| What are some interesting/weird things that you do or people do in your country that other countries don't? I live in Canada and I know for sure some things that may sound odd to others. For example, instead of cartons of milk, some places sell them in bags. I'm not sure if this happens anywhere else in the world, or even in any other province in Canada but it's certain you'll find bagged milk in every store where I live. |

It happens in Sudan and in local shops they even fill empty Pepsi glass bottles with milk and sell them cold lol and it's tasty as hell, good ol' times. |

| The Asian population is rapidly increasing compared to other races/nationalities. As of 2012 (i think), Hispanic are now the majority in newborns. |
 |
| I was referring to the Asian population IN the United States of America. |
|
| The Glorious and Mysterious Moose roams the lands in search for the next vehicle to completely and utterly destroy. |
 |
| Well, in percentage, Asian are currently dramatically high. OFF COURSE, Hispanics are much more in population, but its percentage isn't high because you are comparing the increase and the people who are in the country already. There are way more hispanics in the states than those being born or immigrating. |

It's kinda like thrill seeking at a theme park. Why pay for a season's pass though when simply living there gets you in for free? |

| Norway We are born with skis on our feet. We find it rude/strange to talk with stranger at the buss or train. And we wear shorts and t-shirts outside in November, maybe we put on a sweater if its snowing or some jeans if we have to walk in half a meter deep snow. |

| Well, I'm from the Caribbean, so there, go figure. @ OP, now that you mention it, we don't use carton milk either, we also sell it in bags (powder form) and also condensed milk in tins. Other than that, anything you come to expect about the caribbean, yea. Hey, at least we can drink alcohol as soon as we can hold a bottle, eh? Among other stuff... *puff* |

Among other stuff... *puff* Yep we have condensed milk in tins too! Although I've never had it. We don't sell it in powder form when it's in bags though; it's filled up and then you put the plastic bag of liquid milk into a carton thingy and cut one of the corners of the milk bag so the milk can be poured out. |
