One of the most exciting parts of the internet is how we are able to easily meet and connect with people all over the world. It's so interesting to compare cultures with real people, rather than just basing our expectations on movies and books. Hearing from a real person is definitely the way to go. Plus they can share all the weird sh*t that they have in their country, and it's usually not the kind of stuff you'll see in a TV show. If you think your country is weird, maybe this thread will make you realize, really, all countries are weird.

    It was Reddit user u/monitonik who asked people to share the stuff they do in their country that might seem totally normal to them, but they just know the second they leave that it will be considered weird af.

    Font - theman-dalorian • 15h I grew up in Australia and migrated to Ireland about ten years ago. First thing I noticed was people in ireland really like to talk about death in every day conversation. Who died. When the mass is. The removal of the body and the anniversaries of their death. It's so normal in conversation. In aus it's rather taboo. Theres a difference in the tone of conversation when talking about death. G Reply 4 2.0k 3 ...

    As someone who is partially Irish, I can really relate to this. Irish people sure love their dark humor, there are no dark topics that are off the table. t can be really uncomfortable if you're not used to it.

    Font - zazzlekdazzle • 18h 1 Award Probably talking to people so that no one else can hear you except the person you are directly talking to. It's a skill almost all Dutch people have, I have found, but it can be very unnerving for other people because you can be sitting pretty close to two people having a conversation and have no idea what they are saying. It's a small country and very densely populated with people who value their privacy. It's a survival skill, really. 6 Reply 2.7k 3 + ...
