Differences living in Czechia vs USA #shorts

Things I do living in the Czech Republic 🇨🇿 that I never did living in the USA 🇺🇸

Some of these I never needed to do in the US and others you can’t really do there

And I want is to share my observations of some small differences between the 2 countries

So here they are!

1. Drinking alcohol in public. In the Czech Republic apart from a few specific places you can basically drink anywhere you want. I sometimes go to the park or walk on the streets with an open beer and never have to worry. Whereas in the US there are strict open container laws and it’s often illegal to drink in public areas.

2. Hang dry all my clothes. A lot of homes in the Czech Republic don’t have dryers so you have to hang dry your clothes. I always had a dryer in every place I lived in the US.

3. Pay to use public restrooms. Yes, in many places in the Czech Republic you will have to pay a small fee amount of money to go to the bathroom (usually like $0.5-1). I also have to pay for water in restaurants sometimes. But I never really saw these things before in the USA.

4. Wearing house shoes or slippers whenever I’m inside. Back in the USA I just wore socks, bare feet, or even shoes in the house sometimes. But the Czechs are super concious of always wearing house shoes and it caught on for me 😂. They’ll even occasionally switch to them at work.

5. Fly to other countries for less than $30. In America domestic and international travel is super expensive. But here in Europe I’ve been able to fly to other countries for as little as $16. Gotta love budget airlines ✈️.

What do you think of these? Do you have any more to add?
