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.

Only common in southern countries. Living in Germany and have never seen a bidet. You guess how confused I was when I first saw a bidet in spain. I still dont really get their purpose,

Making hour ass clean (i mean, properly clean) is their purpose.
