I have a theory that we can split the world into ‘countries where people will invite you home and charge you EUR 5 for the glass of wine they gave you’ and ‘countries where people will invite you home and cook a great meal for you and you can do the same next time’, and I’d much rather live in the latter group. It’s too much culture shock, I already tried.

@Nickiquote @skinnylatte In every major city of the "developed" world, possibly with the exception of Irish cities.

@skinnylatte Where do they do the former? Being Irish, that seems crazy.

@skinnylatte I live in a country that's arguably fits in the first category and it boggles my mind. Why are people like this. At least I can slag off my fellow countrymen with foreign friends 🤭

@vruz @Nickiquote you're kidding. In Europe? Never happened to me in 64 years in various big cities and never even heard of. I thought skinny meant that methaphorically... @skinnylatte
