tots on e states so far...

1) most of e things here looks exactly like on tv. small quiet towns, pretty houses, beach full of bikini-clad girls (not e same as bikini babes), small town bar, etc. exactly like on tv. tats why i kept saying "tis is so american!" during my early wks here. haha~

2) i concluded tat e older e ppl here get, e fatter dey become. tats cuz i've observed tat skinny ppl are mostly teenagers n kids. it's sad how fat these ppl are man, like even tho they are not veriii old but they move like ah beks.

3) their horrible diet probably explains why these ppl are so fat. their food is 90% of e time too salty/sweet/oily. tink i've mentioned tis alotta times le, but juz wanna re-emphasise. e amt of fat ppl here is amazing, there were soooo many instances of guests getting rejected on rides cuz they'r so fat they cant fit into e seats. my goodness~

4) a typical hispanic here is generally better looking than a typical white. e whites all look e same to me lorz, blond with coloured eyes lorz. but e hispanics all look exotic n charming, in my opinion.

5) their coins r named differently. instead of 10cents/20cents, they named em quarters (25c) n dimes (10c). in e beginning i had such a hard time figuring out e right amt to pay lah.

6) they oso use diff units of measure. there was once i asked for 200 grams of mozzarella n the lady juz looked at me dumbfoundedly. they use ounces/pounds instead of kilograms, fahrenheit instead of deg cel, miles/feet/inches instead of km/m/cm.

7) even their paper size is different. their typical paper (right) is shorter n fatter than our A4 (left).

seriously trying veri hard 2b different huh. no wonder e SMU ppl fit in so well here. LoL~

8) to travel/live in e states, u muz be prepared to walk alot. we'r walking everyday lorz. in sg i took buses juz for a few stops, but here i hafta walk those few stops cuz there's simply no bus. e ppl here mostly drive cuz car is damn cheap, tats why there's no bus for short distances.

9) there's no lights on their highways lorz. highways are illuminated by those cone thingies tat reflect light frm vehicles' headlights n by lights frm e billboards. super scary. but e local drivers seem 2b handling it veri well.

10) e temperature here fluctuates drastically, tink i've said tis b4. there was once when i left e hse in e day at 30 deg cel, but returned home at nite at 17 deg cel. crazy.

11) e ppl here are dumb. dey dont understand simple english instructions like "pls leave ur slippers there". dumb. mayb it's e air here, makes ppl dumb. stimes i yell till bek chek but they still nv budge. wth~

12) im becoming v proficient at faking e american accent. tats cuz e ppl here are dumb, dey cant understand simple english instructions unless i say em using e american accent. dey are dumb. but e fun part comes when i use e fake american accent to irritate my partner at work. muahahaha~

will add on more to these when i can think of more!
