21 Mistakes And Traps To Avoid When Visiting These European Countries, Revealed By This TikTok Account

That's for many countries too! Make sure you learn about the water in the country you are traveling!

Greet shopkeepers in ANY country!!!!!

Also don't do this anywhere else, like the "Reeper Bahn" in Hamburg

I haven't been anywhere in Europe where they bring the bill without asking for it! Is this American thing?

I hope they bring some cheese too😊

Opposite story here: I was in Italy with my husband couple of years back ( we are American). And I ordered latte (glass of milk, because I can't drink coffee and just wanted milk with my brioche bun) and my husband ordered cappuccino, to my surprise they brought me a latte( as a coffee drink. They thought that I wanted American version of latte and not a glass of milk.

Common con.

This is true of anywhere I've been, but the Germans are by far the nicest about mistakes, in my experience. Italy is probably second?... Even my 20 basic phrases are a huge help, since one is "I'm sorry, I don't speak your language"!

Why isn't this everywhere?

And why the difference is not explained?

The fluffy kind still tastes pretty amazing

Also in many countries this is illegal but they keep doing it!

Also, Dutch people can sense bicycles coming, even if they can't hear them. This is an evolutionary trait, which means Dutch people can cross a road without too many problems, even if there are millions of bikes on that road. Do not try to emulate them. You don't have the genes. (;))

Why dont they just have a bidet? This is the area where modern plumbing was invented and they made tiny waste lines?

A lot of European cities have a lot of cobblestones - they're old. I don't understand why anyone wears high heels in general, but definitely not if you plan on walking any distance. I choose comfort every time

Agree with using the ATM inside. While in Barcelona, a friends ATM card was 'swiped"' and they were able to take $1300.00 from her account. It was an 'outside' ATM.

Also worth noting that the posh up market looking fish and chip shops are going to absolutely rip you off, find a dated, greasy looking place that looks like its been there years, it'll be half the price and twice as good

Travel as light as possible. If you can, bring a larger backpack, it's so much easier to travel. Most hotels have soaps, shampoos and hair dryers; even coin operated washer and dryers.

Personally i use Google maps and in some countries it's very well informed so it's telling you what time is the next bus or when they stop! Not in every country though

No no no. I am parisian and the best crepes are the ones you get from actual creperies (restaurants specialized in crepes). There are lots of them in Montparnasse area. Paris doesn't have street food culture. The street food in Paris are for tourists, sorry!

OK. This totally depends on who you're with. I play a word game tourney on a team mainly consisting of Yorkshire folk. We tell LOTS of American Revolution jokes. Nothing insensitive. The war was over 200 years ago, for heaven's sake! I had relatives die too, but time moves on.

It's not we don't find them funny, it's just 99% of UK people just don't really care about it, as others have said it's just not a big deal for us. Say the words football, 1966, and is it ever coming home you will get a bigger reaction from people

Who goes to England and makes jokes about the American revolution????

I never even geard of this - like ever - Londoners or other places - nada

Most Brits don't know jack about the American Revolution and don't give a single f*k. The response you'd get is more "why does the bloody yank think that I care?"

People in the UK really don't care or even get taught much in schools about anything to do with the American Revolution

We don't care. Really do not care. Reminding Americans of August 24, 1814 might sit them back down though.

Nobody cares about the American revolution except Americans

You can have the revolution, though. Didn't do you much good either way, did it

Why would anyone give s s**t? It's not the joke's content people will care about, it's some loudmouth yank wasting our time with unfunny s**t

no-one actually cares, we wont get your joke because we actually do not care.

I think the Brits are more tongue-in-cheek about that. You'd probably met a weird one

Londoners find most things funny. It's not hard to see why this was voted into the minus...

Are you kidding? No one gives a s**t about the American Revolution

No one would be interested, certainly not offended

I am English and lived there for quite some time and I have NEVER heard a single joke about the American Revolution or heard any American talking about it let alone joke about it.

Like I asked my dad once: Do they have a Fourth of July in England? He says 'no, I don't think so, chuckle, chuckle.' Then I say 'what comes between the 3rd and the 5th?'

too bad but a fellow American will and maybe some Europeans

See I lived in England in the 80's. I found Brits to be the ones making the jokes. Calling the Revolution a temper tantrum. So there is that as well.

this is because it's not a subject over here. Just like thanksgiving or Orang county. We don't have a feeling about it so are not invested in jokes about it. It's not funny because it's boring to us.

I got called a Colonist in 2 different pubs😆

Like a Yankee (Northerner) going to the American South and bringing up the Civil War.
