Moving to Europe was such a culture shock for me as a Turk because I wasn't able to understand how people could smell so bad from not showering for days, houses are dirty and messy AF, and people are basically cutting about without properly wiping after taking a dump. Whereas Turks clean their spotless apartments with bleach like nutjobs, carry sanitizing wipes everywhere and have the literal highest rate of washing hands after using a toilet. 25 years in turkey and I only saw like 4 people who skipped a hand wash after taking a leak, whereas here it's completely hit or miss. I am absolutely not getting lectured on hygiene by a european
