We are always curious about the outside world, and we always want to see other people's worlds, to see if all living beings are suffering, but we are lonely and wandering, so we travel far away again and again, and enter other people's worlds again and again.
I have to say that going out for a walk once in a while will really be rewarding. I used to live in England and life there was very different.
1. British people do not "roll", and they feel that no matter what profession they are engaged in, the happiness index is very high.
In the UK, you'll find construction workers who are spirited guys who pass by and greet you warmly, with a smile so warm you you you don't feel tired.
Those elite white-collar workers are busy, and they always use the afternoon tea time to go out to drink coffee and eat some small snacks. Construction workers, drivers, plumber workers, will not be too involved, they will arrange their working hours reasonably.
2. In the UK, white-collar workers do not necessarily earn more money than taxi drivers, and plumbers can earn thousands of dollars in an hour, so people do not despise manual workers, on the contrary, skilled workers are very popular. In the UK, you can live well by learning a trade.
So, there is no professional bias in the UK, and they believe that everyone's work has its own value. This kind of concept makes them feel no pressure when choosing a job.
3. The British almost do not work overtime, and when it comes to getting off work, the leader walks faster than you, and the "996" work model does not exist. People only see work as a part of their lives, and they don't think that work should interfere with normal life.

9. Britain gives people the feeling that it is very modern and backward, and it is inferior to the domestic metropolis in many aspects. **There are few customer service and mobile payment, and online shopping or ordering takeaway is not as convenient as in China.

10. Britain is not a humane society, and if you want to do something, invite people to dinner, and trust relationships, this way will not work in the UK.

17. Although the British bus is not punctual, the British hate people who are late, they are very punctual, and it is very impolite to be late.
18. The British crowd the subway is always slow and leisurely, the Japanese crowd the subway and dumplings, and even have a special "subway booster" to stuff people into the carriage, the British will never be like this, they will never be in a hurry, this trip is more than waiting for the next trip.
19. There are a lot of thieves in the UK, so you should pay attention to taking care of your things when you go out, and there are also bikers, so you should be more cautious when you go out with a backpack.

30. In the UK, don't dry your clothes outside, some people feel that the house is very damp and the clothes are uncomfortable to wear, so they dry them outside, and they are complained by their neighbors.

36. The washing machine of many families in the United Kingdom is placed in the kitchen, because their bathroom is very small and cannot put the washing machine, and the balcony is the place they use to drink tea and watch the scenery, and they can't put the washing machine, so the kitchen has become the best place to put the washing machine.
37. The British don't like to be said to be white-skinned, because they prefer wheat-colored **, which is a sign of wealth and leisure.
38. There is no nightlife in the UK, and many shops close before 7 p.m., which is too boring.

For those who are used to living in the big cities of the country, there are many inconveniences in the UK, and life can seem somewhat lonely and boring.
What kind of life to choose, we should ask our hearts, no matter where we are, we must let ourselves live calmly and happily, life is only 30,000 days, the most important thing is to be happy, happy!
