When thinking of daily activities, we are all accustomed too, we may actually think the rest of the world does it the same way, well not in many countries... from differences in hallucinations to how we all celebrate birthdays, here are The Weirdest Everyday Customs Around The World.<br /><br />11 Pass Me The Illegal Ketchup!!<br />When thinking of French fries, you eat them with… yes ketchup, and so are burgers, hotdogs and more... in fact there is are saying that indicate that if you don’t like the food, put ketchup on it!! It will fix it…but not all countries view ketchup as magnificent as others. In France, there is a ketchup ban, elementary schools can have ketchup with their French fries about once a week and that’s about it, no ketchup can be put or mixed as an ingredient in the cafeteria foods, especially French dishes... the reason is actually pretty understanding, due to globalization, lots of food chains are flooding the French market, so they want children to be familiar with French traditional dishes so not to forget their roots… <br /><br />10 The 2nd Grade Janitor<br />When thinking of going to school, the last thing you think about is who cleans the classroom or toilets, you saw the janitor and waved hi i hope, or even went further and thank him or her for the great sprarklin clean job they do every day.

You will not see in any public event or movie theater a piece of paper left on the floor after the event ended… There is lots to learn from that!<br /><br />9 Finish Your Meal!!<br />In many countries finish up a meal means you love it and it was so good you ate the last bite. But not so fast, in china, eating all the food means the hostess did not make enough, even if you loved it so much!!! You must leave a little piece!! traditionally In Italy and South Africa, if your plate is empty they will give you more because you must still be hungry and again, you should leave a bite so not to offend. In Colombia, Mexico as well as many Latin countries, if you don’t finish and clean the plate… did you not like it? Oh but they will offer seconds since you cleaned the plate… its very confusing... since old traditions are changing, you will get different responses to this issue within the same country... it really makes it fun...<br /><br />8 Happy Birthday!!<br />When you think of a birthday, you may think it should be very universal to celebrate it one the earth goes around the sun once a year… but you are mistaken. It seems like counting the years are not necessary like in china, a baby that was born will already be a year old and
