Small bars. A bar with like 12 seats really forces you to meet new people; if there’s only one other group there you kind of have to say hello.

Markings on the floor denoting directions of foot traffic. It’s nice to just be directed by the flow of the crowd to where you’re supposed to go.

The obvious one: toilets. Automatic flushing, seat lifting, etc.—this might be the hardest thing to lose returning to the States.
