The most interesting lessons often lie in the mundane – those aspects of everyday life that locals take for granted and tourists tend to overlook. For example, at my Western hotel in South Korea there was a pictogram alongside the toilet explaining how to use it properly – that is, to sit on the seat, rather than crouching over the bowl, as one would on a traditional South Korean toilet.
最有趣的教益往往来自平凡的角度——那些本地人习以为常而旅客常常忽略的日常生活角度。比如，在韩国的西式饭店，你会看到厕所贴着使用说明——坐在抽水马桶上，而不是像使用传统韩国厕所那样蹲着。
