An Australian foodie traveling in Italy has shared some cultural differences she’s noticed while traveling in Italy – from each household having five different bins to a unique way to flush the toilet. 

Ayeh Manfre, from Sydney, who goes by Cooking with Ayeh online, posted a video to TikTok listing the ‘things that just make sense’ she’s discovered while spending time in Sicily.

In Italy she said the recycling and rubbish system is ‘taken VERY seriously with five different bins in every house’ in the clip shared with her 2.3million followers.
