"Let me know" is a column for our readers' stories. We launch a survey every week and are waiting for your comments. The most interesting of them are included in articles and collections. This time we want to listen to your travel stories — tell us what struck you about the culture of another country?

For example, when I was in India, I was shocked that there is no toilet paper in the toilets — instead they use a hygienic shower. If it is not there, jugs and buckets of water are used. Because of this, the floor of the closets is often wet. It was unpleasant when the girl from the next booth flooded my slates, unsuccessfully overturning the bucket.

And here is another story that happened in Italy. When I asked for a latte, they brought me a glass of hot milk. At first, this caused confusion. But then the waitress explained to me that in Italian "latte" means just milk. To get the drink I was used to, I had to order a "coffee latte".

Surely you have encountered similar situations abroad. Tell us about them!
