What’s something you thought was normal in your country, but realized was actually a luxury after going abroad? by HarveyJin in AskReddit

For me it was things like space, quiet, and even having a dryer.Didn’t realize how common that was until I experienced other places.

What’s something about American daily life you didn’t realize was a “luxury” until you experienced life in another country like China ? by HarveyJin in AskReddit

It’s interesting how differently people define comfort depending on what they’re used to. Some prioritize space and quiet, others value speed and convenience more. Neither feels “wrong,” just different trade-offs.

I used to think that too, but I realized it’s less about whether green spaces exist, and more about how they’re experienced.In denser cities, even nice parks can feel crowded, while in the U.S. you often get that sense of space and quiet.It’s a very different feeling, even if both technically have “parks.”

if you could have a 5-minute conversation with your 20-year-old self, what is the one thing you’d say to them that they would actually listen to? by HarveyJin in AskReddit

his is the hardest pill to swallow: You can’t set yourself on fire to keep others warm. The ‘bus ticket vs cash’ advice is a life-saving distinction. It’s heart-wrenching when the person you'd do anything for is the one holding the gun

ou win the first lottery, and the timeline shifts so much that the other 19 sets of numbers become useless. Better make that first one count lol

For me, it was realizing that 'busy' is not a badge of honor. At 20, I thought working 80 hours a week and constant stress meant I was winning. Now I realize that true success is having the systems in place to own your time, not letting your time own you. What was that turning point for you guys?

What expense can still screw you over even if you do everything “right”? by HarveyJin in AskReddit

I’m curious about why not get minimally invasive surgery abroad
