So I have been noticing many men with long nails on their little finger.
Obviously that is considered strange in our culture so I did some research.
It turns out that it signifies wealth and the man with a long pinkie nail has a high status.
This also means that they don't do physical labor, as the nails would be easily broken if you did physical labor with that long of a nail.
According to many web sites, some people use it to pick their nose or their ears.
The personal hygiene standards are a little different here than in the U.S.
Many people stink (a lot) and most don't use deodorant this is especially noticeable on the bus and MRT where you have to reach up to hang on to the handle when standing.
I also know of people who do this for drug usage.
