Everyone we have met has introduced themselves to Finn as either Mr and Mrs + sir name or as Miss + first name and Mr + first name. Not quite as laid back as the Aussies then.....
The ice-cream serves in our local parlour are so big we ask for a kid's size cone then ask them to stop piling it on half way through - all for $2
Our house gets its water from a well - and we were advised not to drink it!
In New York you pay tax on everything - our hotel bill had four different taxes on it, which made the total cost about $80 more expensive than the actual room!
Our local pest control company advertises their specialities as: bats, bugs, bees, foxes and.....COYOTES! Gulp!
Starbucks' coffee is not worth drinking - anywhere.
Houses don't have washing lines only tumble dryers: it's too cold in the winter to hang clothes outside to dry. Fair enough, but what about the searing temperatures in the summer.....
Beds are very high off the ground: something to do with the cold in the winter, apparently. It must be warmer that way. Imagine how high the beds must be in Siberia.
Toilets are very low to the ground and astonishingly full of water. That couldn't have anything to so with the temperature outside. Could it?
