So, my good friend Josh (from Board Game Reviews by Josh - you should check it out. He's awesome. And an excellent writer. He should totally be a published author (like me) - except that he only writes about board games. Oh, and did I mention that he's typing this?) came and visited us. He suggested that there were a few things that I "missed" on my previous posts. Anyway, here's the "short" list:
In the bathroom:
- Toilets are different. Specifically, they don't like to flush toilet paper down the toilet - it takes about 2 gallons of water (or more) for a normal flush.
- Urinals sometimes flush when you walk up to them. Before you pee. (Ok, I can't blame her for not knowing this one.)
- The entire bathroom is an entire tiled unit. When you shower, everything gets soaked - toilet, floor, etc.
- You have to turn the hot water heater on. Well - at least if you want hot water.
On the TV:
- Shows start and end at random times. It might run from 12:28-12:54.
- Shows aren't 30 minutes. They're as long as they feel like being.
- They give you a countdown on when the commercials are finished (ok, that one's kinda cool).
- The commercials are really, really, really loud
- They let you know what season of a show you're watching - such as "Seinfeld Season 6 comes on at 11:00 PM".
At the Pharmacy:
- Apparently Sudafed is banned. Maybe. They at least kept saying that it was banned
- A pharmacy may or many not have the medicine you want - in fact, they may or may not have the medicine that they're advertising on the wall of the pharmacy. That one was especially odd.
- They write your name on the receipt as if it were a prescription pad. Just your first name, though. This seems to serve very little purpose.
