- stevoski 14y agoI think this sentence is key: > The funny thing with these kinds of "rules" / customs is that you internalize them; I can't even imagine myself taking pictures in the subway... I've lived in several countries, and have inadvertently offended people in all of them. Well-travelled, educated people, who don't realise that some specific cultural norms are just that - cultural.
