    Having lived in Italy as a foreigner for 8 years the last joke was funny but very far from my experience. 😂
    I was a student and had to renew my residence permit every year bringing all my papers. The second time they issued a permit for work, not for studying. When I pointed it out to the officers they "played" surprised and said "do you really mind, what the permit is for?" I said I didn't want to do anything illegal. They said "Look, we saw from your papers you're really studying, you're doing good with your exams. Now the working permit is valid 5 years, which means you can finish university without coming here every year. Of course we can take it back and see you here next year and lose time over issuing a stupid paper which you'll obviously get for sure. Don't you want to save your and our time?" I kept the working permit. 😁

    I like this one a lot. It not only brilliantly plays on stereotypes like the other immigration interview videos do, but has so many "ask question with an obvious stereotype answer, then completely turn the other way" references in there. It's always really rewarding that to get a joke, one must have an ever so tiny amount of background knowledge.

      In case you are still wondering ^^ There is a saying that says "When in Rome, do as the Romans do" which means when in a certain country, one should adjust to the local customs. Sometimes the last part is omitted and people just say "When in Rome...". So it was kind of a word play there, they included the saying and then kind of made it literal. I hope this makes it a bit clearer ^^°

    Awesome! I'm an English teacher from the Czech Republic. I use your videos in my classes and my students love them. I know Czechia isn't as popular as Italy, but I still hope that, one day, when you've covered all the popular countries, our time will come. Possible jokes: stag parties in Prague, socks in sandals, beer, stealing, refusing euro (banknotes with angry-looking dead people instead), former president stole a pen on camera in Chile, the city of Český Krumlov crowded with Chinese tourists, national anthem sounds homeless "🎵 Where is my home? Where is my home? 🎵", often confused with Chechnya, not Czechoslovakia since 1993 but nobody's noticed, natives make foreigners pronounce Ř and laugh at them when they fail. De ekccent vould be similar to de RRussian ekcent, I fink, d and f instead of th, e instead of a (Apple, cAt), -ink instead of -ing.

The cab driver got on the highway through the EXIT. I saw the cars coming toward us from all the lanes at full speed. The cab driver swerves the steering wheel, the car went throught the grass in the middle of the highway until we got to the other half of the highway and he just inserted himself between all other speeding cars going in the right direction. Did not even have time to scream. Just told my sons: well, we are still alive. I am not making it up. It is TRUE!

    The corruption joke at the end made me crack up so much. I have to say though out of this series, I got the least jokes in this episode. Not because I didn't get the punchlines, but because I didn't get what the "obvious" answer was for some.

    This might be my favorite one. That Vatican City joke was beautiful.
