Cultural Differences

An incident which neatly sums up cultural differences. I boarded a tro tro in Suhum the other day. A lady politely invited me to sit next to me. I bought plantain chips from a vendor through the window and as the tro started the journey, I ate them. I held the screwed up cellophane bag in my hand for the rest of journey intending to put it out with my rubbish at home. Just before we reached Koforidua the lady beside me offered to take the bag from me. I gave it to her and she dropped it on the tro floor for me.
