Young people living alone are the exception. Colombians don't feel happy about letting their girlfriends go out alone. Many men treat their girlfriends as their possession here, and many girls treat their boyfriends as their reason for happiness. Maybe I'm overestimating Belgium, but I find it hard to imagine someone telling his girlfriend she can't go out with her girlfriends. Or a girl asking her boyfriend why he went out to party without her.
Poor people get free rides on the bus here.
There's a lot of solidarity here. It's called 'collaborar'. People will buy things from people selling stuff on buses, poor people get free rides and things like that. In Belgium that just doesn't exist. Helping poor people there only happens through charities.
