't been to the UK"
The huge fake eyelashes 😬
Ese mic de Star Wars XD

I'm not sure! I went to David Lloyd's
Puedes ir a un bar! No hay nada de eso, pero después de tres copas, no te importará. Por supuesto, sólo es una broma. Feliz Año
It happened to me also... after moving to Spain!
In Europe You are a human person, not a number.
Nice video!

Why did you decide to move to Spain?
In Spain ve are very sociable and we talk a lot, I know 😂😭 people ask u about everything
It sounds weird to put such efford in makeup when you live in a culture where people does not stare each other, don't you think?
Because ultimately you are the person that looks at your makeup the most. And deep inside, you put make up on (or fancy clothes, or whatever) for yourself. The others are just relevant as how they impact on your self-perception
@5:34 who’s that? 😄
España es la ostia :)
Make up in britain is out of control aswell
So you actually fainted?
Europe is not an ethnostate. Staring is not a habit in the Netherlands either. Its considered rude.
The Netherlands are a culturally irrelevant micro-country.
You should treat everyone well, even if you don't like them, it's in the Christian culture... and besides, in the USA there is easy access to weapons. And pretty girls don't need makeup.
oh, the country of "europe"....

staring is not a European culture, I experienced it only in Spain and sometimes in rural France
The german stare is a league of its own.
wait until you go to Germany, is even worse, and i am a Spaniard, im used to stare and to be stared, but Germans beat us in that hahahaha
Indeed, same thats its not considered normal in the Netherlands either. People will get very angry if you would. Its considered intimidating
factsssssss
@@CarlosPerez-zf1uy in Germany people stare if they want to intimidate you or when they are judging the shit out of you, while in Spain they do it for no reason :)
Going out until 7 o'clock???
Really? What's about a good breakfast? Cañas and bravas usually help having a good sleep.
Why MUST usans always say things like Madrid, Spain - Seville, Spain? You just told us that you are in Spain!!!
Greetings from RUclips, Internet.

European habits? more like basic human habits
05:56 girl described being normal as minimalistic
capitalism is worse than a brain tumor
Yes my Spanish blood in my country where I'm rich at from cali 🇺🇸.
I recommend you adopt the habit of seriously trying to learn Spanish.
You must have a lot of good friends
En Valencia vivirias mejor que en Madrid.
😂😂
Y es algo más barato, la verdad.
Anywhere in Spain is better than Madrid or Barcelona.
You adopted Spanish habits, not European habits. There is nothing called European habits. Each country in Europe has different habits.
There are definitely some common traits among europeans, being blunt/direct is one of them, people from the US, Latin Amrica or even Asia are not like that.
yes, there are common European habits. And you are not going to make us believe otherwise.
Does everyone stare the way I do
I only stare this way at you 😍
Lo del cafe por la generación Z..... en España se llevaba haciendo toda la vida
