Some American Customs are not Apply in Other Countries – part 1

Free refill in many coffee shops in America

Every countries have their own customs, some not apply to other countries as of America.

Some American customs are considered not normal, pretty bad and even cruel to other countries. Just for few examples:

- Free refill
- Arrival on scheduled
- Left hand
- Open the gift
- Finishing the food
- Shoes inside rooms
- Older money
- Imperial system

No free refill for drinks in many countries. Refill means pay another drink. Drinking water not free as well.


Writing with left hand, illustration purpose.

In America or other industry countries that we “require” to arrive on time. My experienced in Japan that Japanese arrived 15 or 30 minutes before schedule.

But not in developing countries such as in many Asian and South American countries. If we come on time, it means we arrive too early, could be 1 hour before schedule in the USA.

It is traditional or religious or even practical values to use right hand in many Asian countries.

They could be Buddhism, Confucianism or Shintoism countries (China, South Korea or Japan); Hinduism countries (India or Nepal); and Muslim countries (Bangladesh, Indonesia, Malaysia or middle east).

Never use left hand for any purposes (shake hand, writing, eating) in those countries.

  7. Fascinating post! I was surprised about the use of left hand and so amazed that Japanese arrived 15 or 30 minutes before schedule. I wish it would happen everywhere.

  8. It is always good to find out the customs of a country before you visit. I didn't know about writing only with the right hand. What I always hated was driving on the opposite side of the road! Couldn't get use to it!

  11. Doesn't the hand use come from a tradition of using the left hand to "wipe oneself?" Interesting tidbits of information.

  13. I got used to no shoes inside while in Japan. Even 20+ years later, it always feels strange to wear shoes inside a home, particularly my own.

    I always found the aversion to lefthandedness hard to take. I am a righty but my sister and wife are both lefties so the awareness has always been a part of my life. It seems cruel to force anyone to learn to do anything with their off-hand.
