Culture Shock from Living in ITALY? (Florence)

We interview foreigners on the streets of Florence, Italy to find out what are the biggest culture shocks they've experienced since moving to Italy when it comes to the mentality, the food and lifestyle itself. How are Italian people different from people in their country, why it's complicated to make friends in Florence and how living in Italy has changed them.

  • I love these Italy videos! please make more 😭😭😭😭😭😭 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥲🥲🥲

  • lmao I think I am this channel's biggest fan LOL hehehehe thank you so much for all these videos! muah! 😘

  • Finally someone mentions Americans dressing in PJs. As an American myself, it's crazy to me how people can follow influencers all day and not pick up any dress tips. Wal-Mart is a nightmare 😫

    • That’s the top thing I love in the US. I come from a country where you dress up, and now I’m so comfortable and relaxed. Nobody would care if I wore underpants on my head and it’s so freeing.

  • Unfortunately foreigners tend to always go to the same places when they come to Italy. In reality we must consider that in Italy there are 20 regions, all different from each other. There are different lifestyles, different dialects, different food, different climate etc. For each region. My suggestion is to go beyond the usual destinations, choose an area, a region and visit it calmly away from the most crowded areas, you will not be disappointed.

    • Yeah, for example, if you go to smaller Italian towns close to the Swiss boarder, such as Luino, life is way more different than life in Milan, Rome or Florence. Its not that great there and you see a lot of poverty.

  • Did anyone else notice the difference between Americans and others when they introduce themselves and where they came from? This is something I mentioned in another video thread.

    • That comes from how citizens of the USA view themselves. We are citizens of the State we reside in And we are citizens of the United States. So when you meet someone new in the US they will tell you the State they live in. If you meet a US citizen abroad they will name their State then US.

    • @@patraic5241 Bruh what if they say "I'm from Wyoming"... Now, I know about Wyoming and that it's in the US, but I guarantee my parents have NO IDEA lol

    • @@patraic5241 I'm sure there are reasons that make sense to fellow Americans but to non-Americans, that's like a very strange attitude. And I say this as your northern neighbour.

      If I meet someone in Canada and they ask where I'm from, I'll say I'm from Ontario, but not if I'm traveling abroad and a fellow traveler asked me where I'm from. I say I'm from Canada.

    • As an American.. I think that they name the state they are from is because America is so large and each region is very different.. It is almost like each state is comparable to different countries in Europe.. Someone who is from New Mexico is culturally very different than someone from Tennessee.. Even though they are both Americans there are many differences...
