I think it is easier for an European to go to Latin America and make friends and feel more comfortable than the other way around, I know it seems like a cliche but in Latin America people really are very open to make new friends even with people they just met

En suma, lo contrario del estereotipo que acá se señala. El no reconocer que hay gente que vive y es de esta manera, siento, envía el mensaje que un buen latino es el latino con muchos amigos y muy cálido, lo cual no es muy justo.

As a peruvian, I remember one of the things that shocked me the most when i traveled to Berlin was the fact that i interrupted a lot while talking. It's normal here to talk louder or to interrupt someone to complete their sentences but when i got there i noticed it was kind of rude, so i adopted that. I have some theories about why this happens, like the sentence construction differences between german and spanish (the verb at the last vs the verb at the beggining) or the fact that we live in constant hurries and we are used to "save" time. Luckily it wasn't that hard to change those habits and now i apply them on my dayly conversations. Other thing i noticed was that people in Germany are not so confortable to be asked some regular "protocole" questions like "How do you feel?" because they might consider it a bit personal, when it's actually just a default question which we dont expect to be profundized, just a "fine" works. Oh and i also remember people got really surprised when i told them that i used to talk for HOURS on the phone with some friends. EDIT: Oh and once more i just remembered! People sharing tables on bars and leaving things on the top of them while going to the bathroom or outside. Thing's are not that safe in South America so don't be offended if we take all our stuff with us even if we go to the toilet. Let's say we have trust issues with strangers, nothing personal.

I am not a latina, just a european that lived in Mannheim for 8 months and did not manage to make even 1 friend, although I am super open as a person..I knew that germans have thick walls that are very very very very hard to overcome, but what actually shocked me is that my husband is a german from Westphalia and he was also new to Mannheim and didn‘t manage to create any connections as well... The social aspect of life in Germany is incredibly sad, it is a nation of insular people that tend to stay for their whole lives in their microcosmos..most of them have their friends from way back when, school, kindergarden... What puzzles me the most is that if you talk to germans that went abroad to friendlier countries they talk about this in such a positive way..“oh, italians are so friendly“, „wow, I loved how open the spanish people are“ etc, but then they do not take that experience with them to implement it in their own community. I have never felt as lonely, sad and rejected as I did in Germany. Such a pity...this country has so many good things to offer...if only people would be more open and friendly. :(

I’m from Costa Rica and before I traveled by myself I thought I loved social distancing (as in physical distance, no hugs, no touching) but after spending 3 months in Germany I realized I missed the human touch the most. I’m used to saying hello and good bye with a kiss on the cheek and to people hugging me or touching my arm or whatever, so to not have ANY kind of physical interaction was a huge culture shock for me in the end and definitely one of the things that I missed the most from my country.

Vielen Dank für dieses Video, ich habe mich sehr wiedererkannt. Ich bin Deutsche und habe vor 11 Jahren ein Gastjahr in Costa Rica verbracht. Danach habe ich mich in Deutschland fremd gefühlt, der Kulturschock war so stark, dass ich mich nicht mehr integrieren konnte und auch nicht wollte. Ich hatte so starkes Heimweh nach Costa Rica und mich jahrelang unwohl gefühlt. Dann habe ich einen Freiwilligendienst in Kolumbien gemacht, mich dort verliebt und bin im Januar 2019 nach Medellín ausgewandert. Das war die beste Entscheidung, jetzt fühle ich mich wohl, auch wenn mein kolumbianischer Partner und ich jeden Tag kleine Unterschiede zwischen uns feststellen.

Dieses Video hat mir so sehr gefallen hahaha. Ich wohne in Brasilien, bin 22 Jahre alt und habe einen Austausch in Österreich gemacht, und dort hatte ich natürlich auch einige Kulturschocks. Die Österreichischen und die Deutschen sind am Amnfag richtig kühler als die Leute in Brasilien, und das war für mich ein bisschen kompliziert, weil ich manchmal gedacht habe, dass sie nervös oder gestressed waren, aber sie sind einfach so (nur am Anfang). Ich habe auch in einer Situation geweint, weil ich so sensibel geworden bin, nachdem eine Frau im Supermarkt super direkt mit mir gesprochen hat. Aber dann habe ich gemerkt, dass die Leute freundlicher werden, je mehr Kontank du mit ihnen hast. Und ich habe auch entdeckt, dass sie nicht schlecht meinen, wenn sie direkt sprechen. Sie sind tatsächlich sehr nett, höflich und zuverlässig. Jetzt denke ich, dass die Brasilianer manchmal zu freundlich sind hahaha sie respektieren nicht diesen Abstand. Aber ja, deshalb reise ich sehr gern, um neue Kulture kennenzulernen. Ich liebe die Deutschen und Österreichischen Kultur.

Or feeling alone. People who travel all the time and blog etc never talk about that but it's a very real part of travel. Great to hear about others' similar experiences. Great videos :)

As an Australian woman in my fifties I had lots of culture shocks when I attended a Sprachschule in Stuttgart at the beginning of last year! I found the underground trains very confusing, as in Adelaide where I live we don’t have any underground trains! Germany is very, very crowded compared to Australia - even compared to our cities. For example, I live 25 km from the centre of Adelaide, but it is still a suburb of Adelaide. If I lived 25 km from the centre of Stuttgart I’d most likely be living in a completely different city! In Stuttgart, people did a lot more walking. In Australia, we are more lazy, and take our cars everywhere. I also found speaking German difficult. I thought because I’d been learning it at uni for 2 years that I’d be speaking it straight away. 🙁

In fact all those are not culture shocks - that's just the way the cities are set. Something really disturbing from being in Germany for a foreigner would be that none would talk to you if they haven't met you before (the same goes in the UK) - even it would be considered to be rude if you talk to someone in the street or in public transport. Germans would think "why is he or she talking to me?" and after thinking a bit about it, germans get to realize that in a way they display a social dumbness in interacting to others, particularly when they come to visit communities with a warmer culture, ie, latin american countries.

@Julie Englert, Adelaide sounds similar to how Houston is laid out. The suburb I live in is about 30 miles (50 kms, I think?) from Houston and it's still part of Houston. In Texas, in general, we've pretty much given up measuring distance by miles and just state distance based on how many minutes (or hours) it'll take us to get from Point A to Point B, LOL. We drive everywhere too, since even if a supermarket or a Wal-Mart is "down the road", it still might be a 15 minute drive.

So, if they won't talk to your unless they've met you before, how do you get that first person to talk you so you can hopefully be introduced to other people?

Very cool! I've definitely experienced culture shock over the past few years... I work as US Military, so I've lived overseas at a few places: Italy (2 years), S. Korea (1 year), Japan (3 years) and now Germany (1 year so far). Italy was different because it was so laid back, and having to learn how seriously Italians took their mid-day breaks was even harder (especially if you wanted to get food or run errands). South Korea was very much more of a city life than I'd ever experienced, so that was hard to get used to. I found some of the local Koreans to be rude at times, but I've also made some really nice friends there. Japan was wonderful, and once I got to know the language better, it felt like I could integrate more fully into the culture. Out of all four of those places, I came to learn how much safer I feel living in other countries that aren't my own. In the USA, I always feel anxious walking by myself (I'm a woman if that makes a difference), and I feel like people can often times come off as more entitled/less friendly. Overall, I prefer living overseas, and I plan to live the rest of my life in Austria. :)

Als erstes danke für das tolle Video, jetzt erzähle ich meine Geschichte. Mit einem Austauschprogramm bin ich mal nach Deutschland gefahren, und an einem Unterricht in einem Gymnasium teilgenommen, plötzlich haben alle Schüler angefangen ihre Nasen laut zu putzen, niemand hat es irgendwie speziell empfunden, der Unterricht ging einfach weiter, und es war für mich ein richtiger Schock, weil hier in Armenien in der Öffentlichkeit die Nase laut zu putzen wird oft als unhöfflich sogar eklig gekennzeichnet. Und das machen die Leute in Deutschland auch beim Essen. Also es war sehr seltsam für uns, dann aber als wir nach Armenien zurückgekehrt sind, haben wir es unwillkürlich ab und zu mal gemacht, und gelacht, wir haben es eingesehen, dass mit der Zeit gewöhnt man sich an alles.

Is like if they don’t want to open up to new friends or maybe is because I am an immigrant? Who knows 🤷🏻‍♀️🥺💔

I lived for six month in Northern Germany as an Erasmus student in 2016. Back then I had done my two previous semesters in another Central and an Eastern European country and had a coming semester ahead of me to live in Denmark.. It was from my stay in Rostock that I started receiving these polite smiles from total strangers in the street and I loved it.. I'm not sure if it's something specific when you start moving towards Northern Europe, because I continued (am still) experiencing it in Denmark.. I have tried to practice it while on vacation in Southern/Central Europe and every time received strange looks back.. also it's certainly something that we don't do in my country:)

Very cool video, EG crew! I think Priscila captures the notion of, "culture shock," nicely. As does the gentleman who lived in Argentina. I'm from the US but I've traveled and lived abroad much of my life. Many things I experienced that, at first, were uncomfortable, became enjoyable and I have incorporated into my, "culture." Some places that Americans and Europeans would consider less-developed also served as a reminder that there is pure beauty and joy in the simplicity of life: family, friends, food, music. Some tend to lose that in the world of commercialism.

Sadly most of the time the people who use Latin America actually mean Hispanic America. The truth is that they, the people there, want a name for the Spanish speaking countries of the Americas but, oh, they don't want this name to have nothing to do with Spain or Spanish, do they say Latin America although what they really mean are the Spanish speaking countries. 90% of the times someone says Latin America it has nothing to do with Brazil or Haiti...

Whoever is more advanced and has some free time to read this, feel free to correct some mistakes, please. Ich bin nach Romania eingezogen, weil ich hier in der Universität studiere. Deshalb habe ich einen starken Kulturschock gefüllt in meinem ersten Jahr. Normaerweise ist die Weihnachtsfeier in meinem Heimatland am 7. Januar. Aber Romania feiert eine europäische Weihnacht am 25. Dezember. Am 7. war es Weihnacht in meinem Herz. Ich musste trotzdem viel studieren und zum Unterricht gehen. Deshalb war ich sehr traurig und habe mir so allein gefüllt. Ich hatte fast geweint. Trotzdem konnte ich russische Weihnachtsshows am fern gesehen. Das hat mir ein bisschen geholfen.

Wenn man Videos wie dieses sieht (natürlich war es super, wie immer), denkt man dass die Deutschen kühl sind und doch kühler als uns Italiener (und ich komme aus Neapel, im Süditalien, wo man in Italien sagt dass die Leute sind _wärmer_ als die anderen Italiener!); aber ganz _alle_ Leute in München waren so nett dass ich fühlte mich nach Hause.

Ich habe 2 Monate in Bangkok gelebt und habe viel Zeit mit einheimischen verbracht die ich dort kennengelernt habe. Größter Kulturschock war: wir sitzen Abends beim Essen, alle Thais in der Runde sind am Handy rum und chatten mit anderen Freunden während wir zusammen saßen. Ich habe allerdings nicht mein Handy rausgeholt, da es in Deutschland ja als unhöflich gilt das zu machen. Da fragte mich einer aus der Runde ob ich denn keine Freunde hätte weil ich nicht am Handy bin.

Hallo Cari und Manuel (und Janusz auch), Herzliche grüsse aus Philadelphia in den USA. Nachdem ich die Uni graduiert habe, bin ich in der Türkei gereist, nicht nur in Istanbul aber auch im Sudosten. Es war einer super heisser Sommer. Als ich meiner “cutoff shorts” oder “Jorts” getragt, dann die Leute auf der Strasse mich angegucken wie ich total verruckt war. Das war für mich be bisschen peinlich. Doch fand ich die Turkischen Kultur sehr nett, freundlich, und ganz offner als hier in den USA. Danke vielmal für euren videos. Es freue mich sehr um sie zu sehen und meine scheiss-Deutsch zu üben!!! Sie stellen immer eines Lächeln an meiner Gesicht.

I’m American and so many international students and coworkers have told me it’s so hard to make friends in America.we call even casual acquaintances friends sometimes so coworkers have told me they were disappointed when people they met in America called them a friend but would blow off hanging out or if they asked the American if they could help them with something but they said no. They told me in their countries when you calll someone a friend, it’s a real friend relationship you cherish. So if you come to America, people can be super friendly and nice but just because they call you a friend doesn’t mean they are always there for you - you’ll know after awhile who are best friends and just casual acquaintance friends. Even though I’m America, it’s hard for me to make friends too - I have to feel out the person after a while to decide if I want to spend my time with them but if I call someone a friend I would do anything for them so I can understand and relate to foreigners a lot who are use to this mindset how hard it must be for them when they move to America

Es hört einfach nicht auf. 2. Jammern als Smalltalk. Ich komme auch aus Mexiko und ich weiß es nicht, ob es schon zu lange her ist, dass ich in den normalen Alltag war, oder es ist eine Kultursache aus Deutschland. Am Anfang kamm ich nicht richtig klar damit und würde mehr mals dadurch depressiv hahaha! 🤯 3. Pünktlich sein. Das ist eine Sache, an die ich mich noch nicht gewöhnen kann. Traurig aber war.

I lived in Berlin for a year and I'm British. Key culture shocks for me were: 1. Nobody queues and I was constantly being cut in front in supermarkets and couldn't understand why haha (brits love to queue) 2. Having to time stamp my U-Bahn ticket before getting on the train 3. The fact that EVERYTHING is closed on a Sunday and forgetting to buy bread and milk on Saturday lol 4. Germans are very direct and Brits are overly polite and awkward so this was interesting 5. How at ease Germans are with nudity and stumbling across the nudist section of the park in Potsdam by mistake... 6. Collecting all of your empty plastic bottles and returning them to the supermarket in return for money (this is a great idea and think we should adopt it in the UK) 7. The facts that rooms are rented without any furnishings at all and the kaltmiete/warmmiete distinction 8. Being stared at on public transport and the person not breaking the stare despite my making eye contact (I'm Indian so this might have had something to do with it - it was 10 years ago) 9. Registering at university and local Rathaus was a very paper heavy process, nothing was computerised or centralised which meant a lot of being sent from pillar to post getting things signed by different people whilst working with a language barrier, fun times! Those are just a couple I could recall! But I loved my time in Germany and would love to go back.

I come from the USA and reverse culture shock after spending time living away was very very hard. I realized how common it is to spend money, buy things and make a big production to spend time with people you already know. For example friends always wanting to get dressed up and go out to a bar/restaurant/show and being reluctant to just come over to your place or sit in a park and hang out there and know you won't be "seen" by anyone. I prefer the cozier and more inclusive environments now.

When I came back from Berlin to the US this year the reverse culture shock was real, especially because I was leaving a place just coming out of quarantine, where everyone had healthcare and the economy wasn't struggling as much, to re-enter a place riddled with corona and lack of healthcare and job loss. It felt like going backwards in some ways, even though I love the US.
