The Waschlappen killed me 😂😂 have you ever tried to fill the Waschlappen with water? I suppose every kid in Germany tries to do that at least once 😂
That was my number one activity in the bathtub, right after filling empty shampoo bottles with water to pour it back for absolutely no reason.
and french
Soap water is even better. It foams when you squeeze it! How can you resist?!
Definitely have tried that. Have tried that even when I'm no longer a kid or a teenager, but hey, nobody knows what I'm doing in my own bathroom!
@@Marewig well...i do know...hehe heheeheee HEHEHEEEEEE...and here you were thinking that youre living a life... ALL A RUSE! a perfect synthetic recreation...to find out whats going on in the bathtub!!!!!!!!!!muahahahahaa MUUUAAAHAHAHAHH!
That kind of Waschlappen was designed when people normally used bars of soap. You can put the soap bar in that "bag", make it wet, squeeze... and it produces foam 🥳 nowadays we come back to good old soap bars for saving plastic 🤷🏻♀️
Really? I thought it's just easier to use because you can handle it like a glove, but always good to learn something new
I am German and I also never had an idea that it was used this way. 😂
@@kaleroka3602 🤷🏻♀️ Diese taschenförmigen heißen im Gegensatz zu den offenen, quadratischen auch Seiflappen
We grew up with wash cloths... maybe those aren't as common as I thought. They are more square-ish and a bit smaller than that washing mitt and just 1 side like her big teal cloth.
I always just soaped the outside. Next time I will try your variation, I still have a few 'washandjes'. ('Wash-small-hands')
My friend taped an eye on each side of the camera so that they have something to focus on😊
That’s a great tip 😳 thank you 🥰
The thought of a camera with two googly eyes in it is so funny to me.
We also use waschlappen in the Netherlands. We call them washandjes (wash hands) My mother would also use them as a freshener in the closet. She would fill them with dried lavender or a bar of soap. And then lay it between the clean laundry and linnen.

That's a great life hack. 👍🏼
Nice idea 👌
In France, too.
We had beautiful lavender orange and almond trees where i grew up and my aunties and grandmothers always had the nicest smelling linen closets !!!
Always some lavender and blossoms stuffed in between the linens in old wash mittens that weren't used anymore.
I have the americanized version of little pomanders made with cheesecloth sacs.
It is always nice to have nice smelling linens.
I live in Japan and I really really miss German windows,
Much easier to clean and it’s has usually double glass wich is much more sound proof!
@@sirhana its not that new thou. In Poland (and I'm guessing most of the soviet controled areas) all of the apartment blocks that were build after ww2 by the communist government had those kinds of windows. And that was like 80 years ago. Now they're the standard.
The "german windows" are also in my country (Poland), and I can't even imagine to have other ones. I hated windows in Barcelona (made out of aluminium, it was sooo cold in nights) and hated the one in London (which goes up-down only).
In Finland we have triple glass windows. : )
It was weird to visit Britain and stay in houses with single glass windows. Of course I knew to expect it (at least in some of the places we stayed) but it still felt odd. It was a warm summer but I felt cold when I tried to imagine the indoor temperature during winter. ”:D
@@Ohdakkeinen It's the same in Sweden, 3 glass windows...
@@postrachsmietnikow Really? I live in Poland in a block from the sixties and we only changed our windows to pvc double glass about fifteen years ago. before that we had two separate layers of wooden windows, like in pre-war buildings. And it's the case for most of flats I've seen,
We also have these "little cucumbers". They are calld "Landgurke", the bigger ones called "Salatgurke". And there are the tiny "Snack Gurke", who are just 5-8 cm long.
Snack Gurke xDD
Landgurke are for małosolne! (*Salzarme Gurken are very popular in Poland, it's pickled cucumbers)
The salatgurke is the breed schlangengurke
We also have SENFGURKE. It's a yellow cucumber and it's perfect for pickled cucumber.

Behold! The Power of German Kipp und Stoßlüftung 😂
when i made a pasta dish in Vietnam i was so hella confused by the shallots because they were so tiny 😅
entertaining video as always! 💖
Yeb they’re tiny but the aroma is 🔥 🔥 🔥
Wow, your creativity, humor, and growth as a creative cinematographer, writer and more is truly inspiring. You rock!
You're so adorable, polite and funny! I hope youtube pays you back all this sweetness you bring to us ✨️ warm hug from Brazil 🇧🇷
Lol I remember when my mother and I traveled for the first time to Switzerland. She had opened the window and decided it was too cold to keep open so she closed it but when she let go it fell towards her and she screamed bloody murder but it had only tilted open. It was very funny and eye-opening 🤣
But be careful, some windows can actually fall when you go from fully open to "Kipp" without fully closing them first, because they will only hang on one bottom hinge. Our kitchen window from the sixties does that.
😂
it's incredible to me that I never questioned that our windows open like that
But… you have to pull the handle UP for it to open the vent. Did your mom think that was the way to CLOSE the window?
Lol
When I moved to Spain 40 years ago, my parents asked me what it was like. I told them, "Even brooms and dustpans are a different shape." Often if I needed something from a hardware store I had to go in and describe it. "I need one of those round things that you use to..." because not only did I not know the names for things, but when I got it, it would look nothing like I expected!
I know what you mean ! I think almost everything in the UK is different than it's équivalent on the Continent, even in France which isn't that far from the UK really, yet "things" can be SO different.
When I travelled in Spain, my boutique hotel provided the other two sizes of towels but not the small face cloth, but they also provided super thin bottles of shower gel that would not lather up on your hands (like a bar of soap would) so then I went looking in a store and could only find larger towel sizes and thought that somehow they didn't use that size. Wound up buying a shower brush since I needed one back home anyway, but was still confused about what they expected guests to do with the shower gel. And I think I googled and didn't find an answer then but now I google and see that they just expect people to bring their own and it's considered a more personal item. I like the wash mitt and wish they had those in the store. On the other hand, everyone in Singapore expects toothbrushes to be provided in hotels.
@@SquidandCatAdventures We don't have face cloths in Spain.
One of my history teachers in high school moved from the North to the South in the US when she was 20-ish, so maybe the 60s? She said she had NO IDEA what a "spiiidah" was. Apparently that was a dustpan. So even 1500 miles can make a difference when the country is diverse enough. "It's regional" covers a lot of sins when you have to explain language variables hahah
@annainspain5176 please don't think I'm rude, but what kind of towel do you use to dry your face please? a hand towel?
I've seen all kinds of cucumbers 🥒 in lots of sizes. I grew up in a Polish family. All kinds of pickles and cucumbers for the snack plate. Yum!
Polish Pickles are the best. 🙂
Me too. But that was a time in my life I’d like to not think about.
we specifically use shallots for the milder taste hehe. if we want the strong taste we use regular white onions
Or red ones.
I've been watching your videos and they make me feel a bit better about travelling to Germany from a US asian household to meet my long distance boyfriend, so thank you for that!
You know being an American, I assumed I was going to relate more with the German side since they're so much closer to Britain, but aside from the cucumber and the shallots, everything you talked about from Vietnam was way less weird than the stuff from Germany.

In my country we have both kinds of cucumber & both kinds of shallot. We call the purple ones french shallots & the brown ones Vietnamese shallots
@@beatrix1120yeah same in poland
I think it's because germany is culturally much closer to the rest of europe then to britain. Basically everything but the washing glove thing is the same in my country. (central/eastern europe) And britain has always been partially isolated from the rest of europe so in many aspects they're going to be very different from us.
@@dr.christopherjohnson5046 please stop spamming the comments of all of ninh's videos
As an American, I spent 5 weeks in Germany over the summer, and can totally relate to the culture shock over the little things! I had expected our plugs to be different, ours are more like Vietnam's than Germany or any other part of Europe, but the windows were magical to me haha.
You just seem like the sweetest person ever, I could listen to you aaaaall day 😃❤️

When you clean your face or body with the Waschlappen, We call it „Katzenwäsche“ 😂 spell it 😂 I can count many things that seems weird to me, when I came the First Time as a German-Vietnamese to Vietnam 😂
All your videos are so sweet and delightful! Thankyou for sharing your journey.
Your TikTok’s always give me a laugh. They’re great. Keep ‘em coming!
In Canada, or at least in Ontario, you can find a few kinds of cucumbers at the supermarket. The long skinny ones are usually called "English cucumbers". "Vietnamese" ones, like she showed are just "cucumbers", and then you can get "mini cucumbers" or "gherkins". (But don't confuse them with "gherkin pickles" here; gherkin pickles/pickled gherkins are extra small cucumber pickles, like the size of your pinky finger or smaller.)
In the UK we only call them gherkins *if* they've been pickled. I think before pickling they'd be called pickling cucumbers, but they're not that common in the supermarkets because most people don't pickle their own.
You can get mini cucumbers for snacking on, but I think they're a different variety to the ones used for gherkins.
I’m so glad the video gave you the confidence to post more videos. I always had a hard to reconnecting with my Vietnamese culture being raised in a predominantly white area. I’m so excited to see more of your content. They make me and my partner smile so much ❤

You're doing a great job! I love these kinds of cultural comparisons.
Excited for long-form content from you. Congrats on all your success!
I simply really really enjoy your way of talking, your whole demeanor and the ... aura you project. Yes, I just looked it up to be sure, I do mean aura, and how radiant you are. Deine Ausstrahlung! :D It makes it so enjoyable to listen to you, and that's not even speaking of the philanthropy you teach by example and, most prominently, your wonderful sense of humor. Thank you so much for deciding to go on YT/other platforms and sharing these bits of your person with the internet. One of my personal highlights in this flood of content.
And sorry for not commenting on this specific video, which I also enjoyed a lot :D
As a belgian all the examples of Germany that you gave are normality for me, but I remember the times when I first heard about tilted windows and washlappen (called 'washandschoen' or 'wash glove' in Dutch) being pretty much exclusive to western Europe. It was mindblowing to me because they are so convenient and just everywhere here that I had always assumed they were universal!
It's so interesting to see the things you grew up with and always thought were universal, and then recognising the feeling but not the specific things!
Love your channel.
Thanks for sharing part of your life.
I love your blog! I love it’s so natural.
there is also a "secret" third option with german/austrian windows :D you just put the handle between open and tilted to create just a tiny gap, it takes some time to find the right ankle but it´s perfect for the night!!! (:
Omg, I am german, just tried this and am currently in shock, questioning my whole life.
was zur hölle 😳

Holy shit wow!!!! Works on Dutch windows too. This is a lifesaver for me, someone who loves fresh air but doesn't want the whole room to get cold! Thank you so much Judith!
It’s amazing as a (statistically average) Canadian how much more in common we have with Vietnamese than Germany as far as this list goes… in my experience for most of this list we either have both, neither, or the Vietnamese version. Even though Vietnam is so far away from where I am we’re united by superior shallots ❤️
I agree from USA
Really? I felt the German stuff was more similar to life in Canada mostly. We've got both types of cucumbers, the German shallot and the same windows as Germany. I suppose it varies by region
Love your videos and hearing your observations from Germany. It's so interesting to hear about my country from the view of a young Vietnamese woman. Thank you for all your hard work! 👍❤🤗
Thank you for posting! You did a great job! 😄
I’m so glad you’re making more long form content!! You are quickly becoming my favorite creator! ❤
I really like that style of windows (they have the same in Switzerland, where I spend a lot of time). If I ever build my own house here in Texas I'll look into importing them.
Love your content. It came up on my feed. I have a friend in Germany who has recently moved there so I forwarded one of your videos to her and she said she also watches you!.
Again really fun to watch your doing amazing work ✨
In australia we mainly have sliding windows and fly screens! A variety of cucumbers and different electrical plugs! We always had waschluppen as we came from germany over 62 years ago! 😺❤️🇦🇺
I miss fly screens so much. Moved from Australia to Switzerland. You have to install your own here and I just don’t like how they are done
Hey Uyen!
I love your videos. I am from South America and I have also had the same cultural shocks as you although it is fun and interesting also.
Every time I learn something new about German culture and of course, I just identify myself with all your videos haha.

I found you here on CZcams. I very much love your work. You’re witty and funny. Currently my most favourite was the lüften video. The scream at the end was fantastic!!! I look forward to many more vids. Thank you for bringing joy and laughter to me.
The windows in Germany I have never seen before, I like them! The Vietnam windows are very nice, also. Thank you for sharing🤗
You are such a inspirational person, love your Instagram reels videos a lot ! Keep it perfect ! You should introduce us what German academy looks like after 🤭
You are such a delight, and always bring a smile to my face :) thanks for the videos!
I absolutely love watching your videos!!! 🥰
We call those English (hothouse) cucumbers in America. They tend to be skinny and have very few seeds compared to the ones that are about the same size as you say you would see at home in Vietnam, which are closer in size to our pickling cucumbers. We also have cucumbers that are almost as long as the English cucumbers, but they're thicker and tend to have a stronger flavor (well, in so much as cucumbers have flavor), baby pickling cucumbers, snack cucumbers, and Persian cucumbers. I'm pretty sure my local generic Asian store sells a specific Asian cucumber, too, but I'm not sure what kind of cucumber it is.
Cucumbers - a lot more diverse than most of us probably realize, unless we live near an heirloom farmer. 😂
We grow round white cucumbers in the garden here, though they don’t have much flavour so we won’t grow them again. We also have tiny finger sized ones (for pickling) and huge ones that can weigh 1kg.
I like Persian cucumbers even better than English cucumbers. English cukes still have a kind of bitter skin, tiny non bitter Persian cucumbers aren't and their little size that doesn't require cutting is so much better for a little snacking.
What America do you live? Born and raised in Arizona and we call them organically grown. I moved to Alaska 6 years ago and still referred to as organically grown.
@@3monsters014 Organically grown isn't a variety of cucumber, it's a way of growing it - and yes, most of the English cukes I buy are organically grown.

I love your short videos.
Excellent sense of humor and you have a good relationship with your partner.
Well done Uyen, you’re doing great 👍 I love your reels, they are so funny and accurate! 😂
Cool what you explained about shallots!
I'm from Denmark, but enjoy cooking food from different Asian cuisines. I've noticed recipes often call for shallots, which I never really use. I normally use a large yellow onion as my standard onion, and shallots are more for delicate dishes where the onion flavour can overpower the rest.
Our shallots look the German ones and are also very mild - but maybe the reason so many recipes use shallots is because they taste different where those recipes are from 😄
You have a great sense of humor!😄 I'm loving your videos. I'm so happy to see you gaining followers 🌟
Thank you for the interesting video! You have a very sweet personality and I enjoy learning about different cultures. I myself am a quarter French and mixed with different things like english. But I live in America.
Thank you for your videos...i moved from USA to Mexico...and some things are different...but I love to see how other parts of the world are different too 💚❤

The description of cucumbers was a little bit ambiguous 😂😂😂 great video 👍
But however you take it it’s probably true 🤣🤣
Love your videos, I get to learn about German culture and Vietnamese culture at the same time!
Lots of love Uyen! Keep growing! 💕
Realy cool content, thanks for expanding my knowledge.
we have even more crazy windows in our flat in germany. We can also use the position inbetween opened and half opened and it just makes the window work like a badly insulated old window with a tiny gap behind it which allows the air to flow a little bit without actually opening the window because when they are completely closed it's so well insulated that there is no air coming in from the outside at all.

You are so cute and I relate to your experiences as I am American living in Italy. It is very interesting that moving from and to such different countries can be so similar.

I just love all your content ☺️ please go on ❤️
always a pleasure. I always smile while watching.
In my little flat in Munich I had a window that you could open, tilt like you showed („kippen“) and then there was a third option right between the open and tilt position, which was still burglar proof but allowed a little more air to go through than if it had been closed. So helpful, especially when you want to have fresh air but it is too cold or warm to constantly open the window.
I was so shocked finding out most countries in the world don't usually have tilted windows. How can you guys life without that?
Let me tell you, as a disabled person with only 30% use of my right arm, this sash windows which are standard in the U.S. can jump in a lake. They are SO difficult to open with one arm, and since I can't raise my right arm over my head....ARGH.
The house I am in now isn't very old, so it has very "modern" double pane, vinyl sash windows and just like most places I've lived, if the force you use isn't pretty close to equal on both edges of the window, it's as though it binds in the frame and won't raise. Same thing coming down, with the added annoyance that it takes a metric asston of force to even get a window to move down.
My accident was 19yrs ago, I barely even notice the way I modify my method of living in a world designed solely for abled people probably half the time. But U.S. windows are my personal bugbear. Thankfully, I have a 10yo who has hit her growth early and is already about 5'3". She is doing more and more of the things which I have to put myself in danger to do now.
Mosquitos in the tropics. Our Windows open as sliders and the frame retains the mosquito mesh.
@@Land_Shark we have tilting windows and insect nettings in the window frames. One doesn't negate the other
they barely survive
We use more heating and cooling, as well as the central fan and/or ceiling fans for circulating the air if the temperature inside is comfortable but needs some refreshing. Some of us use air purifiers, and others use lots of scented products and don’t realize the need for fresh air. Our homes are built from cheap materials and, over the past 70 or so years, builders have abandoned the methods that were used before central heating and cooling were developed. Along the way, people also stopped common practices such as airing out the sheets before making the bed and airing out the house. I wouldn’t be surprised if I learned that German homes are much better insulated, which would also explain the greater need to open windows even on the coldest of days.
Love your videos!! Keep up the great work. You are intelligent and have a very good sense of humor. 👍🇺🇲
Uyen you make my heart happy
The way that you describe Vietnam actually reminds a lot of Brazil (where I'm from) and Germany seems a lot like Switzerland (where I live) so I get both references

You really could do Waschlappen-advertising 😂 I love your videos, they're always entertaining and also informative
Haha. Sponsored by Möwe or Voss. The premium fabriks for towels and Waschlappen 😂🙈
I enjoyed this video! I don't use Tiktok so I hope you continue to make CZcams videos. I'm an American living in Japan so I can relate to everything being similar but totally different!
I’m from the US and here we call the long cucumber an English or Burpless Cucumber because it’s not supposed to give you gas. We also have the shorter cucumber which is just a Cucumber. We also have really short ones we call Pickling Cucumbers.
By the way, "fun" fact concerning the power plug: The power plug you show as German is actually the "Eurostecker" or C plug, which most European countries and quite a few countries all over the world implement as compatible with their individual socket system, which is probably why Vietnamese sockets are also compatible with it. The "German German" power plug is the "SchuKostecker" or F plug, which is not flat but round and almost all German sockets, including the one on your wall, are made to fit that one perfectly. It's supposed to be a bit safer (SchuKo means Schutzkontakt) than the flat C plug, which is mostly used with low-power devices.
But that's just me sharing stuff I find interesting, certainly not meant to criticize what you say! You're sharing your experience after all and are not aiming to teach people on technical background on everything that you could possibly mention.
Endlich mal ein richtig guter Kommentar 🥸👍
In the USA we use a 2 prong and a 3 prong plug that has 2 flat and one round that's compatible with GCFI so people don't get zapped in the bathroom while drying their hair. Apparently in Ireland there are no plugs in the bathroom
@@ah5721 and in Germany, we just put the whole house on a GFCI/RCD so you can have shock protection EVERYWHERE!
Diese Antwort ist.... korrekt 👍🏼
Der Schukostecker ist nicht sicherer 🤦🏼♀️
Das ist einfach nur eine andere Schutzklasse. Und das mit "low power" ist halt auch nur falsch verallgemeinert.
I don't know about Germany. But here in Switzerland, we sometimes also have a different kind of cucumber in the supermarkets that look much more similar to the one you showed in the video. They are called Nostrano (Italian for „ours“, and I think they originate from Italy as well) and are much more rustic: shorter (1/2 to 2/3 of a regular one), thicker skin with bumps, larger/more noticeable seeds
we have these in Japan too!
I've moved to Switzerland from Italy last year and I agree with this, I'm so glad that it is still possible for me to buy the "normal" cucumbers instead of the german strange ones 😂
Sometimes we have the tiny ones too in German supermarkets.
@@helens2219 they do and weirdly, they're expensive.
In Lithuania "short" cucumbers are the norm. And "long" ones are reffered as "American" or "store bought". Because we used to grow only the short ones. Now many seeds are available and people can grow both types at home. But when buying at the store people still preffer the short ones because they are believed to be more tasty. Lol
Oh my god you are so sweet!! You're doing just fine with your video skills, I don't think it matters that much - you make up for it in personality :)
Your videos make me so happy.
Technically what you’ve got there is a Waschhandschuh = washing glove. Though admittedly it’s the most common version of washcloth in Germany, so people usually just call it Waschlappen.
I love to see how we have different varieties of vegetables. I'm in the US and burpless are main cucumbers darker skin and smooth much thicker. I'm from New Mexico community had a large Vietnamese population growing up and we went to their market (yay common spice levels) bc vegetables tend to be fresher and a better price.

Salatgurken (the long ones) and Snack- (or Schmor-)Gurken (the short ones) are different sorts of cucumbers.
You can find the short ones, too, but in their unprepared form probably only on markets, since they (the short ones) are usually pickled.
But after a year in Germany, you probably know this already, by now. :)
I am delightfully addicted to your videos!!
Hi. New to your channel and watched all that CZcams had available. I'm not on any other social media so I'm happy that you were recommended. I've enjoyed every video. 😊

I’m from US and store cucumbers tend to be the bigger ones and they appear more uniform (ones with “scars,” bumps or misshapen are often rejected by grocery stores here) so they can compete to sell the best looking product & product that will produce mire food. But, when I grow cucumbers in my garden they tend to be a much smaller variety kinda like you describe from Vietnam. Food is often grown &specialized to be different (bigger, better visual appeal) for the grocery store shelves to encourage buying. I prefer the taste of my homegrown smaller cucumbers better.
Exact same here except I live in Scotland

Deine Videos sind sehr interessant und ich finde Dich wirklich sympathisch ☺️ Mach weiter so!!
Here in the Netherlands we also have the waschlappe. We call it a 'washandje' which translates to little washing hand. Waschlappe is a more logical name it means washing cloth. It is something from the past. The current generation doesn't use it anymore or even know about it.
There are small cucumbers as well as carrots, bananas and so on.
Often packed in extra plastic with nice pictures so the children get attracted and make their parents buy them.
They are extra expensive...
I love your content :) I'm an american married to a dane living in the UK, and I can relate to so many things you've made videos about; for example, danes also count in the same reverse way as germans. Drove me crazy at first, and I still have to think about it after nearly 40 years! And we keep a box of adapters, because the US, UK, and Denmark all have different sockets. *sigh* If only they could make a rule about sockets like the one about phone chargers... In any case, thanks for making us laugh!!!
Hello, I hope you're safe over there? I hope this year brings happiness, prosperity, and love all over the world, I would love us to be good friends in honesty and in trust if you don't mind. I'm Doctor Christopher Johnson from San Francisco, California, where are you from if I may ask?
What do you mean reverse way?
Like fifty-one vs en-og-halvtreds? I learned Danish as a child and it still confuses me sometimes 😅
@@nyokasteenholdt2954 I'm sure it does! It just doesn't make sense. And the other Scandinavian languages stopped doing it some time ago, though I'm not sure when.
Came here from instagram! I hope you'll upload more of your tiktoks here, because I can't watch reels on the full screen 😅 Love from Poland ❤
That German window is so crazy! We don't have that in Canada. I've never seen it before.
We have a term here called "Frischluftfanatiker" literally "fresh air fanatic" and it's a bit of a mocking word that we call people who seem to suffucate at the mere sight of no open window :'D. It's mostly for spring and autumn and maybe milder summer times or warmer winter times. And the main purpose to have fesh air without the risk of rain soaking everything while you're still running about and closing them all X'D
Maybe we should mention that air conditioning is relatvely rare i private households in Germany. So it's a good way to keep air flow as long as the air coming in is neither hot nor freezing cold. Very short fully opened moments of airing out are customary for winter, in order to quickly exchange air and NOT lose the heat that is in walls, floors and furnitures. Way to expensive to fully re-warm the room!! There's a whole manzal on how to air out correctly 😅
It seems here in America most of our stuff resembles Vietnamese stuff instead of German! I've definitely never seen a cucumber that big 😱I've never seen a "waschlappen" before (that looks very convenient!) and I have exact same plug in my house 🤣 Our windows do have glass on them, but you rarely push them OUT like that. They slide straight up.

I live in Europe, and our cucumbers are the small ones, not the huge one she was holding.
@@dsego84 Hello
@@dsego84 How are you doing?
🤔 Interesting about the shallot and cucumber. I know there are lots of different types/varieties of both but it's interesting what is more prevalent in which country. Here in the US you can find primarily two types of cucumber and one type of shallot in the average grocery store. A farmers market may have more variety but usually home gardeners grow more. 😍 That window is awesome!
Those longer shallots are actually banana shallots and why they’re longer, bigger (used in French cooking and why it’s more widely available in Germany).
I am from Kazakhstan 🇰🇿 nowadays we have both types of cucumbers but 10-20 years ago we had only short. Same for tilting windows. It's my first time seeing shallots.. actually, I'm not sure if we have or don't have shallots here, if I'd saw a shallot I would just assume it's an onion. Anyway shallots still probably can be found in hypermarkets. Our plugs are German shaped :) I think some soviet washcloths were like German? I would immediately assume it is washcloth for showering, though I've never used this type.
It's very interesting to learn about both cultures at once!
Kinda reminds me of Trash Taste podcast, where Welsh, Britain raised Thai and half Japanese half Australian talk about living in Japan.

Funny, I grew up with the rounder shallots, from our garden. Indeed, way more tasty. I was surprised when i saw the long purplish shallots in the shop.
New prescriber your videos makes me laugh 😂 I have Vietnamese friends and German friends it’s amusing to watch good job
Hey! First things first. Love hour video :) ♥️ abaut cucambers- difference is between how its grow. The small one are field cucambers, long one are a greenhouse cucambers. Field cucambers are usually avaible only during season. Long one are avaible whole year.
Look at you learning how to be a CZcamsr 😍
I am Dutch and in the Netherlands we also use the Waschlappen, we call it ‘waslap’. (Almost the same pronounisation) it is really handy actually
We call them washandjes. Are we talking about the same things here? The square is called washandje.
Ik heb waslapje gegoogled en dan krijg je gastendoekjes. Sorry als ik racistisch klink, maar je bent een extreem religieuze Marrokkaanse, als je geen Nederlands kunt, waarom ga je dat dan onder de video toch proberen?
@@Widdekuu91 Maybe Rahma is from a different part in The Netherlands then you. North and South have very different words for the same daily using-objects 😅
@@_BO. They do, but it's not waslap. Neither would it be correct to use a strong-dialect word and say 'The Netherlands says ..."
By that logic, you can claim that the United KIngdom calls a bird an ´aderyn.´
Because Welsh is technically also in the UK, get it? So it's _basically_ what the UK says.
@@Widdekuu91 I was not talking about dialect. Talking about two versions of words in Dutch, depending on where you live 🙂
