As I was bringing in all of our bags, I also brought in my pistol that I alway's travel with and laid it on the night stand. His eyes got really big and he got a little nervous, like that was the most absurd thing he'd ever seen. Then about 10 min's later, I needed to open up a package and I pulled out my knife and once again he looked at me strangely and asked me "where are you from."
That is just one example of what I'm talking about. Things that we think are common place and "normal" to some people they seem extreme.
Anyone else have any examples?

LMAO -- I had the same reaction while dining at the 316 Oyster Bar in Fayetteville. Guys were pulling knives out in the restaurant, and it was pretty weird to see that.
You want to see people who live on a different planet? Come visit me in West LA and I'll show you a bizarre new world! LOL
