Hi everyone, this is Elena and I spoke about my impressions as a German person. ☺️
I really hope you have fun while watching this video and please keep in mind that maybe not all Germans think like me! 😆
Still, we had lots of fun comparing our experiences so I hope you do, too. 😊
Du bisht sehr nett😊.
If you want to reply, please don't reply me in German. I have just started learning about your mothertounge and so I am still elementary and make some broken lines😅. Danke😊
Hey Elena, I really have fun while watching this video. Thanks for teliing us your impressions🙏🏻
Whatever, you're certainly a wonderful ambassador for your country! The impression you give of Germans is a nice, warm, humorous people! xD
*Also, noticed in your video that you're a huge fan of Mass Effect. So you also have the most excellent taste in video games!
Hey Elena, I really love your shirt on this video. You give nice vibes, I really enjoyed the video. Grüße aus Griechenland, greetings and love from Greece🇬🇷❤️
Hallo Elena, ich habe eine ganze andere Erfahrung gemacht. In meinem Umfeld sind Umarmungen zur Begrüßung sehr gängig und Wangenküsschen ebenso. Allerdings kann es auch damit zusammenhängen, dass ich seit 20 Jahren in Berlin lebe und da vielleicht alles etwas offener ist.
Marina isn't just french shes a such a Parisian cliché
@@PetitSucreBlau Haven't seen anything vulgar from her. She seems unapologetically blunt at worst, which I guess is not everyone's thing. The only controversial thing here from a French perspective is her not doing the whole kissing on the cheek thing. Being a Frenchman myself, I dislike that tradition so I understand her but I generally feel obliged to do it to not appear rude though. She apparently doesn't, neither does she care. That is the only thing out of the social norms here lmao. I didn't see any sort of arrogance/condescension towards the other girls or any attention-seeking behavior however, so quite curious about what you're talking about.
@@Itachi951000 isnt about kiss or not kiss, is about to have empathy, and the french girl is an anvil.
@@freddycv1174 If it is not about the kiss then what is it? I've watched this video and the other one (the one with the hilarious miscommunication about the weird finger stuff the Spanish girl wanted to do). What exactly points to a lack of empathy? This might actually explain why people think the French are rude or mean because being French myself I have a hard time understanding beyond her not being willing to follow the kissing tradition (which would indeed be seen badly in France) what exactly makes her look bad in the video. She is a bit less enthusiastic than the other girls but that's just the way the French are with strangers. We don't act super friendly with people we don't know and just barely met (which I guess was the case here) because....... we are not friends, duh (or friends yet). Being overly friendly to people you don't know is seen as either weird or fake in France. I know from personal experience that Americans or Spaniards for example are much more open and act much friendlier to complete strangers, so may find the French approach "cold". Cultural differences and all that I guess.
@@PetitSucreBlau I agree at 100% with you ! This girl is freaking rude and no we, the French, are not all like her !!
@@PetitSucreBlau I agree 100%. I don't get the hype for rude behaviour nowadays. It's not "a mood", it's just plain out rude and embarrassing.

The girl from Barcelona: the AC is not that common in Spain.

I think Andalusia is quite different from the rest...
In the south of Spain it is a real need to have AC to survive. Summers are critical. I am from Extremadura and we also need it in the summer.
@@celiagomezm6084 a lot of places need it in the summer without the AC being a normal thing...for example Italy and France have very hot summers too ( in some places) but AC is not the norm
So true, I'm from Seville and it's literally impossible to live here without AC. In summer 40°C is a normal temperature and some times even more, so in summer if you don't have it ...

Spain is have a very friendly citizens. Really, you can talk to a random person there and they talk to you like if they know you and you two are best friends. I like how everyone there is so friendly but also super respectfull!!!
yessss, and you won't get that in Germany nor Austria even if you live there for ages. I am studying in Austria and I've been really friendly, trying to make friends with the locals, but it didn't work out. They looked at me as if I was some weirdo like: "eww you don't get to be thaaat friendly in Austria, back up."
I haven't been to Spain yet, but I've met a lot of Spanish people, and God they are the BEST!! You just laugh all the time, positive vibes only!! Austrians if you get to read this comment, leave an advice how should I be friends with you guys :)
Really? I mean, compared to northern Europeans, yes, they are a bit friendlier but for us Latin Americans, who are much more sympathetic, warm-hearted and joyful, we still see Spaniards as cold people lol I’ve been to Spain before, to Madrid and Barcelona and from what I’ve seen, the Spaniards are very serious like they don't smile and they look they are in a bad mood lol I also noticed that they are brutally honest to you. I felt like everyone hated me 😂. The only ones who are joyful and warm-hearted in Spain, were the Latin Americans that live there, because there’s a lot of them, especially in Madrid

It’s funny because la bise is so deep in French society that it’s a reflex to do it when you see friends or family members, like I will see my male friend that I haven’t seen for a long time but I will still hug him and kiss both his cheeks and the funniest thing is that I have social anxiety and don’t really like to be physically close with people but I will still do it bc it’s in my DNA at this point 😂 even my guitar teacher who isn’t my “friend”, I’ll still greet him with la bise bc it’s a polite hello for us 🤷🏻♀️ (also the fact that the number of kisses depend of the region stress me out when I visit people)
I'm french I don't do that-
Maybe cause I'm not like a good person-
No
Idk
Well aaa
Trying about thinking before covid
Oh yes I was doing that but you're right it was like a reflex
A reflex that I forgot-
But I only do that with my family
covid ended that and I'm glad cause it was really annoying
Yeah Covid kind of murdered that trend and that's one of the only good thing to come out of Covid. I still kiss my employer on the cheek every day cause my employer is my mom but that's it.
It is easier for the socially awkward if you make the first move.
Well...I think that Claudia has clearly never been in the south of Spain in the summer. I invite her to come to Córdoba or Sevilla in july or august and maybe she will change her mind about the necessity of having an air conditioning system in a spanish home 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

She doesnt connect with anything or anyone...its so self centeref and out of place. I have a difficult time with people applauding to her behavour...ots like worshiping evil or being a girl who likes men that treats them bad...it is a real issue. No morals
@@PetitSucreBlau I agree with the last part of your comment, people who praise bad behavior like something great is really something irritating and not to do but to look again at marina's behavior I didn't feel what you felt about her when I listened to her so that's why I wrote that comment but again if this is how you feel it's okay I just think people calling her stupid or horrible names are too much.
I'm like Marina with the kisses but the funniest thing is that I'm Spanish. Of course, not everyone, but so many people look at you in a bad way if you don't want to kiss them (before covid-19, obviously).
Sip después de la pandemia fue raro, sobre todo cuando tienes mascarilla y el primer impulso que tienes al ver a un conocido es darle dos besos, pero después te das cuenta de que no y se hace algo incómodo jajajaja
Exactly. I'm not from Spain but I am hispanic myself and people look at me like I'm a monster for not hugging them. Like, give me some space please lol.
I'm from Andalusia, Southern Spain, and here the 90% of people has air conditioner. It gets super super hot in summer!
I'm from Madrid and being without air conditioning during the summer is dying of heat.
@@ronsomrb6351
In Asturias almost nobody. Heating yes, almost all of them.
Can't get how the Spanish girl says that about AC. Living in Spain without it is almost impossible on the majority of regions here. I'm from Seville and we have it and all the houses I've been here and in other sites of Andalusia, Madrid etc have it and uses it a lot. The heat here is unbearable! (And that's the problem now, because of electrical taxes on summer are way too expensive...)
Maybe in Catalonia is not like that, or Galicia, Basque Country... But most of Spain need air conditioner!!!

@@blancas-c3251 totally true. Even in North of Spain due to climate change we start to need air conditioning more than ever. My feathers live in La Mancha and they have ac in all the house, it's impossible survive the summer without it

In South Spain air conditioning is essential. Every home has it. I would die without air conditioning!!! Climate in Spain is completely different from South to North.
Yo soy de Andalucía y también iba aponer eso. En mi instituto de hecho tenemos aire acondicionado aunque no solemos ponerlos
Aquí en Valencia no es tan habitual tener aire acondicionado y en los centros escolares menos... De hecho tuvimos que comprar ventiladores las familias para que no se desmayaran más alumnos por el calor... Mi familia de Jaén sí tienen todos aire acondicionado, pero los de Córdoba sólo ventilador, será por su economía...
En barcelona la gente que yo conozco la mayoria por no decirte todos tiene aire porque por el dia hace mucha humedad. Por la noche puedes pasar solo con ventilador. Yo no se donde debe de vivir esta chica. Puede que viva en las montañas y alli si que no hace falta.
@@marymarin8516 ya digo que la economía de cada familia y la zona exacta donde vivan hace mucho... Yo ahora tengo aire acondicionado porque los anteriores dueños lo dejaron. En el piso que viví antes no tenía y sólo usaba ventilador. Y aquí la humedad también es brutal... Pero la economía no me daba para comprar e instalar el aparato ni para pagar las facturas de electricidad al usarlo 😅

In Greece:
• The cheek kissing thing is like in Spain. Certainly in family events.
• Public toilets are free, but often nasty
• Paid leave is not as much as in other European countries, although still better than what I've heard it's like in America. There is decent maternity leave, and public servants (from soldiers to garbage cleaners) can sometimes even take a full year off as paid maternity or paternity leave. In the private sector it's a totally different story, though. We also have about 20 days as public holidays, where most people don't have to work.
• Air conditioning is everywhere... Except in schools. Some people also use it as a source of heating in the winter. The 40 degrees the British girl mentioned are an every summer thing here, so...
The kissing though isn't true outside of the family. It's not common to just kiss someone you meet or a friend. At least between men
This is so cool, also it's so funny to see Marina wanting to not seem french, and kinda stay away from french stereotypes, and she tries to be all cool, but she's like the biggest french stereotype ever lol . She's amazing 😆

Even within France, the cheek-kiss thing differs depending on region or the origins of the person/family ... in some places it's one, others it's two (one on each cheek), and others go up to 3 or even 4...

The kiss on the cheek as a greeting is the most impactful and wonderful thing I remember from visiting Spain and Italy. It shocked me at first, but after the initial surprise it gave such a lovely welcoming feeling and really gave a sense of closeness to everyone I met in my travels! I am not a very shy person normally, but even so I found that I made friends and felt connected to people so quickly compared to the US, and it is something that really stuck with me. I still do it with my close friends at home today actually, though I would never attempt with a stranger because I would get weird looks and probably slapped on occasion haha.
I also couldn't imagine living without AC, but that is because it can get close to 50 degrees Celsius in the summer where I live.
Le "j'ai trop la flemme" il m'a achevé 😂
On the kiss cheeks for the french, I disagree with marina, It's still very popular today among young people too. All the women I know kiss cheeks even if it's only friends. We only hand shakes when it's professional. It's easy to see that she was not in France for a long time.
The german girl was wrong too. In Germany women kiss cheeks for example when they meet eachother in the City to go shopping, go to a Restaurant or they just met a some close ones outside. Even in school they cheek kiss their bestfriends. Hand shakes are only for professionals.
Marina: not that many kisses anymore
The French people I know: LET'S DO THREE KISSES
Je suis née en France et pourtant je pense qu'elle a raison, mais comme tout le monde le sait ça dépend de l'endroit où on vit en France

I was so confused when the German girl said that you have to pay for the bathroom even in restautants, bars etc
I'm also from Germany and where I live that's not at all the case. Where I live, you have to pay in, like, petrol stations, train stations and so on, but never in restaurants or bars. In malls, you only have to pay sometimes, but most of the times you can just voluntarily leave a tip for the cleaning staff and that's it
At least from my experience lol
Often restaurants and bars say you can only go if you also buy something.
In France, we cant open the windows in school, when we asked why the teachers responded "because the students will jump out". Some windows in my middle school even had bars on them

This was great to watch from an American perspective, especially after experiencing some of the things they talked about for Spain and the UK.
I am from China and now living in Australia. I have to say it's impossible for me to survive without the air conditioning😂. Both places are very hot and humid during summer. Especially in the south part of China, can you imagine there will be over 100 days every year that the highest temperature is over 35°C and 90%+ humidity😆?
There are definitely urinals in the street in Paris. The UK woman had a wild pronunciation of urinal though.

But, luckily, we're not doing it anymore, or at least not in my close circle and I'm kinda hoping that we loose this custom with the pandemic lol.
Also, I don't know if it's "a thing" that if you actually kiss the other person's cheek instead of "faking" the kiss it means you like that person... if it is... I must have confused so many people because when I greet someone with two kisses I kiss for real, I do not fake it lol

In Spain we need AC for sure, in Madrid in summer it is like 40 C and Sevilla or cordoba 45 C
One of the important reasons that makes me love my country -Iran- is that A/C is so common and cheap so ALL houses and public places have it. Also there are about 30 days a year for legal holidays except weekend! 😄
I think the spanish girl was not very accurate about the A/C, in the northern parts people just don't need it, but if you'd ask someone from Sevilla, maybe they would think otherwise since the temperature is usually higher

Hi!! I live in Andalusia, in the south of Spain, and here summers are scorching. That's why we all have air conditioning in our houses. If you ever come here, you will see they are everywhere you go, houses, hotel rooms, shops, restaurants, literally everywhere. But in the north of Spain the weather isn't that hot, and they don't usually have it.
And it's true, electricity is so expensive. We avoid to turn on the A/C, but sometimes the weather is so hot, you can't imagine how much. And we need to turn it on, or use a fan instead if it is not so much hot.
Best wishes to you all!!!
LOL, I remember in France all these teens greeting each other. They all did the cheek kiss like 4 times (2 per cheek). I was laughing to myself as it took so long for them to just greet each other. I'll admit it was kind of nice, though. 😗

It's not true that, in Spain, not greeting someone with cheek kisses is rude. The problem is some people are rude and try to impose it on others, so they may feel uncomfortable if you back away. Etiquette says that kissing is only acceptable with family, friends and people who are introduced to you by friends or family in an appropriate manner. Men don't kiss each other unless they're very close, and it is extremely rude for a man to take the lead in kissing a woman; it must be the woman who decides whether to kiss or shake hands. Women usually kiss each other and it's not particularly rude to do so even if the two are not formally acquainted, but it's inappropriate in professional relationships.
So, if you're a woman, you come to Spain, a man wants to greet you with kisses and you feel uncomfortable, back away! You're not being rude, they are!
Exaclty the same in France !
I don't like to give kisses to men I don't know so I never do it and nobody has a problem with it. I don't think it's rude, it's just setting boundaries and a lot of Spanish women do this very clearly so as I said nobody tells us anything haha
And people don't kiss nor touch cheeks, there are space between the faces, it's only the gesture. Only close people can touch cheeks if they want
Well, as a man if I don't take the lead in kissing then I don't get a kiss.

its true for everywhere, if there are 20ppl you dont necessarily kiss every one
lol and pairs is still france
I'm French and I think it's very rude when some people don't do "la bise" (kiss cheek ?) to old people, or "ugly" people, or black skin people or fat people because they think they are "dirty". It's just a lack of respect and education in my opinion, because the person will feel sad and rejected. When it's at school I think it's bullying when you say hello with la bise to everybody but not the ugly/black/fat student. In French culture your cheeks never touch other people cheek we litteraly kiss the air so what the matter? It's not dirty at all it's air ! Marina is an exeption because I like her, she seem nice and I think it's her style/mood ^^ but for other people I think it's rude.
Tu es français tu es vraiment douée en anglais apparemment 😅💖💖
It's also considered rude in Latin America (where I live) not to kiss others... but at least for me, I've always disliked such tradition. In fact, I love that now due to the pandemic almost no one kisses one another cheek anymore.
Yeah I don't see Marina really like a representation of the typical white French girl (and I stayed in Paris, Bordeaux, Lilles, Marseille etc etc) that this video needs.
She seems more like a cold, bitchy mixed-race millenial parisean suburbean or something... 🤷🏻♂️ Which is different from the typical warm and friendly French people i used to know.
(No disrespect or racism.... Just my observation. I'm not caucasian myself... Lol.... And she's *Hot* too.... 🤪)
@@BLACKPINKEDITTV Hé on ne se moque pas je suis née dans les année 90 à mon époque l'anglais ça ne servais à rien ! Internet n'existais même pas et oui on faisait la bise à tout le monde. XD si j'avais su qu'on en aurait besoin un jour pour se prendre la tête avec des inconnus qui vivent à l'autre bout du monde j'aurais mieux écouté en classe.
My experience in France is that, in a professional setting, maybe it's ok not to kiss on the cheek... But in an informal setting, not kissing on the cheek is definitely seen as "antisocial"...
I’m from Spain and she was right, everyone thinks Spain weather is really hot but that’s only in summer, we have really cold winters and A/C is not really useful for only using it 2 months
You do know that most modern A/C have the heat function as well and can be used as a radiator during cold days too? Like in Japan, they dont have central heating or radiators, so they use the A/C to keep the room warm. In older houses where they dont have A/Cs they use a electric heater that is moved to the room where they are staying at the moment.
@@RomanCzifery In Spain we have radiators installed in all rooms, but not A/C
Hi. I'm from Valencia, eastern Spain. We in any apartment in which we've lived had a radiator. But my family in Madrid did. Maybe it depends on the region or the family finances... But, here in Valencia, all my relatives have air conditioning, even if it's for the super heat of the summer (1-2 weeks) and for the harshest cold (3 days a year hahaha) in winter we use the air conditioning' heat. ☺️
@@escfuego con todo respeto eso serás tú, porque donde yo vivo tenemos aire acondicionado en todas las habitaciones porque el calor es intensisimo y esos tres meses que dices tú si no lo tienes es que literalmente mueres. Las noches pueden no bajar de 24 grados durante dias en verano

About taking time off work in Spain, it depends what job you have and what area you live in. I only got a week of vacation a year and because I pestered the boss about it. If you get ill, you usually get looked at as unreliable if it's more than a day or two, and in some cases even get fired. Again, depends what job you got and the area. Now I live in Germany and I get around 30 days a year off, and if I'm sick I just need an AU (doc's paper stating you're sick and for how long) and that's it.
I've honestly not been anywhere in London where you have to pay £1 to use the toilet, let alone £2. They've scrapped charges at all stations now. Many London stations like Saint Pancras and Victoria it's been free for a long time, but where they did charge, like London-Waterloo it was 50p, not £2!
Oh, and those revolting street toilets are barely a thing anymore, at least in London and the part of the country I come from xD
The girl who speaks for the UK probably hasn't been back there in a long time I guess.
Yh, I think it's because she is from the north and things are really different up there compared to London. I've only ever seen one toilet charge and that as for 20p in London 7 years ago, haven't seen one since. In France they are very common though.
@@gracialutonadio342 not specifically its only in big stations and not 100% . In malls and open air public ones are free
We do have A/C in some trains, subways, buses, shops, schools in France x') and fans at home. We don't have as many as Korea but we do have some haha
I'm Portuguese and I don't use air conditioning. Many people do and public places too, but I'm used to old school ways of cooling down. x) We paint our houses white and close everything down when the sun starts rising at around 10 a.m. until late at night. Then we can seat outside with our neighboors and stay up late. That's why we eat late as well (at center south of the country and some of the Spanish do too).
it makes me laugh in germany when it says, very hot 35 degrees is like please a summer like this in andalucia in which the maximum is 35 degrees, because it can reach 50 degrees, without even being able to leave the house without having a frozen bottle of water.
we have the kissing thing in austria too, (at least in the east) and its also considered rude when you dont kiss them ... covid put an end to this, im not mad ^^
The people of Mountain Germany have always been warmer for some reason. Perhaps from Catholic and Latin influence.
Marina qui s'emporte et qui reparle français "mais j'ai trop la flemme en fait .." x)
i'm from barcelona too but I think that the air condicionate is common depending on the zones of spain. For example here, in barcelona, it's not that hot so we can mostly survive with an open window. But if you live in Sevilla or any part of southern Spain. you will need and air condicionate for sure because in summer it's very very hot
I still have the whole video to watch, but I just wanted to say something about the "kiss cheek". I find it really interesting how the spanish is really similar to what we do in Brazil. We also just touch cheek to cheek and make the kiss sound with our lips. And it's also true, if someone actually kiss your cheek, it's seen as a way of flerting.
Fun Fact: The "amount" of kissing is different depending on the region you go in Brazil. For example, I'm from São Paulo, and here we only do it once. But, if you go to Rio, they do it twice, one with each cheek.
Sim kkkkkk
Aq na Bahia damos dois beijos, mas eu sou tímido demais e já passei por algumas situações engraçadas. Se tiver que beijar eu beijo, ok, mas prefiro um abraço rápido. Eu só fico meio que com um pé atrás quando a mulher é casada por exemplo, sei lá, deve ser coisa da minha cabeça lkkkkkk. Com a Covid já desenvolvermos um jeito novo de cumprimentar o outro que é encostando as mãos em forma de murro xD
Mmmm I am from Barcelona and I do use air conditioner but I don't know I guess it depends from which part of Spain you are and how you feel the "weather". But she is right electricity is expensive in Spain thats why we tend to try to not use it jajaja
And the prices are going higher 👀🙃
I am from the very south west of Germany, close to France, and the kisses on the cheeks are extremely popular here. Like with relatives, acquaintance close work colleagues at parties etc it's almost expected. And I HATE it. For me a hug for friends/family and a handshake with others would be the best solution
I am Brittas boyfriend and 56 years now. As a conservative rural man, i don' t like ,modernlings' nonsens.
I live 30 km away from Freiburg. But nobody kisses you on the cheek here. I'm glad though. 😄
A hug for family sounds stupid as fck. But that's certainly because I'm french.
I don’t understand when someone said a hug is a better solution than a kiss. I don’t agree. When you hug someone you have to touch their body but when you « kiss » it’s actually a fake kiss and more cheek to cheek and we don’t touch other people body.
Hug? In brittany we do one Kiss. In the past had no Kiss. Probably with covid that can disapear
In Singapore. It’s a country with typical tropical climate so it gets super hot over there. So u can find A/C everywhere- train, shopping malls, bus, some schools, bus stations etc
Though some places does not have it.
Most houses have it too but not everyone uses it frequently.
Oh, in my city in Spain we all have air conditioning at home and schools... but unlike Barcelona here it's more dry the weather, and it feels like literally burning your skin sometimes.
We do *la bise* also in Algeria 🇩🇿, it’s a kiss between the cheeks
Yes we do but I hate it srtt the 4 one in aid or occasions🤦♀️
@@meriem8932 Why hating it ? it's glamorous.

@@Hldz8g9o Oh I see
That thumbnail of the British and German girls aghast as the French girls greet each other with a kiss made me smile aha. We coldblooded and frigid Germanic peoples will have none of that overly familiar stuff of the hotblooded and passionate Latins xD
Well the way I am seeing things, I think the ones who show they are coldblooded and very kind inside I guess. For eg. Germans, Russians. I think its a part of their hiding character to not appear vulnerable.
The younger generation of girls does it a lot but luckily you are not expected to do it.😂
It's funny because a lot of cheek kissing does happen in the UK, it's just incredibly complex and context-based on when you do do the cheek kiss lol.
True I've lived in both Spain and the UK and let me say British people are cold. But not in a rude way, that's just their culture.

I'm german and I know many germans greeting each other with kisses on the cheek, especially the younger generation.
I am from Eastern Europe and we slavic countries are similar more cold type of people kinda not that into the kiss cheek thing unless we are very close like family or close friends tho indeed younger generations do it more often. I also thought we were also more open but turns out not. You might think you do it as often as pll in Spain and France do but trust me they are on another level...Had huge culture shock when a family I met for the first time in Spain(they know my family but we met for the first time)all lined up to kiss me on the cheek and hug... XD Its way more shocking in real life how they go right in for it so confidently without even thinking about it lol only 1 person kinda recognized my confusion and asked if its okay. The amount of times I was kissed on the cheek in Spain in 1 month is more than the times I have been kissed on the cheek in my country my whole life.
I would not say "many germans" I am 22 so also more younger and I never saw anyone kiss eachother on the cheeks. We mostly hug or even just say "Hi" and go on. But I am from the north of germany and also was in the area of frankfurt a lot, so maybe it is different in your area.
I am part of the younger generation and I never saw anyone greeting each other like that.
@@dw3214 South Slavic people do greet other people with kisses.
@@dw3214 Eastern Europe cold people???
I remember as a child in the Netherlands we would get days off because it was over 30. I loved those days because we would often still go to school because they would organise all kinds of games with water and have ice cream. I don't know if all schools did this, but mine did.
Love this! From Wisconsin.
As a Mediterranean i think we r just use to it, thats why we do take break in the middle of the day, we shut everything,curtain,doors,windows everything is dark in our houses from 11:00 to 17:00 i remember when i worked in a shop we did not have any costumers untill late evening so we did close for 3 hours daily in summer and we just deal with the heat when its not summer. In 12 months we have like 3 months of cold weather than its all sunny days even if its still chilly for us. I remember german and dutch going to spain in may and they were all in shorts and flip flop!!! We were all still using winters jackets boots and heavy clothing😅 for me the sea is too cold in may even if we do swim in april the sea is cold but u still get warmed by the sun (only if that season is warm of course)
I'm from Seville (Southern Spain) and I always see Northern Europeans wearing summer clothes since February. And I'm like "wtf!?". It's literally winter and I'm wearing a coat 😂 But I mean, I guess 15-20°C is hot for them, while for me it's super cold xd
@@arianam9977 😅yep i did visit the Netherland at that time and god it was cold,windy and rainy, the sun was pale,i couldn't feel it warms. It still a verry beautiful country to visit❤
j'ai trop la flemme en fait, le résumé de ma vie ...
im from portugal and the electricity is even more expensive than spain... No AC for us either, you can go to the beach, go to the mall (they usually have ac) or just lie on the cold ground wearing the bare minimum (what i usually do). We also have terrible houses that get really cold during winter and really hot during summer. In schools we usually didn't open the windows bcs then the room would be hotter and sometimes bugs and flies would get in and annoy a bunch of melting people.
Also, little secret: most people think the only public bathrooms in portugal are paid but the locals know that those are just for turists. There are a lot of free bathrooms if you know where to look.
(Old) Houses in Alentejo have thicker walls. The rest of the country should go back to these simple and efficient old ways.
Relating to schools in Germany and when it's too hot outside: for example, in our school the thermometer kind of thing is in the basement. So basically, if it's like 30 something degrees (and yk everyone's really sweaty etc.), we still have to stay in school, because in the basement of course it's way cooler than in the actual classrooms and we all hate that as students T_T
Dont believe what the spanish girl say, air conditioning is just essential in Spain to carry on with summer
Yes, maybe she lives in the mountain xD
Thank you covid 19 for getting us rid of the cheek kiss 🤣🤣

8:59 I had a professor Mr, Weber. He taught us the toughest module in mechanical engineering "Maschinendynamik". It was a summer semester and on a hot sunny day the classroom was full with about seventy students, he just brought a thermometer, put it on his table, and said: if the temperature rises over 38°C, you can go home. Sadly, It didn´t... Malheureusement!
38 degrees? Wow ... he set the threshold quite high
@Karl with a K Seine Klausuren... richtig cool.
For the check Kiss in France it's rude to ignore someone but honestly if you just tell the person that your not confortable with it and you still say "bonjour" or/with a hand sign (wave handshake...) most people don't mind
I only do it with my close family and friends
We used to not have very hot days or just short periods (rarely) so no need to buy a A/C a good ice cream, cold water and a fan were enough to survive a few days but lately summer are getting worst every year I am actually thinking of buying an A/C 🥲
(I'm actually french but I'll use english so that everyone can read my comment)
The problem with A/C is its carbone print and how it feeds climate change, the very reason why summers are getting worse. I'd need some people to confirm it but I believe A/C expulses hot air outside the buildings, hence making the streets and overall town even hotter. To normalize it in Europe would be falling into a vicious circle so I hope we can find other solutions like vegetalizing the walls for exemple.
@@nanatruc3484 I'm an engineer and that's not how it works. People don't use Ac because it's expensive. But every factory and company has them at least in the south of Europe.

As a French person I absolutely love Marina, such a funny personality and I mostly stand behind everything she says. Such a typical French person omg we are well represented
Tho I've heard many times that sentence like "in France we work to live" or that belief that French people don't work hard or do long hours and that is absolutely wrong. Remember she never worked in France. For most jobs you get 2 weeks holidays per year, and yes, we do work long hours and have long weeks. And the minium wage is pretty bad. I don't actually France is better than other countries when it comes to work
French has a low gdp per capita and a high debt to gdp. You better work twice as hard for the actually high minimum wage you still got. Minimum wage France 10.25 euro's and the U.S. is 9,80 euro's. But double the gdp per capita in the U.S. My country the Netherlands has half the debt of both countries and 20000 euro's more gdp per capita than France and minimum wage for 40 hours is 9.42 euro's. So France minimum wage is actually very high for how poor the people are actually supposed to be. It should be arourd 5 euro's if you compare it.
When Marine LePen actually said she wanted to scrap income tax under 30 years old and shorten the age of pension by a few years. i almost fell from my chair and started laughing immediately. How on gods green earth are you gonna pay that in France!? I thought. Still people voted for her and her obvious lies. The fact is that France should really cutback. America too, but they've their own currency. France does not. We ain't printing money for France forever. France is one crisis away from being like Greece. Don't worry we will buy all your companies for cheap and take away ownership of your ports and airfields when that happens. And if France leave the EU their currency would be half of what it used to be. ya'll ain't doing so great over there compared to other EU countries. Taxes should go way up.
