Friday question...
One of the things I enjoy most about this community is seeing people from so many different countries and cultures, so I thought this could be a fun one.
Here in Brazil 🇧🇷, we have something that feels completely normal to us but can look absolutely terrifying to someone seeing it for the first time:
Our electric showers. 🚿⚡
Instead of having hot water supplied by a central boiler or water heater, many Brazilian homes have an electric heating element built directly into the showerhead.
So yes... we basically combine water + electricity right above our heads every morning and think absolutely nothing of it. 😂
For us, you turn the shower on, select the temperature and take your shower as usual.
For many foreigners, though, the first reaction is something like:
"Wait... there's electricity INSIDE the shower?!" 😳
And the funny part is that millions of Brazilians have grown up using these every single day, so we rarely even think about how unusual the concept might look from the outside.
Now I'm curious:
What is something completely normal in your country that might look strange, scary, or absolutely crazy to someone from another culture?
Food, traditions, technology, habits, everyday life... anything goes! 😄🌍
