America is advanced economically due to capitalism. But this has a negative effect on society as greed has overtook everything in the US. Corporations run the country and logic does not come in to play but money always does. Europe is the opposite, the people run the country not greedy corporations and these corporations are not given much control which benefits society
I would say you will love Europe, now that you are in Belgium, you can easily travel around Europe to much nicer areas as Belgium isn't considered one of the top EU countries to live in.
I'm going to travel to Paris . But as of now, there is a serious gunman taking hostages so I will not take any chance till the army gives a clear that it is safe :p . Thank you for your reply . And so far . I can honestly agree with everything your saying and i havn't even been in Europe that long and I already see mass difference in the way they treat there people .
