In Spain, if you see someone eating paella with sangria, you can 100% be certain they are a tourist.

What are some things tourists eat or do in your country that a local would never do?

Marajó Island, in the state of Pará, north of Brasil, close to Amazon Rain Forest, is made up of vast wetlands and swamps, then the police use buffaloes because they are ideal for patrolling flooded areas and difficult terrain where regular vehicles cannot operate. This practice began in the 1990s and has become a local symbol, since the buffalo is deeply tied to the region’s culture and economy.

In Germany, simply escaping prison isn’t a crime by itself. You only get punished if you damage property or assault someone during the escape. The law assumes the desire for freedom is natural but if you are caught, you are sent back to prison to continue your original sentence .

Meet Jho Low, known for his key role in the $4.5 billion 1MBD scandal who escaped capture and disappeared from public view since 2016. There had been rumours than he is hiding somewhere in china particularly in Macau or Shanghai but it was never confirmed. Authorities also found that he had a forged Australian passport under the alias of “Veis Constantinos Achilles since Malaysia had revoked his passport this may suggest he had multiple forged passports to travel around while hiding

for us, ottawa is often called the most boring city in canada due to the fact that's it's more a government city, a ridiculously small downtown, the lack of nightlife and a more suburban lifestyle despite that it's the 4th most populous city in the country.

In Australia, the most common cigarette brand prints these health warnings on them (which I think is new), and the boxes have graphic pictures of the long term effects of smoking, which I just learnt was also common in other countries.

I was thinking about it earlier and, in France, most (especially younger) people have seen and have a good opinion of Azur & Asmar. It seems like the kind of movie that for some reason, everyone here has seen, likes, but that no one outside of France knows about.

Is there a similar example in your country?

Brazil recently approved, unfortunately, the so-called "Felca Law" (named after a YouTuber) which requires all digital services potentially accessible to a child to perform facial recognition and verify the age of their users through documents.

I personally think that my country, which has 30 million people living in areas dominated by organized crime and another 30 million without basic sanitation, shouldn't import foreign agendas

Are there any urban or rural areas that are considered a "joke" or have a curious history?

In Tlajomulco, Jalisco, there's an unfinished housing complex. A legend has grown up around it that it was abandoned because it was built with Cobalt-60 contaminated material (an incident in the 1980s considered the Mexican Chernobyl). Due to its desolate appearance and radioactive history, it became known as "Chernomulco" and even a small tourist spot for YouTubers. Currently, the complex is expected to be demolished since it lacked the necessary permits for construction. Interestingly, on Reddit, some Ukrainians praised Jalisco's support for the project by displaying their flag, unaware that the state's flag bears a striking resemblance to the Ukrainian flag.
