Chatting with a European colleague, he complained about why you can be in front of the computer all the time, participating in various hot topics, while he spends his days busy with grocery shopping, cooking, household chores, and driving. By the end of the day, the time he can sit in front of the computer is very limited.
It does seem to be the case that once you go out, you never encounter a lifestyle as convenient as in the mainland, where you can spend long hours in front of the computer without going out and at the same time not spend much.
