SUMMARY:
– In Germany, on the night before the wedding day, the bride and groom along with all their guests get together and break all the porcelain dishware! Afterwards, though, the soon-to-be newlyweds have to clean up the mess.
– In Italy, you can imagine my surprise when I found out that you can only order a cappuccino there in the morning, before noon! It’s not illegal or anything, you’ll just get some disapproving looks from the locals.
– The French actually love sipping their coffee for an hour or even more while sitting at a café and reading a book, for example. They prefer espresso, though, but they totally don’t mind other choices as long as you savor your cup.
– If you like to salt your food, be warned that you shouldn’t do it when dining in Portugal. It’s not just weird, it’s downright offensive for the chef! I’ll definitely keep that in mind.
– In Romania, at some point during the ceremony, the bride gets kidnapped! Some guests, usually men, kidnap the bride and demand a ransom from the groom over the phone.
– In Turkey, when a local says “I’m on my way,” it can mean anything from “I’m getting into my car” to “I just got out of bed.”
– Uzbeks never use their left hand to eat, greet people, or pass something to someone, only the right one. It’s because the left hand is considered dirty given that its sole purpose is to, uh, clean yourself up after going to the bathroom.
– In China, you absolutely cannot write other people’s names in red ink, period. This taboo goes back to ancient times when chicken blood was used to write decrees for those who got the death penalty.
– A lot of Japanese people wear masks out in public if they catch a cold so that they don’t pass it on to others. Actually, this practice is considered a norm and even common decency.
– In Australia, people get fined for not voting. I guess 6,000 people didn’t show up for an election in Tasmania in 2010, and each of them had to shovel over $26.
– People in Bolivia consider it inappropriate to talk about work while they eat. They even avoid the topic when having lunch with their co-workers.
– Mexicans would rather die than say ‘no’ to a traveler in need of directions. So if you’re ever lost in Mexico, make sure you ask two or three people before making a final decision.
