Thoughts on European Culture

Being in Europe is obviously different than the US and I will share my thoughts.....
Man with frontal dog pouch... 2 Chihuahuas inside...
  • People do not seem to mind B.O. I try not to stand next to anyone on the Metro holding the overhead hand rail...
  • You have to pay for ketchup packets, like you really do.... and to-go boxes
  • You have to pay to use the bathroom
  • You have to ask for water at a restaurant and pay for it of course
  • In order to bag your groceries you have to purchase a bag or bring your own
  • PDA is a-OK hence the "kiss stations" on the metro lines (they really do say that on the metro maps lol)
  • Beer is cheaper than water....
  • Anything translated to English is iffy, "chicken meat" "roasted piglet" etc.
  • Bread comes with everything here
  • All people eat are bread and cheese.... Cheese is so cheap!! (mozzarella is $1!!)
  • Everyone has a dog and no one uses a leash or cleans up their S*&^ on the sidewalks so watch your step
  •  Czech people don't smile
  • You can drink beer in class
  • Open containers are juuuuussssstttt fine, does everyone have their to-go drink?!
  • Smazeny Syr is fried cheese (basically a giant mozzarella stick) and its ok at any time of the day
  • Absinthe is sold everywhere, but you have to get the REAL kind
  • I am not ashamed to have been drunk on $2 boxed wine mannnnnny a night.... 
  • We are living the dorm life/Real World and its so great
  • There are more pubs than public bathrooms
  • You can't get everything in one place, there's a paper store for anything paper, a drogerie for general things, lekarna for any medicine, even advil. Billa/Albert for groceries. Mini marts for your drunk indulgences
  • The Czech Crown is awesome, screw the Euro...
More on this later....
