Acceptable behaviors abroad

Re: Acceptable behaviors abroad

  • Drinking is so, so different here. There's tons more of it and it's just a part of every-day life. Particularly around Christmas - there's AM drinking at my work that time of year, it's insane.

    And I see kids / babies in the pub all the time. There's no smoking inside anyway so I don't see any problem with it. I think there's a rule about what time they can stay until, but it's so very different from anywhere I've lived in the states. But my parents don't drink at all so who knows what normal is.

    What about parents driving on mopeds/scooters with little kids and no helmets, dogs tied up to the little hook inside the lobby of albert hein, and the maxi cosi adaptor on the back of a moped for an infant?

    I saw that stuff all the time!

    I've only seen the maxi-cosi adaptor for a bike once, but all the others, yeah, see that everywhere (and in all parts of the country).

  • Everyone's going to hate me for bumping this thread, but I want to say that in this part of Canada (Ontario) it's okay to bring kids to pubs.  Not bars (clubs, concert halls), but english style pubs are kid-friendly and have high chairs and boosters.  I've had friends bringing their kids out as late as 10pm.  Usually by then someone takes the kids home and the other parent will stay out.

    I'm starting to think that it's just an Alberta thing or something. I just really don't think you can bring kids to pubs. Restaurants are separated into family restaurant areas and lounges for this reason - like a Boston Pizza, you know?

    And at home if I saw someone with their kids in a pub I'd immediately think it was very trashy, whereas here we do it all the time. Honestly, in Ontario and also BC I could see it being more acceptable, for some reason.
