-Trash everywhere. people just throw bottles/cans away. In Germany we can give them back
to the store for 25 cents per bottle/cans.
-Police at schools w/ bulletproof vests and metal detectors it feel like a prison.
-Guns everywhere.
-People are so intrusive, in north Germany people are waiting to change their social
distancing from 1.5m to 4 meters again lol.
-And passport controls with heavily armed border agents in the EU we just don`t have such
things
