They're confident people.

If there's a natural gap in the conversation, they'll just leave the gap there.

And again, initially, that gave me anxiety.

But then as time has gone on, I've just started to really appreciate that and respect that.

I think there's something very calming about that.

Essentially not rushing to just overly talk or just try to soothe over every social situation.

They don't care.

If they don't feel like talking, they won't talk.

And that's grand.

If they're not in a good mood, they won't fake a smile.

And it's to be commended, I think, overall, to be honest.

I was.

No, I was.

I was relatively concerned that they would not take it well.

I actually resisted doing it for a while.

I had another Instagram channel just making my own nonsense, unrelated to Germany or Ireland or anything, just random nonsense.

But nobody was watching that, and that was grand or whatever.

It was just for the crack, and I would have loved if it had blown up, but it didn't.

But anyway, my partner, she was saying...

oh, you should do like cultural comparison stuff about Germany and Ireland.
