Let's talk about things people do differently in other countries
I'll start :
My home country is Russia.
- In the US students can choose what classes to take, different grades can take the same classes, therefore some classes can have more than 100 students...
We can't choose our classes until high school but even then we're not really choosing them, it's basically just majors. You're still required to take the classes that are not in your major field but you get less hours of them. Also the entire grade has to take the same classes, different grades will never end up on the same class.
- From what my friend told me in Austria people rarely ever adapt new things. For example many places still lack 4G connection, escalators and online pay because they feel like they don't need it. Yet they feel fine.
In Russia most places have those as a must.
- Germany has adapted a new recycling police recently which makes you pay extra for bottles so that you return then after and recycle them and get your money back
As a teenager with 2 to 5$ of daily allowance this sounds like a nightmare to me
