Wow, what a great read. I haven't been to these countries yet, but by just reading your post I truly learned a lot. It is unusual article to read. Very interesting and I get to learn those things which makes Asia unique. Also in the Philippines, Eating a fertilized embryo is also delicacy and I love to eat it as well.

Wow, I am from Asia and many of these things I didn't know until now. And I must admit, I didn't really read Bangkok's loooooong name. And the throwing of babies in India, oh my god, that's horrifying! What a very weird tradition!

Weird facts! Oh! I am so shocked and shaken about the last one happening in India!
They are fools!

This are interesting facts. It’s actually shocking that being fat is illegal in
Japan. But what’s good about that is the government will not punish someone. but
iinstead they will be helming those people and give them dietary guidance. In
general Asia has a very rich and unique culture that the World should know and
explore.

This is very interesting. Being born and brought up in India, I didn't know about the ritual of throwing babies from the temple. Which part of India do you know? Also, the rest of the facts are very interesting

Well, apparently it only happens in the states of Maharashtra and Karnataka... Thank you :-)

Very interesting facts, I really didn't.t know most of them. The one for their fingernails, why they keep them long is really funny but the one in India, where they throw the babies from temples is awful in my opinion. To be honest, I didn't even watch the video, not sure if I want to see this.

So many interesting things about Asia here! Celebrating birthday on the same day seems interesting! Love reading trivia about the countries. Great post!

Such interesting shared info, thanks for sharing. I dare you to say the official name of Bangkok three times fast.

OMG I can't believe I had never heard of any of these! I always wondered why there was a huge queue for barbers on Mondays's in Asia! And the fact that being fat in Japan is illegal. Whoa!

Krungthepmahanakhon Amonrattanakosin Mahintharayutthaya Mahadilokphop Noppharatratchathaniburirom Udomratchaniwetmahasathan Amonphimanawatansathit Sakkathattiyawitsanukamprasit ??? Wow can you imagine how much space is put aside on official documents where it says “City of birth” Such interesting facts, I love it…Its illegal to be over weight…wow I think we can use that strategy her in North America and America. But throwing babies out the window…wow. That takes the cake. I wouldn’t of have believed it if I didn’t see the video…great post
