So I'm heading back to Japan from Italy right now.

I was in Italy for just a few days for work, and while I was there, I recorded this video on culture shocks.

It wasn't really culture shocks.

It was Mawr exciting experiences and things that were new to me in Italy.

But I realized I may not have recorded a proper introduction for it.

So let's call this the intro and jump right into it.

It is 6:30 p.m. We have finished up our work for the day.

So now we're heading into the town to do a little exploration on since we're going out and exploring the city and I don't want to just do a vlog, What we're gonna do today is we're gonna talk about some of the tiny little culture shocks that I've had since coming to Italy.

Now, a little bit of a disclaimer on this I've only actually spent three days in Italy, so these aren't much of anything at all along.

What s with all these cars around him reminds me that one of my first, that right there That was one of my first really big culture shocks.

I don't know if you saw that, but there were three people on that scooter and not a single one of them had a helmet.

I was actually gonna talk about a totally separate culture shock.

I've seen so many cases since arriving in Italy.

People just zipping down the road on a motorcycle er scooter with no helmet.

Now that being said, in all fairness, the majority of people do wear helmets.

I'm just surprised to see any who Don't look at these beautiful buildings.

I just saw a family drive by on one scooter Father driving in the front, mother sitting in the back.

And she was holding a white guys.

Quick interjection.

It is 6.

43 in the morning here in Naples station.

Hello, everybody.

My name is I'm an Italian actor from Milano.

Just taught me that the whole no helmets thing it is mostly like enough or the right?

Yeah, in Naples.

So that's not all of Italy.

No, no.

You can see people to three people going moto.

No, l'm.

It's a crazy.

I saw a lot of people like a father child and mother.

Yeah, it's pretty typical, but north.

It's different.

Okay.

Wow, Thank you for teaching us.

You know, small details as well.

Like like the roads, the cobblestone roads.

That's not so much of a culture.

Shock is just one of those things that I'm enjoying and admiring.

But we don't get those back in Canada, and we definitely don't have them in Japan.

So cobblestone roads.

I like thes e.

But life's all about some of the details, right?

So also a dog on a balcony.

But on the note of cars, there was one that caught my eye.

And it was the Italian approach to parking that we saw when we arrived in Rome on the first day, right off the bat, I will tell you that I'm super impressed.

Impressed, impressed.

The right word.

I'm impressed with their parking.

Those cars were just parked there like that.

Same with over here.

Just this part.

Another one that did give me a bit of a chocolate, especially considering the approach to it in Japan is smoking.

And of course, people smoke all over the place.

But in Italy, it's like a soon as they get off the train on the platform.

A lot of them are just lighting up a cigarette coming back to what I was saying.

Obviously in Japan is not strange to see people smoking on the streets.

They do it, but it's really sectioned off.

In general, Japan actually has like smoking areas e on there, so friendly.

I I will say that though on I guess the last one was watching people run across the train tracks.

I could just e I don't care for the morning after an effective and that's right the reason signs there that said Don't go across the tracks But we've already seen that the signs aren't always followed.

I love that, especially coming from living in Japan, where rules in general are really strictly followed and enforced.

To come to a place that's a little bit more relaxed and by a little bit.

I'm definitely understating is really refreshing, like I really I feel can just stretch my legs and breathe here like as a light reference point that this is my first time in Europe.

You may have been to Europe.

You may have been to Europe before you might live in Europe right now, So if you do, definitely let me know what you thought about these.

If these air normal where you're from, if these air strange to you No helmets, no helmets.

Even if you're not from Europe.

Time in in the comments below and let me know what you think about how dark this is.

Let me know what you think about all of this.

All that being said, I do hope that you guys have enjoyed this one.

I know that I really enjoyed having the chance to share it with you.

I wouldn't be surprised if more culture shocks popped up on my way home like they probably will if you did enjoy it.

Definitely give that like, button some love.

If you're new to the channel, I would love to have you And, you know, I will see you again real soon.
