Ukrainian here. So, in Ukraine: 1. The way you greet people really depends on the level of your relathionship. You may give a handshake, just say hi, hug, kiss etc. 2. Cold drinks are popular when the weather is hot, at least in the cities, and we drink all possible kinds of coffee. But even espresso is rarely served with a glass of water. 3. Markets are really usually closed on Monday (or at least most of sellers will have a day off on Monday). Some small shops and cafees are closed on weekends, but mostly they work every day. We have supermarkets that used to be 24/7/365 before the war started 4. About paying for public restrooms it really depends. But I prefer the ones that are not free because it`s usually much more clean, and you really see what you payed for 5. Never tried any doft drink made out of milk whey))) and we also put literally everithing to pizza 6. We usually don`t drink tap water, so if you ask for water at the reaturant, they will bring you bottled unless you specify. And you`ll have to pay for it

[@AntonVoyt]

Yeah, never greeted anyone in my life with a cheek kiss, and hug for me was something I would do only with family friends only. Took me a while to get used to hugging people who I know, but don't have close relationship with. And I still don't like doing that

I am from the western part of Ukraine. And here we kiss friends and relatives on the cheek, hugging at the same time, we hug acquaintances. But of course we don't do this with strangers or work colleagues.

[@stefaniya2923]

as Ukrainian may say for sure the girl was wrong about kisses and hugs it is only between girls who are besties, probably she has a lot of female friends and "in her world" there are lots of kisses and hugs.

[@zimon85]

Notice how Sofia (Sweden) is squirming uncomfortably and staying quiet when everyone starts talking about kissing on the cheek. 😂 Yeah in Sweden we might hug you in public if you're family or bff but that's it. Kissing as a greeting is only done by grandmas or if you're in a relationship.

But in my generation it has become quite uncommon and we have become a bit more reserved (I am 23)

[@boopyournose5698]

Latvian here. 1) Alice was right. Kissing as a greeting is uncommon. 2) In hot weather iced americanos are advertised on many coffeeshops. So in these days it's not uncommon. 3) Sundays are a time where offices, post and banks are closed. Some restaurants are closed too, but everything else works, however they close earlier than usual. 4) In capital city we have free restrooms in supermarkets etc, but in other places in capital city it's paid. Once you're out of capital city it varies a lot. In gas stations restroom is usually free all around the country. 5) Our national soft drink is not made of milk whey. 6) You have to pay for water. Fun fact - the tap water in capital city is not drinkable, but outside of it it can be or can not. Best to always ask locals about the quality of it.

[@tomsrudzitis4942]

Another Latvian here and about the tap water i would not neccesarily say that thats true. I at least work at a hedgehog in the fog, bar/restaurant and if someone asks for a glass of tap water we give it for free, but indeed if you do not specify we will give you a bottled water which does cost. But even in other places i just always ask for tap water and i havent had to pay for it. At bars at least the tap water is clean, because we use it for coctails as well, so it cannot be undrinkable. And the tap water in Riga is not undrinkable everywhere, in the city center yes, but outside of it it can be fine. Depends on the location.

In Ukraine, particularly in Odesa, before the war: Everything works from 10.00 -22.00 every day. There is no rest and breaks. Maybe 1 day a year 1 January, because people are simply too drunk. Restaurants and clubs used to work till the last customer. We adore cold coffee. There is a lot of coffee spots with broad menus of cold coffee beverages. But yes, we drink hot tea whole year. We kiss on cheeks with sb who we like ))) And smile towards them too. There is no polite smile in Ua. When ukrainians try to make a polite smile it is miserable and little scary😂 We weren't taught to do that. Restrooms are not enough. So when you find one in your needy moment you usually do not pay attention on the price 😅 Weird thing for foreigners is salo, ofc. It's those white part of bacon but not cooked and very, very fat)) Milk kakao is yammi. In Odesa you have to pay for everything, but if you are a pretty girl you are an always ask for an exception, just for you and the waiter does them thousands during the day 😂

Swedish person here: 1. We usually don't greet with a kiss, if you did most people would probably be surprised. But if it's an older person you've known since before, you might get a kiss on the cheek. 2. We don't particularly drink iced americanos, but we do drink cold drinks when it's hot. We love coffee though, so we buy anything that contains coffee all year round. 3. Things usually aren't closed on Sundays, it's exactly as the swedish girl said. 4. In a lot of places you do have to pay for the bathroom. But sometimes in shopping malls you can go for free. And at gass stations it's free. At cafés, if you're a customer you can go for free and sometimes even if you aren't a costumer. 5. Never tried a soft drink with milk whey, not sure if we have anything like that? But we probably do 6. Tap water is always free and even other drinks come with the meal a lot of the time

German chef here: whether the tap water costs money is up to the owner. Most of the time, the cost is justified by the associated service. A waiter has to take and deliver the order, the bartender has to make the drink, and a waiter has to serve it.

As a Belgian I can say that the 3 kisses are ONLY for special occasions such as a birthday or on New Year’s Eve. Me personally I greet close friends with a hug and even then only when I feel like it. If it’s someone I just met I just nod. That’s for the Dutch part btw, Belgium has also a part where they speak French and also a small part that speaks German. We Flemish (our Dutch accent) people are naturally reserved so we will not quickly touch someone when we don’t know the person. :3

As a Belgian from the French speaking part I can say that I've never done 3 kisses, it's only one (maybe the older people do it)

[@tephrafalls6321]

I find the whole kissing a stranger on the cheek depends on what people you meet, the friends you are with, the type of people they are. I used to go out with this friend group, and when a stranger was introduced, it was cheek kisses all around. For some, however, it's still weird, for example it is never really done in the work place.

[@Stroopwafe1]

Funny, because as a Dutch person, 3 kisses is hugely common, though I would say only for the older generation. But at any family gathering or something like that; be prepared for your family to require 3 kisses per person

[@caroland6770]

I got this video recommended and was surprised to see mykoreandic in it, I've been following him for months!

[@linav7705]

I am not Swedish but Norwegian, so there is cultural similarity. It's not really common to give kisses when greeting. But we know what it means and usually just go along with it if people with other background do it. Even if we find it slightly uncomfortable (when you are not used to it) because we are 'trained' to be tolerant and polite almost no matter what😅. Also in Norway pretty much everything is closed on sundays (and it closes earlier on saturday). There are regulations deciding if you are allowed to keep stores etc open on sundays. So that seems to be a difference between Sweden and Norway here. But the rest seems to be quite similar in both countries.

[@herrbonk3635]

Most stores were closed on sundays in Sweden too, and closed earlier on saturday. This was the normal case all the way into the early 1980s, when it started to change (yes, I'm old).

Latvian Man Here, 1} Kissing as a greeting is uncommon to Strangers and Men, me personally i greet everyone with a handshake... even Women since its a formal way of greeting someone, but i notice that alot of girls who are friends greet eachother with kisses in hugs so i think thats more of a girls type thing, i have never kissed someone as greeting, only like hugged family as greeting. 4) In About every city... in Stores and Public places the rest room is free, you can just walk in and use restroom, i believe that only on like Border theres pay toilets, but besides that ive never seen a pay toilet in latvia, only in germany, and its very human to go out and take a piss in the bushes or forest or somewhere private where no one can see. (dont piss on someone elses property) 5) Our National Drink is Balsam, who wouldve guessed that our national drink is alcohol.... knowing that we are the heaviest drinkers in the world (x2 more and heavy than the irish) 6) If you went into a Resturant just for water... some give you water, some dont (the more luxury ones dont)... but if you are Ordering something and ask for water, its free & you can go into like Gyms and some other public places and they will give you good water for free (non-tap water), and you can bring your own water to resturants... so if you cant get water in a resturant for free, just go to like a Gym, ask for water and then return to that resturant.

[@prageruwu69]

i was gonna say that we do have lots of shops closed on sundays in sweden but yeah she might be right about that only being a thing in larger cities. i've never lived in a big city and most shops (except a couple grocery stores) were always closed on sundays.

[@cecile436]

I'm wondering where the belgian girl is from. I'm belgian and commonly, it's just one kiss on the cheek. Three is only for like "happy new year" or stuff like that, so on very rare occasions. In France you have to find out how many it is in the specific region you're in as it varies a lot. When I meet a french person, I just ask them how many it is for them. As for the shops... Not all shops are closed on Sunday. Some are open a half day, like Sunday morning, some are closed on another day. It depends. I think the only obligation is that there is at least one day closed each week. For the water thing... I know in Sweden, anywhere where they sell alcohol, they have to give free water. I think that's a very good thing. For Belgium and Germany, I think if one asks for water to like take some medication or because someone is feeling bad, mostly people will give some. But otherwise, I think you have to pay for water.

In Finland I think the law changed a few years back that you're actually allowed to charge for tap water if it's all they drink. But if they order any other drink with their meal then the tap water will be free. And still not all places charge for tap water even if that's legal now.

1. The Finns would rather respect social distance than kiss on the cheek. You just wave your arm and say something like "hei", "moi", "terve" or "päivää". I could kiss a nice girl if I feel romantic. 2. A typical Finnish coffee is a hot brewed coffee with milk or cream in all seasons. 3. Finland is a very secular society and nowdays practically all the shops can be open on Sundays, Christmas and Easter if it is economically profitable for shop keepers. There's no law against it and the last restrictions were removed in 2009.

​@@Ragedaonenlonely Right. And in some countries (such as the Mediterranean and Balkan ones) people are not so reserved, suspicious, and they are more open with people they don't know... It's not that one thing is better over the another, although the psychological effects could be discussed and depression and sociopathy could be brought into the topic... And sure, in those countries that "waste their time" they actually don't look through a spyhole while waiting for a neighbor to get into apartment - in order not to come across them... And they don't do their best not to cross their eyes with other passengers on the tram during the day which they would compensate later during the weekend by getting highly intoxicated by beer and vodka, and suddenly becoming "very friendly and loud".

In Switzerland I just really needed to pee and 2 CH at the train station was just so much for my Brazilian currency, i was so mad at that at this point cause in Brazil we would never! cut for when I actually met my Swiss bf and he just sneakily jumped over it 🤡

HR 🇭🇷 - 1. In Croatia it is normal for people to greet with cheek kiss 2 times and 3 times if it's orthodox family, although it is becoming rarer and rarer. 2. Never saw an iced Americano here in Croatia, doesn't mean that there isn't any. 3. Same as Latvia, Almost everything is closed on Sundays and most places have a shorter working schedule on Saturdays. 4. Only places where you need to pay for restrooms is where tourist attractions are, if you are randomly somewhere in the middle of Croatia restrooms are going to be free. 5. Never saw Rivella nor Ayran, we do have kaymak tho'. National drink for Croatia would be rakija lol. 6. Same as Sweden, tap water is free everywhere, you can ask for tap water even in bakery.

[@vadym8713]

6. Kefir would be the closest to Ayran, KAymak is different (more like butter with salt) I really like it.

If it would be for free all the drug addicts would be living inside the restrooms. I rather have to pay 50 cent to 1 euro to have a clean and safe toilet visit. But most gas station in Sweden (where I am from), Finland and Estonia have free toilets. So it is really not a problem for me. :)

Many times at supermarkets in Spain I've seen people on the queue to pay, at 9:59 PM, and when it was their turn to pay, it was already 10 PM so the cashier told them "sorry, I'm not allowed to sell that, it's 10 o'clock" and the costumers' faces "what!!! You kidding!?" "Not kidding, it's just the law"

@@kame9 Not true generally. At 10 PM you CANNOT buy alcohol in Spain, even if you were there before 10 PM. Maybe you were lucky one day, but that was against the law. I've seen myself what I told several times in different supermarket chains (Carrefour, Mercadona, Consum...)

In Romania we kiss on the cheek as greeting, we do not hug. Hugging is lot more personal than kissing.

[@heesomething]

I'm Asian, but I live in the middle east, which is really different from Korea, China etc. In the middle east it is something really REALLY commun to kiss your friends or relatives on the cheeks and hug them when greeting them, so it's just depends on where EXACTLY do you live in Asia. And to be honest, I thought that this was something wierd in Europe 😂 So you guys must know that ASIA ISN'T A COUNTRY IT IS A CONTENT!

Here in Czechia, mostly only your grandma is doing that cheek kiss greeting or some more...let's say rural girls from villages, mostly from Moravia region or generally eastern regions of our republic. So it can happen, but it's not literally common in these days and it's confusing even for me, I never know how to react to that, it's always unexpected like ticket inspector in a tram or something. 😀
