- sky here is always blue
- drivers in EU are kinda annoying stopping and letting me pass when just standing next to crossing even when I dont really intend to cross yet
- streets are completely empty
- sidewalks are empty, not full of trash and people occupying them with their illegal stuff
- cashiers are kinda lazy, you have to take stuff out of your basket and put it on moving belt, already used that in China cashier was doing everything
- shops are closed half of the time, very ealy in evening, almost all weekend, not open 7 days a week like in China
- almost nobody stares or pay attention to my nonwhite wife despite currently staying in very small town, I was being stared at all the time even in cosmpolitan Beijing
- people here in EU in general are very soft and weak caring too much about others instead of being selfish, more agressivity would be sort of welcome, though it is to my advantage
- cars have to wait for dumb green light when turning right (always green in China)
- I can go straight from my apartment to train or subway without single check, unlike like 7 checkpoints in Chinese train station
- cash is still very common when buying things like ice cream though Visa paywave is very convenient in bigger shops, just touch terminal and you are done, in China you can live with Wechat payments in your phone but very inconvenient with scanning QR codes instead of just touching card to terminal in Europe
- even in very small town you can find people speaking English or at least some basics, you would have trouble even in cosmopolitan Beijing, dont dare in some smaller place
Overal I am glad I moved back, though life in China was more easy going and less serious, because it was considered more like videogame than real life, because we all know as foreigners there is no future there and you have to go back sooner or later.
