    I heard of one pinay from the Boondoks who upon her first visit to Tesco thought the dog food tins contained.............Yup,you guessed it
    I also heard another tale of a lady who saw a TNT delivery company lorry and thought it was a roundup vehicle looking to catch tago ng tago's

    I don't think that's a culture shock I think it has more got to do with ignorance
