Different

·         Pencils here don’t have erasers.  You have to buy those separate.

·         Staplers only come in compact sizes like I used to carry in my backpack in high school (one random teacher insisted we staple our work before handing in and wouldn’t let us use hers so I brought one and everyone used it).

·         Elevators actually close when you push the “doors close” button.

·         Any room in your house that has water will be lowered about 2 inches so you must step down to enter and up to exit.  Careful not to trip.

·         Air conditioning is on a room by room basis.  And maids/helpers don’t ever get it in their rooms.

·         Pedestrians don’t necessarily have the right of way on the road.  If a taxi driver hits you in a crosswalk they are fined $1,000.  If you’re not in a crosswalk they get no penalty.  And they drive to reflect that fact.

I can’t ever remember all the weird and different things here when I sit down to write.  Ugh.
