Funny customs that cause culture shock between countries.

1. "In Japan, Garbage Disposal Can Be Stressful!"

In Japan, you can live independently…
but fail to dispose of garbage properly,
and your neighbors might immediately suspect you're an alien.

Why is garbage disposal in Japan like a national exam?

Because their system is super specific.

Monday: plastic.

Wednesday: paper.

Friday: burnable trash.

And different cities have different rules!
Did you dispose of it incorrectly? The garbage is returned.
Yes, returned to your front door…
with a shame sticker.

For foreigners, it's funny and stressful.
But for Japanese people, it's a form of respect for shared space.

So if you're in Japan…
garbage disposal isn't just about cleanliness.
It's about being part of the community."
"2. "French People Are Rude If They Don't Greet the Seller with ‘Bonjour’!"

In Indonesia: you enter a store and immediately ask for the price.
In France: you enter a store without saying "Bonjour"?
You're considered extremely rude.
Why does just a greeting create such a tense atmosphere?

Because in France, greeting each other is a mandatory ritual.
"Bonjour" isn't just a formality, it's a marker:
"I respect you as a human being."

If you go straight to the point,
they feel: "Hey, do you think I'm a robot?"

Interestingly, this culture makes every interaction warmer.
But… it can also make foreigners mentally exhausted first.

In France, politeness isn't about smiling.
It's about knowing when and how to start a conversation.
