Europeans in America are having a great time exploring our noble traditions (like Walmart): "I Am Lovin' Me European Soccer Fans".
This guy is splendidly and hilariously taken aback.

I didn't realize Europeans live such a deprived life. I've watched a lot of videos of North Koreans reacting this way, but not Europeans.
ReplyDeleteHuh!
Exactly. Can you imagine not having access to five-pound rolls of hamburger meat? Pure savagery.
DeleteHey, Hans! Stop handling our excess! Get your own.
ReplyDeletemost apartments I've seen have no more than an undercounter size dorm fridge, so there's no room for a gallon of milk or iced tea, It might be the VAT or energy use limits, I don't know.
ReplyDeleteI had a similar set up in Germany when I lived on the economy ... and that was in 1981.
DeleteMost Europeans shop daily, or every other day. Pantries and freezers are virtually unknown, save in restaurants and gasthauses, or whatever the local name is for an inn.
And maybe not even then.
I don't know, maybe it's a holdover from WWII and food rationing? As I recall, that continued well into the 1950s in some parts of Europe.
Late to the party as usual, but the thing that got me most when we lived there is that apartments didn’t have built in closets. You needed a piece of furniture to store everything.
ReplyDeleteI'd forgotten that, Rebecca. Those would be a "Schrank" in German.
DeletePlus, my apartment did not have running hot water -- the hot water heater was a tank over the bath tub for showers, washing up, and cleaning dishes.
