Nice write, it's always interesting to see that people from other part of globe see many things different, while for me most of it seems to be normal.

1. Lisbon wasn't that bad in fact the weather was amazing compare to other parts in Europe, if you ever in England you see real bipolar weather all year around, plus even in summer is colder than the weather we had in Lisbon.
2. Us Pop music is played everywhere in the world, you go to Russia would be exactly the same to be honest I don't know why because your pop sucks, but mass love it.....
3. I've had like 5 coffees a day in Lisbon, but generally in south of Europe day starts from afternoon, for example main dinner is around 10pm
4. This is in most European countries I tip very rare unless the service is really good, I would be well annoyed when someone would include tip in my bill.

But getting everything together thats what good about Europe, as each country is completely different.... I personally loved Lisbon, amazing vibe and people.
