hey guys welcome back to 400 reacts today we're going to be checking out a video titled
weird things italians do and uh it is from tia taylor uh i did a reaction video for her before

and i'm scared to do that but i will do it for you guys obviously i'm doing the italian series
and right now we're just doing some calm italian videos not nothing too deep in the history
because i want to get you guys here before i dive deep into the more technical and uh italian
related stuff 100 so if you're not subscribed please do subscribe i also have another channel
talking about me moving to europe so i will link that for you guys uh in the comment section so
you guys will see the channel my instagram all the social medias that you guys can go check them out
and uh those will be all in the uh comment section so it's gonna be easier for you guys instead of
just reading through the description so um we're gonna check out this video so without further ado
guys let's get right into that video hi youtube and welcome back to my channel last week i made
a video entitled the weird things that americans do you guys seem to love it matter of fact you
requested that i do another video i should check that out italians do so really quickly let's
go through all of the weird things i've noticed living here in italy that you guys you italians do
italian breakfast it's like italians eat cookies and cake for breakfast literally
it's a small american child's dream to live in italy because guess what
this of course your little cup of espresso but next to that cookies biscuits or any type of
sugared baked pastry in america breakfast is the most important meal of the day pancakes cereal
eggs bacon like a big hearty bread here in italy it's like three biscuits in a cafe
lunch and dinner of course if breakfast is weird of course lunch and dinner have
to be weird too but on a different level for every italian a proper italian lunch
and dinner they're gonna have primo pot piato secondo piato fruit sauce pictures and a coffee
guys guys guys guys um if there's any italian watching this which there probably is
um could you guys find me a video or something with italian food or something like that so i
could actually get a more in-depth view of what's going on because i'd actually prefer that i'd
actually want to see that like i i appreciate her talking about it but i'd actually want to see some
pictures if you know what i'm trying to say to you you know get me all more you know i just cannot
keep up i don't know how they manage to eat so much and stay so skinny then you have the coffee
then you have this thing that they call a matzah cafe which is just okay you can stop talking
why don't you just put him in the video he's a great guy he's trying to help you out i think
you should put him in the video that would be a lot better for you because he sounds
like he's italian so it would be better to have him directly in the video you know so
in in the case you make a mistake like you know he's giving you the corrections he's italian so
i hope i'm not sure i'm just you know thinking nah he seems pretty chill though
which is where they drink alcohol called digestivo that are supposed to help you digest the food that
you just ate and my opinion is just another excuse to drink alcohol but whatever in america you don't
do all of that if you want to have lunch you make yourself a knife sandwich
and you eat it you make yourself a nice plate of pasta some tacos eat it you have a nice
salad and you're done that is a portion of food but italians have a full course meal every time
maybe not if you're a student living alone but if you're living with your parents
that's how it goes the day okay maybe it's not so weird that italians use the bidet but it's more
weird that the rest of the world doesn't um what is the bidet for those of you watching and don't
know it's a little thing that's next to the toilet where you wash your butt after using the bathroom
italians find it strangely extremely weird that nobody else does it when we went back to america
no no no no no no there are other europeans actually doing that stuff man i watched that
in a video before okay and i asked a lot of y'all and y'all were like yeah
it's that thing that does that thing and i was like oh that thing that oh okay okay
okay so a lot of europeans actually do use that i'm not don't quote me on it in terms of the
entire europe using that but i do know that other europeans are exposed to that major key right but
um obviously i've never used that before and i don't think that's something i might ever use
all right enrico came to my house obviously i live in america there was no good day and enrico
just couldn't handle it i guess every time he used the bathroom he followed it up with a shower the
guy took a shower every time he used the bathroom once a day in their hands and not just their hands
the time speak with their whole body they're going to throw their heads around and their whole chest
around if you want to get the planet across and in italian you really got to use the whole gestures
to get it across and that can be a little bit intimidating to a newcomer because you know
we aren't quite so expressive personal space it's just his personal space kind of doesn't
even exist here in italy if you're walking on the sidewalk if you're sitting on the bus
you can always expect people to be just like this on you and even when you're
like first meeting people she ain't never been to new york before then
we saw my personal space bro have you ever like i don't know i i think she probably
from one of those states man like you know like probably a florida or something like that but
not new york bro not personal space bro nah nah that nah like no way no no period but i do get
her point though um i do get it it's so common to you know do the little kiss kiss there's a lot of
contact and touching that just isn't really there in american culture and it's kind of confusing for
somebody that's been living here because at this point i'm used to just approaching people with a
kiss kiss when i'm meeting them american friend from florence came and i was meeting them okay it
was a friend of a friend that i was meeting for the first time right and when we went to go say
goodbye we both like kind of did this awkward like handshake kiss thing because we went to go do like
no it was like a hug kiss thing because we went to go give each other a hug but then we both want
to do the like italian two kiss but we started the two kiss on the wrong cheek and it was just
it was a hot that would that would be my advice to anybody like keep it real keep it 100 with
yourself man like if you're in italy do as the italians do if you're comfortable doing it because
i'm not going to force anybody to try to adapt to somebody's culture but i personally would try
to adapt but what i would try to say is do it with the italians the likely chance of making
a mistake with an italian it is this much right so the likelihood is that they would guide you
to where you need to go because obviously the way you speak obviously you're not italian so i think
they would guide you but when you're going to do it with an american you're an american living
in italy and then an american comes to visit you and you're trying to do that same italian culture
that no i don't think that's going to work out very well because both of you are going to feel
awkward because you're going to be looking at somebody like man this ain't you this ain't what
you do and that person is going to be looking at you like oh man you don't changed up you get what
i'm trying to say so you try to keep it on you try to keep it 100 like don't try to you know you know
mix the cultures if you know what i'm trying to say because that person is not living in italy and
it's kind of weird for them to conform if they're just visiting you you know an american but you you
hope you guys don't get what i'm trying to say another weird thing that italians do that might
only seem weird to us americans just like i said it was really weird that we americans basically
praise america praise our leaders go crazy over everything that is patriotic italians are the
exact opposite like italians italians love italy but they also hate italy as well like
i don't know the biggest critic of italy will be italians there's there's always something
negative they have to say about it if i for every positive thing that i say about italy
and italian will always be able to counter me with why i'm wrong or why it's not that
great i think personally for me um if i was an italian i think personally i would be on that
offense where i'd be critiquing the country because uh at times when you experience something
you're not necessarily the most appreciative of it and um you will be more exposed to the
fact that there can be more improvements to that particular situation so for me i think that as an
outsider it is going to be harder for you to criticize something especially if you've never
experienced it before so for the italians who have been experiencing it all their lives and
they don't know any worse they won't necessarily us be as appreciative as you are and i can go as
far as to give an example as rent rent in america you can pay like 2 000 for a decent apartment
and for a european they'd probably lose their mind to find out you paid that much but let's say
a european is paying like a thousand dollars in europe before rent they'd be like that is way too
expensive but if they take a trip down to america they're going to be like oh i need to be more
appreciative so they're going to rebel because they're not used to something being outrageous
but because we're not we're used to something being outrageous we're going to now cooperate
and we're going to be like oh my gosh this is amazing if you guys get what i'm trying to say
and so yeah you find a lot of times at times just complaining complaining complaining about
everything about emily how much they want to leave and blah blah blah and to me that's kind of weird
because you live in the fashion center of the world with the best food amazing club like climate
amazing geography amazing culture but all they do is complain about it but anyways those are just a
few of the weird things i've noticed italians do in everyday life i hope that you guys found this
video yeah that's that's for sure man that's for sure but i appreciate um her uh feedback
i just wish that she had added the pictures of the food so i would actually know what an
italian food looks like because i've never been to italy and um it would be awesome to know but
i see the video here um about america weird things americans do so i'm definitely going to likely
check that video out too in the future so i'll see how that goes but like i said man we out of here
man it was a beautiful video i totally enjoyed it and i hope you guys did too i'm out of here peace
