Excuses Excuses
There's all these stories about the Japanese football team cleaning their locker room before leaving and Japanese fans cleaning the stadium after games. Don't know how many of them are true, but one can hope.See more of Russia Germany Brazil Japan

Sacred Animal
At a previous convention some fans told me about their family visiting England and taking photos of *rare* animals.Sister England then visited Australia and took photos of Kangaroos.
Speaking of conventions: some of the SatW team will be at the MCM London Comic Con and at the London Film & Comic Con.

(Chop) sticky situation
I went to a running sushi restaurant with some friends the other day and we talked about how weird it feels for westerners to eat fish and rice with our fingers. We'd much rather learn how to use a new tool (chopsticks) than poke our fingers into raw fish, even if it would be MUCH easier.See more of Europe Japan

Wrong answer? Wrong question!
In Japan it's quite common for a grown man to adopt another grown man.It started when company owners wanted to keep the company in their family but either didn't have sons who could inherit it, or didn't think their sons where up for the job. So what to do? Hand it over to their daughters? Ha! Don't be ridiculous! It's much more sensible to adopt a 50 years old man from work legally and keep the company in the family that way!
Gay weddings aren't allowed in Japan, so gay couples use this whole adoption business to become family in the eyes of the law. That way they can secure each other financially and be allowed to see each other in places where only family is allowed.

Language Barrier
I've seen several Americans say they wouldn't want to visit another country without leaning the language because they feel it would be rude otherwise.It very much depends on the country. It's of course a huge advantage in countries where they don't speak English like Japan, and the Japanese generally like it when tourists at least try.
The French aren't huge fans of English, and I've met several people who would say stuff in French at me first despite me making it clear I didn't understand a word, then begrudgingly speak English.
Most Danes understand English and see no point in tourists leaning Danish. A simple "Tak" (thank you) is appreciated because it shows an interest, but Danes will generally get annoyed if you try something longer than that, start finishing your sentences and speak English to you. It can be super rude, but it's really just them telling you "It's okay, I understand English. Don't waste your time trying to learn Danish". So if you want to learn Danish it's best to practice with your friends rather than a random store clerk who'd much prefer you speak English.

By now most of us know about Japan's high-tech electric toilets, but let's not ignore Brazil's electric showerheads and their scary wires sticking out of the walls in shower cabins.See more of Japan Brazil

Poke Go where nobody has gone before
The amount of weird, ridiculous and scary things people have gotten themselves into while playing Pokemon Go is amazing.And yet, the worst thing for America about being behind bars is that he can't play the game.
