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.

    I had the same culture shock moving from outside DC to Amsterdam… Both cities are huge with lots of people and tourists. But in Amsterdam, it is so different. In DC, it always seemed like people were looking to start an argument. Here in Ams, you are lucky if the person walking past you looks up and makes eye contact 😂😅 Now they think I am the weird one because I greet folks as I pass (but its pretty international in the city so it really doesn’t shock anyone either)

      That is a big city/small city thing in the Netherlands, I’m from Almelo where people greet each other on the street but here in The Hague they don’t.
