Reverse Culture Shock

Things I could not have seen in India:

• A few weeks back, a man at the bus stop was spending his waiting time chasing cigarette butts into the gutter, systematically, undisturbed by curious onlookers. Now you understand why Switzerland is a clean country.
• Two days ago, a woman in the (clean) toilets at my workplace dropped her purse on the floor near the sink. She actually took a piece of paper to pick up the purse with. She was doing something with her ham sandwich before that – I now suspect she was washing and drying the ham.
