![LEON IS MY GIGACHAD SAVIOR [RE9 2/3]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/3yIQEMBuPuo/mqdefault.jpg)
School shootings scare europeans, americans are afraid of walking.
Ahahahaahahah! This is cruel, but very hilarious!
Lol!😅
Glad to be an European.
@hiluxcolt Same, honestly.
Neither scare lol
Saying you feel unsafe because of bicycles when you’re from a country where guns are legal and school shootings exist is insane
I remember americans watching a video about schools in germany and they were absolutely flabbergasted that our schools don't have bullet proof walls in case somebody is trying to shoot it up. Imagine that 😂
And every second dude is driving a giant truck, has anger issues and an assault rifle in the back. I prefer some bikes lol
You should visit Amsterdam , and try cycling during rush hour 😂
Like Furious said " There's a gun store and liquor store on every corner ! "🤙
WEEKLY school shootings at that.
_"I could not find a coffee in Europe"_ is a complaint comparable to "I could not find a fast food restaurant in the States."
Not looking in the right stores. Coffee is global.
So true! In Germany every bakery for example sells coffee to go and you know how many bakeries we have we love our Bread and baked goods. I've been to so many European countries now, I have lost count and I got coffee everywhere. This is just rage bait to provoke engagement I'm sure.
Thats cos we drink coffee not american muddy puddle water 😂
He was probably trying to order like Nikes Crane with "just enough foam to be aesthetically pleasing but not so much that it leaves a moustache". 😂
@Tina_Tanzt this might be the issue, actually. Americans outside of NYC do not understand about real bread. Ergo, they do not have little street bakeries to frequent, so they wont think of going to a bakery for coffee.
The "can't find coffee" dude was so lucky to get the reaction from a german instead from an italian.
I live in a small German town, and there are at least two nice coffee shops in my vicinity and about a dozen in a city center that I know of.
😂😭
@user-eqwdreal, even the American ones like Starbucks
😂😂😂
@anonym5380 Starbucks can be found in bigger towns, but I do not think they are that popular....
I'm sitting here in one of 30 coffee shops in my town drinking a coffee wondering why I can't find coffee anywhere
Drip Coffee is indeed hard to find, there mostly is coffee freshly grounded from beans for every cup. And that stuff is cheaply available everywhere. At least here in germany.
Are you in Amsterdam? Na coffee in coffeeshops there😂
😂
over here in britain, they even sell coffee in tearooms... there isn't a single cafe that i know of that doesn't sell coffee
You have to go to a gas station and ask there. Guys from the mid-west only know gas stations and can buy everything there.
2:07 fun fact. It's called Americano because when the Americans came to Europe our coffee was too strong for them so we had to water it down for them
If I remember correctly it was invented by Italian locals for US troops during WW2.
@WulfyrAnd Americans still believe it’s named in their honor instead of indicating “beware, you are ordering diluted baby coffee.”
@V@Virtualbluearteh, typical Americans. Doesnt surprise me in the slightest.
Don't say "fun fact". Just say "fact" or just state the fact.
@S@Saranda4787 Put that statement on your dating app profile, I’ll ping you in a year to see how it’s going. “Fun fact” the British and Americans occasionally subtly differ in their usage of single and double quotes for recording the spoken word ie ‘fun fact’. That was prolly your point and I now look really dim 8-)
in france when you have to weigh the vegetables the machine has pictures so you don't need to know how to write the names 😂
True! Usually a picture, the name and a number (which is handy for different varieties of apples that look similar). Just a pity the pictures aren’t always right. I nearly always see the turnip and rutabaga pictures inverted…
The same thing happens in Spain; the weighing machines have pictures of fruits and vegetables on the keys, even with the names underneath.
I find it strange that they put the labels directly on the product; here in Spain, the product is put in the bag and then the label is attached. Also, you have to wear disposable gloves to avoid touching the product directly with your hands.
It's the same in Germany. Buttons or a display with pictures. Maybe she should go to a store where the cash register weighs fruit and vegetables. Then she won't have to think about the names of vegetables. ;-)
That was Tesco's, and it also has pictures. It doesn't teach Americans how to pronounce 'courgette' though.
We also have that in Denmark - it helps tourists from the USA 😂😂😂😂😂
Gotta love the "How am I supposed to walk here?" with a ton of people walking in the shot. Just do what they do, bro.
Why don't Europeans just walk in India ? Why you behave like the gay here from US ? DON'T EUROPEANS do the same in India. 😂
😂😂😂😂❤
@AnjaliD-nb7cru good?
@lisa_vxngget some humor man
Clean drinking water comes out of every household tap.
In Jackson, Mississippi, water from the tap is not drinkable. When there actually is tap water, you have to make sure you close your mouth when you shower. And you brush your teeth with bottled water.
Some areas in Belgium (Brussels amongst others, where I live) get water from the Condroz and is naturally filtered through moss. Very drinkable because of al the good things that are in the water. It’s actually healthier than bottled water.
@leaedt7614 Like in a third world country? Maybe you could gofundme a decent water supply. I'll spend ten bucks from the Netherlands.
@leaedt7614 Move to a first World country with clean water supply
In the USA, the permitted chlorine content in tap water is higher than in German swimming pools.
I don't take coffee critic from people who water down coffee with 90% of ice
Well, iced coffee has its merits. Mind me, I'm Italian, I travelled all over the world always with my moka in the bag. But I live in Thailand which is very hot, an iced coffee now and then it's a dirty pleasure.
@alexwtf80yes, I love iced coffee in the summer. Portuguese by the way, so I am a coffee snob
Ice-coffee, Viennese Melange (watered espresso), etc, are part of a very old and legit coffee culture. It's just depends on how u make it - if it's with drip coffee, it's shit :)
or critique 🙂
og he just never had cofee before and thought his "Lait au Café" was real coffee.
But to be honest this is just a bit more than a review , this are the talking points of many Americans that belief the anti European propaganda to keep believing that the USA is the greatest nation in the world , Land of the free etc .
So obvious from his claim to has visited 20 days , (what is nothing) just to impress american idiots
to cofee , traffic (if you can take an uber than you can also drive there) to phone service.
I want to bet with you that he has a maga hat in his suite case :d:d
The person complaining about the bikes doesn't seem to understand that all those cyclists are people who also don't want to be in an accident.
Exactly. Just don't do anything weird or unpredictable and you're going to be perfectly fine. Plus, even if you do run into one, they're going slowly so you're only going to get a few bruises at worst.
As an Italian I find that's higly debatable.
@M.M.83-Uhow so
Also, imagine how much more traffic there would be if everyone walking and cycling took a car instead.
You sure about that? Cyclists where I live dont give a fuck and think they have the right to do anything they want to do
Calling a croissant "bread" is criminal
only to the French
@_Chris_FordThis time i am with the French.
A German.
Guillotine
@_Chris_FordThe one time i will agree with the french then.
-An Austrian
@_Chris_Ford italian here, we agree with french too. Croissant or cornetto in italian, impossible to call it bread that is bread, just flour and water, sometimes cereals and quiete always salt, fullstop, maybe you think it's ok to call it bread 'cause your bread is full of strange things so everything could be bread to you
8:30 - u can buy gun in walmart but bicycles are the dengerous thing...
Bicycles are communism, probably.
I mean they had to ban kinder eggs because they can’t be trusted no to eat the toy. That pretty much says everything about them.
@Timsmith13911Here's an AR-15 to protect your child from dangerous toy eggs.
Plus for some daft reason, Kinder egg's
@sirius4kCommunism didn't exist when bicycles were invented.
Bro being deadly scared of getting hit by a FOLDING BICYCLE is fukken hilarious. Y'all built Cars that are basically designed to be Deathtraps. Lmao
Ik lol, really ironic although this is the mindset so many of us Americans are brainwashed with. Thankfully I was one of the lucky ones that escaped
"Lmao" said the NPC profile picture guy who never achieved anything in his life
And no, I'm not american
@Charlie-jl2jd who pissed in your morning Coffee?
@donnikthejedi2222good one fellow memes
Love this German dude roasting that American. He's funny
Now you have American coffee after all the roasting.
@brazilianrainbowboano thanks. I'll stick to Colombian coffee. It's better..😂😂
Fun fact. He lives in the UK and his accent is generally British. He is actually part German, so the character he portrays on his page is legitimate and he is hell funny.
@NanaBeccy
Yes, he's doing a parody.
The accent is "fake".
@NanaBeccyDo you know his account?
" There's no coffee "
Italy and France, the countries of coffee : I beg your pardon ?
Austria and Hungary and Germany also have big coffee culture. Like "Kaffeetrinken" is almost like an extra meal of the day here between lunch and dinner 😅
@serpentinasnapeKaffee und Kuchen Sonntags
@serpentinasnape Austria more or less invented the Kaffeehaus. Saying you can't find coffee in Europe is just insane...
That's a foldable bike; you can easily take it with you in a train, the tram and save space.
Specifically a Brompton
@BikeFlips I have one of those ^^
Imagine thinking it's "strange and weird" to use sun and wind, literal FREE ENERGY, to dry your clothes after washing them. WTF
LOL, I know right? Sadly there are some folks in the World who think using solar power & wind energy is some kind of libtard tree hugging conspiracy. Whereas it is simply a proven, traditional technique that has been stress tested for the last THREE THOUSAND years to use a combo of solar & wind to dry your clothes. I do have a clothes dryer - I use it on those rare occasions when the weather outside is frightful... As for phone SIMS, whenever I travel to the US, one of the first things I do so I don't pay crazy roaming costs is get a cheap local sim. Stick in my spare (previous) phone, job done - cheap calls to my US buddies while I am in-country.
I agree. I do it in summer and spring sometimes, usually sheets and towels, the fresh laundry always smells better when it air dries.
@WithTwoFlakesstrangely enough I had an American Physical Geography handbook when studying at Uni 50 years ago and there was a plate of a house in it that was optimised to profit as much from the sunlight in the winter and keeping as cool as possible in the summer. At the south side it had a canopy that let the direct sunlight in in the wintertime and kept it out in the summer. By the way it wasn't build out of cardboard.
I am in Canada . I dry all my cloths outside on A line in summer right into fall.
Unfortunately for me it's been raining the last two months. This is why my tumble dryer is essential.
I would have no clothes right now if not for my dryer.
But line dry clothes do smell so much better. Sigh.
08:46 "Oh no, I feel so unsafe, I'd rather go back to American school and hide under the desk because it's so safe there and the shots calm me down"
surely everyone driving around in absurdly oversized SUVs instead would make me feel so much safer!
you don't hide man! according to last guidelines pupils should throw whatever they have against attacker. not passively waiting for slaughter but provoke him to start with you is now recommended...
😂😂😂😂😂
ROASTED
@non9886 Pupils? Did you read what you wrote?
Omw a towel warmer😂😂 funniest thing ever, it's a towel rack and it's actually used to dry your towels and not made to warm them, that's just an added benefit
Actually, towel warmers do exist that look like racks. Some are standalone electric units, and others are connected to the bathroom heating system. Never seen them in the U.S. though, and I've been here for 11 years.
We don't brag about our cities being walkable - they just are, it's normal, no big deal. The only people who bang on about walkable cities are Americans, presumably because it is a shock to their system.
nah I brag all the time even if only to remind myself and everyone not to take it for granted
Walkable towns with local shops are seen as "15 minute cities" and are seen as. '' big ' gubment control"
It’s the same here in Australia. I live 50 km from the centre of Sydney, right on the outskirts of Sydney suburbs, and I still have a convenience store, a service station, and a shopping centre which contains a grocery store, butcher, hairdressers, doctor, chemist, pizza store, takeaway fish and chips,etc, no more than an 8 minute walk away. It’s just normal here. No one brags about it
@donald195even some in the UK think that way. Some People in the very small city I live in are against the concept even though it in many cases already is a 15 minute city ! The shops, the station and doctor and dentist etc are less than a mile away.
@donald195Well the government must have had excellent long term planning given that most of these cities have been around since Roman times.
4:00 thats literally the opposite. In europe you can often just go out and walk around without a plan. In the US you have to use a car
I wouldn't advise to roam around in the US, even in a car, you easily end up in a no go zone, aka slum. That really shocked me the first time I was in the US, a long time ago 😮
It kinda depends on where you are, in big cities and small towns you’re fine to walk and roam but you need a car or bus to travel between the two depending on what state you’re in. For example New York is typically much easier to travel around without a car than say Pennsylvania because the states are completely different.
In Europe in just 45 minutes you can cover a lot of by just walking n it's also good for our health!
Plenty of major US cities are walkable with decent public transportation; NYC, Chicago, Boston, San Francisco, from personal experience were all enjoyable to explore (although mentally ill homeless people everywhere was distressing) , walking was pleasurable and getting about was relatively easy. It’s the vast sprawling suburbs that are a horror show, miles from public services, no High Street, no community atmosphere and often zero public transportation options and if you’re seen walking around you will be viewed with great suspicion.
American: My electricity bill is $600 per month.
Also an American: Why don't Europeans have AC or clothes dryers?
European: My electricity bill is €50 per month.😁
I have AC and drier feature in my washing machine and my electricity bill is €20 per month.
Living in the Nordic, my bill was 150 in the summer. With AC. Electricity is quite cheap here in the summer, the whole grid is built for winter needs so there is a lot of extra capacity.
I have a dryer and my bill in Poland is also 50 euro
When I lived in the US I payed 0 because of solar panels
?? i'm european (belgium) i have both ac and dryer use them always and still only pay 100€ a month since everybody here has solar panels
The walking lesson. 🤣😂🤣
1. Sun is free
2. Dryer destroys the fabric if you use it constantly.
And there's nothing like getting into bed with sheets dried outside.
3. Many European apartments are smaller and it's hard to fit another appliance... I think most Americans don't realize we don't have separate "laundry rooms"
@juliakrakowiak6001indeed
Sun dried smells so much better. My neighbours don't start bonfires/bbqs until washing is brought in: it's simply good manners.
Have you ever left black and colour clothes in the sun? I did for three days and its brutal to the fabric
Also melitta filters a.k.a coffee filters was invented in Dresden by Melitta Bentz in 1908.
Dresden is in Germany. (for the well educated Muricans)
Here in Brasil Melitta is a brand of coffe (yeah) and the filter is also called melitta filter
@cronistamundano8189Here in Germany as well.
burning garbage is illegal in most European countries. It is dangerous, it pollutes air, and may affect your health negatively (burning plastic for example). Guys, I am talking about private citizens here, not about industrialized method of burning rubbish.
Low-income households still do it because getting rid of it the right way can be expensive to some and always requires a car to get your trash somewhere. This is not a justification, I don't like it myself, but that's just how it is.
We have ultra high temperature incinerators here in CZE.
@sirius4k Yeah, I do it myself
@sirius4k In our country, (Scotland), we have separate bins for metals, plastics, papers, garden waste and food waste. Recyclables go to be recycled and other items which can't be are professionally destroyed. The bins are collected from each house on specific days, by area. Clean, efficient and trouble free, with no extra charge.
@sirius4k.
i like to think these ppl complaining abt europe are humans from the pre-historic era discovering fire
Drip coffee = filter coffee.
Or Perculator coffee if you feel fancy.
Yes, but filtered coffee is not equal to drip coffee.
Most types of coffee, including espresso, are filtered (either a mesh or paper filter-this only affects the size of the particles the filter allows through). Unfiltered, probably only Turkish coffee, which is served with sediment
And what's filter coffee?😅
Only drips have filter coffee
@vHindenburg thats a completely different method of brewing coffee :)
ALL EU-countries have free roaming by legislation and several European non-EU countries do this also voluntarily. Also the coffee talk is complete shite. Finland has the world record of drank coffee amount per capita per annum.
You sure it's not south italy? 😂 (I'm joking btw)
I hope he understands that just mean no EXTRA charges on your phone calls / messages while traveling around Europe. It dosnt mean it's just free communication
My NL phone contract even includes roaming in non EU countries, like UK, Switzerland, Norway.
Finland! 🇫🇮 Who would have known. Impressive! How come? Do people drink lots of tea as well? Over here it’s both I guess. Greetings from Germany
Before the EU laws, mobile/internet was more expensive anyway (competition got regulated). But using mobile phone or internet while traveling could turn scary expensive. Like 100s of €£$ … may still be that way for foreigners (get local sim).
So I'm French and I have a theory about the blonde woman who was instantly clocked as an American: I think she was in France because what we see her dipping in her hot chocolate is a croissant. And you know, since croissants have such a high reputation in our country (even if we don't actually eat them often) she HAD to film herself eating it. So I think it was pretty obvious for the person asking because no one film themselves eating a croissant. Although some do dip them in hot chocolate or coffee!
Yeah, a croissant or pain au chocolat dipped in hot chocolate is peak Sunday breakfast.
@n0rmal953 i'm 40yo and when i'm at my parents house for the week-end, my mom throw some frozen croissants and pains au chocolat in the oven for the breakfast ! It's the same ritual since decades
Of course we eat croissants in France - often. Otherwise they wouldn't be stacked up in every boulangerie.
@n0rmal953 TBF in france we pretty tried to dip pretty much anything in coffee or hot chocolate. I'm one of the french people that dip cheese and bread in coffee
@brianbarcroft9167 we over here in Germany loves them as well!!!!! Delicious shit!
In Italy we eat pizza with knife and fork, we are not barbarians
I was in Tenerife earlier this year and watched as a group of American tourists tried to pay the bus fare from the beach to the town with thier phones. They hadn't bothered to buy a new SIM or get a roaming plan, but thought that the bank was on thier phone and would just work wherever they were in the world. It took about 20 minutes to explain how things worked.
If only USA had Google to check these things before they travel
😂😂😂😂😂😂
@redboyjan if only.
@redboyjan But that would be .... *gasp* ... PLANNING!
@elmerdeleeuw1569and more importantly this would be....INCONVINIENT!
The whole "pay toilet" thing is way overblown on social media.
Yes, toilets in train stations are pay toilets. Sometimes even in bus stations, too. And the free-standing public bathrooms are also pay bathrooms.
But seriously, unless you are in a super touristy area, you can just walk into a cafe, bakery, or pastry shop and ask to use their toilet. Depending on how long you need to use it, it might be socially polite to buy a cup of coffee afterwards.
You buy the Coffee first, then you use the Bathroom..
Opposite in London - main rail stations toilets are free, also in shopping centres; cafes etc will usually be paying customers only
Hence the term spend a penny.....
In most places they won't ask you to buy smth first, also I don't even think it's legal. When I went to Rome I never had any issues finding a bathroom
Sometimes, you can scan your receipt or bus/train ticket and get in without paying. Basically, you only pay if you're not a customer.
Free Roaming means, i can go with my german sim card in every other euopean country and use it as i would be in germany. I do not pay anything extra
7:09 it is a foldable bike. So you can fold it in the middle and take it wherever you want.
sorry, not in every europeen country. In every country of the EU. Try this in Switzerland, you get tears in your eyes ;) . @jt: you can use your us plan, but it could be realy expansive. Load an app and use a virtual sim.
Including on the bus if you need at again when you get to your destination.
It is a Brompton
@imajinallthepurple You can even fit them in the boot of a small car. Rather than having them on a rack, on the roof or the back of the car. So you don't spend as much on fuel (bike racks create extra drag), and there's no risk of it falling off, and causing an accident. Not that the bike carriers fail often. But it does, happen sometimes.
Andorra and some other little EU countries do not have free Roaming, so it is better check wich countries your Roaming works. It is very easy to check.
Trust me, a European asking “are you American?” really is meant to be kind of insulting. But we as Americans need to reflect on WHY they mean that to be insulting. We’ve earned it.
The bicycle you mentioned is a commuter style bike it folds up into a suitcase sized package . I believe first invented in the UK many many years ago so you could cycle to the train station then carry it on the train so you could then cycle to work from the train station .
And in the Netherlands you can take them on the commuter train. You cannot take a regular bike.
@tomm5936 you can, but there is an extra fee. Also you can only do so on certain parts of the train, which are designed for regular bikes, outside of peak traffic hours
Even in East Germany, there were bicycles that could be folded. I had one from MIFA when I was a child in the 70s.
According to Google, it is actually a British invention.😊
There was also a foldable bike in Hungary made pre 1990 called the Camping (with a K) bike, it was made I think by Csepel factory.
RAILWAY STATION
I wonder: Is there any european country without an addiction to coffee?
I guess UK drinks the least amount, but Black Tea is pretty much the same.
Not even close to beign same but sure
@vonborgahsince its about the caffeine, they are.
@valreth5648 its not, what 😅
France : "I pass"
Not feeling safe when there's people biking and walking is perhaps the most American thing ever. The USA has one of the highest road deaths in the Western world, the Netherlands (which that tiktok is filmed in) has one of the lowest and considered one of the safest places in the world to be on the road. Yet they are scared of bikes and would rather run someone over in their car.
Amsterdam has a high amount of road accidents and biker deaths. I was there three days and witnessed three accidents.
Feeling unsafe would definitely be an overstatement, but the calm and nice utopia media wants us to believe in the last recent years "bike cities" are… no, not my conclusion
Real food portions may look small to Americans because they are used to Frankenfoods that have no substance. Real food is twice as dense and contains fibre and long-chain carbs that fill you up. Us food appears to be foamed starch loaded with some form of sugar. If you had a French baguette with ham the size of a US Subway sandwich, you would never be able to finish it without being so full it hurt
drying clothes outside makes them smell and feel a lot better
American filter coffee taste like water, for a Scandinavian or Nordic we want our filtered coffee strong AF!
French here, cant say I speak for my whole nation but yeah strong af too ^^
Bitter dishwater in a cup. I never took a free refill anywhere in the 2 weeks I was there.
Yes, that's right! Coffee needs to taste like coffee, not watered-out dishwater with sugar! American coffee (especially McDonald's) has nothing to do with real coffee!😁
German here. Coffee can vary depending on the time of day and my mood.
In the morning, black coffee straight from the beans. Strong, a full cup.
At lunchtime, a cappuccino is a nice option.
In the afternoon/early evening, a latte macchiato with a speculaas.
(My dad has preferred Turkish coffee after work for the past 20 years.)
I'm a Southerner (Portugal) and also love strong filtered coffee! I drink it at home, in the morning, and espresso in cafés during the day.
Courgette is from French, Zucchine from Italian. I'm guessing it entered American culture through Italian immigrants, while in the UK has had more interactions with the French compared to Italians due to geography.
Interesting!
Norman conquest of 1066. No wonder you didn’t know about it. Americans don’t have history in anything like the same way.😂
Esatto.
In Germany we say zucchini as well, though I know many who can't pronounce it 😂
Also it is not pronounced "cor get"
15:47 well outside doesn't smell "eww" in europe so its ususally better than a dryer
Yes, it is very common to use a knife and fork to eat pizza in Italy, especially when eating in a restaurant.
However, how you eat your pizza depends on the situation:
In a restaurant: When you are served a whole pizza (a pizza tonda), it is the norm to cut it out and eat it with a knife and fork. It is often considered more polite and practical, as a true Italian pizza is often thin and very hot in the middle, making it difficult to hold in the hand.
"Street food": If you buy pizza on the street as slices (called pizza al taglio or pizza al trancio), it is always eaten with the fingers, often on the go.
Informal: Some Italians choose to cut the pizza into pieces first and then eat the individual slices with their fingers, but you typically start with the cutlery to get rid of the hot middle.
An important note about Italian food customs is that while pizza may be cut, you should never cut your pasta with a knife.
Why do you need bigger portions.
Of course you can get coffee
In Europe. We drink alot of coffee and there different kind of coffee 😮
YES !! A real Italian pizza is made traditionally with super thin crust !! It is the BEST !!
One of my cousins lived in Italy for a while and when we had pizza al taglio she taught me roll the slice before eating it. It was delicious eating it like that.
Cor Get 😂😂😂😂
Courgette... the gette pronounced as in j'adore
@arianeterp Even with delivery pizza I ask for the thin crust - unfortunately, not really thin, but at least better than the other one. If I want to eat bread, I will, and won't be paying for pizza.
When I visited Italy, my metric to select a restaurant. Look in the menu for pineapple pizza. If they do NOT have them, get seated. I had the best real Italian pizzas I could wish for.
Using your data plan in a different country can be ludicrously expensive, but within Europe the other European operators aren’t allowed to overcharge you for that. Basically the politicians said “you’re an oligopoly of a handful companies with networks everywhere in Europe, stop pretending you actually incur any costs when letting your customers roam across borders” and they calmed down with the craziness.
Thank you for confirming that not everyone in the US only dries clothes in a dryer. I had assumed that "sun is free" was a universal consideration.
U can even dry cloths outside during very cold winter. Takes some days.
I actually hate the washing horse, and I have now stacked a dryer on a washing machine. And I have so much more room in my flat
@janhansen554takes some days? When it's a really cold winter? It takes a few hours and everything is dry because it's so cold 😅
Ideally you should try to avoid drying your clothes in direct sunlight because it damages the clothes and can make them shrink. For best results dry your clothes in the shade in a light breeze.
@janhansen554 Or a sharp frost.
We dont understand why americans tumble dry even if its hot outside
The funniest one was when some Americans called down to the main desk at a hotel and asked where to get the water from. I laughed and said the tap !! 😂😂
10:00 Cour what? France is having a stroke right now, while Italy is laughing at the pronunciation of zucchini. 🤣
So true 😂
😂😂 absolutely true 😂😂
Corgi
zoukini
And don’t tell them if they go to cashier manned checkouts they will weigh and scan all their items including the Corr Gett they want to buy. Too much fun watching them ‘struggle’
7:32 loved the caveman walk 😂
7:30 "and ya gawt these thangs... LEHHGS" made me cry
I am a European, I know personally Portugal, Spain, France and parts of Germany, I was drunk in Italy but I guess that does not count, and one question bothers me, what is this American obsession with bathrooms? We have free bathrooms, paid bathrooms, public bathrooms, private bathrooms, bathrooms in public buildings, bathrooms in business buildings like cafes and restaurants, there are bathrooms every where, and you can get a fine for doing the deed in a public space like a street or back-alley, but we don´t send in cops guns blazing in pursuit of some drunk idiot that has just peed in the back of a building.
Stop it, just stop it, our bathrooms are better, and the paid ones are the nicer ones, and some countries, like mine, are progressing to unisex bathrooms, so every gender, aliens, disguised reptilians, vampires, and assorted mythical creatures can use a bathroom stall without dramas...
Why do they call them bathrooms? It’s a toilet ffs
@giovanni6636 because its also a sink and a room not just a toilet in the corner
@TheMuffinMan-r7g yeah but you don’t have a bath in there. Washroom, WC, toilette, Servicios.
We also have bathrooms for wheel chair drivers.
@giovanni6636 I don´t care about the denomination or the different names people call them in English speaking countries, I follow the standard English used in international English or diplomatic English, bathroom or WC, toilet is used for the toilet bowl. American self entitlement is an odd thing, more Indians speak English than the entire North American continent and I am Portuguese half German and could care less about American opinions without any validity or pander to them.
American coffee is disgusting to anyone who isn't American.
Comparable to dirty dishwater
Weak and can end up burnt in cafe
I make one exception: Café Bustelo, which is sort of Cuban, it does come from the US.
Like Hershey's "chocolate" too 😂
@AstoriaHestia I'll have Cadbury's, Fry's, Suchard, Lindt rather!!!
The way they pronounce Courgette 😂😂😂😂😂
Because the British English language is heavily influenced by French. Courgette originally is a French word incorporated into British English.
Zucchini is of Italian origin and is incorporated into American English.
@Anmeteor9663i know but their pronunciation of courgette was so wrong. I live in the UK they will get side eyes 👀😂
how is it supposed to be pronounced?
Right?? Not a single one of them got it even remotely right 😂
@Lu.1u.lu.1u.lu.1unot like that 😂 Google the pronunciation, ironically both US UK sound the same how the F they still got it so wrong 😂😂😂
Why don't they cut the Pizza for you? Because you're not frickin three years old anymore! And you may wanna decide the size of the slice yourself!
Omggg the way they say crougette 😅
Omggg the way you spell courgette 😅
15:10 outdated?? and the USA still uses cheques to pay rent and you don’t call that outdated.
Here in Netherlands we haven’t seen cheques since the 80’s because its old and outdated.
The only time you see a cheque here is pure symbolical for lottery’s.
Yeah. From what I can gather they still get a "pay check" instead of a direct payment to their bank. Is this still the norm.?
Agree. The same here, in Spain. I haven't used a cheque in at least 30 years or more...
@Ouseabour Same in Scotland!
@EllenElwood yup and of course weekly or bi-weekly because they are so rich they can't wait for the end of the month 😁
haven't used a cheque in ages in the UK (England), only get from company's sent you a refund
We Finns drink filter coffee by the bucket just to survive mentally.
Netherlands here, i use beans in the automatic espresso / coffee machine and ye, i NEED my fresh brew 😂.
Also work in ICT. we run on caffeine 😂
@CyberBeep_kenshi Fellow Dutch IT here, yes we absolutely do.
@sjcommander91hey man :)
Ye we Only panic if the coffee machine is broken 😂
Nothing to do with my mentality. Its just good, I guess its something that keep you awake to some people but eh niche thing that too.
Finns don't drink kavia. It's something stronger. I believe Thor's hammer is made of it.
They learn counting to 15 by making kavia
These plastic bottles are returnable. For example, in Poland, they've been returnable since last year. The caps have been permanently attached to the bottles for about two or three years. Starting next year, we'll have to tear off the caps to return the bottles. Europe also has politicians with stupid ideas...
Returnable bottles in Germany since over 20 years. Less waste on the streets. Don't understand the sense of cutting of the caps.
In Finland, we don’t have any coffee either. Funny how we still drink the most coffee per capita in the world. Weird, huh?😂
You Finns? Really?
In Canada, I’ve heard that we have more coffee shops per capita. Maybe we’ve errored?
I used to feel sorry for you guys being neighbours to Russia. I would appreciate the same now that we neighbour the U.S.
@MikeBurgandy thats true. It sucks if you have bad and/or stupid neighbours. So I feel sorry for you.😢
2:33 The coffee filter was invented by a German Hausfrau named Melitta. It must be the coffee itself he disses, not the brewing method.
Nah, I guess it's because in most countries shops and cafes don't sell drip coffee anymore. Even at home, in most European countries, people now use either capsule coffee machines or espresso machines. I don't know about the Nordics, but in Mediterranean countries, in Austria, in Germany, drip / filter coffee is mostly a thing of the past. You even see that when you go to a shop selling kitchen appliances. 15 years ago, they used to have dozens of different models of drip coffee machines and maybe 3 models of capsule and espresso machines for home use, now it's the other way around.
@TheFeldhamsternoooooot true. As a german I can tell you: we sure do have a variety of different filter/drip coffee brands in our convenience stores.
@lenaseggert4459 Yes, but where can you still get drip coffee in a coffee shop or in a restaurant? Hardly anywhere.
And most of the Americans complaining are in Italy anyways, where they never had drip coffee. They hate it. If they offer something like drip coffee for tourists in hotels, it's called Americano and it's horrible (I think they make it horrible on purpose)
@highks496every bakery that sells coffee has normal filter coffee here in germany, just saying..
@serenetiv
No, not every bakery.
16:48 Americans seem to confuse quantity and quality. I prefer a small (that thing was not small, though) but very good sandwich over that simulacrum of food they sell at Subway
And it has the size of 3 German Brötchen.
In Namibia, when you put the veggies or fruit on the scale at some of our stores, the scale will recognize what the fruit or veg is. We don't have to type it in. Just confirm and print the sticker. The shops whose scales don't recognize it automatically, there is a produce person that does it for you. And we're a "3rd world" country.
U.S.A. is the owner of the world, don't ya know ?? Try living next door. 🇨🇦
@harlcc261 "Owner of the world"
Ridiculous American lmao
Mate, your dumbass country interferes in EVERY MAJOR FOREIGN CONFLICT
I bet you think Africa is a country
Loved the German guy having a go at the American, I could listen to him for hours. Does he have a RUclips channel?
I believe it might be Mathias Swann
@larizzo yes, that's him. Just found his channel.
@medic1627he's hilarious. And people say Germans have no humour. Also look up Henning Wehn.
@larizzo can't find him under this name on youtube? Doese he have a different channel name?
A lot of Roman aqueducts and pipes are still in use all over Europe.
I just don't believe that's true
@ic5889what do you mean you don't believe it? They are ancient but they were made with such attention that they still work to this day.
Of course the aqueducts have been modernized in many parts but that hold up and are safe
@emanuelebiaggi3714 i know of 1 roman aquaduct still in use, in Rome. There might be a few more but it seems highly unlikely to me that "a lot" of them survived 2000 years let alone are still in use.
Not to even mention pipes, not only were a lof of roman pipes made from lead, it seems _extremely_ unlikely to me that the vast vast majority of roman structures did not survive but somehow the pipes did? In a way where we could still use them today?
If you've got any sources saying otherwise please inform me, it would be cool if this was true, but I find it hard to imagine and a quick Google search didnt turn up anything
False like God. Romans used lead in their tubes, have a little patience in understanding that they were not understanding that lead kills brain cells slowly.
The point is another, many of roman structures are still standing. And in the set are included acqueducts, until they stand there's no reason why water couldn't flow along them
@ic5889I live near Aqua Sulis (Bath) and it STILL has both a working Roman bath AND the pipes providing the water. In France there's aqueducts that date way back (near the Pyrenees) to Roman times. The only thing that's been changed is the piping.
You should do more walking tutorials, maybe more Americans would start walking.😂😂😂😂
but the real challenge is to walk AND synchronically balance a papercup with coffee in your right hand. Can’ t wait to see your tutorial on this. I had a cup of coffee served in a Maine Burger King. It was so hot I could not hold it in my hand. Should I sue them?
Many Americans do walk but it really depends on where you live. In big cities and small towns it’s easy to walk everywhere however you usually need a car or bus to get between the two depending on the state. But if you got even more rural many then use a car or some use horse to get around as they’re much farther out from towns.
The German guy is really funny, following him on TikTok and he is a blast and the accent makes it complete...
He's a British actor
Fun fact - 3 Starbucks opened in my city 9 months ago - people here tried it to see how it tastes. Now Starbucks shops here are going under and their only clientele is foreigners.
I don't go to Starbucks because it's on my boycott list along with almost every other American company.
Same here with Subway - those things they put the meat and salat between don't qualify as bread - at least not to germans.
@marsakermann9823 Yeah USA bread is seen more like a cake with that amount of sugar and shit in it.
Only situation I ever walk into starbucks is on a hot day for a frappuccino if I also have craving for something sweet. And that rarely happens, would rather drink an espresso and have ice cream on the side.
@marsakermann9823 Its officially classe as confectionary in Ireland due to the 20% sugar content :/
15:22 - It's actually recommended to leave out your sheets in the sun because the UV rays kill off bacteria and residual spores from some kinds of fungi.
The sun is a deadly lazer
yeah, well. Airborne fungal spore concentrations in cities can vary widely, typically ranging from 1,000 to 50,000 spores per cubic meter, depending on the season and environmental conditions. kinda defeats the whole point id say. dont get me wrong, im all for drying your clothes outside when possible, but lets not get too germaphobic, weve got enough companies trying to scare us into buying crap already
@bigchuckstar Wow! I didn't know it can get that bad, sheesh. I've just moved to a city recently and have noticed that the air quality is dramatically worse than in rural towns. Looks like it's time to invest in a dryer!
@justremathings its just natural, theres spores everywhere in the world flying around. thats why we have natural defenses, like filtration systems, a stomach that kills about everything, and a robust imuun system
@justremathings it should be completely fine just air drying on a rack inside
9:00 traffic in India would scare the shit out of him.
I feel like when Americans say they can't get a coffee (or a "good" coffee), what they actually mean is they can't find a Starbucks. Because that's something we generally put on the level of junk food or fast food. Especially in countries with Mediterranean/Latin influence, complaining about not getting a Starbucks is much the same as sulking if the restaurant won't overcook your chateaubriand or give you ketchup with it.
On the other hand, US tourists who want to expand their culinary and gustatory horizons are always welcome.
7:15
That's probably a Brompton foldable city bike.
Wait til he finds out it folds down to the size of a piece of carry on luggage
It could be a Chinese knock off.
There's a lot of copies nowadays.
Possible, however they aren't the only brand sold in the Netherlands.
When Starbucks opened in Paris a BBC reporter was told that Starbucks coffee was "SOCK JUICE"
Starbucks is ok if you want a special like whatever latte, seasonal stuff. I will never go there for just a cup of coffee. That’s just yuck 🤢
I have been to several Starbucks in Paris. It wasn’t just tourists there. Same as McDonald’s.
@stevemcgowenWHY!
@andypattison8037I like to buy a souvenir from Starbucks for gifts. I also like their cold brew- it’s equivalent to about 4-5 expressos in caffeine.
About 15-20 years ago I've noticed either international tourists or other germans, mostly teenagers, from very rural spots visiting Starbucks in german Cities.
13:45 it’s mortadella, that’s a cooked Italian sausage (salume) from Bologna
Nah, that's ham, or prosciutto cotto as they say in Italian. Mortadella has white spots, it's usually cut super thin, and it's nothing I've ever seen on pizza.
@h@highks496 no, it's mortadella. you can see the spots of fat from a mile away and who in their right mind would ever put prosciutto cotto and pesto on a pizza!
the rule of thumb is
mortadella goes with pesto
cotto goes on the capricciosa
crudo goes with on white pizza
13:17 carefull. if you transale it to german, it will become a verry problematic phrase
"Why's my food not cut up for me?" Oh, did you lose your mummy and daddy somewhere?
They pronounced courgette with the ‘g’ as in corgi. Dum dums, the ‘g’ in courgette is pronounced as a ‘j’.
@cornishmaid9138 yep
So funny... "EVIL MAMDANI, did you see the future Mayor of NYC eating his street food with his hands?" and "Why do I have to use fork and knives to eat Pizza in a nice dining restaurant" comes from the same people ^^
😂😂😂😂 they way she pronounces courgette😂😂😂. Its not cor “get” but sounds more like cor “jet”.
'kaw zhet'. A French loanword.
Wait until they try and buy an “eggplant” 😂
It would not surprise me if she knew how to correctly pronounce courgette. I think she might have done it to show how stupid some Americans are.
@backpawzorrofinn1092aubergine lol
@francisneijenhuis143 courgette sounds much better than zucchini i think
You can go to europe with your sim, but your US company will charge you insane rates. It is easier to get a e-sim or a charge sim in europe and you can phone for a lot cheaper.
And yes there is free roaming in EU, for EU sims. You pay the same as if you phone in your country and can even use up free minutes from your plan. This applies to all EU countries and some extra.
You could even buy an add-on for international calls and call people in the US from Europe for cheaper than calling people in the US from the US.
depending on the operator they may provide Europe roaming subscriptions. You hast have to factor in if it would be cheaper for you to use that or to buy a pre-paid eSIM or a local physical SIMcard (in case you live in the stone ages and your cellphone is not e-SIM compatible yet)
I dislike how people from USA have appropriated the name of an entire continent by calling themselves “Americans”
all phone sim in europe are roaming free, this mean you can use your normal phone plan in all european countries without extra charge for being outside of your country.
EU only i think
@christianhaack3613ye i said in all european countries
That's not true, here I can get a sim without roaming and sim with roaming.
I live in Denmark so....
@Ikkeligegladthe roaming is a phone setting, id you go in another EU country you can activate roaming and use your normal plan without extra costs. If you pay extra, congrats you get scammed
@Kalix090 there are some companies that offer cheap "non roaming" plans. You can't just activate roaming on those sims.
8:17 it's the back side (IJzijde) of Amsterdam Central Station. The small bikes have a foldable frame so they can easily be carried with you on trains etc.
Even for A'dam it is an unusual situation with the mixing of bikers and walkers, but you quickly get used to it.
14:55 the sun is free
A tub of Yoghurt has more culture then America.
Tub? Do I hear single serving?
5:06 This summer vacation the wife and I drove from Denmark to: Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Austria and back via Germany; didn't show passports once. - But again, we do have several weeks summer holidays...
All hail Schengen!
A few years back my dad drove my family from Denmark to Greece and back
We drove from Italy to France and it was the same as driving from New York to PA. It was so easy. And we never had a strict schedule in Paris, their public transit system is SO good, we never had to wait more than 2-3 minutes.
9:40 I work in a Tesco like where they are, we have the option to do that on our tills. Those scales are there for peoples convenience especially when using scan as you shop, or wanting a faster checkout service
Literally never knew you could take it to the till. It only takes like 30 seconds MAXIMUM so i dont see why anybody would, theyre making something so big out of nothing.
Omg, your walking-tutorial, well done. 🤣
🤣🤣🤣
I had to stop watching because i laugh too much... lol
Agreed, it was unexpected and Hilarious!
😂😂😂
Now i'm waiting for the bycicle tutotial....
Drip coffee is very 80’s, only see them in charity shops these days in uk
😂 true. Was trying to remember when i last had one with the filter papers. Yep, probably the ‘80s.
12:34 Yes in Rome and some other places the City water supplies come from aqueducts built during the period of the Roman Empire 2000 years ago. Sometimes as built and sometimes with modern pipework and extensions and infills.
And the Water in the alps is strait from a Mountain 2km away
Line drying clothes is FAR superior to tumble drying them
How is that? I remember that the Danish Consumer Council did a study because some people thought that a tumble dryer wore out the clothes more than hanging them to dry on a line, due to all the fluff in the fluff filter. It turned out that there was no difference, but because the tumble dryer catches the fluff in a filter you see it, whereas on the clothesline it disappears in the wind and therefore you don't see it, but the wear should be the same.
@jantimmerby Cheaper, better for the environment and kills bacteria by UV light. And yes, it does smell fresher.
@jantimmerbysmells better/fresher and feels better imo
11:46 bread? BREAD??? THAT'S A CRRRRRRRROISSANT!!!!
It *IS* connected to "city water". The mountains is where the _city water_ comes from.
The bike at 7:20 looks like the foldable bikes you can get. People who commute using public transport use them as they fold up quite small for storage on trains etc.
Water: If someone in an area tells you that their drinking water comes from the mountains, it means that the drinking water comes via the waterworks from the mountains in that area (from mountain springs, dams, or high-altitude reservoirs - mostly even the water used to flush the toilet comes from there. (In flat areas, the water does not come from the mountains, of course, but from groundwater deep wells, for example, and on islands it sometimes comes from seawater desalination etc.)
It is important to know that in the EU, "it is drinking water" means that it is safe and healthy to drink and it comes from the tap. (None drinking water, for example from a decorative fountain is labelled as non drinkable. Such water often comes from uncontrolled or untreated sources (e.g., from surface wells or from rivers) or is intended for technical purposes only.).
Sure, not all drinking water tastes equally good, but it is all safe, healthy and drinkable. This water is sometimes also bottled and sold. the Coca Cola company with its brand ViO does quite well with just tap water. (One cubic meter of water (1,000 litres/ approx. 260 gallons) costs an average of around EUR 2-4 in Europe.
16:04 That's just a rude neighbour. Our neighbour always told us when they were about to do some dusty/smokey works when she saw we had drying clothes outside.
Same, especially in the summer when they were going to barbecue
„Why do you eat pizza with knife and fork?“ BECAUSE EVERYBODY DOES, except for US Americans who eat like being fed from a trough.
Or if you are just at home.
6:52 Tourists in Italy . Italians never ask us for ketchup with a pasta dish in Italy, that's like a serious crime. And we Italians really don't joke around about that. In Italy, we make pasta with love and centuries-old recipes from our ancestors, some of which are over 1400 years old.
I don't think you already made pasta in the year 600, did you?
@paulavitoria1798Devi essere originario del sud Italia, dove il tempo si è fermato.
@paulavitoria1798they did wdym?
@paulavitoria1798ben oui , ça se fait a la main vous savez 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Damn, Vienna coffee is famous. Even in my country Lviv is like a coffee capital of Eastern Europe.
I live in Budapest. You know what, maybe I should walk into Gerbeaud Café in downtown Budapest and tell them that they don't have coffee, lol.
My city, Bucharest, has an amazing coffee culture. Foreign youtubers say it! But you can find coffee shops galore!
Tap water = the best water (im not American )
13:00 no you just need to ask for tap water if you dony specify they will assume you want bottled water
