Cultural Shock in Europe
The first time I went to Europe and I remember, it was a great trip but it was obvious many differences between the Latin American culture and the European culture. I lived here in Nicaragua and I was used to the culture from here, even though my dad is European and I have some European culture inside my culture I was still amazed on many different small details that make these two cultures differ.
Many small differences change a complete culture. One main difference is because of the temperature or the lifestyle many people smoke a lot during everyday life. A lot of people that I know in Europe actually smoke a lot everyday. Another difference is the drinking age, although it is 18 in almost all Europe it isn´t wrong if someday a teenagers drinks wine, it is actually very common because of the temperature or in celebrations.
Another thing that shook me is how people act everyday, in the street while driving people are more calm and organized while here in Latin America there is a road rage everyday. In restaurants, bars and public spaces you can notice the difference between Latin America and Europe, how people are gentle, respectful and organized.
