like it is unusual to wear footwear indoors in asia.Italy: always offering (and accepting) food or drinks while visiting. Itâs impossible and/or incredibly rude to pass by a friendâs house without getting at least a coffee or a glass of water.
Netherlands: cold lunch. Traditionally, youâd have only one hot meal a day, and lunch would be sandwiches. I donât mean to say that sandwiches donât happen in other countries, but that hot lunches are basically unheard of in NL.
US: everyone has one or multiple cars. Walking to the grocery store means you are basically destitute. (That was quite the culture shock!)

Super sad, but here we are.

like it is unusual to wear footwear indoors in asia.Monoculture. I live in Canada, and it's pretty rare for a person, and especially a group, to have only one culture they draw from to firm their habits and identity. Even immigrants have their home and whatever mishmash of a culture their work ends up with. Its somewhat easy to tell travelers apart from residents by them having a discernible accent. If I can tell your accent is Irish, and not just some combination of Irish, British and Ukrainian, then your not here permanently.

wrote last edited by [email protected]Seen it in the Caribbean, I expect it's plenty common in places where the sun is a deadly laser.

East and Southeast Asia in general. Umbrellas are not just for rain, but protection from the sun as well.

like it is unusual to wear footwear indoors in asia.wrote last edited by [email protected]The societal problems if the US has been covered by others, but here are some culture shock ones I've experienced, in no particular order:
- still use personal checks
- put down knife after cutting your food, move fork to dominant hand
- drive through everything, including alcohol purchases
- horse and buggy on highway
- doorknobs instead of handles
- almost everyone has air conditioning, so doors and windows stay closed in summer
- double hung windows
- carry water bottles everywhere
- gas stoves and ovens are by far more popular than electric by a good margin
- in sink garbage disposals

Bagged milk
Lots of countries have bagged milk

That's also due to the still very widespread asian beauty ideal of white/pale skin.
We europeans used to idolize that too, if you look at old paintings and portraits the women have porcelain skin almost every time, because it meant you were of high enough status and wealth to not labor in the sun as the well tanned peasantry.

You have 2 neighbors where it's basically a public good.
I saw a guy in a park in Milan at almost midnight filling up a few 5 liter bottles from the carbonated water station. He clearly lived across the street and just...needed to bathe in fizzy water right then? No idea. But it's not just you all.

wrote last edited by [email protected]The police kills more people every year than the amount of people killed in mass shootings since 1983. They also repeatedly ignore reports of people who go on to commit school shootings.
You should look into common sense pig control. I think that would save more lives than just being hysterical about AR-15s.
