    I've seen other people say it but it needs to be emphasized that Europe is a continent made up of very different countries with different behaviors! I'm from Ireland and we are so unlike many other European countries. It would be really interesting to see people from different European countries introduce their culture to you guys! (Maybe when covid-19 isn't as big of an issue)

    As previously mentioned it is a pretty common misconception that all European countries have the same cultural footprints but as a Swede I feel that there is a huuuge difference between every country. Obviously countries have been influenced as she mentioned in the video but as an example we don’t do the cheek greeting here at all. It would be really cool to see different sides of European cultures to debunk the misconceptions. I volunteer as tribute XD

      As a Latvian living in Ireland I can say kissing thing is something more typical to South Europe. Latvians are very introvert and distant people even when it comes to our own close ones. When I moved to Ireland and mixed with many other Europeans it was so natural to take over the greetings by hugging and cheek brushing (its not the actual kissing, no skinship actually) that when I went 2 Latvia and greeted my closest friends this way they were startled and confused at the beginning. Then they went with a flow.

    Europe is very diverse, with many history and different cultures/customs. But It's very funny to see how they react to different behaviors. In Portugal the summer is longer and we have air conditioning almost everywhere. When it's raining is similar to Germany, we rarely wear umbrellas. To greet we give two kisses on the cheek, even if it is the first time we meet someone, It's a normal thing. It was very funny to see their reaction! Awesome video 😉😄

    In the Philippines, we also usually do that way of greeting especially with friends and relatives, we call it 'beso' (the word is actually Spanish but we say it that way too since we were colonized by Spain before and adapted a lot of culture and tradition and 'cheek kiss' or 'cheek-to-cheek' is one of them)

    In Italy we use two kisses on cheeks ( it's actually a cheek to cheek but you have to make the "smack" sound) and it's considered a friendly greeting even between a boy and a girl, so you don't use it like when you greet your boss. There are many variations of the greeting , you can do it with hug if it's a close person, you can just put the hand on the arm if the person is not that close or sometimes guys use to wrap the arm around the waist of the girl (usually in a flirty way ;) ). Unfortunally Covid changed many things but with closest people we still tend to be really physical. LOVE FROM ITALY

    I'm an Australian with a Belgian mother and a Maori father. Seeing how standoffish Koreans are is very strange to me. Both sides of my family are very affectionate, and when visiting New Zealand I am expected to get up close and personal with people I've never met (to greet them with a hongi).
    I will hug and kiss my friends openly but this can vary with different social groups in Australia, and there are often more vocal (sometimes lude) ways we greet each other.

    Cute video. I enjoy learning about cultural differences. We do the cheek kiss thing here in Britain sometimes, depends on who you're greeting really, personally I'll sometimes sling my arms around people but I do try to read a person's boundaries first, if I know them well usually it's a hug greeting, for more formal greeting I still do the nice firm handshake that my father taught me 🤗 I guess Korean would bow, which I find a nice way of greeting.

    I'm from Slovenia and not all of us have air cons, we rather open our windows in the morning and at night to cool the house/apartment. We use umbrellas even if it's raining slightly, although it depends on a person and place (e.g. in our main city you will see people who don't open their umbrellas even if it's raining). We don't kiss strangers as form of greeting (we shake hands or just nod), the three kisses on cheek are usually done with close friends and family members, the only time that you do that with other people is when they wish you happy birthday, but not all do that. In Slovenia we kind of don't like touching each other, so even hugging can be awkward. We like to keep our distance.

    I'm spanish and german so I know both cultures very well. In Germany summer is shorter so people don't really use air cons but since winter is long there are lots of heaters! Every room has a heater, many houses have a fireplace etc. In Spain it's the opposite. There are lots of air cons, cause the summer ist so long and hot. But not many houses have heaters or even fireplaces since the winter is very mild and short. That's my experience at least. Spanish people use umbrellas when it rains, even light rain. Cause it almost never rains there (I'm from the mediterranian coast) but since it rains so much in Germany (I'm from NRW) people just wear good clothing like a rainproof jacket and go on. The kissing thing is more south european... In Spain we use it to greet everyone, strangers or not. Just two kisses and no handshake before. I think thats the french way? But one thing is important: in Spain it's only between women or men and women. Not between men, they just greet with a handshake or hug. In Germany people greet only with a handshake. Friends will greet each other with hugs.

    also here the summer is extremely hot and we definetely have AC almost everywhere. but I like it, I love the sun hours, my hair dries on its own and I don't get sick (because on winter I almost every year catch a big cold that won't go away). but also because of climate change the hot weather stays almost up until october... and then winter comes really cold were I live. last year we had the biggest snow storm ever since 1971!!! we were definetely not ready lmao the pipes on my house broke due to being frozen and we were almost two weeks without running water!! snow can be fun but it can also become a problem if it falls too much.
