Different traditions of different countries

#7 @obladie ,this followed in India,too.The only difference is that if we're alone,we don't sit beside the driver,but the conversation definitely takes place.

@morphyms1817 ,here,in India, it's considered kind of rude,if we aren't engaged in the conversation.This is irritating to me, I'm also an introvert.

@Racingkingsplayer
In the elevator scenario I am thinking the others appear effortless and comfortable making conversation, yet to me it seems quite natural to be quiet.

@morphyms1817 Same here, but I'm seeing that less and less people have conversations in the elevator...

@SavageAntarctican
I had not thought about that - my job has me on remote work until Covid goes down. But, I've already been told that our office building will be enforcing social distancing in the elevators.

I.e., you each stand in squares in opposite corners of the elevator.

@morphyms1817 It's impossible to be 6ft apart on an elevator...

Indeed, those concessions will be made but distancing to the corners to maximize as possible.

@morphyms1817 ,interesting,having conversations on elevators,heard of that for the first time

No,it is not considered bad form not to chat...after the initial "g'day" and telling the driver your destination,there seems to be some kind of telepathy that let's one know the score.

I am Danish, and this isn't really a Danish tradition anymore. (Video is from Faroe Island) but it's a cultural part, lost or just neglected in most of northern Europe. But chain dance was common once. I think, now it's mostly used during certain ceremonies (weddings, round birthdays and such)
But not to the extent as with my Faroe brethren, with traditional clothing and old songs.

Edited: @Racingkingsplayer I like your tread. I too, am interested in both local and foreign cultures. Good idea for a tread 👍
