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

Well it was nice to see a Latvian person in these types of videos, it's not often that happens, very proud of my country 🇱🇻💪

I am from Ukraine and I very adore Sweden! Ukraine and Sweden forever!🇺🇦💞🇸🇪

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.

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.

The hug and kiss on the cheek aren't common just in Europe, in Latin America is pretty common, some African countries as well, but yeah could be weird

[vitalvolvol]

As a Ukrainian I can say that restaurants are open on Sunday and many shops are open as well but close earlier.
Also I would not say that greet with cheek kiss is very common in Ukraine. Usually girls do that but it depends. Boys greet with a handshake.

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 😂

Love Dilara whose way of speaking is so gentle for my ears

[Verbalaesthet]

Haha, so funny to see Mykoreandic as a guest on this channel.

[siddharthdixit]

Can we just take a moment out to appreciate how calm the voice was of the girl from Switzerland 😊

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.

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

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

[Illjwamh]

"Not in Germany."

That made me laugh

[kopua]

OMG GUYS LATVIA LATVIA AS LATVIAN IM SHOCKED I SEE LATVIA SOMEWHERE

[zzz]

We definitely don't greet with a kiss in Germany :D And pretty sure Sweden is same. People will be weirded out if you do that.

[caroland]

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

[Aniram]

It's nice to see "My Korean Dictionary" here! 😄 Just him with all these girls huh? Wonder if we'll see them in his next shorts. 😊

[Roseim.Irylic]

I am Asian, and I once received a hand kiss from a French coworker. I was freaked out fr, but I think that's so wholesome and very sweet. Nice experiences from other cultures
