Body language
🖖
Italy: we give an handshake when you meet someone for the first time. Kisses right and left and hugs among friends (girls and boys, doesn’t matter the gender).We talk with hands; every gesture has a meaning.
.
Austria: we give an handshake with people you just met or people you don’t know that well; kisses left and right or hugs with close friends (kisses on cheek first left then right; friends from balkan kiss cheeks 3 times). Gestures don’t mean anything but they get bigger, quicker and more aggressive when we talk about something that upsets us, open body language towards people we are comfortable around.
Denmark: Polite handshake, we only hug close family and close friends from the opposite sex.
Hungary: Formal greetings to strangers, usually traditional greetings in the family, hugs/kisses/high fives among friends often, depends on gender; we’re not too expressive either.

Politics and election system
📆
Italy: democratic republic, born in 1946. Minimum age to vote is 18, 25 for the senate. Low trust in government and in the political system, people are always bothered when talking about politics.
Austria: democracy, currently 5 parties in the parliament, elections by the public on one day, reelection every 5 years, minimum age for voting is 16.
Denmark: Democracy, it started in 1849 and have been there ever since, we have elections every 4th year. Or if the government is overthrown by one its support parties. We have a right and a left wing, they are almost the same size so we have a lot of changing goverments. Right now we have a left wing government. In Denmark, we have a lot of trust and the list of the least corrupt countries Denmark tops every year.
Hungary: we have low trust in our governments and political system, we want liberty and democracy but we don’t trust anyone to make it work.

Italy: everyone does a sport (most people play football, gymnastics, dance, basketball, rock climbing), but also lots of people do voluntary work, scouting, and in primary school every kid plays at least one instrument.

Austria: voluntary work, sport events mostly football, festives (traditional fests mostly outside or in big halls, “Frühshoppen”, Firebrigade or Football fests with live music)
"Frühshoppen" is defined as "early comfortable drinking"
Denmark: Every child will do some kind of sport, the most common is football and then on a second place we find handball. In middle school there are “sports” during the school week normally 2 x 2 hours pr. week
Hungary: basically everyone does some kind of a sport (usually football), we have quite a lot of traditions, no voluntary work

Health care system
🚑
Hungary: healthcare is provided by social security
Austria: public health care will be provided to everyone since birth, don’t need to pay for any doctor visits (only for private doctors), possibility to pay private health care to get benefits like shorter waiting times at doctors office, better care/room at hospital/free to choose doctor of their preference), no full payment for medication/drugs just payment of 6,30€ for the prescription, in emergency situations like ambulance will need to be paid but you can ask for a part of your money back

Sense of fashion
🎩💍
Italy: we have school uniform only in kindergarten and in primary school. The sense of fashion is often influenced by political ideas. I don’t hint there are huge differences in the sense of fashion Among the UE countries.

Austria: we don’t wear school uniforms, people have very different sense of fashion in austria, some are overdressed and some are underdressed in public, some austrians like to wear their traditional costume either in public or especially at weddings, confirmations, etc.
Denmark: We do not have any kind of school uniform etc. we normally just dress quite boring, I most certainly realised that when I saw the other students from italy, spain etc.
Hungary: we don’t have uniforms either

Eating habits
🍰🧇
Italy: we usually eat 3 times a day + 2 snacks. Students or people who don’t work are used to take a little nap after lunch. Dinner is the main meal: all the family members gather and talk about the day. Even breakfast, personally I couldn’t skip it. We are used to have dinner at 19:30/20:30, but in the south it’s later in the night, usually at 21:00/21:30. We have lunch with grandparents and cousins every Sunday. We do things like midnight “spaghettata”.

Austria: 3 times a day, big breakfast only on weekends with whole family, during the week mostly just a toast or coffee for breakfast, lunch typically between 12 and 14 o’clock, dinner between 6 and 8, on weekends coffee and sometimes something sweet like biscuits or cake approx. one hour after lunch.
Denmark: 3 times a day, it is quite normal to have dinner at 17.30.
Hungary: 3 meals a day, it’s normal
to skip breakfast and have a snack later,
and we eat dinner quite late (around 8 o’clock)
difference between the south and the north: especially people coming from Milan are described as cold and distant, while people from the south are more welcoming and extrovert even with strangers. We have to greet everyone only in small villages, it’s strange to do it in big cities.
when asking people on the street for directions or other things especially older generations tend to be more unfriendly/grumpy than younger generations, countryside more friendly and open, eg. waiters at restaurants will treat you like a friend rather than a guest, more friendly and more willing to help than in bigger cities, on the countryside everyone will greet each other on the streets, not so common in cities
we are not super friendly, keeping distance
Everybody just sticks to themselves, it is not normal to talk to strangers. If you say “hallo” to a stranger, they will properly just look confused, and think “why” is this person talking to me. Most of the time they will respond because they are polite.
