“40 Mind-Boggling Cultural Quirks in Europe That Left Americans Scratching Their Heads!”
I went to a Cinema in London years ago with an old gf. and you picked your seat on a screen And you sat at THAT seat. like at a sporting venue, you didnt dare move even if the entire isle was empty *we might have been charged more per seat too, I dont recall*.
Two things.
First: Are there any serious “Holy Rollers” in Europe? In America we hear a lot about evangelicals (and they have a tendency to make everything just a little bit worse) but you almost never hear about them in Europe. Like do you guys have a Westboro Baptist Church type group?
Second: Having grown up in an extremely crime-ridden neighborhood in a major American city I always feel like even the most crime heavy area in Europe is Disneyland compared even the “eh, it’s not really *that* bad” parts of most cities over here. I guess that’s more of a statement than anything but do Europeans have a legitimate “if I go there it’s possible I could get k****d” fear when they think about high crime areas? Or is it more or less exaggerated? Or do you not have any fear of being k****d simply because you go to the wrong neighborhood? And yes, I understand that statistically speaking it’s pretty rare to get k****d as the victim of a crime in America but there’s a segment of the US population that has a story of say, going to the gas station only to find out it’s closed because some dude was shot and k****d while filling his tank. I’m part of that segment. So I’m unusually paranoid where crime is concerned. And I wonder if there’s people like that in Europe.
