Most homes only have two bedrooms. Gambling and prostitution is legal. Children are allowed in pubs. Our battle tanks have electric kettles for making tea. We don't talk to each other in elevators or on trains. Our taxes are filled out by the government unless we are self employed. We don't have city blocks. A lot of homes and buildings are built on hills. Every town has at least one football team. People with certain disabilities can get a carer card which allows whoever is escorting them to gain free entry to the cinema, free football tickets and other free stuff. If you want a job then you visit the Job Centre and they try to help you find employment as best they can. You start school at aged 4 and finish mainstream school at age 16. At university we study one subject and that's it. No extra classes. We don't refrigerate eggs. Most food is free of artificial ingredients and preservatives. At the supermarket we have to pack our own bags and the cashier has a seat. Deer and horses are our most dangerous wild animals. Only 10% of the country is urbanised. Our homes don't have air conditioning.

It truly was a Shawshank redemption Posts: 12,129 Group: Retired Staff Member #2,993 Joined: December 16, 2007 Gender Male Favourite Anime DBZ What Browser do you use? Google Chrome Favourite Manga DBZ, Full Metal Alchemist	My washing machine is outside in the shed and we keep our eggs in the fridge. Not all pubs allow under-18s inside. Mainstream school finishes at 16 yes, but kids have to be in some form of education through to 18 (although this isn't strictly enforced as my little brother is 16 and hasn't found anything to do yet, but nobody's followed up on that). Also, the not talking in lifts/trains/public in general is true for everyone under the age of 60. Once you pass that threshold, you talk to anybody any time and any where and never shut up. At least in my experience.

Favourite Manga dat boi	Quote: We keep our washing machines in the kitchen. Washing machines are in the kitchen sometimes here, especially in apartments. Usually once you purchase a home, you have your own "laundry room." Quote: Gambling and prostitution is legal. Gambling is legal here if you're 18+ Quote: We don't talk to each other in elevators or on trains. We don't either. If you're socially awkward though, I guess you can, but it makes people uncomfortable. Oh, and people don't take trains. Quote: We don't have city blocks. I'm not sure I know what a city block is. Quote: People with certain disabilities can get a carer card which allows whoever is escorting them to gain free entry to the cinema, free football tickets and other free stuff. LIBERALISM Quote: If you want a job then you visit the Job Centre and they try to help you find employment as best they can. We can do that too, but I feel like the culture around finding a job is very different in America. You're expected to find a job as early as you can (16, 18 at the latest) or it's frowned upon. If you don't have a job in your mid-twenties, you're lazy. If you don't have a job in your 30's+, you're just a waste of human life. (Society's opinion, not mine.) Quote: You start school at aged 4 and finish mainstream school at age 16. Preschool here is optional (3-4 years old), but we're all required to go to kindergarten, which is about age 5. You don't finish high school until you're 17 or 18. Quote: At university we study one subject and that's it. No extra classes. Some universities do that here, and you can test out of certain subjects depending on your scores, but for the most part there are gen ed classes, yeah. Quote: We don't refrigerate eggs. That's gross. Quote: Most food is free of artificial ingredients and preservatives. Are you sure about that? Quote: Our homes don't have air conditioning. Strange. None of them do? I think a lot of it has to do with where you live in the country you're living in. I know it varies widely by state and city here in the US.

The vast majority of houses have radiators though.

Firefox Favourite Manga Dragonball	http://uk.businessinsider.com/why-europeans-dont-refrigerate-eggs-2016-12 There's been a few times where I've really wished for air conditioning. And it's true for the most part that a lot of our food products are free of artifical colours, flavourings and preservatives. Of course that means that food tends not to last as long and sometimes doesn't have a strong flavour. But that's better than pumping my body with chemicals.
