Culture Shock
Luckily I have no picture to accompany this post. I love this country, I love the language, the people, the food, the nature...but there is something I just can't get over...I see it so often, people peeing in public. Maybe it is a drunk old man, but more often than not it is a mom encouraging her little boy to pee right by the store I am about to go in. Yesterday at the zoo I got an eyeful...sure there was the usual peeing near the exhibits, but one mum had her son sitting on her outstreched arms using them as a toilet while he pooed. The kicker was they were standing about 1 meter away from the public restrooms....This I cannot comprehend...in the zoo, near the bathrooms, on the path where everyone is walking...hmmm
