That's awesome. I'm fascinated with the differences between cultures. Even though I've lived in Asia for six years, I still run across little things every day that remind me of how everyone looks at things just a bit differently. Thanks for stopping by and good luck with your course. Hi Mel,

Yet another very interesting read. Its interesting that you re-posted this as a link on your facebook as Im taking a french as a second language course and there are a number of westerners in my classes. I was observing the fact that its so much harder to read whats going on with them and in general, how different all cultures are. The restaurant icon makes sense to me when it comes to Ontario, but here in Quebec the french like to be loud in restaurants, however Im sure that the society as a whole is entirly a different story. I commend you for making you life somewhere completely different then what you were used to. Its very courageous and its always interesting to read about your adventures. ~take care Mel Hey Carrie!

I shower twice a day, sometimes four times during the summer. My wife has explained the rational of the before-bed shower. It makes sense, but I need a shower to wake up in the morning. Queues, or lack there of, drive me mad. I've learned to jump into the fray, elbows extended. I think Darwin summed it up in his theory of survival of the fittest. More too-true icons.

I can really relate to the showering one. I am American but had Indian ayas and nannies and grew up showering at night. But my American sensibilities kicked in eventually and I found myself compelled to shower twice a day! Now I just opt for mornings. While I understand the whole sheet thing, I think being asleep for 8 hours makes you feel icky, if not dirty; how can you start the day feeling that way?? This is interesting.
