0:00.0	Americans. What makes you glad that you don't live in Europe?
0:05.0	In America, I'm really glad that almost everything is open on Sundays.
0:09.0	I lived in Germany for a few months and didn't plan groceries right that first weekend.
0:14.0	Grocery store was closed. I didn't have anything to eat, so I walked into town to find a restaurant,
0:20.0	and the only thing open was Pizza Hut. I don't even like Pizza Hut when I'm in the US. So the narrator's first
0:27.0	video on this channel was things that outsiders find really weird about the States. So, in
0:32.1	the spirit of fairness, let's see if we hold up over here under the scrutiny of our friends

1:09.5	In the US, coffee shops are often open pretty
1:11.8	late for people to study in, so that was weird to me. Other than that, I think living in Europe
1:16.5	would be wonderful. It's been years since I've been to Europe. Hell, the last time I was there
1:22.3	was before places in the States started banning smoking, but I do remember a ton of smoking there. I know this isn't
1:29.6	all of Europe, but I'm glad that in the States we don't have those taps that have two separate
1:34.4	spouts for hot and cold, with two faucets. They just seem like such an inconvenience. Nothing quite like
1:41.4	washing your hands as fast as you can under the hot tap before the water
