Daily life for the average person here seems very rushed, kind of like it is for working people in the US (they call it USA or America) but there is a little more imperativeness to it. We have people begging in the US but here you wonder if some of these people will make it through the winter. We have homeless shelters and food banks. Here I don't know of anything like that, it's more of a fend for yourself attitude. This attitude is aggressive but without the confrontative nature we Americans add to it. I've seen some good things here that we can learn to adopt like bumps in the sidewalks so blind people can get around easier but the attitude as a whole of everyone for themselves I think needs to take on a little more of a look out for your neighbor behavior as well.
