Food.
It is crazy to me how diverse food is from country to country and from culture to culture! If you want to learn about people's worldview, take a minute and try to understand why people eat what they eat. For instance, in this first photo, you can see that my beautiful housemate, Meaghan, is posing in front of a street cart.
What does this tell you about her worldview?
We can correctly assume that only crazy, adventurous people would eat duck from a cart on the side of a road in Bangkok. We might also note that street food is, by most standards, inexpensive.
With the information that we have gathered, we can accurately conclude that Meaghan is a crazy, relatively poor adventurer.

In the following photo, we observe that the fruit in Thailand is tiny. The banana is a little larger than the average thumb, and the oranges are the size of a fat person's knuckle.
This one is easy. Thailand people are tiny because Thailand fruit is tiny. You are what you eat.

I saw these popsicles (icy-poles if you are Australian) in a tourist bazar.
The yellow ones at the top left are corn flavored! Do you guys remember that "Tuesday Photos" when my can of corn told me that I should put my corn on ice-cream?
I have no idea what this tells us about Thai culture.

Finally, we have Daniel eating a jelly fish.
You've had enough practice by now, so I'll let you form your own conclusions.
