Things that SHOCKED ME about LIFE IN EUROPE..

[@Borry0613]

I grew up in Eastern Europe and I live in France. - About the birthdays, I think it's normal because as a birthday person inviting people you get to choose where, what and with who and if you celebrate at all. Normally you would have more or less control over how much you spend. But you only have your birthday once per year and if you have to pay a little every time to organise someone else's birthday it all amounts to the same thing or even more. It's also seen as a point of pride, sort of, to pay for your guests (not only in case of birthdays but any special occasion). Most people stop celebrating birthdays out with friends after their mid 20s anyway, I think. Only the big ones like 30, 40, 50. Otherwise at home with family. The last birthday I ever celebrated out inviting friends was 22. - "À propos" is a French expression (2 words technically) and that is how you say it (silent s) in Bulgaria as well, even though it's rare. - Thermometer in the armpit is the most common in Europe. This might be just a German thing ? - The type of toilets mentioned are rather rare. 😀 As Janik said, only in older buildings. - Suppositories are rare for adults. This is fun, please do a part 2 !

Me encantaaaaaaan! Se ven super felices y amo como Janik mira a Joss🥹

[@raisinette35]

Oh Joss, what are we going to do with you? 😂Bidets are VERY common here in Spain. Yes, you can regulate the temperature just like a bath or a sink, and it is a convenient way to wash up without needing a full bath or shower, rather like washing your hands! I hope sinks are not a culture shock too!!! you can sit facing the tap, or away from it, but it is VERY convenient for hygiene after a poop, during the menstrual cycle, pre and post marital relations, and as Janik discovered, for washing stinky feet! Bathing a puppy or handwashing stockings or underwear are other possible uses, and I truly would not want to be without mine!

[@elenachc7188]

It sounds amazing hahahahaha but for me as a Mexican I feel strange with the concept of using it, here we wash all your bodies and that's all hahahaha but now that I know it I want to probe one I😂

[@nolimittolearning4414]

In England we treat the birthday person

[@JulietaCampos]

Tienen que ir a Japón y probar los bidets de allá que son automáticos. Es increíble.

[@joannunemaker6332]

It's great seeing you both. I enjoyed this video.😊❤

[@gabrielaolmedo6458]

Ahh me encantan, me han hecho reír mucho, y se me hizo muy muy muuuuuy raro lo del termómetro y el supositorio jajajaja estoy igual que Joss, y las caras de Janik jajajaja muy bien video

[@francaisavecrodrigue]

" apropos " is french but the spelling change is "à propos" the "s" is also silent but we don't use it a lot to say "by the way" we prefer use " au fait ( prononciation = o fèt ) or d'ailleurs ( prononciation = dayeur )

[@itsleslieley]

This is so funny, please go around and ask people about their last use of suppositories please lol

[@kellydev]

When it's your birthday here (Ireland ) friends & family woyod never allow you to pay for your birthday meal, it would never happen!!! Also we measure our temperature in armpit. We would never use phypostries unless we had hemmoroids😂 I get that you find these weird because they are !

[@V100-e5q]

Suppositories have the advantage that the "pill" has not to go through the stomach. The stomach has one of the most hostile (acidic) environments to be able to break down food and also bacteria. So pills going down there must be protected to survive without change of their composition. That is not necessary in the intestine because there only water and chemicals, as in the "pill", are taken out. And the substances go directly into the circulation. So there are certain conditions when that way is more effective. Because the protective substances for normal pills have to go through the digestive system (all stages!) without being absorbed by the body.

[@arjabu7936]

Ya los extrañaba 🎉

[@matildecasula7329]

So I'm from Italy (Sardinia) and paying for your friends on your birthday and inviting them to dinner it's like a way to show that you care about them and you're grateful that they've been there another year. Lol I get why it doesn't make sense for people from other countries but we really love to share and make people feel involved in our lives and loved on our birthday. The ones we invite to our party will bring us a birthday gift so it's a way to pay back😊 here in Sardinia some people insist on paying even if they invited you to go out to eat or drink even if it is a completely normal day😂

[@frankygiannoni2294]

1) I'm from Milan and here for birthdays there's not a strict rule. When I invited my friends for birthdays I have never paid, but it could be different in other parts of Italy. 2) In Italy every house has a bidet, you don't find it in public places (restaurants, stations, airports, offices, etc.) for obvious reasons. 3) In Italy we measure the temperature putting the thermometer under the armpit, but I remember, when I was a kid, that the doctor once asked my mother to measure the temperature from the anus (not forever, just that time) because it's more precise. 4) Sometimes suppositories are necessary, it's not frequent to use them (probably some suppositories that existed in the past have been replaced by pills), but from time to time, depending on the sickness, a doctor can still prescribe them.

[@fionaz2149]

But „apropos“ doesn't have the same meaning as „a propósito“. We're using this in different contexts

[@mmelanoma]

I dont mind more poop vids hahaha. I had to google the little poop tray! You learn something new every day

[@MCHkid13]

Come to Japan! There are many bidets here. They call it a washlet though and it’s life changing. Heated seats too. 🤩

[@vero_rovedd]

Que bonito verlos de nuevo ❤🥹

[@wtsalive8210]

Medicine for the anus has advantages. 1.: The active ingredients be more active and faster as you take a pill. 2.: In some cases a pill doesn’t work properly, because the stomach is blocked 3.: The adverse effects are lower due to the substrates

[@elizavillatoro6063]

You guys look so happy and beautiful together. I wish you guys a happy new year 🎉

[@andreamatecsa8375]

Regarding the poop plated toilets: it is very usual in older buildings/establishments. I live in Munich and they still have those for example at schools!

[@ilhuicatlamatini]

LOL! Whaaaaat?! 😂omg, I learned so much and couldn’t stop laughing along with you Joss

[@TheEulerID]

That whole video went in a very strange direction. It was almost felt like it was turning into a fascinated obsession.

[@michelledelrio3124]

Si que son cosas raras jaja. Creo que fue un video muy embarazoso para Yanik en todo el video, su rostro, estuvo rojo rojo😂

[@mirysick]

I love bidets!!! And I'm very Mexican. My first encounter with one was in Egypt and yes, it makes a total difference!!!

[@ferromero326]

I stare at my poop even in ordinary toilets ajajaja it tells a lot about how your digestive system is working

[@MrTjonke]

Apropo, but spelled Apropå, exists in Swedish as well.

[@MusiacterJoe1188]

I spent a summer studying in Austria and almost every toilet had that poop holding plate thing, and keeping it clean was such a nightmare. Always had to flush like 5 times because the amount of water wasn’t enough for the legion of turds 😩

[@publicminx]

in this case its a matter of the waterflow, not the construction of the toilette. an advantage of plates is btw. that it does less splash than if it falls into the water ...

[@angiie008]

3:15 I live in NL, and I've seen that type of WC haha it was a shock for me too 😂! I also thought it would be probably easier to take any sample if you needed to test it 😂😂

[@flowerscarit34]

Beautiful couple

[@publicminx]

a bidet is rather outdated. in Germany (but also in many Western/global countries) many (more and more) have a bit more expensive toilettes which warms the seat and have jet systems integrated (which can be setup for different modes - and u have also usually a remote control additionally). it is not standard in every house hold but part of the diversity of toilettes nowadays ...

[@gsgill649]

Well that was extra fun talking about poop and buttholes! We should do this again sometime. The way I understand the use of suppositories is when you have nausea and/or vomiting and you don't have another way to get medicine on board such as an IV line like in a hospital.

[@matiasehren7451]

In The Netherlands is the same with many house toilets

[@-----REDACTED-----]

For fever measurements the armpit is too unreliable. Anus indeed is most reliable and accurate. Under the tongue is a decent compromise, so that’s the one we use in our house.

[@eriicute]

🤣🤣🤣🤣 ahora si me hicieron reír! Lo del termómetro me dejó sorprendida 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@alessamiridis5476]

My grandma's apartment in germany had a toilet like that. It was very weird for me...there was also no lock on the bathroom door... Toilets here in mexico qre not like that, and ALWAYS have locks

[@dondeebb1379]

Very Funny video! I’m in California and We got a bidet during covid and it was the best decision ever. The only thing now is I cant go anywhere else unless they also have a bidet lol!

[@Pesett1]

Apropo (jaja)... se ven muy felices! Saludos!!!

[@luisamuroquesada6435]

En suiza hacen lo mismo con lo de los cumpleaños, y yo como Mexicana 🙄🙄, de verdad que no lo entiendo. Y lo de tomarse la temperatura así, yo no veo que sea común aquí en Suiza, pero si hay muchas cosas que como latino, no las entiendes 😂😂

[@Saretta2893]

Omg I hate apropos toooooo ahahhaha so funny that finally someone said that

[@gipu9208]

In Argentina if you cellebrate, if it's with family, you also pay. Maybe with friends each one pays it's own food.

[@shekibena]

Ahaha se pasan 😂

[@GCordero-gs4dk]

In mexico in some restaurants your meal is free if its your birthday. But you have to show your id.

[@victoriaabarca9461]

Lol, when was the last time you wore one of those?😂

[@juliana160992]

For a lot of these things I thought I was the only one 😅 the stuff with the birthday bothers me a lot 😑 to the point that I stopped celebrating my birthday because of it... I usually either travel with Marvin or we go alone eat somewhere nice 😅 And with the Bide... it is so altmodisch!! Since years we have a wayyy better version and it is a hygenische Dusche... it is like a little hand shower that it's directly next to the toilet and you use it after you are done with your business (because it has so much pressure, you actually don't need paper 🤯

[@nextlevelconsciousnesswithLS]

I'm a Swede living in Mexico and "apropå" is a Swedish word :)

[@crissibrat]

Me encanta verlos, pero no me encanta que se pongan en situaciones incómodas just because! No vale la pena, no siembren eso en su relación, si es gracioso que encuentren los distingos de los mexicanos y los alemánes pero hay una línea muy delgada que puede afectar su relación. Saludos muchachos!

[@deloc2914]

Apropos is french and we use it. Where did you get the poop staring one? And temperature taken in the but😅 it’s ridiculous… ok, I think you are talking about Yanicks family

[@chubbybunny123]

Estoy tentada con lo del bidet 😂 aca en argentina es re comun y no me imagino una vida sin

[@fionaz2149]

Amo sus videos🥰

[@c_wanderluster]

Apropos exists also in Romanian. Different spelling: apropo, because s in Romanian is always read, but it is pronounced the same😊

[@fionaz2149]

Part 2🥺😍

[@rsm5627]

There are modern toilet bidets like the one Janik described in Japan. There are muslim showers which are also good for cleaning and moving around the water spray. They are more common in middle east etc.. Suppository formulations are absorbed faster and bypass the stomach so less side effects. Most of the world still prefers oral though as more convenient and less messy. You can take temperature from the ear if you want a more accurate alternative than underarm.

[@zunnita]

My in-laws have that kind of toilet 🚽 where you see your poop or your poop looks at you ?

[@l0velyr0cknr0ll]

Como Mexicana Musulmana I agree, the bidet will change your life 😂 Imagine getting pee or poo on your hand and just wiping it with toilet paper....

[@paulapierini1019]

From Argentina: yes, you use paper AND the bidet. BUT using the bidet doesn't make your butt sterile, just cleaner.

[@KarlaMarianna92]

Omg lol 😂

Los supositorios se usan en México principalmente para los bebés.

[@elinorbaker]

Apropo suena a popó 😅

[@rossicastellanos1333]

Omg😅😊

[@lindylee1139]

This video needs a warning -beware don’t watch at dinner time. Lol.

[@Raiaramis24]

All of those three last ass things are not common here in Estonia, which is heavily influenced with german culture. But those are not.

[@aliciapatlan7844]

Jajajaja cómo que el Cumpleañero paga ! No se vale😰🤭

[@felixnobauer769]

Quite an uncomfortable video to watch

[@dianasullivan3285]

Why are your videos so old, it's only just come on my KZbin, are you not making anymore around England not just london

[@morenitamargarita1]

Seriously, u have to pay for everyone? Oh no no y no

[@nolimittolearning4414]

What? Anal probing for your temperature. Vets do that with dogs 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@deweyzapf4765]

Usually like your vlogs but the toilet talk is weird etc. Not your best blog.
