in thailand "the West" and christianity are considered almost the same thing.
when it is someones birthday at the little christian church we have been visiting, the birthday person must stand up the front and everyone 'prays' the Happy Birthday song at them, eyes closed, hands raised, eye brows furrowed in seriousness. casey finds this very amusing.
'tooting' does not mean 'get out of my frickin' way' or 'you're hot' as it does in perth. it seems to mean something like, 'just letting you know i'm coming'. everytime a car overtakes us on our bikes they toot before hand.
pointing your feet at people is very rude (which is more of an issue than it sounds because most people sit on the floor, not on chairs).
putting a fork in your mouth is considered very rude.
