Probably, yes. I was never there, but, to be sure that's the idea your cultural exports sell of your country. Like the first thing every adult does when they get home from work is drink alcohol, before they even take their shoes off...
I am quite sure that it isn't that way in every home, but you would be surprised how many people in the world believe that is the rule.
I mean nothing with my remarks, I am just completely puzzled by this.
