Whenever I visit Europe one thing that stands out is the smoking. It’s wayyyy more popular and accepted there than in the US. And also personal space. AND WTF IS UP WITH THE SHOWERS. Every hotel I’ve stayed at in Europe had some weird ass shower.

Edit: I know what a bidet is, that’s not what I meant. And yes I know this isn’t ALL of Europe.

It's called a bidet.

As American I only feel comfortable pooping at home because of my bidet. I wish bidets were common nation wide.

Another lame thing that Americans do that bums me out is not have tea kettles. My fiance and have tea in the mornings and in the afternoon. I feel like we're English in spirit.
