I've seen other people say it but it needs to be emphasized that Europe is a continent made up of very different countries with different behaviors! I'm from Ireland and we are so unlike many other European countries. It would be really interesting to see people from different European countries introduce their culture to you guys! (Maybe when covid-19 isn't as big of an issue)

I love how shy and reserved Koreans are 😂. The kissing greeting is common in Europe, middle east and most of ex soviet countries

I love how conscious Heejae and Byungeun are of not wanting to trample on Nida's boundaries or have her be uncomfortable. It all worked out to be pretty funny though!

i'm from germany as well and about the umbrellas: it's rather rare seeing anyone with an umbrella lmao everytime it rains really hard the students that came by foot or bike make puddles on the ground, we're dropping as if we fell into a pool

As previously mentioned it is a pretty common misconception that all European countries have the same cultural footprints but as a Swede I feel that there is a huuuge difference between every country. Obviously countries have been influenced as she mentioned in the video but as an example we don’t do the cheek greeting here at all. It would be really cool to see different sides of European cultures to debunk the misconceptions. I volunteer as tribute XD

As someone who grew up with cheek kisses for greetings, seeing them so uncomfortable and awkward with this habit was a little surprising and a lot amusing. But good on them for being good sports about it.

As a Greek person I never really thought much about the whole kiss greeting thing, I see that it's also different in between European countries. For example, here in Greece we do it 2 times, one kiss in each cheek, the Germany's way is really cute though🤗

In the Philippines, we also usually do that way of greeting especially with friends and relatives, we call it 'beso' (the word is actually Spanish but we say it that way too since we were colonized by Spain before and adapted a lot of culture and tradition and 'cheek kiss' or 'cheek-to-cheek' is one of them)

In Italy we use two kisses on cheeks ( it's actually a cheek to cheek but you have to make the "smack" sound) and it's considered a friendly greeting even between a boy and a girl, so you don't use it like when you greet your boss. There are many variations of the greeting , you can do it with hug if it's a close person, you can just put the hand on the arm if the person is not that close or sometimes guys use to wrap the arm around the waist of the girl (usually in a flirty way ;) ). Unfortunally Covid changed many things but with closest people we still tend to be really physical. LOVE FROM ITALY

Europe is very diverse, with many history and different cultures/customs. But It's very funny to see how they react to different behaviors. In Portugal the summer is longer and we have air conditioning almost everywhere. When it's raining is similar to Germany, we rarely wear umbrellas. To greet we give two kisses on the cheek, even if it is the first time we meet someone, It's a normal thing. It was very funny to see their reaction! Awesome video 😉😄

Germany here: air cons are reserved for hotels, hospitals and shops - very few private homes have them. Same in other European countries I have been to.

They should put together clips of Byungen getting flustered by girls and make him react to it 😂

As a person who lives in Greece I must say summer here is NEVER ENDING

Thanks to coro virus this cultural thing in France is quite dead actually, and it's a huuuuge blessing for those who doesn't feel confident about doing it all the time when you meet someone at a party or a family meal, and I think especially for girls who used handshakes less than boys

The "kiss" greating is usually done in families. It's done when you meet your aunt or someone from your family or a really close friend of yours, then you'll do this🥰 (I don't know how it is in other countries but in Czech Republic it's like this for sure) :)

🇧🇷 In Brazil, the rule is to kiss on the cheek when you meet someone; one, two or three, depending on the region of the country. It needs to be a formal presentation for us to limit ourselves to shaking hands.

Here in Greece we hug, or kiss on cheek two times or both of them when greeting relatives or friends of the same or even the opposite sex! Also we have, as well as the southest countries of Europe, a lot of sun too 🙃

I as a German have NEVER seen anyone in Germany greeting by giving a kiss at the cheeks

About the cheek kisses, at least here in Portugal we also do it with people that we've met for the first time, when they're being introduced to us by someone else. For example: I go to my dad's friend's house and when I come in I'm like "hellooo" and then kiss everyone on the house on the cheek, whether I already knew them or not. Especially at parties.

I lived in Italy for 15 years, and the 2 kisses as greeting confused me at the beginning, since I was used to just one kiss as is costumary in Mexico, it ended in a few awkward situations, like I ended up kissing on the lips a few people, like my husband's grandma and one of his cousins. But after covid people don't greet you with kisses anymore.

OMG Byungeung is so precious! So shy and flustered for a greeting. I'm italian and we greet almost always like that. My friends and me touch eachother continuously, regardless if boys or girls,we hold hands, we sit on eachother's lap, we cuddle watching tv or playing games, we hug a lot. I can't even imagine how it is to spend a long period of time without having a direct contact with another human being

In Croatia we do a handshake (mostly with ones you are not that close to) , kiss 2 times on the cheek then hug (with close ones) when greeting our relatives or friends.

It was so much fun to you guys try the cheek kiss greet! Since I've been raised and born in Spain is true I didn't think about it too much when I was little, but growing up and learning about another cultures, I felt like greets like a handshake or bowing, like Koreans do, would be less invasive and much more comfortable and I would personally prefer it much better being a person on the introverted side haha although I have to say that since the pandemic started most people don't it anymore since, it's obviously, risky. It's been weird here tryna figure out how to greet each other when we meet up since then 😅

Cultural differences can be hard for all of us. Physical contact can be, too. Again, HeeJae and Byungeon were good sports and tried so hard not to be uncomfortable. Thanks, AW, for another great video. Always excited when I see there's a new AW video! ❤👍😎

In Greece air conditioning is everywhere! Busses, trolleys, homes, in Germany and Holland only in offices and shops, but some people do use them at home.

Let's all be honest here, we all wanted heejae and byungeun to greet each other 😂

Also in some middle eastern countries we have that, as for me where i'm from it's very common, hahaha it's really nice to see how much so many of us have in common!! Also the German girl is *gorgeous* !

We don't have summer for only one week in Germany 😂 we indeed have summers that are more rainy with moderate temperature and also very hot and dry summers with one heawave after another. The weather is just not that reliable.

Many cultures have varied greetings. In New Zealand (as my mother is Maori) in official things with our elders (older people grandma grandpa uncle aunty etc) we greet by shaking hands pressing our foreheads and noses together hold a few seconds eyes closed, it's respect, like in the movie Disney Moana at the end of the movie

I'm an Australian with a Belgian mother and a Maori father. Seeing how standoffish Koreans are is very strange to me. Both sides of my family are very affectionate, and when visiting New Zealand I am expected to get up close and personal with people I've never met (to greet them with a hongi). I will hug and kiss my friends openly but this can vary with different social groups in Australia, and there are often more vocal (sometimes lude) ways we greet each other.

I'm from the UK, and we literally do this without thinking about it. Normally not in a business setting, but one kiss on the cheek socially when we see someone we know, or sometimes when being introduced.

Heejae and Byungeun were just adorable trying out the European greet!

Cute video. I enjoy learning about cultural differences. We do the cheek kiss thing here in Britain sometimes, depends on who you're greeting really, personally I'll sometimes sling my arms around people but I do try to read a person's boundaries first, if I know them well usually it's a hug greeting, for more formal greeting I still do the nice firm handshake that my father taught me 🤗 I guess Korean would bow, which I find a nice way of greeting. It takes me back to when I watched You're Beautiful and Jeremy had lived in Europe and would try to run and throw his arms around people and I couldn't even deny that that was me, haha!

Not only european people do the kiss, the whole latin america do the kiss too as a hello( just 1 kiss not 2) ( plesse don't take this wrong, I love awesome world )

Someone already commented this, but we rly forget that europe isn't just span, france, germany, italy and great britain. There are 47 countrys, okay? 😭🧐Especially balkan countrys are never even considered in those kinda videos. Not everything is from france or great britain 😂😭 Don't get me wrong I am not trying to spread any hate.

She wasnt in germany for a long time... German summer is long and became very hot, annually hitting the 40°Celsius because of global warming

So, today I learned that the 'cipika-cipiki' in my country Indonesia is probably also originated from Europe, since we have a long history of being colonized by the Dutch, long enough for the cultures to be blended. I've never been aware of this, since a lot of people just casually did this, especially the older ladies and moms when they meet each other. So, big thanks to Awesome World for this new knowledge hahaha, really awesome video 👏👏 and if there are my fellow Indonesian wkwkland comrade, feel free to correct me if i'm wrong :)

Well I'm from Scotland and we're rubbish at cheek-kissing. BUT compared to Heejae and Byungeun we're positively ebullient! Oh and can Nida become a regular? She and Heejae definitely have chemistry.

I'm from Mozambique,Africa and we also say hello to each other that way

I'm from Slovenia and not all of us have air cons, we rather open our windows in the morning and at night to cool the house/apartment. We use umbrellas even if it's raining slightly, although it depends on a person and place (e.g. in our main city you will see people who don't open their umbrellas even if it's raining). We don't kiss strangers as form of greeting (we shake hands or just nod), the three kisses on cheek are usually done with close friends and family members, the only time that you do that with other people is when they wish you happy birthday, but not all do that. In Slovenia we kind of don't like touching each other, so even hugging can be awkward. We like to keep our distance.

Hi! In Portugal we do two kisses only, and it's for women-women or women-men. Usually men don't greet with kisses, they shake hands :) Hugs!

In Turkey we also greet like this too but usually with close people

First time !! First time !! that was so cute, I am not sure how I feel after that :P I just know Heejae rocked it with that look

What Germans can't live without? Bread. The umbrella bit made me laugh- yes, that's so accurate. Oh, it's drizzling? Eh, I don't need an umbrella, "ich bin ja nicht aus Zucker" :'D (lit. "I'm not made of sugar" aka you won't dissolve in a bit of water) . Last time I saw anyone do the cheek kissing was in high school. Hugs are more common I would say but this was just too cute. Byungeun. exe has stopped working and Heejae was so sweet not wanting to make Nida feel uncomfortable.

I AM FIRST (LOVE IT) FROM INDIA 💖💖 SORRY WRONG INFO SOMEONE IS ALDREADY BEFORE ME

As a Swedish person I have to say we have no air con but it’s starting to change because it’s getting hotter during the summer. Also I seldom use umbrellas because ”klä dig efter väder” (dress after what weather it it) and rain won’t kill me 😅 Skinship is also uncommon, if we get really friendly we can hug though since moving to the capital I’ve seen more people shaking hands and so on.

Those two were surprisingly considerate for her when she said "It's not my style". That was nice.

Love your channel...av been watching the old video too am so addicted(in a good way) and I will love to see all the cast together ❤...

Nida is so pretty omg!

Anything happens… Blame it on their PD😂😂

I am also from Europe and it's so interesting to me to see how they seem more comfortabele hugging someone they don't know well than kissing them this way. I also don't usually greet people by kissing them, except for my family in general or my sister's boyfriend, for example. But I would only hug someone who I'm quite close to. It's really cool to see how different cultures can be!

😂😂BG blushing I can understand… but Heejae also blushing and excited about the kiss greetings that got me 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Actually 3 kisses are common in Orthodox countries, in Catholic countries it's 2 kisses One on each cheek

I see Heejae, I click thumbs up.

Wonderful Video :D i like Heejae and Byungeun and Nida very good compination

In Spain we only do the kiss greeting with friends, and it’s usually just two kisses. We also do it when we meet our friends’ friends too. When it rains just a little bit we usually don’t use an umbrella. Most of the times we are wearing coats when it rains, and usually the coats have a hood so we just cover our head with it. If it starts to rain more, we use an umbrella of course

im from greece and we adore the kissing greeting. i always thought it was normal hahahah,, i totally didnt expect it when the girl said i dont wanna touch you cuz i dont wanna be rude! shesh, we just do it so casually here. i love how diverse our cultures are!

In Romania we do just the 2 kisses greeting on the cheek but generally only with friends or relatives. If we meet someone for the first time we usually only shake hands. And I went a couple of years ago in Germany in the beginning of August and it was really hot and the hotel I was staying in did not have air conditioner. At least I had in the room an electric fan, but the heat was barely bearable.

Nida is really sweet, and didnt make it awkward at all! I thought the kissing greeting scene was so cute!

I'm spanish and german so I know both cultures very well. In Germany summer is shorter so people don't really use air cons but since winter is long there are lots of heaters! Every room has a heater, many houses have a fireplace etc. In Spain it's the opposite. There are lots of air cons, cause the summer ist so long and hot. But not many houses have heaters or even fireplaces since the winter is very mild and short. That's my experience at least. Spanish people use umbrellas when it rains, even light rain. Cause it almost never rains there (I'm from the mediterranian coast) but since it rains so much in Germany (I'm from NRW) people just wear good clothing like a rainproof jacket and go on. The kissing thing is more south european... In Spain we use it to greet everyone, strangers or not. Just two kisses and no handshake before. I think thats the french way? But one thing is important: in Spain it's only between women or men and women. Not between men, they just greet with a handshake or hug. In Germany people greet only with a handshake. Friends will greet each other with hugs.

Only in the North part of Europe in the South Greece Italy we have pretty long summers😂and even tho its hot here still not a lot of Ac so she has a point

Number 1 is heavily dependant on where in Europe (North/South). Koreans encountering cheek kissing is never gonna stop being hilarious to me.

I was always shy and have been battling with social anxiety, but yeah cheek kiss was in the culture and I agree, it definitely helps a bit to break the ice in a subtle way.

I'm Portuguese and it has always bothered me since I was a kid that I had to greet strangers with a kiss on each cheek. Because you genuinely don't know who you are greeting. And as a woman now, it irks me further with some men that I can tell just by the way they stare that they are creeps or worse. I always go for the handshake with men I am suspicious of.

I really enjoyed this video well first here 😄

this video is so cute haha, thumbs up for more episodes with Nida!!

was waiting for your video!!!! FINALLY!!! I laughed like crazy!!!

In Russia Air cons. are less popular that some heating devices. Cause winter is about 5 months, 5 months of spring that both are cold and wet. So air con is not really needed

This video was funny and interesting. To see something as simple as a kiss on the cheeks (usually not even a kiss but two cheeks touching) that we see daily was so hard and uncomfortable for them to do. I keep learning more about Korean culture with these videos. Btw Air Con is very true in France but I've experienced hotter temperatures in the summer than I have on tropical islands in the Caribbean.

In Panama, Central America, we actually kiss just one time and our cheeks touch while making the kiss sound 😂

Ohh nice vlog❤️😂당신을 사랑합니다

Oh I love videos on Korea-Europe theme 🥰

not only Europeans, we do the same way of greeting in the middle east and it’s not weird what is weird is the asian way tbh 😂 the middle eastern and European way actually brings warmth and as a muslim female i’m allowed to do so with women not men, the only men i can greet them that way are my father, brother, uncles, grandfather and nephews :)

i'm from Hungary (Middle Europe) and i believe we do 2 kisses only, one for each sides. plus we only do the hand shaking if we're meeting for the first time, however once we know each other better and have a nice friendship, we start with big hugs :D but really, it depends on the personality - not everyone is fond of things like this, even if they're friends or family

I think that the kiss thing is reserved for people we know mostly. Like friends, family and so. Sometimes it's only a hug also. Especially in central Europe and countries close to central part. The "kiss strangers" I've only seen when I was in France to be honest and I was like "Bro, tf are you doin..." but I quickly adjusted to "🤷‍♀️ K then." lol. So even if we have similarities each EU country still is so much different. 😅

It rains a lot in Europe, specifically Sweden. Rain in 4 seasons in sometimes hot and mostly cold weather

I can assure you that not all european countries have short summer. Where I am from, Malta, it's one of the hottest countries during summer and the heat is unbearable and lasts a long time.

I don't think this is weird, everyone has his/her culture we just need to respect that

Depends on the country in Europe, in Slovakia if girl meets another girl or boy it's 2 kisses (cheek to cheek) however they need to be friends, if boy meets another boy it's a hand shake. If you just meet someone and you didn't know each-other before you greet each-other or shake hands. If you are good friends besides of the cheek to cheek kisses it's also a hug :-D

Like many europeans friends have said, Europe is a big continent with a lot of different countries. I'm from Spain, i live in the south and believe me, we use and need air-con because is really hot 🥵 here with give 2 kisses in either cheek when we meet someone for the first time and with friends or family. I'm not a big fan of this habits but i do it when necesary 🤷🏻‍♀️ Really adorable watching these 2 utie pies trying to be cool and dont get shy ☺️☺️

I'm from The Netherlands and we kiss like this when we are on visits. Some dos even do the "mwuha" sound with it 😂

Some parts of Germany have a long summer, not 1 week as she said. In Saxony, it is hot from June to middle of September.

In egypt, we also kiss on the cheeks like that, usually 2 sometimes 3 or 4 depending on the region

yall so cute and funny ^^ and yes, in Spain we (traditionally woman and woman, or woman and man, but there's also men who do that between them) greet people with two kisses on the cheek. but there's also a lot of people who don't like it and just hug or just say hello. in my case I like it because I love showing affection to my friends and family, and even to someone I just met, I think it breaks the ice a little bit and shows that you are friendly. but since stupid covid I don't get to do it and I hate that lol I think it will be awkward when all of this is over, but honestly I CAN'T WAIT hhahaha also here the summer is extremely hot and we definetely have AC almost everywhere. but I like it, I love the sun hours, my hair dries on its own and I don't get sick (because on winter I almost every year catch a big cold that won't go away). but also because of climate change the hot weather stays almost up until october... and then winter comes really cold were I live. last year we had the biggest snow storm ever since 1971!!! we were definetely not ready lmao the pipes on my house broke due to being frozen and we were almost two weeks without running water!! snow can be fun but it can also become a problem if it falls too much.

I love it so much ❤

We do this too in north Africa like Algeria tunisia Morroco not just in Europe .... I enjoyed this video so much fun 😂

Europe is so similare yet so diverse so it's difficult to generalize.. also in Italy we have a lot of aircon because it gets really really hot. Btw koreans seem so shy

In Georgia we also do the cheek kiss but only on one cheek. some people prefer hug or just say hello.

In Norway the cheek kisses is not a thing. Norwegians are anti social beings. We really don't like to talk to strangers, it's a very awkward thing for us. But if you hang with us when we are drunk, that's another story. Then we usually are social butterflies. 🤣

I’m from Montreal in Canada, I do this. Not everyone does, but it’s such a multi-cultural city; you kind know who to pick & choose to do this with.

I’m from Portugal and I’ve done the kiss greeting all my life 😂😂 I also don’t like it and don’t do it with everyone I meet, only when I’m meeting older people close to my family or just older family members. With friends I also use it, but usually we hug. If I’m meeting my parents friends or something and they come for a kiss it’s not weird or anything so it’s a polite greeting but not used in formal occasions. Also where I live we only do two kisses and not three

그것은 훌륭했다 맙소사 그는 너무 수줍어했다 🤭희재님도 수고하셨어요😊 영상 잘 보고 있습니다❤️

Europe is not a country, these things are not done by every culture

Hi from Belgium ! We also kiss on the cheek for greetings even when we don't know well the person x) About the umbrella, it is really true. We use it rarely lol

3:32 here in the Netherlands it rains a lot, but it's also quite windy when it rains, so most people don't use umbrellas, they just put a raincoat on or something.

8:03 "That's nice!! Now I know why EUROPEANS are doin'like this" Awwww BYUNGEUN was so cute.....😂😂😂😂

In europe hugging is more personal than cheek kissing haha

In Holland we have airco everywhere though!Also in metro tram and bus!

I think all these concepts depend on which part of Europe. In the south, for example in Spain or Italy, ac is everywhere

In Slovenia we also do it that way,not when you meet the person for the first time though.Just a strong handshake(not to strong so you don't break some fingers to the other guy).I have seen a lot of people shaking hands very lightly like you are shaking a dead fish and that's a no no.
