So its not surprising that the internet has all kinds of content just showing people some of the differences.
For example, the longest maternity leave by law is inBulgaria, at 410 days.
That is, quite noticeably, almost two less years than three.
Incidentally, German law sets the minimum paid time off for workers at20 days a year.
The EU and German average is 24% of the population beingsmokers.
This would suggest that the average German is either skipping their cigarette breakfast or just eating something else.
Remember, there is a pretty clear difference between visiting as atouristand actually living somewhere.
For example, Germany in particular is famous (or notorious) for its pretty strictrecycling laws.
There are strict fines for non-compliance and various sub-rules for things like Christmas trees.
Going through some degree of surprise is normal, indeed, culture shock is to be expected.
