replying to @RTWBarefoot @RTWBarefoot @HHLifestyleTrav @AllyMacDee @SonjaSwissLife @natpackertravel I've debated for years about getting one, but just never found something that "spoke" to me that I wanted permanently on me. However, the stories behind people's tattoos are usually quite interesting. #TTOT

All that grunting, liquid-lung, phleghmy throat-clearing and spitting in China. Not a fan. Nope. Not at all #TTOT A3

replying to @TravelDudes @TravelDudes @iamvagabond A3. The poverty in Mexico. I think the biggest shock was the children selling things/begging on the streets. It's so hard not to give them anything, but if you give them money they will miss school tomorrow too. Vicious cycle. #TTOT

replying to @wheresshellyii @wheresshellyii @natpackertravel This is why I'd really love to be able to have enough command of an obscure language, so I can do that and really confuse the hawker/taxi driver. Something like Welsh, Uzbek, or ... one of my tweeps can do it in Mandinka which would looks/sound *really* odd! #ttot

replying to @HHLifestyleTrav @HHLifestyleTrav @AllyMacDee @SonjaSwissLife @natpackertravel Was the reaction to you the same in urban vs. rural Japan though? #TTOT

replying to @Pinkzenjoy @Pinkzenjoy yeah I think China, esp remote China would be a challenge for me! #ttot

A3 The biggest cultural shock was realising my own had many faults - red tape, restrictions, over-complicated systems, pace of change, individualism, greed, scaremongering news, you become more aware of when in a different culture. #ttot

replying to @RTWBarefoot @RTWBarefoot @StevenOnTheMove @AllyMacDee @SonjaSwissLife @natpackertravel Yep, I think there's a difference in judgement between disliking them on yourself or as a concept, vs. believing they mean certain things or believing that everyone with one must be a sailor or a biker or a whore. To me it's art - I have a blank canvas and shall fill it! #TTOT

replying to @RTWBarefoot @RTWBarefoot @natpackertravel yeah that'd be awesome, even just to listen in on what people are saying about you haha #ttot

replying to @wheresshellyii @wheresshellyii LOL I'd still rather know the language than rely on google translate. Especially as when I travel I rarely have immediate and direct access to the internet #ttot

A2 I don't know whether I have ever been truly culture shocked but when I visited Ljubljana in Slovenia recently I was so shocked at how quiet, clean and calm it was for a capital city. Being used to mobbed London it was a huge difference but a welcomed one. #ttot

replying to @wheresshellyii @wheresshellyii @StevenOnTheMove A2. When I went to Fiji when I was 7, & a Fijian man cut a coconut off a tree, sliced the top off with his machete and then made me a drinking straw out of a nearby plant stem. Then he handed me the coconut drink. And I was totally amazed! #TTOT

A3: I was about 8yo after my family moved back to the U.S. from Italy, and I was baffled that we would walk around our neighborhood to trick-or-treat instead of riding in a car to a few select houses. #TTOT
StevenOnTheMove
replying to @StevenOnTheMove I wasn't aware that in the U.S. everybody went trick-or-treating vs. in Italy where it was just a few Americans who did it. #TTOT

A3 My 1st job Switz. I didn’t know there’s no sick leave & I got a flu. Called the office but I’m so healthy I never went to a Dr. When I returned they asked for a Dr. certificate Without it they couldn’t pay me (insurance) Since they didn’t tell me, we talked & I was paid. #TTOT

Tomtar & Troll is a popular shop with tourists in the old district of Stockholm, Sweden. They sell trolls. No idea who Tomtar is.

replying to @HHLifestyleTrav @HHLifestyleTrav @AllyMacDee @SonjaSwissLife @natpackertravel I haven't gotten to explore rural Japan yet, but suspect it's a bit more traditional than the urban areas. #TTOT
