@rose-colored-fancy – Ooh I love learning about little cultural quirks! It’s so fascinating and equally fun to put them in my own worlds. That’s so funny about the flowers! XD

Recently I was watching a documentary about Greece, and on one island they whitewash all their houses so it’s not as hot, but the doorways are all different colors, so everyone knows which house is theirs. 😛 It looks really beautiful.

Also, in Vietnam you always take off your shoes before going in someone’s house, and wear sandals or flip-flops instead. They usually have several spares lined up just inside the door for visitors. And a lot of times, when talking about a meal, you don’t say “Let’s eat dinner” or something. It literally translates to “Let’s eat rice” because, chances are, there’s going to be some form of rice in the meal. 😛

I did have another example but it escapes my mind right now. XD

Cool topic!
