. You always leave outdoor shoes at the door.=duh... its very dirty so we dont bring it inside. besides, its a sign of respect if we visit a friend's house

You boil water before drinking.= yeah, better safe than sorry.but fortunately, in our home water is safe

You save grocery bags and use them to hold garbage.= yes! coz the garbagemen collect it. or we burn it

You have a rice cooker.= rice is a staple food on asians. meal is not complete without it

You wash rice 2-3 times before cooking it.=that is how we clean it.

You iron your own shirts.
this is applicable for people who dont have housemaids

When you hand wash dishes, you only use cold water.
of course! we cant afford to boil it, its a waste of time

You prefer your shrimp with the heads and legs still attached. yes. this we do if we eat shrimps with squash and coconut milk.. yummy..

You never discuss your love life with your parents=coz they are strict and relationship are prohibited
