    When in worked in Yellowstone, it was a culture shock for two reasons

    One, people just drink hot water, like tea temps but no tea - thus apparently is an asian (sorry for lack of specifics) and is used along with other eastern medicine practices

    Two, if you plug in more than six small appliances (electtric kettle, hair dryer, etc) it will trip the breakers for that floor of the mammoth hot springs hotel.

    Less shocking was the English couple who mistranslated directions to their room. The “first floor” would be the second floor for an American, they apparently starting counting at zero, which us great for arrays, not so good for describing a floor as 0 or in English, ground floor.
