30 Things That Are Normal In Some Countries But Not To The Rest Of The World

Every person in the world has a different concept of what is normal. Just think about it.

For some, it might be normal to wake up at 3 in the morning in order to go jogging around 4. For others, it might be normal to talk to their mothers in baby talk, even if they're fully grown adults.

It's just different for everybody. Much like that, each country has norms that the rest of the world might consider weird or absurd.

In some countries, women are allowed to walk around in bikinis, while in others, women have to cover every inch of their skin except for their eyes. Even the way baskets are held can differ from one country to another.

There's no one right way to do everything; it's all just relative.

On Reddit, two users, ojlol2 and monitonik, posted separate questions seeking to answer what these things are that are normal in one country but not in the rest of the world.
