- The toilet flushers are never in the same spot - sometimes buttons on top, buttons on the side, we're handles that you have to pull up (it takes forever to figure out, I swear). Far to complicated for foreigners, or Americans atleast..or maybe just me.
- When you finally manage to flush the toilet for the first time, you get unexpexted fright and adrenaline rush. It's a huge whoosh, loud, and over in the blink of an eye.
- 99% of the showers fail to keep water inside of them, so your bathroom floor is nearly always flooded.
- Luckily, to help fix the flooding issue, extra drains are placed all over the bathroom rather than just in the shower. Why not just build a higher wall when you step into the shower? I do not know.
- You have to pay to use public bathrooms. Like, wtf?
- Stalls all have full walls, doors, and legitimate locks. No worries about people peeking :]
- Over half of the differences I noticed are in the bathroom.
- People on the streets don't look anywhere but straight ahead while walking and being friendly is just being too friendly.
- Beds are low to the ground and you have one blanket.
- Stealing apples from people's trees is quite common.
