The coolest thing about different cultures is that the grave insult that can get you and your family killed and your brother-in-law's tractor dealership bankrupted in one, is funny or no big deal in others. A guy I know (here in US) got in trouble for beckoning a Fillipino coworker. Apparently only prostitutes are beckoned in the Phillipines as a solicitation. In some places in India, you -can- will get killed (or, if you are lucky, your dick cut off) for saying "Your sister is hot". In other places you will be considered enemy for life. In the US, I hear "Thanks man, I'll tell her". Cultural differences between families is also very interesting to observe. When I was a semi-kid, I heard one guy shout at his brother that he is son of a whore and my jaw dropped and remained dropped for a while. I wonder how shocking alien cultures will be. Zaphod was(is?) his own great-grandfather due to a time-machine mishap and a defective condom, if I remember it right.
