What is Europe like?


I've never been there. I'm wondering what both residents and visitors feel about that place.

Its a toilet and growing a bigger one every day.

There are 44 countries in Europe, so it's pretty diverse. Are you thinking about a holiday? if so, how long?

reply

It's amazing, a cornucopia of different experiences! You should really go. I especially recommend England, France, Germany, Italy and of course, The Netherlands!

PS And you should go asap before the Muslims take over.

This is like asking: "What are the Americas like?" including North America and South America. There is a whole different reply talking about Brazil or Mexico than there will be in talking about Canada...

"Europe" is collection of individual countries that, despite being cheek-by-jowl to each other and despite having shared genetics via migrations and invasions, each of these countries are VERY different from one another.

The culture, language, mannerism of the people in Italy will totally different from those of people in Sweden, Spain, England, etc.

You just cannot ask what's "EUROPE" like without about 30 different answers necessary. You have to ask what each individual nation is like. Your visit to France is going to be like another world compared to your visit to Scotland or Sweden.

WHy is it that Americans honestly believe every European country is the same as the next? We are actually NOT the "united states of Europe" the way the USA has a generally over-all culture and language.

I've visited 5 times, once for almost 5 months. The people are friendly, lots of new stuff every few hundred miles or so. Peaceful. I love it.

Lived in England near Liverpool for four months. I tried to see as much as I could, traveled to Wales, Scotland and quite a few different cities. I will say that the people were extremely polite and nice. It is also an absolutely beautiful country.

I've never been in Europe, but I would love to go to Paris someday. I have a friend that moved there and loves Paris.

Eastern Europe, mostly drab, cold, still getting over Communism. Nice looking women though and architecture.
Western Europe, PC nutters intent on self genocide. Lots of Muslims.
England, go to London and play "Spot the Brit".
Ireland, Scotland, nice.
Greece, dirt poor.
Italy, just along for the ride.
France, if you are a fan of old movies, don't go. It's not what it used to be.
Iceland, would love to go as well.

reply

Italy, just along for the ride.


That's how I saw Italy over 20 years. I don't know how they maintain the standard of living over there.

I think Winston Churchill put it best. At the outbreak of WW2 he asked what side the Italians are on and was told the German side.

To this he responded "well that's fair. We had them last time".

reply

not a well run country.
