“wearing socks with sandals”
Germany says Hold My Beer!
“In Japan, there is a spa that offers “naked retreats””
Traditionally Japanese onsens have always been mixed/nekkid. That only changed in the edo period, when religiously offended Americans kinda forced dressed/seperated bath houses on them. 😦
“waiting for red lights to turn green. ”
In South Africa we mostly have 4-way stops. Werking great, as long as everybody shows some discipline. Only major crossroads are equipped with traffic lights.

Lol I messed with ChatGPT as we discussed it on Wednesday at the book club. Honestly it’s so predictive but kinda funny at the same time
My grandson kept saying to me over the past few days “fun fact grandma” then would proceed to tell me a fun fact. So this was inspired by him 😂

Well it’s a bit of fun and inspired as I said by my grandson. Fun facts are based on google fun facts so it’s as far as I’m concerned just fun.
