"Almost like Russia". My dude, you just made yourself 120+ million enemies.

[Starkiller]

As a Czech, hearing that "Eastern Europe is almost like Russia" just gets my blood boiling. Imagine if a foreign power invaded your country and occupied it for decades and then people say "Russian or Czech, whatever, it's the same thing".

We (logically) have much more in common our neigboring countries, including the "western" countries of Germany and Austria since we share a lot of common history and culture, than we do with Russia which is hundreads/thousands of miles away.

Sadly a lot of Western Europeans also think this but hopefully this mindset is changing in view of the current war in Ukraine.

[hansmarheim]

He-he😅! Saying eastern Europe is Russia is like saying Norway is Sweden. 😂😂😂 Or to ask to be hit very hard in the face😅.

Eastern Europe is like almost russian.. Tell me you are American without telling you are American.
Eastern European countries are different with their languages, cultures, traditions etc. And it's offensive, at least for me as Ukrainian to hear that we all are like russian or even the same.

Dude: "Oooh, yeah, Eastern Europe, that's basically Russia!"
Me: Ooo... Shut up, watch the video, then comment on things.
Girl in video: "They don't like it when you say it's basically Russia, that's very offensive."
Dude: "Ooh, aha.. well.... Nobody noticed that, did they?"
Comment section: "ARE YOU KIDDING ME!? "

Voice from Poland: Calling the Eastern part of Europe "belonging to Russia" is, at least for me, highly offensive. For example what is happening in Ukraine shows how Russia behaves towards the countries it wants to annex by force, violence and corruption. We, the eastern part of Europe, don`t want to have anything to do with Russia, we aren`t part of it and our history (of the countries that are there) speaks volumes about our REAL attitude towards toxic and aggressive Russia.

Eastern Europe is not like Russia. That is a common mistake. We never were like them, and we are not like them. You should learn more about this. You'll be surprised.

[sawkabigaj]

Also, Poland wasn’t a part of USSR. 🤦‍♀️ under control Ofc, but still separated country. U can look at the maps.

[CountessGemini]

I'm from Poland and I know that western countries often find it funny that we (and also Czechs and Slovaks) are so adamant about being called "central European" instead of "Eastern European". Some of the comments here can explain why it's so important to us.

[CurraptedGlitch]

Calling Eastern Europe basically Russia is like calling Greece Turkey, or Turkey Greece. Its offensive - I speak as a Greek :)

[jimmyincredible]

"Eastern Europe is almost russia"
"Belgium has the best beers"
...thats one way to get comments under your video...

[biancawichard]

Scandinavian and northern European people are very nice and NOT cold they are reserved but very kind once you know them

[TheXshot]

I'm from The Netherlands but been living in Poland for quite a few years. You'll be surprised how modern Poland is and realize it's not like Russia at all. It's Central Europe.

[jeffafa]

If you are rude in a restaurant, either to the personnel or other customers, you will definitely get kicked out. The customer isn't always king (or queen) here...

[sutej]

Scandinavia is only 3 countries, Sweden - Norway - Denmark, Finland and Iceland are together with the other 3 countries are part of the Nordics. Greenland and Faroe Islands belong to Denmark.

[dfordavid]

‘technically I think even Scandinavia is part of Europe’ didn’t know what I was getting myself into

[josephturner]

It's ok. You are American, we understand.

[omega]

From Poland:
Poland is not Eastern Europe, it's Central Europe

[kjk]

I am European with relatives in various European countries. I myself was born in southern Germany and have lived here most of my life. A few years ago, I was in a relationship with an US-American guy. So I visited Virginia where he lived. One of his neighbors got really excited saying: "I'm German!" So I started speaking to him. In German. He looked at me like I was from Mars 😂
Oh, and on the subject of "we no longer live like in the Middle Ages": Someone else in America asked me how we keep our food cold in Germany. So I said: "Fridge." And he was like: "I thought you don't have those." ... ???

In Denmark, the minimum wage is 22$ per hour for waiters even at McDonald's and after 8 hours the salary increases by 50% and rises to 100% after 11 hours of work. There are extra surcharges for work evening work, night between 22 - 06 is 100% surcharge, weekend, holidays and Sunday work there are surcharges of between 3 to 5$ extra per hour so a waiter for a fair wage in Denmark and therefore tippig is very rare. So, if a waiter works from 4 to 4 a.m. 12 on a weekend, the hourly wage will on average be at least $31 per hour plus holiday pay and pension.
