How the middle class lives in different countries

When traveling to other countries, we always pay attention to the local architecture in one way or another. This mainly concerns the sights that every traveler takes pictures of abundantly and brings their images home with him. Also, many tourists leave reviews of the hotels where they stay, providing them with indispensable photos of the interiors and exterior of the building.

But all this does not give a complete picture of the life of local residents. The rich live about the same everywhere, the poor in general, too, but the average citizens in each country live differently. You are lucky if among such citizens in another country you have friends who will invite you to visit their house. If not, it doesn't matter: this collection contains the most typical middle—class dwellings in different countries. And this is very little like what is usually shown in the movies.
