What are some things that are considered "normal" where you're from, but aren't normal here? Or what's something that's unremarkable here, but would be the stuff of dreams back in your world?

Back where I'm from, it's normal for a group of people to be segregated from the rest of the population because of our ancestor's deeds. It's also normal for that group to be able to turn into Titans.
That said, magic is completely unheard of. So is a lot of the technology here.

Eldians in one place are taught that Eldians in a different place are evil.

Oh! But lots of things here would be special at home! Like the artificial weather in Nightwake district! That's cool that the Research Centre picks the weather!

I find it strange how this place does not seem to have religion. I have not heard talk of gods of any sort.

Back home it was
Okay, normal isn't the right word to use? It was super illegal!
And yet.

[Because there sure was a lot of murder then!]

There's USUALLY a lot less murder here.
We'd have large-scale incidents and disasters sometimes, but come to think of it
when those kinds of things happened
there'd be big dramatic efforts to save the day. And it'd usually turn out okay-ish? Or at least not the worst.

Those situations can be.
It'd be really great if people could stop being mean.
Less crimes and violence, please!
But ...
There's a lot of people in my world who fight for justice with everything they have
And they're the absolute COOLEST

I think the thing that I’ve found the most incredible here is how everyone is just… taking care of each other? The way that we get given a place to live and food to eat for free when we arrive, until we find our feet here, and then how easy it is to just be able to… live, I suppose? Where I come from, it’s harder to earn your keep. Me and my brother and all my friends, we were fortunate, because we’re skilled adventurers, mages, fighters, the like, but… Some people starve. Some people can’t go treasure-hunting, or they can’t work a farm, or they can’t lay bricks in the city, or serve a rich family — and they just die.
S-sorry, I don’t mean to be morbid or anything…! I was just struck by how well everyone is treated here. I wish everyone back home took care of each other like this, too.
