The strangest thing I discovered when I started to travel the world was that in no country where I have traveled I have felt discriminated against. On the contrary, I have been received and treated with respect and kindness wherever.</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>Now with respect to foods and customs there are plenty of rare things in the world. Although they are only rare, depending on what one is used to seeing, living or eating in their corner of the world.</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>Of the things that come more to my mind right now:</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>In Japan, use bathrooms and instead of paper one cleans with a stream of water.</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>In Taiwan you see that you take the viper blood freshly taken out of the animal! (Wakala)</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>In Colombia they offered me a red wine, I thought it was wine and it turns out it was a black coffee.</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>In Mexico, the tacos of brains and eyes were rare and disgusting, nowadays I enjoy them a lot.</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>In the United States they take the bill to your table before you finish eating, it was strange, I thought they were running me, and it turns out that they consider it part of being efficient.</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>In short, traveling is beautiful and it is worthwhile to continue discovering weird things in this beautiful world that we cohabit.</p>","appDepth":2,"appParentPermlink":"p3rgqad45","appParentAuthor":"fabioladiaz","musingAppId":"aU2p3C3a8N","musingAppVersion":"1.1","musingPostType":"answer"}" |
