"smorgasbord" is an english spelling of the swedish word "smörgårbord". "smörgåsbord" is a combination of the two swedish words "smörgås" meaning sandwich and "bord" meaning table. The literal translation is sandwich table. It has nothing to do with denmark, it is very important not to confuse Denmark with Swedem ;)
I thought the same. Smörgåsbord is not danish, but swedish. In Danmark they say the same as in Norway. In Norway it is called koldtbord, and in Denmark det kolde bord (literally "the cold table").
The word hotdog actually refers to three things: wieners, frankfurters, and the whole sausage sandwich made with either sausage. Wieners are beef and pork sausages that originated from Vienna while frankfurters are pork sausages that originated from Frankfurt.
Vienna in Austrian German looks like Wiener to an English reader. The Dachshund dog from the same place looks like a sausage and visa versa, which is where it got the nickname Wiener Dog. It was also kind of a disparaging remark about where the meat from wieners came from. But people apparently didn't believe that but liked the name hot dog.

in my state we have Enhanced Licenses that work as a passport as long as you are not getting on a plane. So driving to Canada or Mexico you can use the Enhanced license. It cost about $113 and it is good for 6 years, just a normal license is $89 and it is valid for 6 years. IF you already have a drivers license and you want to upgrade it to the enhanced, then it i only $24.
it costs 500$, 1000$ or more in many european countries because you have to pay for the driving lessons, driving tests and exams, sometimes even first aid and first aid classes, and to get the license paper

I'm Norwegian, so I wouldn't be confused if someone asked me to go viking, unless they _didn't_ want me to accompany them to raid the English convents and monasteries. Also, our prices for a driver's license isn't that different from the ones in Japan.
I can't believe you have to pay that much for a driver's license in the US starting at 16 years old you can take the permit test for $10 and after a year if your still under age you can take the driver's test for $32 dollars So just a driver's license will cost you $32
@@toymenagerie2947 Yeah, 32$ is insanly cheap! We pay the same in Sweden 1500-2000 euro. Took My driverslicense 2004, ten years later i payed another 1700 euro and got My motorcyclelicense.
I was 17 and had to pay $800 for class and $50 at the DMV for my license and test. Minors are required to take drivers education in New Hampshire so if you can’t afford it you have to wait until you’re 18
That's not exactly realistic. Sure the DMV costs are relatively low, but you have to factor in classes and behind the wheel training. Just because you took the class in school didn't mean your parents didn't have to pay for your tuition/ class registration that year, and classes with an instructor can run you a few hundred dollars - it really depends.
In Florida drivers ed/test is free in HS, and the cost for a license is $48 I think? Don’t know how much classes are outside of school, but they aren’t required. I think the test is $30?
Lol @ American accent! . It would be similar to saying a human accent. Both bets the question...from which region? A New Yorker sounds nothing like a Kentuckian and neither of them sound like a Louisianian. And none of those three sound like a Texan...and none of those 4 sound like an Alaskan. . I could go on but I'm sure you catch my drift.
The use of “High tension” makes sense in English. The term is also used for electrical power lines. The high voltage power lines have “high tension”, so that term could be used to describe someone filled with lots of energy as well. We don’t say that, but it makes sense!
It doesn't make sense that we call them high tension power lines, the term high tension is not used for high voltage in any other sense. High tension person sounds like a stressed person.
"high tension" always brings to mind electricity and electrical power lines since high tension means a powerful flow of electricity in English. But maybe that's just because I'm older. :)
I thought high tension referred specifically to the wires between the towers that had to remain pulled tight to avoid drooping too much with temperature variation.
Sort of the same for me. I've been a car electrician for many years, and it isn't unusual for us to refer to secondary ignition systems as "high tension", due to a coil outputting 25-50kv, or even more in some applications, out to the spark plugs. Let me tell you, even at the low amperage, that'll bite you.
Reading katakana sure is an adventure in itself. Sometimes it needs some real mental gymnastics just to figure out, which english word it is actually supposed to be. Always entertaining, though :D
I adore these comparison videos. It is interesting to see which words we choose to use because they are useful and which words we choose because they sound fun. 😁
Thanks for this fun video! I live in the USA & was shocked to hear it costs about $3,000 for a driver’s license in Japan. For us it’s normally around $50
you have such a lovable character. however you don't only rely on that, your videos also have really interesting content that the audience can learn from.
One thing I learned when in Japan is that my Japanese friends all thought the word "marron" was English. But it's actually French. I don't know if just my friends who thought this but I noticed that "chestnut" was never written it was always "marron". :)
@@holden_tld Thanks Holden, I can't remember where I heard this, but Google seems to agree with you (and makes sense considering the relationship the Japanese had with Portuguese many years ago :)
Loved this video! Learning about your culture is truly fascinating. I've been in the martial arts my entire life, so Asian culture has always fascinated me. $3k for a drivers license is insane! It's about $50 here in Florida. The bar code hair was freakin hilarious, you're videos are always great for a laugh! Thank you.
I remember when I first went to Japan, my host sister said we were going to go "baikingu" and I forgot that it meant buffet, I thought she was saying we were going to go ride bikes. So i was confused. Then we went to a buffet and I remembered what my Japanese teacher taught us. As far as a driver's license, it's $89 for a new one, or $54 to renew license, which is done every 6 years in Washington State US. When I first got my license, I believe it was $25. I could be wrong, it's been several years. But we have 2 types of driver's license. The 2nd type is an enhanced license which is now required to travel across states, and also to get into Canada, unless you have a passport. It's kind of like a passport, but it's only for US and Canada travel.
I think you are referring to the Real ID that is mandated by Federal Law. Starting May 3, 2023, "every air traveler will need a REAL ID-compliant license, or another acceptable form of identification (such as a passport, passport card, U.S. military card, or DHS trusted traveler card, e.g. Global Entry, NEXUS, SENTRI, FAST) for domestic air travel" But you can still travel to other states by car. You only need the Real ID for air travel.
@@jbrou123 nah, I mean enhanced drivers license. But I was incorrect about what it covers, which it covers Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean, but only for land and sea.
"Tachibana tension" is also very important. Includes "Challengi", pressure, and - of course - (collective) tension. It's performed in several Kyoto Tachibana SHS videos, before the brass band goes on stage, and is intense and very load. Then, they 'attack' and 'do their best'. Absolutely lovely 💙

Ah, the corn dog. Such a great culinary invention! While we do use cornmeal to coat the hot dog, we do use the pancake batter on breakfast sausages on a stick. And it’s called “Pancake and Sausage on a Stick”! We seriously need to find an easier name for it.
In the state of Oregon, the fee is now $40 and its good for 8 years. As it goes for many agencies in America, the requirements and testing vary from state to state. I failed the Oregon drivers written test because I didnt know the hand gestures that horseback riders make. Hilarious!
In the UK, "high tension" is a term for high-voltage overhead power cables! In the early days of electricity, "tension" is what they used to call what we now call "potential difference", or "voltage". But the term stuck for high-tension power cables for some reason.
until now, i never knew what a corn dog was, even though they would be mentioned in cartoons. i'm learning about american culture here! if i hear 'high tension' it just makes me think of AKB, but i'm kinda weird. one english word i think is interesting when used by japanese is 'mansion' it's almost the opposite meaning.
Viking huh. that's fascinating. If a I dunno, Japanese tourist came up to me and said "lets go viking!" I'd just be like: "Man i don't think we could get away with it" XD
Words like "Gacchanko" are called Onomatopoeia in English, or a word that sounds like the noise something makes. Animal noises are all onomatopoeia, and they sound different to every culture. I love that cats say "nyah" and dogs say "wan" in Japan.
I like how you're trying to explain onomatopoeias to someone whose native language probably uses more onomatopoeias than any other language in the world.

Drivers License in Germany is somewhere around 2000€ I think, depending on your performance. You pay for each individual driving lesson (of which there's a minimum required), also a registration fee and a fee for the exam.
Same here in Scandinavia. The prices have come down in the past decades, but it's still ridiculously expensive - as is car insurance and everything related to that.
In America (north Carolina specifically, but I think it’s pretty similar most states) I took a drivers Ed course in high school. I had to pay like $20 to take the course. This was learning the rules, signs, etc. then we did a driving portion with an instructor like 3 times, it didn’t cost anything extra , I got my permit. Then my parents taught me to drive fully, after I learned the basics. Then I paid like $35 to take the full license test. And since I passed I didn’t have to pay anything again till I need to renew. If I wanted to take private lessons those could be costly. Usually around $100+ per lesson, or you can learn from your parents or family, as long as they have been a licensed driver for more than 5 years. If your 18+ you don’t get a permit, just have to pass the tests to get a full license (written and road test), the tests are fairly difficult. The written part is the hardest and you actually need to have studied or paid attention in drivers Ed. The hardest part of the road test was the 3 point turn (where I live we didn’t have to parallel park for the license)
And the anti-German hysteria in America during WWI saw some pretty stupid names replace Germanic ones, especially for foods... Most of the stupid names vanished but a few of the less stupid ones stuck.
There had been also many claims that sausages actually contained dog meat in Germany from the 18th to 20th hundreds. Especially in some German regions which might have led to the name.
@@MrsEats German is the largest ancestry group among european american immigrants. The German American Club in my city has weiner dog races every Oktoberfest. It's cute and hysterical.
And cotton tip applicators are Q-tips, bandages are Bandaids, etc. Some English speaking places you have to distinguish between facial tissue and toilet tissue. Facial tissues shouldn't be flushed frequently they don't break down as readily as toilet tissue. They won't harm your plumbing, but they aren't good for the sewers or septic systems.
This kind of thing is responsible for a lot of the differences in words between different English dialects too, as often the first or dominant brand for something is different depending on country. Clingfilm is another thing that often has local names based on the main local brand.
I guess thats the same in every country. Here in Austria we call adhesive "Uhu" - because it is the most known brand that produces adhesives. This sometimes even confuses german people (almost same language - some different words), even though uhu actually is a german brand....
Driving license in the UK is about £1360(License cost + theory test + average pass rate to lesson/exams) So ¥210976.20 But the license on its own is. £24 ¥3742.37 Replacements are £127 ¥19803.38 GBP-JPY conversion.
Pancake batter is used at the Minnesota State Fair and it is called a Pronto Pup. It's so good. I mean there is so much food there so if you ever get a chance to go to the Minnesota State Fair you will see so munch unique stuff.
Hoooly...driver's licenses in the U.S. are only about $20 and then $40 for the annual registration. For $3,000, I'd just not bother with the whole thing.

Learned new things again! Thanks Mrs. Eats! I'm surprised about the driver's license ID and the fee to pay to get one. That is crazy! Although the good side about it, is that it should keep more cars off the road in some way. Always best to use public transport anyways, especially since Japan's transportation is one of the best in the world, it shouldn't be much of a problem getting from point A, to point B. By the way, the application fee for a driver's license in my country only costs 2 US dollars, and 5+ US dollars for the professional/non-pro fees.
"Japan's transportation is one of the best in the world" unless you are a woman, in which case it can be the most dangerous in the world *(chikan)...for some women, a DL is not a privilege like for a man, it is purchasing safety. That is true in America as well as other parts of the world.
A provisional (no driving permit) licence in the UK costs £34 and a lot of people use it as an ID, as we don't really have any alternative other than passports. This was due to ID cards failing to be popularised in the early 2000s.

Apparently “hot dog” came from people in America believing that wieners actually contained dog meat. Another theory says that the German food resembled the Dachshund dog because they were long and thin, so people just started calling them hot dogs. Weird 😹
$3000 actually starts counting from the day you submitted the documents, started learning driving and the written test, practiced, and until you get the license. There is a thing in Japan that you pay an amount of money and they provide you unlimited practice time until you pass (usually from driving schools). If you say how much does it cost to "issue" a licence that would be around 2000 yen (~$20)
Licenses in Germany are pretty expensive as well. And, honestly, I believe it makes people take driving much more seriously. You pay attention to what you learn. You study. Failing means having to pay more, because you have to go and start again. In the US, you get the license pretty much thrown at you, and... people drive like it, too. xD
@@bockskarr6626 I am OLD and did my license in the early 2000s, so... I have no idea about the current prices, except that they will have gone up. I didn't fail anything, but with the first aid course (mandatory for us to get the license), the mandatory theoretical, the mandatory practical hours, the fees for the test, and about 20 additional hours because I felt unsure about night driving, I ended up just shy of 2000$.
In Austria the drivers license is about 1800€ - 2500€, depending on your skill and the needed amount of extra driving lessons. (you have a set amount to do, but you might have to extend that amount) for Category B (which means Cars up to 3.5 tons weight, no motorbikes), if you want A+B (Motorbikes and Cars) you will have to add an additional 700€-1200€
Smorgesbord (Swedish: Smörgåsbord), in Danish is called "Det kolde bord" which translate to "The cold table". Though there's also warm/hot food on the buffet table as well. Usually done for holidays in Denmark, such as Christmas, new years and Easter.
I always generally heard that hot dogs are called hot dogs because they look like wiener(long and small) dogs from most people. I was also told something about how like Europeans immigrants who brought hot dogs/sausages were joking that they were made of dogs to mess with Americans but, that's just an old story i heard when i was little, from my granddad. I could be remembering the story wrong. All i know for sure is that there's a connection to dogs.
Now I know why stapler has such a weird name! In Australia , it is becoming more and more expensive to get your driver's lisence. We need to do 75 hours of driving ( 25 hours at nighttime), and if you don't have anyone to teach you , it can cost $100 an hour (or more). But before you learn to drive , you need to book your learners test online , and it's $34 before you sit the test. And if you fail the first time, every time you do the exam, it costs another $34. And if you pass the exam, it costs about $68 to get your learners permit. And if you don't have a parent to buy a car for you, you need to do that as well. But many people still try and get a lisence because public transport here is quite bad.... So Japan is so much better in that way.
OK there’s two most likely reasons four how the hot dog got its name First the Germans called frankfurters Dachshund sausages because because they were long and skinny like dachshunds are Frankfurters being the type of sausage most commonly used in hot dogs The other is that college students referred to them as hot dogs because they didn’t know what meat was in the sausage and since it was such low quality they just called dog to make fun of it
Getting a drivers license in my area of Canada for a regular driver is $80 Canadian. The most expensive driving license, used for driving Tractor Trailers (18 Wheelers) is only $105 Canadian. This is only the license fees though, none of the training or courses that are recommended for each class or level of license.
A lot of these are actually quite clever. Bar code is pretty savage I will adopt that one from now on. Paper driver also good. I know when I was in China a lot of people had that too with similar expenses. I talked to a few people and they said for the most part it is so they can rent a car when they go on vacation. Kitchen drinker is a good one too I need more of these to enrich my vocabulary.

in the US starting at 16 years old you can take the permit test for $10 and after a year if your still under age you can take the driver's test for $32 dollars
So just a driver's license will cost you $32
32$?! In Germany you pay 1500-2000€ ^^'
@@toymenagerie2947 Yeah, 32$ is insanly cheap! We pay the same in Sweden 1500-2000 euro. Took My driverslicense 2004, ten years later i payed another 1700 euro and got My motorcyclelicense.
I was 17 and had to pay $800 for class and $50 at the DMV for my license and test. Minors are required to take drivers education in New Hampshire so if you can’t afford it you have to wait until you’re 18
That's not exactly realistic. Sure the DMV costs are relatively low, but you have to factor in classes and behind the wheel training. Just because you took the class in school didn't mean your parents didn't have to pay for your tuition/ class registration that year, and classes with an instructor can run you a few hundred dollars - it really depends.
In Florida drivers ed/test is free in HS, and the cost for a license is $48 I think? Don’t know how much classes are outside of school, but they aren’t required. I think the test is $30?
🤣🤣🤣🤣 omg calling a "comb over" a "barcode" is hilarious and somehow so much meaner 🤣🤣🤣
3:08 she said “barcode” with a stronger American accent than most Americans 😂😂
Lol @ American accent!
.
It would be similar to saying a human accent. Both bets the question...from which region? A New Yorker sounds nothing like a Kentuckian and neither of them sound like a Louisianian. And none of those three sound like a Texan...and none of those 4 sound like an Alaskan.

The use of “High tension” makes sense in English. The term is also used for electrical power lines. The high voltage power lines have “high tension”, so that term could be used to describe someone filled with lots of energy as well. We don’t say that, but it makes sense!
It doesn't make sense that we call them high tension power lines, the term high tension is not used for high voltage in any other sense. High tension person sounds like a stressed person.
What a delightful video. I learned something and the hostess put a smile on my face. Thank you !!!
JPN person: "Wanna go baikingu"
Me, *sweating because I do not knowing how to ride a bike:* uhh....su..sure.....
I know this is a joke but its also so funny because you can't even exist in Japan and not know how to ride a bike
"high tension" always brings to mind electricity and electrical power lines since high tension means a powerful flow of electricity in English.
But maybe that's just because I'm older. :)
I thought high tension referred specifically to the wires between the towers that had to remain pulled tight to avoid drooping too much with temperature variation.
Sort of the same for me. I've been a car electrician for many years, and it isn't unusual for us to refer to secondary ignition systems as "high tension", due to a coil outputting 25-50kv, or even more in some applications, out to the spark plugs. Let me tell you, even at the low amperage, that'll bite you.

@@MrsEats 😄 I'd forgotten about "tycoon"
I thought I knew a lot about Japanese-English and English-Japanese differences, but I always learn new things from your videos.
One thing I learned when in Japan is that my Japanese friends all thought the word "marron" was English. But it's actually French. I don't know if just my friends who thought this but I noticed that "chestnut" was never written it was always "marron". :)
At first I was confused because I thought you did a typo of maroon but then I realized you're talking about the chestnut.
I think a few think that "パン" (bread) is English, too, but comes from the French word "pain"
@@ImperrfectStranger it's actually from portuguese. the modern portuguese word is pão, but it used to be the same as in spanish, pan.
@@holden_tld Thanks Holden, I can't remember where I heard this, but Google seems to agree with you (and makes sense considering the relationship the Japanese had with Portuguese many years ago :)
Loved this video! Learning about your culture is truly fascinating. I've been in the martial arts my entire life, so Asian culture has always fascinated me. $3k for a drivers license is insane! It's about $50 here in Florida. The bar code hair was freakin hilarious, you're videos are always great for a laugh! Thank you.
In Germany and the Netherlands it’s 2 k for your drivers license
I remember when I first went to Japan, my host sister said we were going to go "baikingu" and I forgot that it meant buffet, I thought she was saying we were going to go ride bikes. So i was confused. Then we went to a buffet and I remembered what my Japanese teacher taught us.
As far as a driver's license, it's $89 for a new one, or $54 to renew license, which is done every 6 years in Washington State US. When I first got my license, I believe it was $25. I could be wrong, it's been several years. But we have 2 types of driver's license. The 2nd type is an enhanced license which is now required to travel across states, and also to get into Canada, unless you have a passport. It's kind of like a passport, but it's only for US and Canada travel.
I think you are referring to the Real ID that is mandated by Federal Law. Starting May 3, 2023, "every air traveler will need a REAL ID-compliant license, or another acceptable form of identification (such as a passport, passport card, U.S. military card, or DHS trusted traveler card, e.g. Global Entry, NEXUS, SENTRI, FAST) for domestic air travel" But you can still travel to other states by car. You only need the Real ID for air travel.
@@jbrou123 nah, I mean enhanced drivers license. But I was incorrect about what it covers, which it covers Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean, but only for land and sea.

Ahh! I really couldn’t come up with the right word!!! Turtle house is too cute to turn into a comb!
"Tachibana tension" is also very important. Includes "Challengi", pressure, and - of course - (collective) tension. It's performed in several Kyoto Tachibana SHS videos, before the brass band goes on stage, and is intense and very load. Then, they 'attack' and 'do their best'. Absolutely lovely 💙

Ah, the corn dog. Such a great culinary invention! While we do use cornmeal to coat the hot dog, we do use the pancake batter on breakfast sausages on a stick.

In the UK, "high tension" is a term for high-voltage overhead power cables! In the early days of electricity, "tension" is what they used to call what we now call "potential difference", or "voltage". But the term stuck for high-tension power cables for some reason.
We use it the same way here in the US.
until now, i never knew what a corn dog was, even though they would be mentioned in cartoons. i'm learning about american culture here!
if i hear 'high tension' it just makes me think of AKB, but i'm kinda weird.
one english word i think is interesting when used by japanese is 'mansion' it's almost the opposite meaning.
Yes! Mansions are very large single family homes for rich people not multi family homes or apartment buildings.

Words like "Gacchanko" are called Onomatopoeia in English, or a word that sounds like the noise something makes. Animal noises are all onomatopoeia, and they sound different to every culture. I love that cats say "nyah" and dogs say "wan" in Japan.
I like how you're trying to explain onomatopoeias to someone whose native language probably uses more onomatopoeias than any other language in the world.

Wow your channel blew up! Congrats Mrs Eats!
Drivers License in Germany is somewhere around 2000€ I think, depending on your performance. You pay for each individual driving lesson (of which there's a minimum required), also a registration fee and a fee for the exam.
Same here in Scandinavia. The prices have come down in the past decades, but it's still ridiculously expensive - as is car insurance and everything related to that.
In America (north Carolina specifically, but I think it’s pretty similar most states) I took a drivers Ed course in high school. I had to pay like $20 to take the course. This was learning the rules, signs, etc. then we did a driving portion with an instructor like 3 times, it didn’t cost anything extra , I got my permit. Then my parents taught me to drive fully, after I learned the basics. Then I paid like $35 to take the full license test. And since I passed I didn’t have to pay anything again till I need to renew.
If I wanted to take private lessons those could be costly. Usually around $100+ per lesson, or you can learn from your parents or family, as long as they have been a licensed driver for more than 5 years.
If your 18+ you don’t get a permit, just have to pass the tests to get a full license (written and road test), the tests are fairly difficult. The written part is the hardest and you actually need to have studied or paid attention in drivers Ed. The hardest part of the road test was the 3 point turn (where I live we didn’t have to parallel park for the license)
I love your energy! Videos are getting better and better!
Hot dog likely comes from the long thin body shape of dachshund dogs (aka wiener dogs), since both hot dogs and dachshunds are German.
I see! Very interesting! Even though it's long, why call it "dog"? Maybe it was a cool joke to say it!
And the anti-German hysteria in America during WWI saw some pretty stupid names replace Germanic ones, especially for foods...
Most of the stupid names vanished but a few of the less stupid ones stuck.
Oh!! I didn't know America had hysteria about Germany!! Thank you for history lesson!
There had been also many claims that sausages actually contained dog meat in Germany from the 18th to 20th hundreds. Especially in some German regions which might have led to the name.
@@MrsEats German is the largest ancestry group among european american immigrants. The German American Club in my city has weiner dog races every Oktoberfest. It's cute and hysterical.
High tension in this usage is referring to high tension wires. Those are any electrical wire/cable carrying a high voltage current.
We call tissues Kleenex because it is one of th original brands. Kind of like Hotchkiss
Oh! Yes we have this brand Kleenex in Japan but if you call tissue this name, nobody will understand!
Its similar to how Americans call flying disc toys Frisbee, or call ice pops Popsicle.
And cotton tip applicators are Q-tips, bandages are Bandaids, etc.
Some English speaking places you have to distinguish between facial tissue and toilet tissue. Facial tissues shouldn't be flushed frequently they don't break down as readily as toilet tissue. They won't harm your plumbing, but they aren't good for the sewers or septic systems.
This kind of thing is responsible for a lot of the differences in words between different English dialects too, as often the first or dominant brand for something is different depending on country. Clingfilm is another thing that often has local names based on the main local brand.
I guess thats the same in every country. Here in Austria we call adhesive "Uhu" - because it is the most known brand that produces adhesives. This sometimes even confuses german people (almost same language - some different words), even though uhu actually is a german brand....
I take it going to Japan and asking for an "Atsui Inu" won't get me anywhere.
Driving license in the UK is about

Wow, Japan’s fees for licenses are very expensive. It costs about $45.00 for a permit and $70.00 for a driver's license in my state.
In germany, we pay around 2500 to 3000$ for a drivers license and it takes, aproximately 3 to 6 month
In Ohio it's around $30 and has to be renewed every 4 years. I wonder if the Japanese one is so expensive because it doesn't expire?

I'm surprised about the driver's license ID and the fee to pay to get one. That is crazy! Although the good side about it, is that it should keep more cars off the road in some way. Always best to use public transport anyways, especially since Japan's transportation is one of the best in the world, it shouldn't be much of a problem getting from point A, to point B. By the way, the application fee for a driver's license in my country only costs 2 US dollars, and 5+ US dollars for the professional/non-pro fees.
"Japan's transportation is one of the best in the world" unless you are a woman, in which case it can be the most dangerous in the world *(chikan)...for some women, a DL is not a privilege like for a man, it is purchasing safety. That is true in America as well as other parts of the world.
A provisional (no driving permit) licence in the UK costs £34 and a lot of people use it as an ID, as we don't really have any alternative other than passports. This was due to ID cards failing to be popularised in the early 2000s.
Maybe you should have tried scanning his head with the bar code reader.
You make very interesting and funny videos.

Apparently “hot dog” came from people in America believing that wieners actually contained dog meat. Another theory says that the German food resembled the Dachshund dog because they were long and thin, so people just started calling them hot dogs. Weird 😹
it's the german theory.
In Germany messenger bags are sometimes called "body bags"
And poison is "gift"
$3000 🤯 In the Uk it's around $100. I think hotdog came from the fact that it looks like a dachshund/sausage dog 🌭 Great video as always!
Where I live in the U.S., a driver's license costs $32 for 8 years
I am not sure, but I think part of the money is also used for driving lessons at a school too. I could be wrong and going by Aggretsuko.
$3000 actually starts counting from the day you submitted the documents, started learning driving and the written test, practiced, and until you get the license. There is a thing in Japan that you pay an amount of money and they provide you unlimited practice time until you pass (usually from driving schools).
If you say how much does it cost to "issue" a licence that would be around 2000 yen (~$20)
Car license cost 30-40 dollars in USA depending on state and if you opt for a State Park pass.
Licenses in Germany are pretty expensive as well. And, honestly, I believe it makes people take driving much more seriously. You pay attention to what you learn. You study. Failing means having to pay more, because you have to go and start again.
In the US, you get the license pretty much thrown at you, and... people drive like it, too. xD
How much lol you explain all that but no price 🤣🤣🤣
You should copy and paste this comment all over the net .
You would save thousands of lives
@@bockskarr6626 I am OLD and did my license in the early 2000s, so... I have no idea about the current prices, except that they will have gone up.
I didn't fail anything, but with the first aid course (mandatory for us to get the license), the mandatory theoretical, the mandatory practical hours, the fees for the test, and about 20 additional hours because I felt unsure about night driving, I ended up just shy of 2000$.
In Austria the drivers license is about 1800€ - 2500€, depending on your skill and the needed amount of extra driving lessons. (you have a set amount to do, but you might have to extend that amount) for Category B (which means Cars up to 3.5 tons weight, no motorbikes), if you want A+B (Motorbikes and Cars) you will have to add an additional 700€-1200€

Hehe fun how he went to Denmark to eat a Swedish style buffet (as Smörgårsbord is a Swedish word) but we all were known for our Vikings.
Americans should have done something similar to adapt the word - because none of them really know what "smorgasbord" means anyway.
Smorgesbord (Swedish: Smörgåsbord), in Danish is called "Det kolde bord" which translate to "The cold table".
Though there's also warm/hot food on the buffet table as well.
Usually done for holidays in Denmark, such as Christmas, new years and Easter.
I always generally heard that hot dogs are called hot dogs because they look like wiener(long and small) dogs from most people. I was also told something about how like Europeans immigrants who brought hot dogs/sausages were joking that they were made of dogs to mess with Americans but, that's just an old story i heard when i was little, from my granddad. I could be remembering the story wrong. All i know for sure is that there's a connection to dogs.

Now I know why stapler has such a weird name!
In Australia , it is becoming more and more expensive to get your driver's lisence. We need to do 75 hours of driving ( 25 hours at nighttime), and if you don't have anyone to teach you , it can cost $100 an hour (or more). But before you learn to drive , you need to book your learners test online , and it's $34 before you sit the test. And if you fail the first time, every time you do the exam, it costs another $34. And if you pass the exam, it costs about $68 to get your learners permit. And if you don't have a parent to buy a car for you, you need to do that as well. But many people still try and get a lisence because public transport here is quite bad.... So Japan is so much better in that way.
I payed about 2500 Euros over 10 years ago for mine in Sweden. Seems like you got a raw deal down under as well when it comes to the license costs.
I really enjoy the stories!!
OK there’s two most likely reasons four how the hot dog got its name
First the Germans called frankfurters Dachshund sausages because because they were long and skinny like dachshunds are
Frankfurters being the type of sausage most commonly used in hot dogs
The other is that college students referred to them as hot dogs because they didn’t know what meat was in the sausage and since it was such low quality they just called dog to make fun of it
Getting a drivers license in my area of Canada for a regular driver is $80 Canadian. The most expensive driving license, used for driving Tractor Trailers (18 Wheelers) is only $105 Canadian. This is only the license fees though, none of the training or courses that are recommended for each class or level of license.
Why are, "hot dogs" called this? They were called Dachshund Sausages and were sold "red hot". So we call it hot dogs
A lot of these are actually quite clever. Bar code is pretty savage I will adopt that one from now on. Paper driver also good. I know when I was in China a lot of people had that too with similar expenses. I talked to a few people and they said for the most part it is so they can rent a car when they go on vacation. Kitchen drinker is a good one too I need more of these to enrich my vocabulary.
Holy cow I know Hochikisu. My grandmother used to say that so for the longest time I used to cal staplers Hochikisu hahaha
What is so funny is Gachinko sound. Because I actually used to think Hochikisu must be the sound that stapler sounds like to my grandmother.
