We had many moments where I found myself saying... "Oh, yeah I forgot to tell you that.... "
In no particular order - the things she learned:
- Plug outlets have switches, you have to turn them on
- Eggs are left out on the counter, everywhere in the world except USA
- Hold on to your tube ticket, you need it to get out on the other end
- Europeans didn't like George W. Bush
- Mayonnaise comes on everything
- When given directions - turn left and then another left - this is literally the first place possible to turn left, even if its an alley... and not the next "city block"
- Nobody talks about distances in terms of blocks
- Bright clothing is not popular in winter
- You have to ask for sandwiches specifically without butter on the bread
- Nobody wears fleeces as everyday winter outerwear
- Look right - better yet, look both ways - cars come out of nowhere
- You have to pay to use the bathroom in public places
- Say you want tap water, not still, otherwise you pay for it
- If you don't love Harry Potter, you're apparently not American
- Short skirts or jean shorts with tights are all the rage. Doesn't matter what size you are.
- Gas costs twice as much as in the U.S.
- Nobody talks about their feelings
- Tax is always included in the price tag
