I’m in Britain and I really hate the eyelashes, fillers and makeup here for young girls sometimes and the intense pressure I see everywhere to get them. Poor girlies.

    Greeks are total germophobe from what I see. There are still bottles of hand sanitiser on ever restaurant table long after they disappeared from public life elsewhere in Europe. Also it’s quite common to see people using tissues to touch anything communal (traffic light buttons for example). Yet they don’t have any problem with smoking 30 cigarettes a day. The contradiction is quite amusing to me.

    Otherwise I love my adopted country and can’t picture myself living anywhere else at this point.

      I’ve only ever seen 40-50 year old women who have become this germophobe (the ones who use tissues in bus etc.), everyone else I know was more than glad to leave all that shit behind.

      They’re not wrong though, people are filthy.
      Spain is the same on smoking, sitting in the plaza with friends, cradling a baby with a fag on.
