Well, maybe a little less than ten.... but regardless, these are the most frequently ask questions I get as an American from Europeans during my study abroad in 2019.
As an American living in and traveling throughout Europe, you get the opportunity to meet and talk with so many interesting people from all over the EU. Naturally, as soon as it is made clear you are an American, Donald Trump is very likely to come up early in conversations with Europeans in 2019
❓ Questions For the Comment Section ❓
1) AMERICANS: What are other frequently asked questions from Europeans?
2) EUROPEANS: What are questions Americans frequently ask you?
Disclaimer: This video is not based on empirical evidence or statistically reliable data, but instead on my personal experience both talking with and being around other Americans on study abroad programs. Does the question of Trump really present itself first 9 out of 10 times in conversation? Of course not! My grounds for making this video was to make (what I feel) is an important point by dramatizing an observation for more a simplistic and comedic effect. My argument is merely that from my perspective, that the frequency of questions about President Trump is disproportionately more common than other "first questions" when meeting Europeans. My main point, of course, being the suggestion that Europeans should avoid starting off a conversation with an American they have just met by asking about Trump, and should instead get through some small talk before asking for opinions on the American President.

Münstertal in the Black Forest was our Day-Trip destination from Freiberg on DAY (11) of our backpacking adventure through Germany/Europe. In this video we travel with Flixbus to Freiburg, take a train to Münstertal, meet up with friends, then return a friendly snake to the Schwarzwald (Black Forest) and take a hike around the area.
Münstertal is small town in the southern Black Forest, located in the Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald in Baden-Württemberg of southern Germany.
Towards the very end of our CBYX Exchange Year in Germany, my good friend Gingerlee and I decided to backpack through Germany and Europe. In this video, the adventure of a lifetime brings us to the wonderful city of Freiburg, Germany.

Regarding the Germany vs. USA window design remark: I understand that these windows do exist in the US as well, and meant only that to the most of my knowledge they are more prominent in Germany
