AMERICAN REACTS to "Explaining Europe to Americans"

Ajouté : 2026-06-04

[00:00:00]What is going on ladies and gentlemen?

[00:00:01]Welcome back. I hope everyone is healthy and well today. Welcome all my new supporters. Thank you so much for joining me today. Today I bring to you something highly requested, something I feel was very much needed. I'm not going to lie. Let's jump right into this video. Original video link will be down below in the description. Today we'll be reacting to explaining Europe to Americans. Now, this was highly highly recommended by my lovely supporters. Um all my Americans tuning in, let's see where we're at mentally. You know, I've been I've been going over this for a minute now.

[00:00:31]>> Weird European movies, the metric system, the relaxed laws of underage drinking, and the starter of both world wars. Lately, I've been seeing a lot of information about Europe, and it's been a bit misguided. So, here I present to you a little crash course about this part of the world. So, let's start off with geography. Unfortunately, or fortunately, Europe does not look like this. It looks like this. Europe has over 40 countries. So it's much more than just France, Germany, and Italy.

[00:01:00]And saying you visited Europe is a very broad term because >> I I just spoke to too many people. They I'm going to Europe. I mean where though like where specifically, you know, and I get to asking specifically, they look at me like, "What are you talking about?"

[00:01:17]Like I'm the one that don't know anything. Like like I'm the one that's confused. All right, let's go ahead. I I don't I don't know. Like why people be treating me like that? like this Europe has over 40 countries. So it's much more than just France, Germany, and Italy.

[00:01:30]And saying you visited Europe is a very broad term because this part of Europe is very different from this part of Europe.

[00:01:38]>> The biggest country in Europe is Russia and the smallest country in Europe is the Vatican City, which is basically a giant building with a giant park. Europe can be divided depending on how you look at it. It can be divided politically, geographically or historically. For example, here the east from the west and here the red from the green from the turquoise or potato tomato regions. So let's look at the general way of how Europe can be divided.

[00:02:09]Firstly on the list is of course western Europe. These are the countries that people want to move in, live in and be born in. They are economically better off and they have a lot of work opportunities. These countries include Germany, France, Austria, Belgium and if you don't count the British islands as their separate thing, then there also are in the west of Europe. Next up, we have Northern Europe. A lot of these countries are >> so so so we got to remember it like this. Yeah, these strobe lights got me like little a little moist up top. I'mma remember it like this. So for this one, we going to call it Where people want to move. No. Okay.

[00:02:48]Let's just shorten it. Where you want to move. Let's put it that. So that's for the first one. Where you want to move.

[00:02:54]That's for Western, right? That's for Western Europe. Okay. So now we're on Northern Europe.

[00:03:00]>> Are doing great or even they're better off in terms of quality of life. Except for Sweden. It's having a rough patch with crimes apparently. But they're pretty cold and in the winter it gets really dark, so not a lot of people want to move there necessarily. Not only are they cold when it comes to weather, but also when it comes to their friendliness scale. They're usually considered a bit more unfriendly or reserved. These countries are also referred to as Nordic or Scandinavian countries. They have a lot of Viking heritage and they like to fish. They have a lot of fish and water around them. Moving on to Southern Europe. These are the countries that people like to visit on vacation.

[00:03:39]They're warm, maybe too warm for some people, and by some people I mean me.

[00:03:44]They have great food and wine. They're pretty friendly. And some of them like to take naps in the middle of the day, which sounds like a dream. But their economy is not doing that great.

[00:03:55]>> Oh man.

[00:03:56]>> And if you're wondering why is this section a darker orange, well, I'll get to that in a bit. And now we have Eastern Europe.

[00:04:06]Well, the problem with Eastern Europe is that nobody wants to be called Eastern Europe. This division is based on the time when the fire nation attacked. So a lot of these countries were occupied.

[00:04:18]Since east of Europe is not the best area to be associated with, countries like to identify themselves with other names. For example, Romania, Croatia likes to be called the Balkans. Estonia, Latia, and Lithuania are the Baltics, but to be honest, they're quite high up geographically, so maybe they could be considered even Northern Europe. Poland, Czech Republic, and Slovakia likes to be called the Central Europe. And now we're left with countries that are not.

[00:04:44]>> Wait a minute. Huh? I didn't know that.

[00:04:49]>> See, that that that get confusing when everybody gets to saying what they want to say. You know, Eastern Europe is the same as Central Europe.

[00:04:58]But I never really thought that like like you know thought to look it up because I've always tried to figure out wait a minute central they got eastern they got western like it's just I'm so glad she explained that.

[00:05:16]It's cuz they don't want to be referred to as Eastern Europe. I understand.

[00:05:24]likes to be called the central Europe and now we're left with countries that are not doing that great for multiple reasons and I would say maybe they would rather be called Slavic countries rather than Eastern Europe.

[00:05:37]>> THAT'S WHY WHAT WHERE HAVE I BEEN? Wait a minute. THAT'S WHY YO I HAVE I'VE definitely heard people refer to you know some of the countries in Europe as Slavic. Slavic, right? Am I saying that right? Slavic country.

[00:05:51]>> Maybe they would rather be called Slavic. Slavic slap, bro.

[00:05:57]And the whole time I'm like, huh? Like it it kind of confuses me because you really got to learn. Okay, so I understood, okay, Eastern Europe, but that's all I knew it as.

[00:06:07]You know what I'm saying?

[00:06:11]This gets deep, man. This reminds me of that uh that video when I reacted to England and it was like breaking up England and explaining each part and everything, man. And they're like, "Don't call this this because people don't like being called this." But that was like the proper, you know what I'm saying? Like it's one of those things you got to just go with it because people don't want to be called Eastern Europe. This This is reminding me I'm getting PTSD from that. That UK video, man, cuz that boy was that difficult.

[00:06:36]Boy, was that something to really like wrap my mind around. This one right here got me.

[00:06:44]Okay, so scratch Eastern Europe because that's already like in the surface. We basically we got to remember these these terms the the Baltics central Europe >> for multiple reasons and I would say maybe they would rather be called Slavic countries rather than Eastern Europe.

[00:07:05]You can be both but one of them sounds a bit more cool than the other one.

[00:07:10]>> So if you agree with the concept of central Europe then scratch whatever I said before about Europe looking like this. Now Europe looks like this. And I have to say I have nothing against being called Central Europe or the existence of Central Europe. I think it's just funny how nobody wants to be called Eastern European. So then lastly we have Central Europe. Basically all the German speaking countries and more. These countries are located in the core economic region of Europe. They have stable governments and a relatively high quality of life. And these countries also love beer and they like to fight on who drinks the most beer. This is an interesting correlation I found. Not that it's related to geography, but it's an interesting fact. With all that said, the number one thing you should remember is that Europe is not a country. It is a continent that has a lot of countries.

[00:08:03]And if you know where the capital of Paris, Berlin, and London is, you're doing a good job and you should pat yourself on the shoulder. And I definitely don't expect you to know where Malta is. which is right here and it's very small. I don't even expect people from France to know the capital of Latvia. So if you know a little bit about this place, it's already pretty good. I think one of the most important things is just not to make assumptions. For example, calling Lithuania basically Russia is very disrespectful or Ireland is the same as UK.

[00:08:38]>> See >> not a good thing to do. Open a map before opening your mouth. Just >> that. That's crazy. You know that that that's crazy. That's like asking a Scottish person. You You see what I'm Oh, you see what I'm saying? How does it feel to be a brick?

[00:08:57]Oh, man. You done started something like that. You see what I'm saying?

[00:09:03]That's what I'm saying for the last video. You got to really understand.

[00:09:07]Don't go out there now to one of these countries in Europe. But yeah, Eastern Europe >> because if you run into the wrong person and we do not call it that, >> not a good thing to do. So maybe open a map before opening your mouth. Just a friendly suggestion. And also maybe it's helpful to know the difference between Europe and European Union >> which I'll cover that >> in a bit. And now we can move on to >> history. Well, Europeans have a lot of beef with each other. UK and Ireland, Romania and Hungary, Portugal and Spain, and Russia with basically everybody in the world. And it's all because of history. Europe has a lot of it. There were a lot of agreements, disagreements, and wars over land in the past and also now. Some stuff is serious and some stuff ended up countries just making fun of each other. For example, Austria making fun of Germany, France and the Netherlands making fun of Belgium, or the whole Scandinavian area making fun of the Danes because of their weird sounding language. Because of history, we have cities like this that were weirdly divided between Netherlands and Belgium. They even have houses that are divided into two. So, pretty strange.

[00:10:23]And we also have a city like this in the Baltics between Estonia and Latvia.

[00:10:27]Okay. Then when you compare Europe to the US, you can see that America is actually bigger in size than Europe.

[00:10:32]Much bigger. Europe is 2/3 of America.

[00:10:36]But the main difference between these two is that one of them is much more densely populated than the other. The US has 300 million people living in there and Europe has 700 million. And yet they're smaller in size. Each country here has their own rules, their own languages, their own culture. And so a more accurate comparison would be something like this. Every country is their own little America. And what I mean by that, we can take a look at Germany for example. The country is divided into 16 states.

[00:11:07]>> And this Germany and this Germany is very different. They also sound very different when >> so many dialects um within Germany.

[00:11:18]There are so many dialects within Germany.

[00:11:23]It's in the hundreds. It's crazy. It's what >> Germany and this Germany is very different. They also sound very different. When they talk to each other, they might not even understand each other.

[00:11:35]>> Plus, we also have Austria right here that also speaks German, but their German is very different from the standard German. But they are right next to each other. So, how did this happen?

[00:11:47]uh history and culture and a lot of the stuff in between. Then we can also look at UK which is fully separated from Europe by water. Here the country is divided into four regions which is Scotland, Wales, England and Northern Ireland. But if you look deeper under the surface, it's also divided into smaller regions. And if you try harder, you can also divide it into just towns, cities, and villages. The UK is an interesting example of how the language and the culture developed a little bit differently. Even though they're right next to each other and the country is quite small, here people can recognize your status or class based on where you grew up in which is um a thing I suppose. Now let's talk about the economical state of Europe.

[00:12:34]Firstly, let's cover what is the EU.

[00:12:37]>> That was interesting, you know, and when you look it up, where is the UK? Hey, is the UK in Europe? It'll say specifically, yes, the UK is in Europe.

[00:12:47]It's considered because it's in d this part, this and that. But then when you do like other studies and look on other websites or if I look it up on like another day, like it could be a Wednesday. Talk about some no UK is not in Europe. In fact, it's I'm like, bro, one day is yes and one day is no. Which one is it?

[00:13:11]The economical state of Europe. Firstly, let's cover what is the EU or European Union as they say. It is an international organization comprising of 27 countries that govern common social, economic and security policies. EU is in Europe, but the whole Europe is not in the EU. Just like a square is a rectangle, but a rectangle is not a square. What I mean is that not all European countries are a part of this.

[00:13:39]Some do want to join and some want to leave for a variety of reasons. From my understanding, this is the EU flag, not the Europe flag, but we do use it as a Europe flag to represent the unity of Europe, which is a little bit confusing, but there's not much I can do. The nice part about the EU is that a lot of European countries share the same currency, which is the Euro currency.

[00:14:05]Not all of them use euros, but many do.

[00:14:07]These countries like to stick to their currencies. So if you try and buy some groceries with your American dollars, you will most likely be rejected unless you're in an >> What? Bro, I've been like lied to. I've been lied to. Crazy, bro. I like that's that's that's that's I've been misled.

[00:14:30]That's so unfair. That's that's crazy.

[00:14:32]That don't make no sense. That's That just blew my mind, bro. Oh, I just bought this. I just bought this headset today and I'm dropping it already. I just bought it today, bro. Y'all remember this headset I had out and I broke it the other video a long time ago.

[00:14:48]Like this video.

[00:14:52]All right, let me let me let me let me see. Let me see. Let me lock in. Let me And it's hot. And it's hot. Don't make it no better. You know, >> many do. These countries like to stick to their currencies. So if you try and buy some groceries with your American dollars, you will most likely be rejected.

[00:15:09]>> But how? Why?

[00:15:12]They always talk about, bro, that's we got to stop. My Americans, y'all got to stop for real. Cuz y'all got me thinking when we go to other countries, they be looking at our money like, "Oh, American dollar. They don't care." Whole time I had it in the back of my head like, "Oh, the American dollar may be the best dollar. top, you know, top priority, top notchotch, big dog, even though it looks horrible. Like it ain't it ain't durable.

[00:15:40]Like seriously, like I don't even know how our money's worth anything, honestly.

[00:15:46]But we're not going to we're not going to get started on that, you know, cuz me personally, I feel like the euro is a little more detailed, a little worth more, should I say, a little more Yeah.

[00:15:56]worth it than American dollar. So if y'all were to come out to the US and spend your euros, I would probably look AT THAT MONEY. OH, WE don't have this.

[00:16:06]You know, I want that. I need that. Need that, you know. But we go out there. You telling me you going to deny my money?

[00:16:12]My money not good enough. I'm not good when I go out there with cash.

[00:16:18]So I got to use a card. I gotta use a card or I gotta exchange my money in and I gotta get some euros.

[00:16:29]That's what I would definitely do. I'm not using my card. I tra I trade my US dollars in and I get euros. But that is But I understand you're in a whole another country. So, if you probably came to the US with euros, there are some stores that that that um on second thought, are there any stores that are Let me let me know in the comments. Are there any stores that actually take euros? There are some stores out there in Europe that take American dollar bills, but now in the US, I don't know if we take euros at all.

[00:17:05]So, please let me know.

[00:17:08]That that's interesting.

[00:17:12]So I mean I can understand though because even though Europe is not a country, it's a continent with several countries within it, you know, everyone is is accepting euros only, you know, within their countries cuz that's their country. I want no US dollar. So I do understand that. It's just the fact of what I've been taught, you know, US dollar is top priority, top notch. If you go out to another country, they'll bargain with you. You know why? Because US dollar. This what everybody been telling me this. This is what I've been getting taught growing up. They go bargain with you, bro. They go bargain with you cuz it's a US dollar. They And then like they be making it seem like when you go out there to Europe, they look at you like you got money cuz you from America. What are you talking about? When I go out there to Europe, I look at them like they got money. What you like, you know? I'm tired of Americans, bro. Real talk, bro. because y'all got me thinking something completely different. And here it is.

[00:18:06]I'm coming to my sense like, nah, no.

[00:18:09]You know, because the way I view, you know, uh, Europe, European Union, Europeans, come on.

[00:18:17]We got to stop with these stereotypical assumptions out here.

[00:18:23]For real, bro. Starting to getting to me, man. I got to get I got to get about you, man. Unless you're in an groceries with your American dollars, you will most likely be rejected. Unless you're in an airport or some kind of tourist hot spot, then uh it will not go that well. I mean, would you sell me a You will most likely be rejected. Unless you're in an airport or some kind of tourist hot spot, then uh it will not go that well. I mean, would you sell me a sandwich if I say I have 200,000 Animal Crossing bells? Probably not. And if you said yes, I'm not sure about your business practices. 20 EU countries use euros, but in total it's 27 because some countries decide.

[00:19:04]>> Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. It don't I mean Oh, I understand why she compared it to that because our money literally means nothing in Europe. Vice versa, your money literally means nothing out here, you know. Okay, so I understand why she compared it to something that's not even a currency. Yeah, that was a crazy comparison. I READ OKAY, I SEE I SEE WHAT SHE DID THERE. I SEE WHAT she did there. That was nice. That was nice. I see what she did. I see what she did.

[00:19:27]>> I mean, would you sell me a sandwich if I say I have 200,000 Animal Crossing bells?

[00:19:33]>> Yeah, >> probably not. And if you said yes, I'm not sure about your business practices.

[00:19:38]20 EU countries use euros. But in total, it's 27 because some countries decided to make it their currency unofficially.

[00:19:45]But not all EU countries switch to euro and some of them still stayed with their old currency. So if you're traveling to those countries, check ahead what kind of money do they use.

[00:19:56]>> The money looks >> and ignore UK because I forgot they they decided to leave or they already left.

[00:20:01]So they're just doing their own thing.

[00:20:02]But many countries over the years did switch to using euros which is very convenient when you travel. But as a Latian I remember having lats and being very sad that we're going to switch to euros now. The only reason I didn't want it to happen because I really like this coin and you know nostalgia reasons and cultural reasons. But now I don't have to exchange my currency or try and always calculate in my mind how much is this in lats or how much is this in euros. So overall a good thing I think you can let me know if you have an opinion about this. Now the last thing on our list is culture.

[00:20:40]America is not Europe and Europe is not America. We run things differently around here. Like for example, it's very rare to find a building that has central AC. Most of us just have a big heat wave in the middle of the summer and we suffer for 2 weeks and then it's all good.

[00:20:58]>> I don't know how you do that. I haven't seen a lot of a lot of Europeans do that, you know.

[00:21:06]And I don't even want to say Europeans.

[00:21:08]I don't like calling people Europeans because it's like, all right, although you're in a certain part of Europe at the same time, it's not a country.

[00:21:17]You came from a country, what where'd you come from? You know what I'm saying?

[00:21:21]Like it Okay, but in this in this broad using, we're going to just say European. We're going to just say European. How about that?

[00:21:39]building that has central AC. Most of us just have a hot heat wave in the middle of the summer and we suffer for two weeks and then it's all good.

[00:21:47]>> So, how many showers y'all take a day out there in Europe? H how how many showers do y'all take a day because I not really putting essential air on? A lot of people told me people don't really drive around with the AC on in Europe. Like in certain countries like windows down, it don't matter if it's 100 degrees out. It's like a way of saving being you know energy efficient should I say this is what people tell me and then a lot of people say well what's the point of it's a lot of stuff about saving energy and water guys and I realize that that's why I don't judge it a lot I know people be like what's the point of taking a shower before we go out if it's going to be hot now we're trying to save money energy and everything we're trying to just get to where we got to go we're not going to put the AC on now. You know what I'm saying? Okay, we're going to just go straight to our destination and then go all the way back home the same way. We're not going to put no air on or nothing. We're going to crack nothing but the windows um in a car at home and and let the fresh air go through. This is what people do. And then when it's time to wind down, people take showers.

[00:22:56]So, they kind of just stick more to the natural the the natural environment, should I say, the natural temperature.

[00:23:04]of of their environment. It's not like, "Oh, it's hot. Let's let's stay in the house with AC on." Like, it's literally like whatever today is, this is how we live. And and I don't judge that at all.

[00:23:15]I don't judge that at all. Some people got a lot of good reasons. I see people take showers out here in the US. Yo, I'm in New Jersey. It's something about the sun. The sun don't make no sense out here in Jersey. It's real hot. Real real hot.

[00:23:26]I mean, it don't compare to how it is out there.

[00:23:33]I mean, I don't want to go on a rant. I don't I don't want to go on a rant, but like people be taking showers and everything and just to go outside to be mad hot.

[00:23:45]You about to sweat just to go start the car up and that's ridiculous. And then you about to go out all sweaty and everything. And I mean, you could put the air on. I guess that's the difference. People are actually rocking the AC in the United States. People not really doing that in Europe. So it's different, you know, very very different. So like how many showers would you have to take a day?

[00:24:10]Because yet again, wouldn't like you basically have a odor if you wasn't say it was like that for two weeks, three weeks straight. You got to eventually take a shower like I got to go to work. I got to do this and that. You know, this doesn't count for everyone. I'm pretty sure. But um please let me know in the comments down below.

[00:24:28]Like I said, I do not judge. I'm just curious to learn more about this. You know, I don't want to go out there to one of the countries in Europe and I'm sitting there expecting AC like some privileged American.

[00:24:38]Some privileged American about 70 degrees outside. Got to enjoy whatever breeze you get. Yo, y'all got to let me know.

[00:24:47]It's hot out there. It's hot.

[00:24:51]>> And Europe is not America. We run things differently around here. Like for example, it's very rare to find a building that has central AC. Most of us just have a big heat wave in the middle of the summer and we suffer for 2 weeks and then it's all good. But the normal AC is a bit more common in Southern Europe, but not everywhere. In some ways, we're not that different from you.

[00:25:11]And maybe we're not even better than you, but we certainly think we are. I mean, we also have McDonald's and we do like our convenient cars, but we're not that obsessed with it. And our cities don't look like the medieval times. I mean, some do, but we certainly stopped throwing trash out of the windows and burning witches. As mentioned before, Europe has a lot of countries, so there's a lot of different cultures, foods, traditions, and preferences. And so, I gathered some cultural things to generally know about Europe. The first thing on my list is that you're probably not Italian. If the only thing that makes you Italian is that you took an ancestry test that told you that your blood is 57% Italian, you're probably not Italian. It doesn't count if you have Italian ancestors from the 1800s that settled to America. If you didn't grow up in Italy, you don't have any Italian relatives like grandparents' parents or aunts and uncles, and you don't know how to speak Italian. I'm sorry to say this, but >> you're not Italian. Word. That's what I be saying. Stop. You stop putting on a front. Stop fronting. Who are you lying to? You lying to nobody but yourself.

[00:26:17]You only fooling yourself because you know personally you ain't Italian. You know you eat pasta with the red sauce a few times unless somebody in your family talk about how somebody they know somebody they know down the line in the family got Italian in them. Now you Italian. I'm so tired of people man. I'm tired of people for you know what I'm saying? Look like I'm so tired of >> And you don't know how to speak Italian.

[00:26:41]They know a few different but you're not Italian.

[00:26:44]>> Being able >> I can't stand it >> know how to speak Italian. I'm sorry to say this but you're not Italian. Being able to pronounce mozzarella correctly or having a family recipe of spaghetti and meatballs doesn't give you an Italian passport. Plus spaghetti and meatballs is an Italian American dish.

[00:27:01]They don't really eat that in Italy.

[00:27:03]Don't get me wrong. It's a nice fact and it's fun to know where your ancestors came from.

[00:27:07]>> Wait, I know you lying. give you an Italian passport. Plus, spaghetti and meatballs is an Italian American dish.

[00:27:14]They don't really eat that in Italy.

[00:27:19]>> So, what do y'all eat? What do you eat in Italy then? That whole time I'm thinking this is all they eating in Italy. The way they be repping it out here. Spaghetti. Spaghetti. Like, oh my gosh.

[00:27:31]I'm sorry. Red sauce or the pasta?

[00:27:33]However they What is it? Is it red sauce? They're so like it's what the Americans be saying. So now I'm curious.

[00:27:39]Do Italians even say that?

[00:27:43]Pasta with the red sauce and then some people say spaghetti. I heard that's a big difference. Like I like Okay, y'all got to let me know in the comments.

[00:27:51]Where my Italians at, man?

[00:27:54]Because this these Americans out here front, man. Let them tell you they got Italian in them.

[00:27:58]>> Passport. Plus, spaghetti and meatballs is an Italian American dish. They don't really eat that in Italy. Don't get me wrong, it's a nice fact and it's fun to know where your ancestors came from, >> but it doesn't mean that you have the right to claim to be this nationality.

[00:28:13]Then a lot of people here are bilingual, but that does not mean that they know English. Often times in most schools, you learn three languages. Your language, >> three, we not even learning one. We can't even learn one. They giving us Spanish. That's the only choice we got is Spanish. I've been learning Spanish since day one in school and I still don't know Spanish.

[00:28:39]foreign country's language and most likely English or whatever else you want to learn. But that does not mean everybody speaks English or want to speak English. So it's always nice to learn a little bit before you come here.

[00:28:50]Even just knowing how to say please and thank you is already something. Then thirdly, in Eastern Europe and in Northern Europe, people don't really like small talking with strangers. Plus, walking and smiling alone is considered weird. They probably will think you're crazy reserved and cold because it probably is cold most of the time and they don't like to waste their energy on things that don't really matter. So, if you see them smiling, it's most likely sincere.

[00:29:16]Then, next we have Sundays. Some countries consider Sunday as a holy day, so a lot of shops and grocery stores are closed or they might not be open at their usual schedule. Germany and Poland are quite serious about it. So, you'll just have to deal with it.

[00:29:32]>> I rather that at this point because the time job closing on Sundays, it don't make no sense out here. It'd be so early and you just opened you. Yeah, come on.

[00:29:41]Like, I just woke up as a m I'm not messing with it. I feel like maybe you should just be closed on a Sunday then if it's that serious.

[00:29:51]>> Food is also a big part of our culture.

[00:29:54]So, here is a >> oh >> subsection about food and restaurants.

[00:29:57]Well, first of all, let's talk about additives. The EU is cautious of what we put on our food. As you can see, the fries from McDonald's. Here is a list of ingredients in the UK, which I think by that time was part of the EU. And here I've seen that video that they use in the US.

[00:30:15]>> It's probably more ingredients now, huh?

[00:30:20]>> I've seen this video, bro. We reacted to this.

[00:30:26]The amount of ingredients in the US foods was ridiculous compared to how it was in Europe. I mean, how hard is it?

[00:30:33]It cut the potato, put the potato in something oil, I guess, whatever.

[00:30:39]Whatever you going what type of oil, you know, and then um it's actually I actually use a different oil as well, something more, you know, quality.

[00:30:51]And put some salt on it. Like, it's not that hard. They get to add in all different types of all different types of bleach and everything. Bro, I'll be like, "What is this?"

[00:31:03]>> was part of the EU. And here is a list of ingredients that they use in the US.

[00:31:08]Way more things that I don't know what they are. If you don't know what it is, then we have many ingredients that start with the letter E and end with the number, but we are very selective of which ones we want to bring into our club. What I've learned from food theory is that EU takes the approach of guilty until proven innocent. Meaning if the additives are proven to not be harmful, then they're accepted into our food chain.

[00:31:31]>> And you know what the US do? Innocent till proven guilty. And I'm tired of that BS. Stop doing that. Stop doing that. Cuz 20, 20 years down the line, we got all these people with health issues or you just now finding out something.

[00:31:43]You just now finding out something. Now it's an issue. Now I ain't got to get rid of it.

[00:31:49]You know, now it's discontinued. Now you want to go put it out on the on the news stations and a mass media, you know, text or tweet, hey, such and such. We're not selling this no more because how many people then passed away from this product or have conditions because of this or a illness now or they're in critical condition. You see what I'm saying? or they had some type of allergic reaction or it's ridiculous. For real, you got to find something wrong for something got to happen. That's why I be saying to you, somebody got to lose a life or something first or get hurt. It got to be something crazy in order to make a change out there. And you know, Europe, it seems more of like a a common sense. Hey, let's let's not do that, you know, because what if somebody does, you know, get hurt or this or that or lose their life, you know?

[00:32:42]Hello, bro. I I it don't make no sense. It's just laziness and cheapness.

[00:32:49]>> Are proven to not be harmful, then they're accepted into our food chain.

[00:32:55]Each country has their own specialties and traditional foods. So, there's lots to experience and to try. So, we'll probably find a little bit weird if you stick to McDonald's and Starbucks and Duncan that you can find back at home at a 10-minute drive away from your house.

[00:33:09]But I do have to say if you're going to these places to find something new, something that is not sold in your country, then I think it's fine. I've done it. For some reason, people are judging me for this, but I want to know what a macaron tastes like at a French McDonald's. I'm curious, is it good? Is it bad? Should I buy it again?

[00:33:30]>> Speaking of restaurants, >> I don't eat McDonald's. I never would dare in my life again eat McDonald's. I I did go to Mexico and I had McDonald's with my family years years ago and it was that it was that. You ever had five guys? It tastes a little better than that, you know? Like it was that for real. I'm like, "Yo, people is really eating here." Imagine we in Mexico. We in the streets of Mexico, you know? We ain't we ain't that all inclusive resort no more. So everybody out there with their families and stuff like it's a regular restaurant eating big meals too.

[00:33:58]Big meals. This is dinner. Like this is crazy. like this ain't nothing like the US that you got to ask like trying and eating and I'm like >> I'm curious. Is it good? Is it bad? Oh, >> should I buy it again?

[00:34:18]>> Speaking of restaurants, prepare yourself that the service will be just okay. They will not go above and beyond to please your every need. They might not be fast and they might not be friendly. There are humans that have emotions and down days and are not full of energy all the time and they will leave you alone to eat your food and might not check up on you at all.

[00:34:37]>> No check out.

[00:34:38]>> I've been to plenty of cafes and restaurants where they did have very friendly and good service. But not all of them will be like this and so just be mentally prepared that they will not take your dish back and give you a refund if you just don't like it. You'll just have to pick something better next time. Then also we have tipping. In most countries, waiters receive a fair minimum wage, but it's still minimum wage, so it's quite low. So, we do like tipping, but just 5 to 10%. A more modest tip. Or you just round off the bill that the number looks nice. But the tipping etiquette can be different for each country. For example, in Germany, you tip when you pay, but in France, you leave a tip on the table when you leave and already paid. what I hear a lot of people from America living or visiting Europe say that we don't have good Mexican food and it's true because Mexico is right here right next to United States and Mexico is pretty far away from Europe so not a lot of people that know how to cook good Mexican food come to Europe to open Mexican restaurants and that makes sense because we have a whole ocean between us don't get me wrong I would love to go to a Mexican restaurant but I don't even know how good Mexican food tastes like cuz I never been to Mexico cuz again it's pretty far away.

[00:35:52]>> She ain't never had Mexican food before.

[00:35:56]But that's like that's like me. I ain't never had no German food. You know what I'm saying? Like oh man, somebody could say the same for me. Stra, you ain't never been to the UK. You ain't never had this before. You right. Yo, I got to get out.

[00:36:13]2027 is that year, baby.

[00:36:15]2027 is that year. We gonna lock it down. Yo, yo, mark my words. We're going to lock it down. We're going to get our own spot, you know. We're going to be consistent with the videos, streaming.

[00:36:27]I'mma have my own little fune, you see.

[00:36:30]And we're going to grind and we going, you know, that'll be the start of the journey for real. And we're going to travel and and do our thing. 2027. Mark my words, guys. Somebody clip this.

[00:36:40]Somebody got to clip it. Somebody got to clip it. You know what? You don't even got to this clip is going it's going to come back up a few years later.

[00:36:47]>> Thing on our list is it's going to come back up.

[00:36:50]>> America is not Europe and Europe is not America. We run things differently around here. Like for example, it's very rare to find a building that has central suffer for everywhere. In some ways, we're not that different from also have McDonald's and our so there's a lot of different cultures, foods, traditions, and preferences. And so I gathered some cultural things to generally know about you.

[00:37:13]>> I think I think I think I did it again.

[00:37:15]Remember I did this last video? Like when in the world did like my mouse hit somewhere over here and take me back way over yonder. When when when did that happen? Is it me? Why does this be happening in videos, bro? I think I'll be losing my minds. I'm not even going to cut this out cuz I want y'all to see some of the stuff I'll be going through, you know? I like wait and it's hot. And it's I talk about sensual air. It's hot with a sensual air right here. This must be how y'all be feeling. I'm like damp and moist right now, but I'm rocking.

[00:37:42]I'm cool. I got the fan on in the back.

[00:37:45]I ain't nothing to trip about. I got the fan on the back.

[00:37:48]>> Did I actually go a little bit too much?

[00:37:50]>> And most likely English or whatever else you want to learn. But that does not mean everybody speaks English or want to speak English and they don't like to waste their energy on things that don't really matter. So if you >> Yo, I really like how y'all move out there. Let's backtrack a little bit. I really like how y'all move because like so many times I was just trying to be the nice guy. You know, you give somebody a little smile in public just to let them know you're not a threat or something cuz sometimes people be looking like and they don't even smile back or give you the time of the all right now. I feel some type of way about you now. You know what I'm saying?

[00:38:28]>> Something. Then thirdly, in Eastern Europe and in Northern Europe, people don't really like small talking with strangers. Plus, walking and smiling alone is considered weird. They probably will think you're crazy. People here are reserved and cold because it probably is cold most of the time, and they don't like to waste their energy on things that don't really matter. So, if you see them smiling, it's most likely sincere.

[00:38:51]Then next, we have Sundays. Some countries consider Sunday as a holy day, so a lot of shops and grocery stores are closed or they might not be open at their usual schedule. Germany and Poland are quite serious about it. So you'll just have to deal with it. Food is also a big part of our culture. So here is a >> we did see this >> is the list minute drive away. I took fast and they might not be friendly. There are humans that have emotions and down days and are not full of energy all the time and they will leave you alone to eat your food and might not check up on you at all.

[00:39:27]I've been to plenty of cafes and restaurants where they did have very friendly and good service, but not all of them will be like this. And so just be mentally prepared that they will not take your dish back and give you a refund if you just don't like it. You'll just have to pick something better next time. Then also we have tipping. In most countries, waiters receive a fair minimum wage.

[00:39:47]>> That's right.

[00:39:47]>> But it's still minimum wage. We did hear about the tipping >> because Mexico >> Mexican. We did hear the Mexican food.

[00:39:54]>> Be spatially aware and not be too loud.

[00:39:56]>> I must have had a reputation.

[00:39:58]>> A ghost in my room or something, bro.

[00:40:00]Because how did it backtrack us that far in the video? Did Did I Did you guys see me literally go back like this and Am I losing my mind?

[00:40:09]Am I losing my mind? I be having so much going through my mind these videos. What if I did backtracking to somebody like, "Yeah, you did here in Europe that they're loud and annoying. Maybe they're not necessarily American. They might be Canadian, but just be aware of the situation if it's quiet or not and how loud you're speaking. Especially in countries like Germany, they take it really seriously and they will point it out that you're being too loud. Now, all that being said, Europe is not a perfect >> It's sarcasm out there in Germany, man.

[00:40:49]That's why I'm kind of scared to go to Germany. You know, what if you do something wrong, they definitely going to they're going to hit you with a joke.

[00:40:55]some type of sarcasm, man. Like, if you're being too loud, they might be like, "Do you want to be any louder?

[00:41:03]Are you a little too quiet, aren't you?"

[00:41:05]You know, and if you're just smart enough, you might catch on.

[00:41:10]And if not, I think they just laugh. You think they laughing with you, they laughing at you.

[00:41:16]>> You're being too loud. Now, all that being said, Europe is not a perfect place. We have a lot of issues of our own. Europe is considered to be pretty safe from the rest of the world, but we still have crimes here. And as I said before, Sweden, I'm looking at you.

[00:41:32]What's happening? Especially in big cities, we have a lot of scams and pickpockers. And Paris would be the first city that comes to mind that has this issue. Then Europe also has racial discrimination. Some countries more than others. But an interesting statement that I've heard is that we dislike or have prejudices against people from other countries rather than skin color, which I think the description also fits.

[00:41:54]So, we also do have our problems. So, here are some of my final thoughts.

[00:41:59]Well, if you're an American living in America, you probably don't really care.

[00:42:03]>> I have yet to like Yeah, I'm not even going to run with that. A lot of people tell me that Shrek, you know, you travel, be careful because this and that, man, I don't care. Anywhere Strat go, man. Them people going to love me. I don't care, man. I don't care, bro.

[00:42:18]I think I think I'll be blessed enough to not have that type of energy around me, you know, just walking around up with good positive vibes. I don't want to have to encounter that, come across that cuz that's going to >> it's going to ruin my trip.

[00:42:31]>> Thoughts? Well, if you're an American living in America, >> you probably don't really care about the intricacies of being European and living in Europe. And that's okay. We don't know everything about you and I don't think you should know everything about us. We have our own stuff to deal with.

[00:42:48]But I do think we can learn from each other. For example, having free public bathrooms or universal healthcare if you're >> No, I like I like the pain. I like I like how people got to pay for the bathrooms. Now, this is nothing. My Americans I know you probably bash me right now. You know, actually there's times I had to use the bathroom and if I had to pay, I probably would have been mad. I'm not going to lie. There's been a lot of clean public bathrooms I have walked in actually that were free. So scratch what I'm about to say because majority of the bathrooms they look horrible. Especially like big franchise places like Walmart and this that horrible horrible. You'll be lucky if it's if it's a little bit of clean or if there's some napkins in there and toilet paper. It's horrible.

[00:43:31]Or if it's not sticky on the floor like it's bad. It's bad you know. or if the the toilet got clogged like bro I don't public bathrooms is crazy and this is why you got to charge people sometimes because if if I said this last video now and I don't mean no disrespect but sometimes you won't attract those type of people if you make them simply pay I'm keeping 100 and they they ain't got no respect for the bathroom or this and that and such and such you know what type of person that is you think they want to Hey, they're not going to pay any, you know.

[00:44:05]Look, give it to the people that's going to pay, take care of it and everything.

[00:44:08]The class, sometimes you got to have class sometimes, bro. Sometimes you just have to cuz I've seen the bathrooms out here and it's it's >> free public bathrooms >> or universal healthcare. If you're planning on visiting European countries, I would suggest just looking up some stuff about what to do or what not to do and some little language bits and pieces of saying please and thank you or just in general be more aware of your surroundings. Not just for Americans, but for anyone out there in the world.

[00:44:37]So, if you like this video and you like to see more of videos like this, consider me buying me a little tea or coffee at coffee. And I want to say thank you to anybody that did already donate. So, thank you. Thank you.
