As a Brazilian kid I played WoW with an American guild. One day people were doing some trash talking and I threw the line "it is all Obama fault" thinking it was funny because I often heard that from TV due to all the political drama in the US at the time. The conversation wasn't about politics at all.

My guild leader pulled me aside and seriously said to not bring politics into it haha. My first big culture shock of my life.

In Brazil it is quite common (at the time at least) to just blame the government for everything, no matter who is in government.

The second was that apparently wearing speedos is not socially acceptable in most a lot of the first world beaches anymore.
