If I pay in installments is that like a tax? Like in Europe? Eventually I pay off that debt and no longer have to pay.

who could have predicted this chain of events? that OP would post the most weak criticism of culture in france and then some angry frenchman would immediately bump the thread with a post about recent political news events in the US. if i didn't know any better i'd say it was some kind of cheap plan by OP.

There are bankruptcy laws everywhere. I don't know the specifics in America, but I doubt it is consequence free. Your credit rating is ruined, and there are limitations on the financial responsibilities you are allowed to take.

no.sounds like a tourist trap. future tip for visiting yurop:

lady/sir my water is warm i would like to have cold one.

alternatively: how much is a water? 3 euros? nevermind then.

also tapwater (which at least in germany and Switzerland tastes great is mostly free)

For real though this is such a strange concept. Here you get a big glass of cold water first before even ordering anything, and it's free of course.

I don't really go to malls that often. Mostly casino/hotels, and restaurants.
