I spent some time in India. One social aspect that I noticed right away is that lines aren't really a thing. If someone is ordering food at a cart, and you stand behind them, other people will assume you don't want to order and they'll just go around you. I imagine that living in a place with such high population density causes behavior that seems rude and pushy to us in America.

>I imagine that living in a place with such high population density causes behavior that seems rude and pushy to us in America. Not at all. The population density in Japan is extremely high too, and they don't behave this way at all. This is entirely cultural: some cultures don't respect rules very well, other cultures do. Jumping line in Japan is considered extremely rude.
