Culture Shock from Living in AUSTRIA? (Vienna)

View Comments

• Vienna is gorgeous 😍

  • Also incredibly dull and populated by miserable people.

• I think Vienna in particular and Austria 🇦🇹 in general is a place to work and study and if you are an individualistic person who really likes privacy and less interactions with people is gonna be a great place for you, it's not a place to socialize and make friends

  • I had the greatest time socializing in Austria and I am a very sociable southern European! Love Austrians. They are like the Germanic Italians!

  • It's a depressing place, akin to Germany.

  • @@sandorx4 First of all, really fucking rude thing to say about a place that people grow up in and spend their entire lives in. Second, not true at all. We might be a little different culturally, but one can have plenty of fun here as a young person. We have a lot of really cool public events and free third places to socialize here. There are cool bars, clubs, museums, concerts, theatres, cinemas, coffee shops, karaoke, escape rooms, a big amusement park, and great biking/hiking opportunities. I really don't know what more people want.

  • @@thechosenegg9340 "a little different"? Thanks for the laugh.

• As an Austrian I have to say it, on sundays (supermarkets are open from monday-saturday) you still can get your groceries at the big train stations like Praterstern, Westbahnhof and so on. And worse case, you can still order stuff. So I don´t know why one guy said he was starving during weekends. Obviously some things are different here compared to other countries and Austria is not into the 24/7 lifestyle. I have to agree when it comes to austrian man, unfortunately... It´s like pulling teeth. I deeply feel for the woman from Brazil. Austrian mentality is so different, I really hope she finds her happy place. Public transport is great in Vienna, outside of Vienna is a different story.

  • About the brazilian woman, I feel sorry for her too. I mean, I live in Vienna, I am very happy about it, and I hope it wont change! I appreciate quiteness, having my personal space, not having to listen to other peoples noises... I listen to music a lot, with my headphones on, no one can stop me with that ❤

    Imagine every country was like Brazil for example. That would be a true horror to all people that are introverted, socially akward, autistic, etc! I think its a good thing that countries are so diverse!

    But yeah, I feel very sorry for the Brazilian woman. Austria obviously just isnt right for her 😥 she seems really sad... I genuinely hope she finds her hapiness, whether it is in Austria or in some other country ❤

  • @@AureliaIlva same, I’m also introverted 😅 and I feel overwhelmed when I have to socialise all the time, or constantly hear strangers around me. Brazil or any culture like it would end me 🙈 I love that some people thrive in it and it’s lovely to see how they can connect with strangers so easily.

  • @@MsViolena Greek here, and I hate it when people constantly praise socialising with strangers. Why is that any good? For you who like it, no problem. But it's not something like the "essence of life". I am not an introverted person at all, yet it seems to me boring and a waste of time. It's better for me to spend time with a few deep friendships or alone.

  • @@AureliaIlvaexactly, when people have so much criticism about a country they should leave!

  • @@tinademesticha9457agree! Brazilians and Americans are known for superficial socializing, no depth, no follow up! They just say things to sound and look nice! Give me Austrians all day everyday!!!

• Vienna sounds like Germany generally. No surprise I guess. However, it does seem a bit more extreme.
  I wonder how Switzerland compares to both.

  • Austrians are different than germans and swiss , germans have more humor and enjoy life , i live in austria i dont like it. They are known for beeing grumpy , they are very hatefull and the NS Party in ww2 was even worse than in germany

• Interessante 🧐 ❤

• Not interested in relationships but this channel is such a fascinating observation of cross cultural relations and differences

  • Thanks - that's the goal 😁

  • @@DatingBeyondBorders Yes, seeing how people connect is a surprisingly penetrating topic into the psychology of a nation (such as the video about Sweden). Keep up the great work!

• My guy speak al balkan languages and kurdish wow
