No. You are not misunderstanding me. You are right that there are several European countries with a well spread normalization of using credit cards. In the European countries that I've spent most of my life, and which are also some of

Funny enough for most people, I suffered the problem of drinking too much water. I could easily drink 8+ liters a day. This brought me terrible headaches and killed my productivity. I did not find the reason for a long time since in that pe
