Visiting Europe and noticing little differences between Europe and the US

I went for 10 days and visited Switzerland, Germany, France, and The Netherlands.

I'm going to start off with a huge shocker. They're not fat compared to us. Really, for the most part, they're not fat at all. I know, shocking right?
And these people eat tons of ice cream, cheese, bread, beer, french fries served with mayonnaise on it. There are ice cream shops everywhere and they were all busy! They have MacDonalds, Burger King, Pizza Hut, KFC etc...

They smoke a lot. Europe in Germany/France/Switz is not on the non-smoking bandwagon. Ashtrays at every restaurant we went to. It was crazy how much they smoke.

By what they consume and smoke they are thinner than we are but do not seem to live a healthier lifestyle.

Yes a lot of them commute by bike and walk a lot but give me a fricking break. Their 110 calories extra they burn is not enough. It's something else.

Most everyone speaks 4 languages fluently. Switzerland, for example, speaks German, French, Italian and Romanish. That's their native languages except almost everyone speaks English. So the majority of the population speaks fluently at least 5 languages. That is impressive.

In the touristy, city areas, Switzerland mostly, little to no bums begging for money. No homeless people hassling you with their dogs. Unlike here where there are panhandlers everywhere.

Soccer is obviously king but they don't really appear to play anything else except a little tennis. It is soccer and only soccer.

Oh and they are not diverse. Lots of white people around. Kind of like South Dakota. But remember kids, we're racist...
