Top Comments of this video!! :3
As a NYC resident, I visited Iceland in 1981 in late November (cheap flight). My memories are my Alafoss wool jacket, freezing all night in Hofn, and stopping all traffic in front of the Parliament because I was standing on the corner and drivers did not know which street I would cross. I was just taking pictures until someone asked which way. 😂

We started using separate comforters a long time ago due to medical needs. It was a game changer! It's one of the best things we did as a couple. No more fighting for blankets or one pushing the covers off while the other is pulling them up. I actually give that as my "marriage wisdom" comment for weddings. lol

My family has always removed shoes when entering the house. It probably comes from the type of work that was done outside the home. It's a habit I grew up practicing and I still practice it today. Most of the people I know consider it to be good manners to remove your shoes when entering someone's home.

I have a ranch style house with big porches. In the late spring, summer and early fall we spend a lot of time outside hanging out or doing things in my stand alone 2 car garage with shop. Americans who don't live in the city want privacy and freedom. I am from Germany and there are all these considerations you have to make living with neighbors all around you. I can play music, watch movies at midnite with surround sound and do things without everyone knowing my business or being on the other side of a wall.

Everything described here is similar to the area around Stuttgart, Germany, where I lived in ‘92 and ‘93. I have to confess, I never got used to the aesthetic of Northern Europe. Except for the restored historic town centers, everything looked to me like a warehouse district or housing project. Combined with the perpetually overcast skies, I found it to be terribly depressing. I was so happy and relieved to get back to the ‘big skies,’ the lush greenery and wide open spaces of southwest Idaho.

I think most homes in Iceland are made from concrete and steel because they have no timber resources. Japan has a lot of earthquakes. They also get typhoons. They also have a lot of timber. Their wooden temples and homes have withstood earthquakes and hurricane winds for centuries. Wood is supposedly superior to reinforced concrete for earthquakes as it bends and sways with the shocks.

A lot of what you described is similar in Japan. The washer and dryer are usually the same thing. Most people in Japan hang their laundry outside to take advantage of Mother Nature. In the winter, we use the heater, so we use the heat to dry the laundry indoors. There are other things you described that are similar in Japan. I'm an American, who has been living in Japan for almost 20 years. Thanks for your video.

The reason they don’t have a lot of carpet is due to one of your differences—they heat their floors not the air. Putting carpet over heated floors would make the heated floors less effective at heating the home.
