My fifty-plus cab driver has a Justin Bieber song, "Baby" I think, as his RINGTONE.
I walked into a clothing store as Sisqo's "Thong Song" came on...
Most shopping malls play really bad American music: Enrique, LOTS of that Buble (sp) dude, lots of boy bands and terrible female singers from the 2000's. LOTS of bad stuff happening to my ears over here. Thank goodness I can stand Lady Gaga, Rhianna (sp) and even Beiber.
Words get lost in translation a lot over here! Thongs have multiple meanings...their caesar salad literally has dead anchovies lying in it, and they don't respond to "bathroom/restroom" because they call them "toilets" which I find weird. They eat every part of every animal and I will NEVER get used to that. Simple things can be complicated between myself and someone else like asking for salt & pepper, limes or a sugar packet.
Grocery shopping is still overwhelming and completely ridiculously priced. ONE apple cost me $2.45 and plain ol'yellow mustard is $6.45. I miss America and will never, ever complain about it again.
Americans need to quit whining :) Asians never complain, they are a calm bunch over here. Australians can be intense and complain about America but overall, they are quite an attractive bunch.
Sake is a whole lot better over here as is lime juice.
McDonald's DELIVERS 24-hours a day. DELIVERS, yes...DELIVERS.
I come home in less than a week and I can't wait! I mean, I can barely sleep and I have already started packing! Singapore will grow on me, but for now, I love Bellingham and I love Ohio with all my big beating heart.
