Why Europe was special?

• Snowfall is serene. Not noisy like the rains, just beautiful!
• People live differently. Work is work, fun is fun and work is fun too many a time.
• Life is convenient - no pollution, reliable public transport, decent standards of living.
• People show humility. You can tell you professor he is bum and he will try to explain why he is like that.
• Knowledge is meant to be shared. No question is a stupid question. No answer is a privilege. No examination rigmarole.
• You do not live to compete, there are bigger things in life.
• Bureaucracy and politics exists, but still a certain minimum standard of ethics is maintained so that people's rights are not crushed in between clashing opinions.
• Photography is a delight in the continent. There is something for everyone. The hues of the walls, shades of the sky, autumn colours, winter whites all just make capturing beautiful photographs easier.
• All careers are equally respected. You are not looked down upon if you are a waiter or a house help, as long as you are earning your living rightfully.
• You can do what you want to do. No one gives a damn. You do not have to live up to anyone.
• No better place to celebrate Christmas than in Europe.
• Each city has its own soul, its unique identity.
