Because of France's social security, I spend significantly less on healthcare than I did in the US. Getty ImagesThe most surprising thing about moving to Paris was the realization that healthcare costs significantly less here than it does in the US, where steep copays and premiums are par for the course. Of course, I knew about France's healthcare system before I relocated, but it was something altogether different to experience it firsthand. The US has a mixed healthcare system that doesn't provide universal coverage, so it was quite the change to see France's social security, a government-funded healthcare system, cover every person who permanently resides in the country. Everyone in France contributes to social security, so it isn't free, but the healthcare system reimburses most medical costs.

According to TikTok, Americans Are Very, Very Thirsty

At one point or another, most Americans have heard that they should drink about eight glasses of water a day to stay hydrated. But the recommended amount of water consumption in the United States is still higher than that of many other European countries. “So we’re still trying to define what hydration means.”Yet the scientific uncertainty over hydration hasn’t prevented Americans from applying a moralistic lens to water consumption. Americans buy status water bottles to carry around like fashion accessories and enter their daily water consumption into fitness-tracking apps. “Americans have this mind-set of, they’re not just drinking water, they’re competitively drinking water,” said Amanda Rollins, an American who has lived in Paris for the past six years.
