one of the things americans don’t take into account when comparing mentalities with europeans:

in the EU you don’t need to hustle as much to live well

good reminder @antonio

Finally went to Erewhon in Venice and am sad to report:

1. It's everything the stereotype implies, down to the twee foodie-ness, throngs of yoga-pants-americans, etc
2. It's actually good, which is what sucks about Affluent America: they have good taste, but there's an entry

In Europe of course good taste is not a function of wealth, and you can have the best meal or wine of your life in some podunk town in rural Spain or France. Also, the baseline quality of everything is higher, so you don't feel you're in cattle class if you're not wealthy.
