Off Topic: Overseas Oddities

When you travel overseas, you expect some things to be different. Maybe the money is a little bit odd to handle. Maybe there are some customs that seem strange to you but you politely go along with it.

Then there are things that are just unfathomably weird, like American toilets.

Anyone who has traveled has encountered something out of their comfort zone. For me, it was encountering American toilets during my trip to Awesome Games Done Quick.

There is so much about them that is just wrong.

They’re low to the ground. They’re wastefully full of water.

Worst of all, many of the toilets that I used automatically flushed when you stood up. Nothing is more terrifying than Poseidon enthusiastically claiming your excrement.

What are some weird things you’ve encountered that made you realise how far from home you were?

And please, be respectful.
