Though only a stone’s-throw away across the grand Atlantic, Europeans and Americans are as different as night and day.While Americans enjoy a mind-numbingly huge array of television stations via satellite or cable, Europe (though able to acquire said choices) also has a slew of nationally funded channels that offer them different types of programming (and in the case of the BBC in Britain, free of advertising). Europeans are more likely to be found eating as a family around the dinner table than many Americans who prefer the convenience of eating in front of the television.
