Re: Weird Things about Europe
On a somewhat opposite view:
Weird things about Canada (or at least Ontario):
- The toilet is in the same room as the shower and the sink. (granted I've seen this in some places in Europe too)
- Liquor can only be bought in government owned LCBO stores. And Beer only in government owned Beer Stores which are operated by goons that act like they are guarding Fort Knox. You only get to see empty beerbottles to choose from, then you tell the goon what you want who radio's the closed off section of the store with your order after which your beer comes sliding through a small hole to where you can finally pick it up. No beer/booze can be bought anywhere else.
- All bars/clubs/restaurants have last call at 2am and promptly close by 3am.
- Drive at 16 but no beer till 19? (drive at 18, beer at 16 in Belgium). And 21 in the US? Shudder, the horror.
- Very few people lock their front doors.
- No glass in front of the counters at banks
