 One thing that shocked me deeply in Europe was I saw no young people in high end restaurants and hotels. Not even like 5 stars, but just moderately good ones. 

I only saw old people there. Younger people were either from America or Asia. 

Every time I stepped into a good restaurant in Europe, everybody was like dressed up. 

I was like: WTF, I am just wearing a T shirt and look totally cheap. But this place is not even expensive, am I living in alternative reality?

Young people in Europe must dislike good places.

Or, the economy has failed them so that they couldn’t afford shit.
