Quintessentially Asian so far...

Small people, small clothes, clothes all one size, shoes for small people, squat toilets (good for leg muscles, bad for having a read on the loo!) along with no loo roll and hoses instead - does eveyone wander around with clean but wet botties??, covering up in respect of local culture, Chinatowns and Little Indias in abundance, hawker stalls selling everything from cooked food to fruit to clothes all for less than a pound usually, narrow streets bursting at the seams with tiny little stalls or shops, motorscooters, motorbikes, bikes, trishaws, the occasional car, no pavements, sometimes defined roads, lots of bowing in respect, complicated languages even to learn to say "hello" and "thank you", ineffiency, not quite "fiji time" but close, technological goodies next to slums, buckets of alcohol (and they really are slightly miniture versions of buckets...hmm classy!?), dodgy local brews full of impurities.... and there is of course more, I just can't think of them right now!
