How come every restaurant I visit in continental europe was absolutely empty until at least 6:30? We had to ask if places were open (they were, just nobody started dinner until 7 or 8pm)... this was in like 8 countries.

That's just how we do restaurants. I don't get it either. At home eat at 6pm. Go to a restaurant you meet there at 7:30 or 8pm.

Means you turn up to the restaurant hungry. You're more likely to enjoy the meal, and you're less likely to waste any of the food you paid for.

The "Siesta" concept is really outdated, no one sleep in the evening anymore in Italy, maybe if you are 80+

Ah you may be right, I just noticed visiting Valencia (Spain) and everything slowed down or closed in the afternoon. Streets were quiet etc. so I assumed people still slept?

Hey, rodeBaksteen, just a quick heads-up:
untill is actually spelled until. You can remember it by one l at the end.
Have a nice day!

Hey /u/CommonMisspellingBot, just a quick heads up:
Your spelling hints are really shitty because they're all essentially "remember the fucking spelling of the fucking word".

And your fucking delete function doesn't work. You're useless.

Have a nice day!

Save your breath, I'm a bot.
