Ah yes, the freshly caught gyros in Greece is the best 😅

Weeeell, not quite silence, it is a mega city after all, but yes a packed train in peak hour Tokyo (and that IS packed let me tell you) can be remarkably quiet

I spot a market opportunity for Uber Ambulance.

So is it 10k for 30 miles? (Asking silly from a country with universal health care)

Cost is depending on your state and local area, as well if you are have insurance or are low income. Where I live, it is free, they bill your insurance who must cover it in full, but if you do not have insurance, they cannot bill you for it.

$10,000 for me to go 100 miles to the closest burn center.

You survive your medical emergency then relapse when you get your bill

In our area (Georgia), a 3 mile ambulance ride by the private ambulance service was $900. health insurance covers part of that.

This is absolutely true, in case anyone doubted.

A cab would be cheaper!

OK, morons, I know how defensive the Brits are about the NHS. I'm a Brit and lived there. But there are aspects that are C**P, why people get BUPA!

Oddly, ambulances in the USA are owned by private companies, even if they are parked at the hospital or fire station. You'll notice company names like "Medline" on the sides of them. They charge back to medical insurance just like a doctor would. Paying for them is also a way to keep people from calling an ambulance for things that actually don't require an ambulance!

Damn, I thought I got hit hard for $750 in 2019

Its not free in Australia either, you have to have ambulance insurance

1000 € in Germany if you don't have insurance.

Hey slick, that ain’t all that’s not free !

It's impossible to post a meaningful comment here. There are a bunch of morons downvoting everything. Healthcare in the US is expensive.

Seems there's a raging mob of downvoters on this thread. Must be plants from the healthcare business, LOL!

But at least the tax money are well spent on free refills.

I don't pay anything for medical care. I planned ahead. You use too many selective incidents to paint the whole. Like most other Euros...

You can almost hear the sound of thousands of graffiti enthusiasts packing their bags now.

Of course they know their rights! There's a whacking great sign telling them!

I love separating my trash, feels like I’m helping in some way

My wife and I went to Belize earlier this year. Beer (and maybe soft drinks also) came in glass bottles. You paid a deposit when you bought it, and got the deposit back when you returned the bottle. The bottles are returned to the bottling plant, where they are washed and re-used. That practice was common in the US decades ago.

In the UK we call them Lollipop ladies/men as the big sign they hold yup to stop traffic for the kids looks like a lollipop

NZ police only carry pepper spray and batons. They have tasers in a locked box in the car. I remember when a guy was threatening me with a machete on the street three police cars screamed up and three officers jumped out of each car with their their batons at the ready. They seemed a little disappointed I'd already talked the guy into sitting in his car and waiting for the police to arrive.

Paying for bags in shops is simply to encourage you to reuse them and reduce plastic waste.

Elephants is a bit of a stretch. Everything else wanders wherever they want. You’ll have to watch out for cows wherever you go

When I was pregnant I once had to use one of those squatty hole toilets in Italy. The walls and the floor were nasty so I didnt want to touch anything but I could barely get back up again due to my huge belly 🙈

Probably the only time they are asked for consent.

Whaaaaat??? No! This one gets me. If I bring something to your house, it’s yours - that half packet of barbecue chips? Yours. Those 3 remaining beers in the 6-pack? Yours. That unopened box of chocolates? Yours (damn it)

People jump from moving buses and trains in several African countries...

You haven't lived until you've ridden a tuktuk through downtown Thailand open air on a 6-lane road with the driver cutting through 2 of those lanes to avoid the on-ramp onto an expressway that is above another expressway. True Story

That's about $37, for anyone who was wondering.

In the UK Lunch is referred to as 'dinner', except when it is referred to as 'Lunch', or 'luncheon'. Dinner is referred to as 'Tea', except when it is referred to as 'supper', or when it is called 'Dinner'. 'Tea', is dinner, except when it is drunk. Or when it is in the afternoon or cream (then it's scones, finger sandwiches, and cake). Sometimes Tea will be high, then it is is sandwiches, cold meats and scones.

You were shocked to see people sticking to traffic rules? What country do you come from?

Don’t have light to store milk? 🤔 I don’t get it
