I'm in Galati, Romania on an e3 partners short-term mission trip! When traveling to a foreign country, there are interesting cultural twists to observe. As the old saying goes, when in Romania...do as the Romanians!!
One example: when entering a home, you must take off your shoes and leave them at the door. This is because they have rugs and carpets on their floors that must be swept - with a broom - and you want to minimize the amount of additional back-breaking labor for them (no electricity = no vacuums).
In your foreign travels, what cultural twists have you observed? Are there any that you liked enough to adopt for yourself/family permanently?
I've only got 5 minutes on this shared computer...gotta go!
