ODDS AND ENDS

OKAY I JUST WANTED TO TALK ABOUT A FEW THINGS THAT ARE VERY CONTRARY TO THE US...FOR BETTER FOR WORSE!

1.) WHEN YOU ORDER A BEER, YOU ARE OFFERED A GLASS OF ICE AND STRAW BECAUSE OF THE HEAT
2.) YOU DON'T FLUSH TOILET PAPER
3.) THERE ARE HARDLY ANY DOOR NOBS, JUST HANDLES AND LOCKS
4.) NO FRONT YARDS, JUST ENCLOSED PATIOS WITH LARGE GATES
5.) NOBODY SAYS THANKS
6.) CONSTRUCTION BEGINS AROUND 6:00AM ON THE HOUSE RIGHT BEHIND ME!
7.) DRIVERS (NOT PEDESTRIANS) HAVE THE RIGHT OF WAY
8.) HOMES DONT HAVE HALLWAYS
9.) NO HOT WATER HEATERS (IF YOU HAVE HOT WATER, IT IS AN ELECTRIC DEVICE ATTACHED TO YOUR SHOWER HEAD)
9.) NO DRYERS- ALL CLOTHES ARE HANG DRIED
10.) HARDLY ANY WINDOWS THAT CLOSE
11.) BARS ON EVERY SINGLE WINDOW
12.) WAY CHEAP TAXIS
13.) A BUS LEAVES ALMOST EVERY HOUR TO ALMOST EVERYWHERE
14.) NO ARMY, THEREFORE NO WAR VETS
15.) LIMES ARE ORANGE IN THE MIDDLE
16.) ALL FLOORS ARE TILE
17.) THEY DONT COVER FOOD IN THE FRIDGE- PLASTIC WRAP AND TUPPERWARE HAVE NO PLACE IN THIS COUNTRY
18.) LUNCH STAYS OUT ON THE STOVE TILL DINNER
19.) "SALSA" MEANS AAAALLLLL SAUCES, KETCHUP, MAYO, MUSTARD, MARINARA, SWEET AND SOUR....YOU NAME IT!

OKAY THAT IS IT FOR NOW, I AM SURE THE LIST WILL GROW!
