I’m in Britain and I really hate the eyelashes, fillers and makeup here for young girls sometimes and the intense pressure I see everywhere to get them. Poor girlies.

Totally depends where in Europe tbh. I lived in Cyprus for a few years, and how bitterly cold it was in winter always shocks people. I’ve never been as cold in my life as I was mid January in Cyprus even at home - there’s zero central heating and everyone always said I must be exaggerating how cold it got but when it’s warmer outside the house than inside and there’s snow on the ground, it’s not a fun time at all.
And in the summer, running the AC left you with a €600 electric bill (before the current energy crisis) in a country where €1000 a month is a decent salary, so there’s only about 4 months a year it’s even close to comfortable at home. Going to work in a job I hated where homophobic abuse was common even from management as a gay woman was often a relief just because it was air conditioned in summer and heated in winter by electric heaters.
Bloody hell 😱 Cyprus eh? That’s rubbish. Sounds like you’ve escaped though? And moved to somewhere nicer?
We’re in the UK and about to emigrate to Mauritius. I did have Portugal on my list for a while. But I’ve decided that the whole of Europe is a bad idea and we’re going to stay out of it.
Portuguese houses have the same construction; total lack of insulation and central heating. Yet in the north it can get fairly chilly in winter! It even snows on higher ground … And it’s humid all year round so massive problems with mold. After looking at the sad state of house construction and the multitude of statues of notable ex-slavers/colonisers in the public squares 🙄, I decided against.
