Many people living in other countries are very surprised at what is absolutely normal for us, writes the author of the blog "SM-News" on Yandex Zen.
Some everyday and everyday habits of Russians shock (sometimes pleasantly surprise) foreigners!
Present for the hosts
Coming empty-handed is considered indecent. As a sign of respect, we bring toys to children, cakes and sweets to the whole family.
Lots of food on holiday
A home feast, especially on holidays, is an abundance of dishes that can feed the company three times as much. The shelves of the refrigerator after such events remain crowded for several days.

Large pots
Foreigners are surprised by the optimism with which we heat water in teapots and pans during the shutdown of hot water.
Bathroom
In the bath, they do not just wash themselves, but perform a kind of ritual. Therefore, the phrase “with light steam” is very surprising for foreigners, because they don’t say that anywhere else.
New Year is the most favorite holiday
New Year is considered to be a more significant holiday for us than Christmas. It happened historically. Abroad, the opposite is true.

Large common house
It is a normal practice for us to live in one house for several generations of relatives. For foreigners, this is not typical.
Garden
We are used to growing vegetables and fruits in our summer cottages for our own needs, and for foreigners it’s just a hobby or business.
Package Package
Such a phenomenon cannot be found in the stocks of a foreign mistress. Despite the fact that reasonable consumption and respect for the environment are becoming fashionable, there is no habit of collecting plastic bags abroad.
