As an American living in London I love noticing the funny differences between the cultures and one of my most popular video series is my British VS American one. I'm also known for making terrible puns so sorry in advance. Hope to see you around, and I'll see you next Sunday! :)

I recently visited my favourite Mexican restaurant in the UK and there was an American tourist in there screaming at the staff "DON'T YOU KNOW THIS ISN'T REAL MEXICAN FOOD, I CAN GET MUCH BETTER STUFF BACK HOME". Like, who would have thought it was easier to find authentic Mexican food in a country that borders Mexico, rather than a small island nation thousands of miles away!? This is when I realised that the stereotype is real

The classic North American mistake is to start with, "I'm going for my first two week holiday to Europe, and I will visit London, Dublin, Amsterdam, Paris, Barcelona, Rome, Vienna, Zurich, Berlin, Prague and Budapest." And then they see nothing of the cities they visit except the airport and the railway station.

Saying Bonjour before you ask for anything in France is a real pro-tip!! It's considered very rude not to do it, and you're starting every conversation on the wrong foot. Random people can and will ignore you, service people are forced to keep interacting but will resent you for it. Just say bonjour. It does not matter that you, personally don't feel it's a big deal, that does nothing for the widespread social expectation. If someone says bonjour to you pointedly, it's because you fucked up and didn't say bonjour; you should apologize and say bonjour.

You recommend American Express to use in the UK, but as someone who has worked in quite a few retailers in the UK, I'd stick with Visa or Mastercard because lots of places do not accept Amex due to the fees you have to pay them to have their cards used in your shop

I assume this is made for an American audience because there is nothing more infuriating to many of us than describing Europe as a country. The diversity of culture, language, history, food, attitudesā¦ā¦ across the 44 countries in the continent of Europe is immense. The delights and experiences of travelling to Poland, Switzerland, Sweden, Romania, Greece, Lithuaniaā¦ā¦..etc.etc. are all very different as any true traveller will delight in.

Omg the memorial thing. There is one square in KrakĆ³w, Poland with a Holocaust memorial in the former ghetto area and it has chairs scattered around. Too many people climb up on those and mess around without knowing what it is. Another time in Warsaw I have seen people taking selfies or dumb pictures with the Warsaw Uprising monument. Like I know it looks cool and epic but telling your child to go up to it and stand in a way so the gun of the figure points at them is NOT funny. I won't even talk about the outrageous things people do in Auschwitz sometimes cause I have no patience left for it. š Common sense seems to not exist nowadays.

Avoid viewing Europe as a country!

From my experience, having no cash on hand is risky. So I always go to an ATM to get the equivalent of 30-50ā¬, just in case. It saved me from a card terminal in a bar that just stopped working and too many other situations.

Little correction to the first one: No Uber in Germany. Over here you actually need professional training to commercially transport people so Uber never became a thing here.
Also in Germany all restaurants are required by law to have the menu with prices posted outside so there's no surprise in how high the bill is.

Some extra tips
-Really understand the region you're going to. Belgium and Switzerland are both home to multiple languages, so your Bonjour may not be as appreciated in Zurich or Bruges as in Brussels or Geneva.
-sometimes a great way to explore a city is to wander around and find the everyday beauty inside the city rather than just looking for the sights, but do turn around if you feel even slightly unsafe.

Germany got a lot better about accepting cashless transactions everywhere, thanks to the pandemic.Ā Turns out that the shops were perfectly willing to implement this ā it was just the banks charging them extortionate fees, not just for the service, but per transaction on top of that. That's why, before Covid, even the shops that did have electronic payment, only allowed it above a certain sum, because below that, the bank fees would result in a net loss on the sale.

The only thing I'll say about not carrying a wallet or similar is that if something happens to your phone then you're totally screwed for not just contacting someone for help but also now have no way to pay for anything... this is especially true if you're travelling alone.

French teachers use Emily in Paris as an example of what not to do. They are very big on social greetings and take it as a sign of respect. The English don't care so much, but it's worth checking your ground with older people. Particularly if you're American, a bit of old fashioned politeness can go a long way, just don't tell people to "have a nice day!"

Danish citizen here. This video is really good! There are lots of good advice regarding travelling in Europe especially: "Do your research at home" and "There are plenty of cultures in Europe, what is polite in one country is frowned upon in another country." Good job Evan! ^^

I encountered a tourist once who was trying to find a famous bridge. There was one small problem however; they thought they were in a completely different country. They were so sure of themselves too. It was kinda funny but sad too.
(For context you can take these international boat trips along major rivers and I guess they got confused about where they were)

Oh yes, bonjour is mandatory in France, regardless of the situation. Merci also is. It's considered extremely rude not to do so.

āThe Pusherā is a reference to the Yogscast where people joked about Lewis (one of the founders) being unhinged as would tend to get in videos and spiralled off into a whole narrative about him being a serial killer who pushes people into the Bristol canals.
I believe there were also some incidents where people had fallen in the canals irl which is probably also where the joke originated from.

One thing to add to the public transport thing: check for accessibility if that's a problem for you. I was mostly okay with the london underground (enough escalators and elevators), but the paris metro... stairs, stairs, and stairs forever. We had to get an uber because I couldn't lift my legs anymore

With regard to the American chain fast food: I do think itās fun to try regional offerings on the menu. When me and my friend (Dutch) were traveling through Eastern Europe when we were in college we tried quite a few burgers or whatever that were not on the Dutch McDonalds menu

Americans - avoid thinking "Europe" is a place. You're visiting France, Germany, the UK. The idea that "Europe" is one homogenous blob will cause you some issues!
