One of the
main reasons we travel is to experience the way people live in other
countries. Their lives are often similar to ours with everyday
chores, work, family, and eating out, but there are still plenty of
differences that no one writes about in guide books and travel
articles. Sometimes the country you visit seems like it’s on a
different planet altogether! Here are 12 facts about life in other
countries that seem too weird to be true.
Kenya
In Kenya local buses are painted in all kinds of crazy colours and graffiti. You will often hear loud music playing from the speakers to make the drive more entertaining. The driver always tries to go as fast as possible despite the traffic, so prepare yourself for a fun and bumpy ride!
Croatia
Croatia is a country where people drink coffee for hours. This is true! If you sit with one cup of coffee for 2-3 hours no one would bother you or ask you to leave. It’s a totally normal thing and people actually enjoy it very much.
Israel
In Israel kids are very independent. You can see a 5-year-old walking around on his own, getting into a bus and going to school. Sometimes these kids even look after their small brothers and sisters. They feel absolutely safe!
Nigeria
Electricity
blackouts happen quite often in Nigeria, but locals don’t seem to
mind. People don’t make a big deal out of it and just continue
whatever they were doing, unlike other countries where a blackout can
be a real tragedy. Still, when electricity is on people jump and
dance in the streets like it’s the best thing ever.
