When someone smiles at me in public I immediately have a mental crisis, not because I don't like the smile but because I think that person must know me but I don't recognize them. My mind starts filtering though every single memory trying to find that persons face somewhere and put a name to it

I want to say something about that talking to strangers topic at 5:40.
I grew up in a small town and moved to the city when I was about 27. And it was a shock for me. No one noticed what was happening around them.
When I moved back to my old little cute mini town I was so very happy. You go for a walk and random people that you've never seen before walk by and smile and everybody greets everyone.
So that "distance-problem", as I call it, is not an issue in smaller towns or villages. I think it's a problem in bigger cities. There are so many people, it's impossible to greet everyone.
In small towns it's considered normal to greet someone in the street and it's weird to not greet back when they say Hello.

Regarding the privacy thing. My take as a German is, we had two dictatorships in the past which tried to take away all privacy, now we have it and we want to keep it.

The traffic light thing is so funny. I'm German, but visiting my girlfriend in France I had to try really hard to unlearn waiting for the green light because I'd be the only fool still waiting at the side of the road while everyone else would just start walking the moment no car was close, no matter the colour of the traffic light.

I live in a small town in Germany and I say "hallo" and smile to everyone I meet.š Well, not in 'Downtown" where many people are, but in the calmer streets and in the forest. Most people answer, there are only few people who don't.

"also you will be very embarrassed in public" is the best deterrent I have ever heard

As an American I just wanted to comment on the small talk part! I know that other countries comment on how weāre āfakeā or ādonāt actually care about youā but thatās just not what itās about. We do it for the same reason you said you personally like it! Itās just a really nice feeling to be able to socialize and connect with other people even if itās only in a short window. It makes an otherwise ordinary day interesting and more memorable. I think if others were more open to it theyād find they actually enjoy how it feels to have a short conversation with a stranger too. I get the impression that people who arenāt used to this part of American culture probably get the same feeling from our small talk that we do if someoneās trying to sell us something unprecedented. But human beings are meant to connect with others and even small moments with a passing stranger just makes you feel good if you allow it to.

I'm from Czechia and most suprising thing to me is how similar it is to Germany š
I feel like almost everything applies to us as well š
Beer, public transport with confushing zones, quiet times at night... but i guess it makes sence, since our countries are neighbors š
Love the video ā¤

Would you consider making a video about what you should never do in Vietnam?
PS: very nice video š

You don't NEED a fridge. Before fridges were a thing in Germany, beers were simply kept cool in the cellar. Many old German houses have a cellar for storage because it keeps a constant low temperature all by itself. Beer cellars can still be found all across the country and are still in use. But I guess that this tradition doesn't exist in Vietnam.
My dad actually traveled to Vietnam on business and he said the way Vietnamese do it - at least where he was - is perfectly fine: small glass, big piece of ice in the glass. There's only space for 1-2 sips of beer in the glass. You pour over the ice and drink it immediately. Then you pour again. That way you mostly avoid your beer being watered down and you have a cold drink.

An addition to the bottle deposit: Not everyone wants to carry around the bottles or cans, put them next to a trash can, so homeless people can gather them for some money (and don't have to go through the trash can for the bottles)

I think "don't smile" part works only in cities, where it would be kinda hard to greet every person you meet lol. When you are in village or like in park on a walk all strangers (at least those you made eye contact with) will smile at you and say Hello
(I freaking love when i go home from school and meet those old ladies on rolling chair and we smile to each other, maybe also because i just can't imagine this in my country)

If you want to have regular smalltalk with german people, you need to have a child oder a dog with you. Germans only talk to strangers if they have a reason, like if you ask for help or they want to compliment your dog, which is usually a good ice breaker, since many german people are friendly around pets oder children.

I literally just got back from a trip to Berlin and the number of types of tickets one can buy for the public transport is *mind-boggling*. Thank all the gods I'm the type of person that researches and overprepares for a trip so I knew what tickets I had to buy but I can see how it would overwhelm a non-local simply trying to get a ticket to go from A to B. My suggestion to those travelling in Germany and indeed some other parts of Europe is to get an all-day ticket or a 3~5 day unlimited ticket so you don't have to worry about buying individual tickets each time you need to use public transport. You're going to be using the public transport a lot anyway and these 24, 48, 72 hour tickets actually save you money.

As an American, I love chatting with strangers in public. I understand sometimes it feels awkward smiling to strangers, but I force myself because I believe in community.
