Picture 746 million people living in 50 (+6) countries, speaking 24 (official) languages in a continent that stretches 3,930,000 sq mi. Yep, we’re talking Europe. The precious land of long history, incredible culture, countless destinations, and people, the majority of whom are bilinguals.

But in order to really get the European lifestyle and all the quirks that come with it, you have to step outside the tourist comfort zone. Luckily, there’s a whole subreddit dedicated entirely to all things European, so we can get a better glimpse of the sung “old world.”

With a whopping 2.9M members, r/Europe has a collection of some of the most interesting things that happen here. Be sure to upvote your favorite posts!

It’s one thing to see the old European countries, their tiny streets and delicious movies on a TV screen, and another if you actually spend some more time there. It takes time to uncover any country, and we are speaking 50 (6+) crammed in one continent!

One family of five who call themselves ‘wanderlusters' have been travelling the whole world as they are focused on adventure and travel to all of their bucket list destinations. “We are a family of five, Jolene (Mum), Andrzej (Dad), Katie-Lee, Lily Anabella and Avalee-Rose (our three daughters),” they told us. The family shares their journeys on their Wanderlust Storytellers blog that brings enthusiasm and excitement back to family-focused travel.

With so much hands-on experience and knowledge of various cultures, Bored Panda reached out to them to share their impressions of Europe and how it differs from all the other corners of the world they’ve visited. “Europe is a world in itself, full of culture, music and friendly people,” they said and added that “It is filled to the brim with history, delicious food, fascinating architecture and extraordinary sight-seeing.”

Shame on anyone blaming her for being 16 and pregnant. I don't know what sex-ed is like in Slovakia or how expensive condoms are, but I'm betting a child who was winning races in ballet flats doesn't have obscene amounts of money or social privilege. Cut the teen some slack.

The sow stole his laptop (in the yellow bag). After stepping in the box, the sow lost speed and dropped the bag reuniting the man with his laptop and providing mankind with some really hysterical pictures.

According to Pew Center, views of the economy play a large role in how people generally view the European Union. According to their study, those who think their country’s economic situation is good are more likely to have a favorable opinion of the EU in most countries surveyed.

“In Sweden, for example, 81% of those who think the Swedish economy is in good shape also have a positive view of the EU; just 42% of those who think the economy is functioning poorly share that sentiment,” the study stated.

Most likely to discourage German bomber crews. It didn't protect them completely though as Dublin was bombed (accidentally). Downed aircrew (from both sides) were interned in a pretty agreeable fashion until the end of hostilities. Most (upon their personal assurance and personal guarantee that they wouldn't do a runner) were allowed out of camp - even down to the pub in the evening! How civilized!
