Meanwhile in Holland: Drag racing
Drag racing has different meanings in different parts of the world apparently. Most people think along the lines of the “I live life a quarter-mile at a time” from Fast & Furious. However meanwhile in Holland things are slightly different.
Where it might lack the roaring of the engines it would certainly result in quite a few whistles and cheers from the spectators. When drag racing is done in this format it also lends itself to a lot of modification.
On the cars it would be about everything going on under the hood. This drag race is however all about what goes on outside. The make-up and racing garments would also cost you a hell of a lot less.
My money is on the afro-in-floral-dress speedster.

Meanwhile in Japan – baseball
Meanwhile in Japan they have a bit of a different baseball game going. The rest of the world plays it with those silly regular humans. Not in Japan!
There is probably also no other place where you would pitch up to a baseball game and part of the festivities is a quick game between some Star Wars characters. Depending on where you go in Japan you might actually see weirder things than that…

Meanwhile in Germany: They make dolls differently
Most people would be kept up at night if they had a doll like that. Meanwhile in Germany they decide to handle it by giving children’s teddy bears, rainbow jerseys to wear and wigs. All normal here. Nothing to see.

Meanwhile in New Zealand: they keep the party going
People asked me what places I visited when I was in New Zealand and I told them that the hill named Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateapokaiwhenuakitanatahu was interesting.
Yes, that is its name. I am just glad I don’t need to try and fill that in on a form!
It has other uses as well however… you can keep a crappy party going with the intro that this name gives.

Meanwhile in Mexico: Who needs sunscreen?
The Mexicans are a very clever people. They did bring an evil like tequila into the world, but they do a very good hat.
It is a simple equation really: More son… more hat
