Both the Americans and Britain almost have the same language, English but still, there is a massive difference. Not in the way they deal with the language but also in their culture and lifestyles.  Changes in geographical conditions the countries differ and so the way the Americans and British live.

The differences are interesting that the world closely observes to know them. While one country, USA spends long hours working and higher salaries. On the contrary, Britain enjoys working fewer hours with minimum expenses. It is one of the major reasons that the variance of the countries is an attraction.

Americans and British Don’t mean the same

Britain always prefers manuals over automatic cars, but it does not mean that they do not drive automatic vehicles or large hatchbacks. Americans love to drive, but they have less time to spend time driving manual cars. About 95 percent of Americans drive automatic cars that make their life better. Once again the time management is possible by automatic cars, the people of the USA need the most.

Ban Junk food ban in Britain

Television is important in Britain culture but for kids, it is after 9 pm. To reduce the increase of junk food the Britain Government is banning the advertisements on the same. No unsuitable movies or series for kids to be telecasted till 9 pm.

Life is different in the USA, kids gear up with the modern cartoon and movie channels. They do not have any bans on unsuitable shows on television.

Marriage culture

American’s marriage seems to be luxurious compared to the Britain weddings. Weddings in the UK are simple and are mostly casual dresses. It may be casual but the guests wear the hats, so-called the meal of the wedding night served is called the wedding breakfast. Britain wedding cake must be a fruitcake but in the USA the wedding cake is beautifully decorated including cupcakes.

Britain doesn’t get easy with strangers

British people love to mind their own business and never like to talk to an unknown or stranger. They do not like to speak or talk when traveling around in public. But the lifestyle of Americans varies as they love to talk to strangers if can be while purchasing goods in a shopping mall or while walking on the roads.

Houses are small but beautiful in Britain

All the rich people, billionaires, or trillionaire indeed have their luxurious apartments in the USA. As it is the country that people enjoy luxury in their lifestyle. But another difference between the Americans and British is the latter have small houses, they are happy with it. The expenses variation can be pointed with a bottle of coke when a regular coke in Britain is small to 150 ml quantity. They believe to have small and happy with much time in leisure.

On one side the life runs at a fast pace, people are busy working hard for a high salary and increasing the standard of living. While on other hand Britain live the life of minimalists.

Bengali people – Bengalis are the inhabitants of West Bengal and their staple food is ‘Maachher jhol-bhat’ (Fish curry and rice), it’s all that you have perhaps known about Bengali people, oh yes wait, it has produced damsels like Bipasha Basu, Sushmita Sen and the hold your breath, the so called firegirl Mamata Banerjee whose topic, when popped up, always brews storm in the teacup.

But listen up there lovely people, there are more things to Bengali people than what meets the eye, because they have Bengal chemical that produces the infallible black phenyl and yes the Vidya Balan endorsed Boroline whose jingle goes like this ‘Surobhito antiseptic cream boroline’ (the scented antiseptic cream Boroline). And if you visit a Bengali household, you won’t go without noticing a bottle of Gelusil which keeps acidity from the mustard sauce smeared fish curries at bay. That’s Bengali for you guys, thriving on simple living and high thinking.

Time and again, when we have visited Shimla or any other Indian hill stations for that matter, we have come across Bengali people walking with a swollen chest in their monkey caps, the Bengali alternative to beanies. Hey did you know? the proportion of how much cold a Bengali child would feel is greater than or equal to how much the mother feels.

So, if you meet a Bengali kid with two sweaters and a jacket with a monkey cap and muffler hanging like albatross around the neck, rest assured his mother felt that amount of cold.

Okay so you want more? why not? you probably didn’t know Bengalis can stop traffic, don’t go by the idiomatic meaning, they do it a lot in Kolkata. Wondering how? well, they stop buses in the middle of the road by just showing the hand, real superpower at that eh? Don’t blame them for trying it out in the other cities because that comes pathologically to them and they can’t help it like nature’s call.

You may not know yet, but the Bengali people would compare any sweet, any for that matter at the scales of Roshogolla. To them, the sugary round sweet made from split milk is the optimum and if any city that hasn’t a shop around the corner that makes avail Roshogollas, would blow a fuse with them. Did you know why Bengalis love Gujarat so much? take a wild guess! No? because fish is very cheap there and they can eat it in their heart’s content. Many variants of them for that matter.

What really distinguishes the Bengalis from any other culture around the country is their most coveted festival Durgapuja. This is the fest of life, light and colors. The festival falls in the same time as Navratri and spans for four days when Bengalis have the time of their life. It is like a breath of fresh air where there is no harness to shopping sprees, decking up and flirting a lot.

Communism runs in the veins of the Bengali people and they will parade you with the names of the communist leaders from the world. They are the walking talking dictionary of communism who worship Karl Marx, Hegel and Fichte more fondly than Ganapati Bappa . So, in case if you are eyeing a Bengali girl, make sure you are well versed in communism and weak in slapstick jokes to hook her interest. That’s all for you guys, Namoshkar!
