I know not everyone on this sub is from the US but what are things you have been surprised to learn are not a “standard” in other parts of the world (compared to where you grew up)?

I’ll add a few of mine

• Ice is not standard outside the US
  • We went to Ireland and I had recently broken a part of my ankle, finding any ice was a wild endeavor
• US food portions are actually substantial
  • this one is super easy mode but still, it shocked me seeing how and what we eat against other countries
• Major cities/countries can have power grid issues (looking at you South Africa)
  • I had no idea that the grid was that unstable in SA until this most recent season of Other Way
