Things Europeans know I wish Americans would learn:
To build better restrooms. We have rows of stalls you peek
through to see if they’re occupied. After you’ve done your business, you gather belongings, open the stall door and THEN wash your hands. Creepy and unsanitary.
To have a better work/life balance. Europeans have more
vacation days, and they USE them. They understand no one on their deathbed wishes
they’d spent more time in the office.
To eat mindfully. In Europe, no one gobbles lunch at
their desk while answering emails. They don’t scarf down dinner while literally
on the run. They take time to enjoy meals while seated at a table. And their
portions are human-sized.
To display the price – tax included – on everything.
And not to tip. Tipping's stupid.
That healthcare isn’t only for the rich. Every year 550,000
Americans declare bankruptcy from medical debt alone.
To walk everywhere, every day. When you can't, take the train.
