Hey guys :bye:

A lot of you probably don't know this, but my major in college was sociology/anthropology (and east asian studies, hehe). I love studying different cultures, in a wide variety of subjects.

So, I was talking to a friend today about the differences between Americans and Europeans that we found strange. So I have a little experiment in discussion in mind...

I'm very curious to see what you guys find strange about cultures other than your own.

I realize this has the possibility of being a huge can of worms, but please do me a favor, and try to be as polite as possible about your answer. Also, take other people's responses with a grain of salt, this is someone's perspective, and might not actually be totally based on fact. If someone says something about your country that you don't agree is true, just try pointing it out nicely.

We might actually learn something about each other, whee.

To start off:

I find it very strange that Europeans put mayonnaise on their french fries, and butter on their sandwiches (but that last might just be Belgians :bleh: ). Yucky.
