On old trains, I've seen the same. Newer, highs-speed trains like the German ICE, it is not dumped on the tracks as far as I can tell.

In Mongolia we decapitate camels and sew the camel heads onto the chests of our newborn baby boys. Newborn girls get a camel tail attached to their back.

In middle east people will take a dump in the street then wipe their butt with their left hand. It is considered the dirty hand and one of the biggest insults you can do is offer to shake with the left hand.

Or so i've heard

:disgust:

And where did you hear this? Somewhere on the intarweb?

Can we please keep this at least a bit knowledgable?

He's right about the fact that eating and shaking hands with the left hand is considered an insult . . .

But not the dump on the street :roll:

In Sweden it is normal to take a sauna naked. Co-ed. I've seen every one of my female and male friends naked. Americans always think it is some sort of orgy, when in fact there is nothing sexual about it at all.
As a matter of fact, if you are not naked in the sauna people think something is wrong with you.

The Germans are also big nudists. The outside temp goes over 80 and people start losing clothes next to any water source they can find. Fine by me!

OMG, remind me to visit Europe frequently!

edit: actually, nvm, i just realized that maybe men do those things too :disgust:

oh, i hear that in korea (and in korean families), when someone invites you to dinner, it's always polite NOT to finish the food because if you do finish the food, that means that the host didn't fill you up

You CAN just finish the food and tell them in elaborate words how freaking stuffed you are. And remember to profusely compliment the cook as well.
