The first, and most noticeable difference is the almost complete lack of  TV's, I think this represents the way not only the country, but the difference in the way people thinks, and the global point of view they have, they don't waste their time inside the living room watching an empty brain destroying machine, they go out and do something.

but this difference is settled by something else, something bigger than just them being better or more evolved than us, an apparent fact that I deny to accept, it is a thing of the way they rise their children, the most significant difference is in the schools, on wich, all school days end not only at the same hour, but at 3:30 in the afternoon, this is a MAJOR difference in comparison with our school sistem on wich we have to stay at school at least up to 4:05 PM, some days even up to 5:30 PM, two hours later than them, What is the difference? first of all, independence, I really doubt there could be any 30 year old man still leaving with his parents after all of the time he spent home alone during his childhood, and second, and most importantly all of the things you can do in that time, on wich you can not only do the yons of homework they send home, but you can also do... well, basically anything you want, for example my own host-brother had a jogging and a high-speed bycicle club, with that much time, virtually anything is possible.
