You know each State in the US is basically its own country with its own culture, government, foods, etc. And we dont need a passport, no visa, and same currency everywhere, and using the cellphone with no extra costs. I can from snow capped mountains to dry desert to amazing beaches, to the tropics, to the tundra, all in the US. I mean I like traveling overseas when I save up enough to afford it, but in the US, you can get a lot of experience without the hassle. Also if you have an enhanced ID drivers license you can go to Canada or Mexico by car without passport or visa

So true, especially in larger cities – especially during rush hours. A couple of years ago there was a traffic survey published by the city council. Turned out that at least in the center of town the bicycle was the second quickest way of transport (second only to the subway) to get from one place to another. — I’m an all-year cyclist, and I have never even owned a car.

The most European thing ever is the quaint and charming cobblestone streets that wind through medieval cities, flanked by towering cathedrals and quaint cafes serving espresso and croissants. It's the picturesque vineyards of Tuscany, the romantic waterways of Venice, and the timeless elegance of Parisian boulevards. It's the sizzling aroma of fresh bratwurst wafting through the air at a bustling German Christmas market, the infectious energy of a Spanish fiesta, and the hauntingly beautiful strains of a traditional Irish ballad. The most European thing ever is the rich tapestry of cultures, cuisines, and landscapes that make up this diverse and endlessly fascinating continent.

From an American's perspective; Kebab shops. I've been all over Europe and I've got to say, those thing were *everywhere* and I stopped at way too many of them. I could really go for a durum kebab right about now...

One big difference is the way from villages to big cities are laid out. They all have numerous squares or public gathering places. You can enjoy a drink....music,people watching. You don’t have to drive everywhere. Local pubs abound. I always wondered how so many Europeans could make do with those tiny fridges. But then I realized they shop fresh all the time. There are so many,butchers or bakers,produce stands,cheese,deli,flower shops within walking distance. They shop local and fresh all the time. Without a car. My Uncle lived in a big condo or over there row housing area. Every Saturday mobile butchers,bakers,fruit and produce etc.would set up outside for a few hours then move on. Everything fresh and local,and absolutely delicious. And no car needed.

"Dutch-themed attraction park" is the absolute best description of Amsterdam I've ever read. It's completely true. EDIT: Utrecht has knives on wheels flying around you too. I'm always scared of them when I'm there (I'm from the south-east, where things are... slow.)

Beleive it or not, but that is even true for some people from the Netherlands visiting Antwerp (or the major Antwerp cinema complex being visited a lot by the Dutch) who then start complaining how some thing or other is much better on their side of the border. Dear Northern neighbours : we speak the same language, we understand what you're saying, and if you donot like it here : please stay at home. Flipside : this is a minority spoiling it for the vast majority who are nice people.

“What Made You Stop?”: 35 Former Vegans And Vegetarians Share Their Stories Of Going Back To Meat

The only vitamin you can't get from plants is B12, but animals don't produce this vitamin either! It comes from microbes populating the earth and it's because we eat 'clean' food we don't digest them anymore. Cows still eat grass fresh from the earth and therefore store some B12 in their meat and now people think they have to eat the cow to get the vitamin. Taking a simple supplement is so much easier!

“What Made You Stop?”: 35 Former Vegans And Vegetarians Share Their Stories Of Going Back To Meat

I do wish more people would eat vegan most of the time!! Not just to avoid animal suffering, but also because of the environmental effects that come from eating animal products. It's vegans that are going to end up saving this world ❤️

That's why feminists in the 70's rallied to stop the usage of the Dutch word for miss ("juffrouw / mejuffrouw"). It worked, now the only word used is misses ("mevrouw"), except for teachers somehow, who are all called juffrouw, married or not 🤔.

Same for the Netherlands, in cases where there is 'uitzichtloos lijden' (which means something along the lines of suffering without any hopes of recovery).

That's so awful... Why not help the poor man? This form of euthanasia (when a person is suffering without hopes for healing) is totally normal in my country.
