3. INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT INDIA
Shampooing is an Indian concept

herbs. The word 'shampoo' itself has been derived from the Sanskrit word champu, which
means to massage.
India has a spa just for elephants
Elephants receive baths, massages and even food at the Punnathoor Cotta Elephant
Yard Rejuvenation Centre in Kerala. Now that's a BIG step for the country.
Largest number of vegetarians in the world
Be it because of religious reasons or personal choices or both, around 20-40% of Indians
are vegetarians, making it the largest vegetarian-friendly country in the world.
The first country to consume sugar
India was the first country to develop extraction and purifying techniques of sugar. Many

4. INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT JAPAN
Eating Raw Horse Meat Is Perfectly Normal in Japan
Many of us would cringe at the thought of eating horse meat, especially if it’s raw and cold.
But in Japan, raw horse meat, also called basashi, is considered a delicacy and is served in
many restaurants. Eating raw horse meat is not a recent fad popularized by a celebrity or an
innovative chef, though — it’s been practiced by the Japanese for many decades now.
Families in Japan Use the Same Water for Bathing
For the Japanese, taking a bath is not only about cleansing the body. It’s also an effective way to relax the mind, the
body, and the spirit. This is the reason why most Japanese take hot baths during the evening and go to hot springs or
onsens regularly. Unlike in the Western world, Japanese families use the same water for bathing, and no they don’t
take baths simultaneously. The father goes first, followed by the mother, and then the children.
Many Streets in Japan Don’t Have Names
Yes, you read that right. Many streets in Japan don’t have names. So how do the Japanese
locate certain areas if their streets are nameless? Well, they use a peculiar kind of
addressing system that uses block numbers instead of street names. Blocks in Japan are
given unique numbers, and these numbers serve as the address. The spaces between
these blocks, the streets, are left unnamed. So typically, people in Japan say, “I live in Block 2” or “I work in Block 13”
instead of saying “I’m on Crocodile St.” or “My house is at Banana Ave. ”
