There are many questions here that are ok to ask that are taboo in the States. Any time you leave the house people ask, "Where are you going?" Then when you return people ask, "Where are you coming from?" These are pretty simple questions to get use to, though it is hard to get into the habit of asking them of others. Other frequently asked questions, that are a little more uncomfortable are, "How much did you pay for that?", "What's your religion?", and "What type of birth control do you use?" These are all appropriate to be asked by someone you just met!
Yesterday a couple very inquisitive kids were at our house. They began with simple questions about Caedmon and Whitman. Could the boys speak the national language? When are their birthdays? Have they ever eaten rice? Then they proceeded to ask about what I was doing on the computer. They followed with, "Where did you get your computer?" "How much did it cost?" "Where did you get your clothes rack?" "How much did it cost?" "Are Caedmon's cousins in school?" 'Where are they in school?"
I was quite surprised with all their questions, but began to see a little into their world. Such as when they asked, "Who gave Caedmon's school uniforms to him?" To me it was obvious the school did, for a small price. But they probably got their uniforms handed down to them by older siblings or cousins, so it was only logical to ask who they came from.
