1. Shoveling snow on the side of the road is not a man's job. There are some women around here that make manual labor look like a piece of cake.
2. People still "thumb it" around here. It's not uncommon to see people give up waiting on the bus and just get in the car with any random person. (i'm getting up the nerve to try it)
3. Bathroom cleanliness--No such thing!!! I've been in cleaner NASCAR bathrooms. (oh, and if you're at the university, bring your own toilet seat and toilet paper).
4. I'm mastering the "Donkey-stare," no one makes eye contact on the street or in the public transportation. You just look through the person.
5. There is a perpetual smell of Vodka in the air everywhere you go.
6. No more free bags from the grocery store. You have to bring your own plastic bags to tote your groceries home or buy them.
7. There is NO teacher/ student relationship! My teacher has clapped at me like I was a dog, he has slapped my desk with a ruler, and every chance he gets he laughs at me. (the cold war is alive and well in our classroom).
8. Clean yards and streets. For such a big city there is relatively little litter (including leaves). As soon as it hits the ground, someone is there to clean it up.
