From mineral water to water slides, things that are free in some countries often cost in others, sometimes much to the surprise of travellers venturing out of their homeland.

To find out what bargains can be had abroad, we looked to question-and-answer community Quora.com to ask, "What are some things free in your country that you have to buy when visiting other countries?" The answers not only revealed good deals, but a fascinating insight into the local culture.
为了了解国外都有哪些免费福利,我们在问答网站Quora.com提了这个问题:“什么东西在你的国家是免费的,而你在其他国家旅游时却发现要花钱买?”答案中不但透露了很多划算的买卖,而且还让我们窥得一些地方的本土文化。
Northern India and Pakistan

Pretty much every grocery shop in this part of the world offers a free and generous side of fresh coriander and green chillies, common local ingredients in curries and chutneys.
在世界的这个角落,几乎每家杂货店都会免费提供新鲜胡荽和绿辣椒,要多少给多少,这在当地是做咖喱和酸辣酱的常见佐料。
"In most of northern India… dhaniya-mirch (coriander and chillies) is synonymous with groceries," said Khusrau Gurganvi from Varanasi. So much so that he explained that "Kal dhaniya-mirch lana hai" translates into "I need to buy groceries tomorrow."
“在印度北部的大部分地区,胡荽和绿辣椒和杂货同义。”印度瓦腊纳西的Khusrau Gurganvi说道。
An anonymous answerer echoed the perk within Pakistan. "Whenever you go to buy vegetables, the shopkeeper will give you a handful of free coriander and green chilli," the person said. "If they don't, then all you have to do is ask."
一位匿名用户表示,巴基斯坦也有此福利。“无论什么时候你去买蔬菜,店主都会给你一把免费的胡荽和绿辣椒。如果店主没给,你管他要就是了。”
