The most frequently discussed issues among Russian citizens today: the depreciation of the ruble, rising prices, crisis, debts, etc. Moreover, we very often try to try our Russian reality on the conditions of Europe. "But in Europe … But in the West …" - these are also quite popular phrases that can be heard everywhere. But how many of us were there? And even if it was, it’s just like a tourist. How many of these people lived that ordinary European life, learned European problems?

And how many dreaming to go to Europe. Life is better there, salaries are higher. Of course, from TV screens, from the mass media, we see a lot of what we ourselves are deprived of in Russian reality. But very rarely we are shown the wrong side of such a life. Her negative traits. In this article, we will see what negative aspects of European life can push us away from the idea of ​​living and visiting Europe for a long period.

Life in Germany

How do people in Germany limit themselves:

  • All week they collect coupons in order to use the best offers from supermarkets at the end of the week, because even for a fairly wealthy family, the main thing is the budget, which must be saved.
  • If you are a resident of Germany and are planning a vacation, you just can’t count on a luxurious 5 * hotel. If you have a family, this will be a standard budget hotel, where breakfast, lunch, dinner will be included (so as not to spend more on restaurants). If you are a lone traveler, then more than a hostel and do not count.
  • A resident of Germany will not take baths “by the hour”, as is customary here for relaxation, nor will a long shower. Because such procedures are expensive.
  • The taxes you have to pay while living in Germany will be much more than in our country. This is not 13% form of personal income tax. The percentage can go up to the value of 40-50% of your income. Moreover, you will not be able to hide your income, the tax administration system is very developed here.
  • When you live in Germany, 10 hours yesterday is the deadline for making a noise. And it doesn’t matter for what reason: your child, birthday, guests come once every 200 years. Otherwise, the neighbor will not just come and turn on you, he will immediately call the police and have to spend the night there. Anyway, the topic of neighbors is relevant. The main thing is not to bother, not to be a pain for others. This also applies to parking rules near the house.
  • If certain rules are not respected, it will not work to buy off the police. Very high fines will have to be paid and many hours worked for the state.

  • If you live in France and it’s winter outside, then your apartment will be cold. You will not be able to go and agree with the management company to make the apartment warmer. You will simply be advised to dress warmer. Because heat is expensive.
  • Products in the country are bought seasonally, depending on the region of residence. For example, buying tomatoes in January is not possible. Since those that are growing in their region are simply not there yet, the imported ones are very expensive.
  • In fact, each region eats its own meat, its own cheese, its own vegetables, and drinks its own wine, which is why it is the cheapest. Such a phenomenon is even called cheese and wine patriotism there.
  • In the apartment of an ordinary Frenchman, mold is a constant companion, moreover, black mold, which is very famous for its negative effect on the human body that affects the lungs. But removing mold is very expensive, so people live with her in a community.

Other European countries

In other European countries:

  • Everywhere you have to pay for parking your car. Moreover, the amounts payable are not even the same as in Moscow, they are much higher. In addition to payment, there is also the problem of finding parking places.
  • Buying an expensive car in Europe is very illogical and wrong. The smaller your car on the road, the better. Since only such a cheap to maintain. You rarely see jeeps on the roads, like ours.
  • The work of all institutions takes place strictly according to the clock. For example, from 9:00 to 12:00, and then from 15:00 to 19:00. Lunch is only from 12:00 to 14:00. Dinner only after 19:00. If, for example, you walked and overslept one of these intervals, then it is quite difficult to find something suitable. Everything has its own way, which must be observed and not stand out from it.
  • Most Europeans never travel at all. They do not know the world outside of Europe. If you live in Switzerland, then spend your holidays in Austria, if you live in Germany, then you only relax in Italy. Everything else is expensive and not lifting, especially for large families.

Europe

Tax systems

13% of the income. There is no progressive scale.

Reach up to 50%, in some cases higher. It all depends on the composition of the family, family income, even religion. The average rate varies in the amount of 40%. There is a progressive scale, whoever gets more, pays more.

Roads

Of course, in Russia this indicator loses.

In Germany, roads are excellent in quality. But if you are a driver in Germany, then you simply must be polite and accurate on the road. Since the fines there are not comparable with the size of ours.

Traffic jams

The problem in large cities

The problem of traffic jams is no less significant. In addition, a significant problem is parking and their cost.

Car wash

For every taste

Only automatic - with a very low quality wash.

Purity

No tight control

He is obliged to clean up after himself, around his house, behind his dog, behind his car. If you do not want to clean yourself, then hire other people. Services are not cheap.

A few words about the differences

There are several points that I would like to note as an advantage of our country:

  • In our country, the most beautiful women. Any Russian girl among Europeans is just a beauty.
  • The attitude towards us among Europeans, as a rule, is downward, which does not characterize them very well.
  • European men are usually stingy. For example, it is considered normal practice that everyone in a restaurant pays for himself. Even when a guy invites a girl on a date.

What people?

Characteristics of relationships between people:

  • Hypocrisy is very developed. Not always a smile in our direction means sincerity and a friendly attitude. This is usually insincere.
  • In the West, a very good and humane attitude to animals, but at the same time, if a person does not have medical insurance, it is unlikely that an ambulance will come and save (or for a lot of money). This is the duality of humanism.
  • The relationship between parents and children is absolutely cold, a huge distance. It is customary for us to take care of children, even children have their own separate lives.
