Things like an appreciation for a full breakfast and school sports we get from the Brits. (Roundabouts aka rotaries, too, in some parts of the U.S.)
Roundabouts are big fun.
Indy suburbs are adding them in a lot of intersections.
Especially in a Miata, LOL.
Especially Amsterdam. We saw a bike park there, literally thousands of bikes, one wonders how somebody can make out which bike is theirs.
Yeh its called socialism. :-)
When my daughter was in the hospital I would have killed to be able to crack open a window.
They just don’t understand Americans.
They understand us just fine when they need our money or men to die by the thousands to fix their own damned problems.
We're sex saturated enough...I have no desire to have sexy eiropean TV commercials playing in my home. Thanks just the same.
A healthy skepticism of government would have saved the Germans a fair amount of grief. Perhaps they should consider that.
bfl
America was founded on a wise biblical teaching: “Put not your faith in princes, in whom there is no help.” Psalm 146:3. We would be far better off today had America stuck to that verity.
One other thing I noticed, hotel rooms have thermostats, but they never seem to work.
Modern feudalism isn’t awful. That’s why people support socialism, it’s only awful compared to our society.
The two things that made the biggest impression on me were the lack of growth-what was at a place had been at that place for likely hundreds of years.
And they use human waste in their fertilizer and you can tell.
You like Europe? Stay there.
At least they’re getting a better bang for their bucks... We’ve devolved into a quasi social state, but with none of the perks.
The vast amount of stimulus was spent on “shite” projects that didn’t improve infrastructure instead going to Union boss payoffs and contractors.
The most impressive thing that Germany does... is build roads really well. Particularly repaving jobs... they’re done to last decades upon decades.
We have ONE in our fair city.....I call it the ‘circle of death’
The writer lives in a dream world. Face reality...Europe is like a dirty Disneyland. Living there only works if you have lots of money and time to waste. Then there’s the muzzies and the commies. How many times has America bailed out their butts with our men’s lives and our treasury? Ingrates. I have some relatives that are unrepentant LIB moonbats...they love Europe, visit months at a time and praise it to high-Heaven. By the way, they are big time socialist sloths and losers.
They live their lives for pleasure. Dinners take hours and everything is social.
They have beauty in everything, every little doorknob, window latch, everything has a delightful element of design.
You walk through history, usually starting through Roman times to the modern day.
The butter, cheese, bread and yogurt is unbelievably delicious and the food is PURE.
The street signs are up high on the corners of the buildings and very easy to find.
They all dress better and appreciate fashion, not to mention the men’s shoes.
I live part of my year in Europe and just returned. I notice the differences immensely. I could go on and on of my love of Europe. The politics stink, but most think Obama is a scourge on the planet, unlike in 2008 when he was a God that come from heaven to save us all.
Thanks, new tagline.
