6. Excellent point about the cleaning up afterward!
My Sister married a Pakistani, years ago. My Ex BIL flew his mother over once for a visit, shortly after my niece was born so that grandmother could meet her granddaughter.

My niece was and is naturally left-handed. I distinctly remember that woman slapping my niece's hand away when she would place her left hand anywhere near her lips.

Why?

Because in the Pakistani lady's culture, you use your bare left hand to wipe your ass!

There are some cultural differences that are difficult to understand, much less accommodate.

Let the Afghani's have their own toilets.

Keep your feet the fuck off of mine and don't worry if i use my left hand to feed myself, i have soft paper products, soap and hot, running water almost everywhere!
