When Americans say Europe they usually mean Western Europe, which is not really how the rest of the continent is. For instance in Mediterranean or Balkan people (and kids) are anything but quiet.
- stephenhuey 11y agoFunny you say this, because a little over a year ago an older lady in Sarajevo came over to our table to complain how loud we were (2 Australians and an American).
- JBReefer 11y agoAh yes, the famously quiet and reserved Italians and Greeks. Truly a reserved region /s
- threesixandnine 11y agoI am living in the Balkans for the last four years and my personal experience is that kids here are generally quiet. Very similar to Western Europe. (Zagreb - Croatia, Belgrade and Novi Sad - Serbia). Before coming here I visited and lived in many European countries and Italians for sure are the loudest in public settings (restaurants for example) - especially when there are many of them together. From my experience from Greek Islands Englishmen are the loudest of all - at home in England they are quiet and polite though . Germans are the quietest ones when traveling to other countries but loud at home sometimes. All this is totally my subjective point of view of course.
