![]() Borders are 100% meaningless and I hope eventually we’ll live in a world where borders don’t matter as much as they seem to today. It was remarkably easy to board trains, or even planes, without ever showing an ID. Living in Europe, you cross borders regularly. First, bedding is comprised almost universally of a duvet cover and a single fitted bedsheet.īox spring mattresses are also extremely rare in Europe, with most beds made of slotted bed-frames (though I also slept in plenty of beds that just sat directly on the floor). There was a time when this topic became a big focus on Twitter with a pretty intense debate, but here’s the gist: top sheets are useless.Įds in Europe are different than those you’ll find in America it was one of the first cultural things I had to adapt to shortly after moving to Europe. Beer and wine are often de-stigmatized in European culture which, personally, I find refreshing. So that’s why it’s often acceptable to drink in many public places-parks, sometimes on the subways, outdoor events, etc. It’s not universally accepted across Europe, but because of a lower drinking age (between 16 and 18 for most European countries), drinking culture is vastly different than in America.įirst off, because of the lower drinking ages and the general acceptance of beer and wine in the local food culture across the continent, it’s just less of an issue a lot of times. Drinking in public isn’t shameful or odd – the European lifestyle! Group chats and secure storage make it infinitely useful and fun to use. I think because Europeans don’t own as many iPhones as we do in America (they’re cost-prohibitive in a lot of Europe), most of the population uses WhatsApp to communicate-and truthfully, it’s just a better app than iMessage or texting. It’s safe, it’s secure, and even if it’s owned by Facebook, it’s the only messaging app I trust. WhatsApp is the only messaging app you need when we can actually use numbers to make sure we show up at the right time? Again, it just makes SO MUCH SENSE! Why do we have to specify a.m. ![]() We called it military time in the USA, but a 24-hour clock is pretty much the norm in most of Europe. The US Letter paper size is clunky and awkward, while an A4 paper size works perfectly in mathematical combinations (put two A4 pieces together and you’ve got an A3). ![]() The A-series paper formatting works so much better and actually fits within a practical ratio. Sorry America, but another measurement system you got wrong is with paper sizes. Plus, for me, the numbers just work better in my mind. I know this comes down t personal preference, but because the entire world except the USA uses celsius for temperature reporting, it just makes sense to use celsius.
