1. There are cigarette butts EVERYWHERE, and people smoke everywhere, including while walking.
2. If you value your life, limbs, toes, etc, you will wait until the little green man shows to step off the curb. The motorists will speed up to hit you in an awful game of chicken in which the car always wins. People on motorcycles/ mopeds/ scooters will weave through traffic and the white lines on the road- when visible- are taken as a suggestion, rather than actually staying between them.
3. People will stand right next to you- they have no sense of personal space, which you have to be careful because pick-pockets take advantage of this.
4. Even after you ask for the check, you might have to wait for 10-15 minutes before you get it.
5. There are just as many pigeons and seagulls as there are cigarette butts, and almost as many dogs.
6. Many people will brush past you, but they consider it an insult if you step off the sidewalk to go around them (they translate the body language to mean 'I'd rather be in the street than walk next to you').
