If you know where you park your car in those ridiculously large American parking lots, you can also imagine that we know where we park our bicycles, right?
😂😂
Or how do you find your generic looking grey suitcase at baggage claim at an airport? Like a suitcase you can make your bike unique with spray paint, stickers, accessories etc. Plus you can count the rows and remember the approximate location. The big bike parks near stations have letters on the ceiling to help you.
@@raisan5989 ya, i imagine it would be harder find ur car if it waset for the plate ...
Siesta is not really a thing.
Smaller shops close for a couple of hours around lunch time to extend the opening hours until later, this way a store can be "open" 10-20h without needing extra worker shifts. Lots of workers hate what is called "turno partido", which are these shifts with a longer than 1h break in the middle, in some cases it can even be 2h30 or 3h.
But the shop being closed doesn't mean the people go for a nap, that's the meaning of siesta, which is not something most people do during their work day.
Also this happens mostly with small or privately owned shops, chain stores will have several shifts without closing the store.
WRONG ..... the seista came about when spanish workers would take a rest during the hottest time of the day to escape the heat .😊
Siesta is not a thing for 90% of the people in Spain. Source: I am from there.
Well, I (Dutch) became 21 in Benidorm back in 1986, and it was a real thing back then there. Y Viva España❤
Most (less and less every year) shops close for 2 hours in the middle of the day. But that doesn't mean everyone is sleeping. People just have a nice peaceful lunch and, yes, if at home, maybe 10 or 20m of siesta.
@@framegrace1 Okay, I am Dutch and getting older each day (59 yo) and on really hot humid days I like to have a little nap around noon for about 3 hours, in the shade in the garden under a parasol ;) shops haven't closed for lunch here for ages, I remember the days when they still did take 1 hr lunch breaks and even on shopping evenings (yes there were times only one evening a week mostly on Thursdays, and some towns/cities on Fridays) there was a shopping evening) they closed 1 hr for dinner. Now it's shopping evening every day of the week here for most supermarkets and on special shopping Sundays for most shops. Only on Sundays do the shops that do open, open one hour later than regular. No closed for lunch or dinner shop in the NL, but in Germany they still do that as far as I know. But in Germany, you need cash money to pay in shops too, as far as I know, you can't pay by plastic/bank cards there.
Perdona,la hora de la siesta se puede usar para lo que se quiera,😊 incluso para hacer otras cosas en la cama ,o en el sofá ,ahora vas y lo cascas 😂😂
Por cierto,no sé recomienda siesta de más de veinte minutos
I grew up in Germany, I was only once in my Life asked to leave a Restaurant, after finished eating.
It was in a Tourist Hotspot and there were like 6-7 different Groups outside the Restaurant waiting for a free Table, so i think this was Okay.
She asked us very nice, apologized many Times.
"No taxes"? Yes, it's just included in the price you see 😅
That's what he ment.
The person at 1:50 apparently does not understand the difference between a bed and a table.
Siesta does not mean lunch break, it means "nap". People using a 2h break to eat with family are likely to be cooking two dishes, eating and leaving the kitchen clean in that time. I guess if your idea of "cooking" involves frozen dinners on paper plates, that still leaves enough time to sleep. And depending on how far they are from their homes, that break is _not_ enough to go home at all; it just means more total time out of the house because of work.
I certainly appreciate that you guessed they might be speaking out of the wrong end.
'If something costs five euros, it's exactly that. Tax is included.' 'Oh yeah, no taxes there.' Duh!
American butter is not from grass-fed herds. That yellow colour is the natural colour of butter.
A WTF from Americans I saw on CZcams: in Austria they complained because after a week they still hadn't seen any kangaroo.
And explain to an Ozzy what a bird-beak-animal is and they pee themselves laughing, btw for those who don't get it, it is a platypus, which in Dutch almost sounds like a flat-pussy (platte-poes).
Btw Austria/ Australia, it is easy to mix those up, but no worries mate, just throw another steak on the Barbie, get yourself a tinny, go on a walkabout and that's not a knife, I loved the smell of gum leaves since I was in a pram, some place may be greener but I don't give a damn, for I'm not fair dinkum bloody oat I'm not;) Yt search this for funsies: ""10 I'm Fair dinkim- open rhythm""
Hooroo too you 👍
I was part of a team that did a non-stop cycling relay from Nordkapp to Gibraltar in 2007. In Spain in August from about noon to roughly 4 p.m. you can be going through a village and have no idea if people live there or it is empty. The buildings look ok but all doors and windows are closed with solid wooden shutters to protect from the sun, everyone is inside and sleeping, not even dogs bark or anything. Then you go through a same looking village at 11 p.m. and there is children running outside and old people playing card games on a table in front of their house on the street and so on. I guess nowadays they could just install AC on every building, pay huge electrical bills and pretend like it is not making the outside heat even worse but they seem happy with the traditional way of dealing with hot days. Just hide inside a heavy stone house for the worst part of the day and compensate by living into the night. And I kinda like it.
For the Americans (and sadly many Europeans as well). The fact those working in hospitality don't NEED tips doesn't mean they don't WANT tips. Please tip them if you had a great evening with great service.
"and the accents are so similar, people from Europe wouldn't know" ... uhm.... if you EVER think ANYONE in Europe is believing you're a Canadian..., think again mate... yes many Europeans can distinguish an American from a Canadian. There is no question aboot that ey.
Yep. I'm French and we're used to always leave a tip, even if it's a small one. If you don't leave anything, the staff won't complain but they'll probably think that you're rude.
There must be a serious reason not to tip. Like, the waiter was absolutely incompetent and the service exceptionally bad.
And even then, if it's someone young, it's their first week, or they're struggling for some other reason, as long as they apologise for the inconvenience it's polite to leave something to show your appreciation.
Well, if I tip it is only when the service has been exceptional. The reason is - why should I tip a server, but not a nurse, or a teacher after a good lecture?
Tips are a very unfair idea.
@@MagdalenaBozyk Tipping nurses/doctors/etc. is considered unethical. But you can show your appreciation in other ways. When leaving hospital, a lot of people (myself included) offer things like chocolates, flowers, hand-made presents or a nice written note to thank the medical staff.
Same things for teachers. When I was in school, the other students and I would often offer a gift to our favourite teacher(s) at the end of the year and/or on special occasions.
We are many who can hear the difference between American and Canadian when they speak. And I am Danish ;)
In Spain, the "siesta" is not as real as that user says. For centuries, farm and sea workers would stop to eat and rest during the hours of the day when the sun is highest. In countries where there is not as much sun, this is not a problem, but in central and southern Spain, it is.
More recently, not sure since Franco's time or a little before, various rules were enacted for shops to close for a couple of hours at midday. But this is not because of any siesta, it is simply because in Spain people prefer to eat at home with their family. Simple as that.
Nowadays, since it is not mandatory, there are shops that close and shops that do not.
I saw two tourists in the tram in Vienna, and I swear, every item of clothing or bag they had on them, had the word Canada, the canadian flag, or a maple leaf on it... those people were almost aggressively making sure everybody knew where they were from. It was very amusing to me.
When I went over to Europe with my car I always had an Ecosse sticker on the back twice the size of the GB one.
2:57 - That picture is from Portugal. I don't know about other european countries but here that can has 7% orange juice.
5:40 - Don't be so sure aboot that. 😉
Orange content of the Fanta varies by countries.
There was a "scandal" 2 weeks ago, because some politician found out, that the hungarian Fanta has only 5% orange in it, meanwhile the italian version has 12%.
But in some country it is only 3%.
Looking forward to my trip to Portugal 🇵🇹 this September!
More than a siesta, it's because of the horrible split day at work.
People go home to eat with their family, if the schedule fits, and then return until the end of the day.
Normal business hours are from 9:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. or 2:00 p.m. and then from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. or even 9:00 p.m.
In Europe, if there are taxes on bars and restaurants, what happens is that by law they have to be included in the price for which the product is advertised.
If a menu is advertised for €20, taxes are already included and they cannot charge more, unless you have ordered something off the menu. At least in Spain it is like that.
Greetings
Sucks to hear you still didn't get your shot to visit Europe. Waiting for the updates about your travels👍
You will be surprised how the rest of the world is a very different place. I live in Australia as a Canadian expat. I lived in the United States for 10 years, the U.K. and now Australia. Continue your journey of learning and knowledge, grasshopper. Remember; travel on, travel reflect...
I have a big red bell on my bicycle so i know its mine 😂
The Cerne Abbas Giant is a massive, 180 ft, very, very male nude carved into a hillside in Dorset England. The giant brandishes two clubs, one in his right hand, the other anatomical. It is a Scheduled Monument administered by the National Trust.
Dit is ook echt een ding in Italy. Vanaf 12:00 is alles dicht tot 14:30.
Telling Canadians and US guys apart by the accent is difficult - it's easier by the behavior: Canadians basically apologize for apologizing. Americans are more like "Hey, I am 'Murican. Serve me first you [some insult] and I may give you some of my hard earned freedom money!"
we have taxes, but included in the price
No we have taxes like the 6%, 12% and the 21% its just always already included in the total price so we do pay taxes a lot actually.
You know how zebras recognize their parents in a herd by looking at certain specific characteristics? That's how dutch people find their bikes
A well travelled Brit here, I can confirm in the southern Mediterranean everything shuts down between 2pm to 4ish……….😊
Gotta love siesta 🥳
Luckily, we haven't lost our tradition of having lunch with our family. And for lunch I mean a proper meal. A sandwich and a bag of crisps does not qualify as meal for us, thank god.
Try to work at 2 or 3 pm in the black runway of southern Portugal or Spain with a 120 F temperature... I guess those who are not used to it will enter in auto pilot siesta mode (...and if you forgot your wrench or some metal tool in the sun during lunch time do not forget to wear insulating gloves or your skin in the hands will be left stuck to the metal hand!!!
I have seen the video before and it's great!
How does à Dutchie knows which bike is theirs ?
Well, our bike is like our child; we just know ! 😊
We know your Canadian when you say 'about'.
lol... To pretend to be a Canadian only works, if you don't have a thick Alabama accent, wavin' around you, like a rebel flag...
Charlie, there are easy ways to find out if you are talking to a real Canadian, make them say ""About" (or any ""ou"" word) if it sounds a bit like ""A-boat"" or ""A-boot"", you are most probably talking with a true Canadian ;)
not much siesta in, at least northern, Spain
I hope you will experience it!
Football does seem to bring out the worst in some people.
There are taxes, but they are included in the price.
siesta in Spain or pommeriggio in Italy is a real thing
Kerry Gold 👍👍👍☘☘☘
"You 'ave this in Ireland too?". I went to Malta and got Kerry Gold butter and cheese from the Carrefour. Grass fed cattle products are the best.
here there is hooliganism..
you know what a fkn siesta is?
For great contents about an American moved to the Netherlands: www.youtube.com/@hidavidwen just down to earth comments from hem over The Netherlands. No credits just a fan of both.
Siesta is real. Especially in Spain and Portugal
