Practice is that / Culture is that

Hi

Is the underlined a natural dialogue?

A - So your maid doesn't come every day?
B - No, in my city, the normal practice is that maids come twice or maximum thrice a week.

B - No, in my city, the normal culture is that maids come twice or maximum thrice a week.

Thanks,

Tom

Thrice isn't often used where I live.
I'd probably say ...the normal practice is that maids come twice, or at most three times, a week.

Mr. TomNo, in my city, the normal practice is that maids come twice or maximum thrice a week.
I'd say that normal dialog goes like this: No. Where I live maids only come two or three times a week (at most).
