American Surprises; 7/1

So I've been back in the States for a few months and, just like everyone told me, coming back was a lot harder than leaving. Here's a few things I forgot about:

1. Our toilets use SO MUCH WATER!
2. Subway isn't $2.
3. Good supermarkets are hard to find.
4. Our license plates are silly.
5. CHEETOS!
6. People change clothes every day.
7. Dollar bills are incredibly small and all the same size.
8. People actually watch the news.
9. Satellite dishes provide an absurd amount of television channels.
10. Our coins sizes and colors just do not make sense.
11. Lots of people bike!
12. There is an unbelievable amount of chain stores and restaurants.
13. Twitter happened..?
14. Sweet foods are sweeter and portions are bigger.
15. Cheap stuff exists.
16. The overall sense of style is lacking, or maybe just a few years behind.
17. We have AWESOME Chinese food. At unbeatable prices. From people that don't speak English.
18. There's a lot of diversity here.
19. SPICY STUFF EXISTS! And, naturally, is delicious.
