list

I haven't really mentioned the stuff that I have found slightly odd about America so here goes:
1. The road crossings - on campus the traffic lights make peculiar bird call type sounds to signal that is safe for blind people to cross, what's wrong with a normal beep?
2. People keep thinking I am Australian, I'm not!!
3. The blank/amused looks I get when I use terms which are perfectly normal like corridor or jumper.
4. The fact that there really are people the size of airships who ride motorized scooter type shopping trolleys around Wal Mart.
5. The sheer size of portions that food in restaurants is served in - bloody hell, do they want me to put back on that three stone??
6. The university gym - intimidating cos there is stuff I don't know how to use!
7. Driving on a different size of the road, yes I am still looking in the wrong directions!
8. The blank looks when I respond 'you too' to the statement 'have a nice day'.
9. My American friends always crochet when they have nothing better to do and have promised to teach me, I always thought only old ladies did crochet...
10. The uni workload.
