As I would expect, the daily life is very different here. Although I completely agree that differences can be a good thing, some of them are very funny.
1. Instead of a tooth fairy who leaves behind money for a lost tooth, they believe in a rat who replaces the tooth with money.
2. They are very positive people and put on spin on something disgusting. Apparently, walking in poo will bring you luck and riches.
3. Crepes at the movies are magical.
4. All of the houses are completely gated and locked up. No chance of even parkouring my way over these walls.
5. The cops don't pull you over, ever...even if you speed past them.
6. My Discovery kids where full on sweats to school. It is freaking hot!!! I about die every time when I see them.
7. Even though there all Sam's Club and sister Walmart stores, the people would rather go to the local markets to buy there food. They do buy some things there like cereal.
8. When you buy your food at the market, don't expect it to be refrigerated. It will be just chilling on the counter...yum!
9. There are people that ride around on motorcycles trying to sell things. They use a megaphone which make them all sound like Darth Vader.
10. Walking around the house barefoot is equivalent to behaving like a dirty dog. Socks don't even cut it. You have to wear shoes....I think this is because the entire house is made of tile and they are afraid that if you don't wear shoes you will fall and die.
There are a million other differences, so I will write another post about them later.
