....of which we do on almost a daily basis
1) Sharing the same guampa and bombilla (drinking cup/bottle and metal straw when drinking Terere). In other words drinking after others using the same straw.
2) Being served and huge central trough of food among many people, and all sharing one set of silverware.
3) Being served a plate of food on a plate recently used by someone else, and not yet cleaned.
4) Being expected to use the tablecloth as your napkin, that is, grabbing the table cloth and wiping your mouth and hands on it. (I have yet to adopt this practice).
5) Sharing a glass with any acquaintance remotely known, when drinking almost any beverage.
6) Eating meat that was just recently sitting on the counter (hanging in the open air or in a bin unrefrigerated).
7) Watching just about everyone go to the restroom and continue cooking without washing their hands
8) The absence of soap in almost all public and private restrooms
9) Nose picking in public (this apparently is not seen as something gross here)
10) Continuing to consume food after finding a bug or insect in it.
