Cultural lessons in dental hygiene

When we came to K town, I knew I had a lot to learn in terms of cultural differences. I didn't anticipate dental hygiene being one of them. We have discovered that the morning ritual of teeth brushing is quite time consuming. One brushes one's teeth prior to eating and the process takes a minimum of twenty minutes. But don't be mistaken - productivity for the rest of the day is not lost. It's all about multi tasking. Here are some things I have seen people accomplish while brushing their teeth

Get daily supplies from the market
Got to the toilet
Play a game of soccer
Smoke a cigarette
Drink tea

Not sure if my dentist would be impressed or not?
