Americans of Reddit, what part of European culture do you wish you had in the US?


  1. I've spent some time in Europe and they sure do know how to do little outdoor cafes. Pedestrian only cobblestone streets full of good food, cold beer, and rich history. I just have a hard time finding that same atmosphere here in the states.

  2. Sure wish the American cities weren't so car dependent. European cities are designed with pedestrians in a higher priority

  3. Better public transportation

  4. You pay the price on the price tag. None of this mystery sales tax business.

  5. Long ass vacations. You guys seriously get a month off!?

  6. People drinking in the day without it descending into a brawl. This is for continental Europe, not you Britain.

  7. Toilet stalls that go to the floor. Why do I have to see some guy sitting on the toilet when I go to the toilet?

  8. Döner kebab

  9. Pork pies. Meat pies in general, really. I never had them until I moved to the UK, never saw them in America. Anyone who opens a pork pie shop in the US will probably become a millionaire. They're amazing!

  10. German driving- ie get out of the left lane if you aren’t passing and higher speed limits

  11. The mentality of using public transport. Okay this is not strictly cultural speaking but still. More frequent trains, subways, buses, and trams. After living in the UK for a few years, moving back to find there's only one freaking train a day between Indianapolis and Chicago is unfathomable.

  12. The fucking metric system.

  13. I wish we were more laid back about drinking and nudity
