Sounds like by 'civilised' you just mean the ability to enjoy life better.

Europe has two other flaws. First, ketchup and other condiments are not free at fast food places. They cost like a quarter for a packet, which is ridiculous.

Second, even when you're a paying customer at a restaurant, you have to pay extra to use the restroom. And it's not like the restrooms are any cleaner there than here.

So, Europe, I think you're very close to being civilized. If you could just fix those couple things, we'll definitely come over some time.

Ooh, but they are ahead of us on one count. In the Netherlands, at least, public toilets aren't just the metal stalls we have here. No, you get a tiny little room with a real door and real walls that go all the way to the ceiling and the floor.

Maybe we could form some kind of cultural cross-pollination conference to spread the best ideas from both continents.


P.S. Tube pillows are retarded.

First of all, it's ridiculous to generalize anything across all of Europe (this goes to the OP as well), what you see in Spain is going to be a little different then how they do things in Hungary. Second of all, I've been to Europe many times in my life, and only occasionally have I had to pay for condiments, which is usually only at American fast food places (which suck for numerous other reasons) and the only time I've ever had to pay for the toilet is in the Rome train station.

Brilliant. I always wonder why the walls can't go all the way up an down. At least all the way down.

Those tub arrangements are how I tell that the porn was produced in Europe.

What's wrong with that bath? The mobile nozzle makes it easier to wash your body properly. Most hotels etc here have them (australia). Shower curtain? The rest of the world aren't as uptight as americans. We are comfortable with our sexuality. This leads to uncurtained showers, topless women at the beach, legalized prostitution and fat guys wearing speedos (fortunately we aren't as fat as america).

people here are incapable of standing in a line without pushing, shoving, or trying to cut in front of other people

You have to dominate them. It's practice for driving.

you must enjoy getting water all over the bathroom while showering. that or you don't understand the function of shower curtains

OK, I'll bite. Weird things about Europe:
Germany: they don't have any regular trash cans. They are all divided up into like 8 sections, one for paper, one for plastic, one for metal, etc...
Britain: They spell tire "tyre" WTF???
Italy: You can't get more than one kind of product at a store. One day I was looking for a watch, a belt and some bandages. I spent 4 hours walking around Rome and only found a belt, at the belt store. I could not find the watch or bandage store. Also they put fried eggs on pizza.

You don't need show curtains if you use a handheld nozzle.

I'm a very open minded person, but I just don't if I could handle that, even with the very tempting opportunity of meeting Italian men. [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]

I've had a slightly fried egg on pizza. You break it open and the yolk makes the pizza richer. It was pretty good.
