From my experience, Europeans sit in a more ostentatious and pretentious manner, whereas American sit like slobs and show no grace.

And they should, since they wear black socks.

We know how Americans walk and sit so now we have to talk about how Americans sleep.
In my opinion Europeans just like to be frugal and keep things simple and buy just one cheap pillow, Americans will waste money buying three expensive pillows, one to cuddle with, one for head and one to put in between your legs.
Americans have larger beds so they tend to sprawl out more which is a issue when American tourist are in Europe.

Europeans don't take up as much space so they are nice to sleep with.

Finally, you see my way of thinking. White socks are bad for society.

I like my head well elevated so I sleep with 3 pillows under my head and I have a big ass head.

Lol at the pics. Too bad Napoleon's manners didn't match his refined outfit though.

Really? That's strange. Even here there's no such dress code. I go to live theaters in jeans. Is Finland some kind of an outlier among Nordic countries regarding this issue? France and Italy are seen as some of the most formal countries in Europe. Maybe Finland is similar?


During the warm season I often dress like a slob on weekends (unfortunately, one has to dress up for work). Dark socks though. White socks belong west of the Atlantic and east of the Berezina.
