Things

Meh. It's time to write again. I think I'll do one of those comparison blogs again since it's the half-year mark (well, a little after but I'll be changing families this week).

FIRST OFF
It's Super Bowl Sunday. It's over already? I mean, I won't even be able to watch it ON Sunday! It starts at 0.30am on Monday! So currently, I'm waiting for that. But I'm watching it. Don't even think I won't. This is a freakin holiday. I want the party snacks... grrr.

Alright, now for some new stuffs. I'll be doing a little idea-stealing from friends here because I need to tell you all. I might repeat stuff because I'm too lazy to look back in my blogs.

1. Transportation is fantastic. If you want to go somewhere in Switzerland, chances are there is some sort of vehicle that can get you there. It blows my mind. I got lucky on my living area because the closest train station is Luzern, which connects to the biggest cities and is mostly an end station. If not, I can take a train to Zürich and get a transfer there EASY-PEASY.

2. Graph paper. It's the thing. Like I mean, the only thing.

3. COLORED PENS!!!!! Everyone (except me) has a huge-ass set of them

4. White out. Get it or you lose.

5. Glass cups, metal utensils and swivel chairs? Like kids at home could safely use those at school.

6. DON'T LEAVE THE HOUSE WITH WET HAIR

7. Gum chewing. Who cares?

8. Clean as a whistle that people clean really often

9. Well, except for all the cigarette butts

10. Swearing: Say "f*ck" on a bus and the American tourist will gasp. (that's my way of saying NO ONE CARES HERE. They ARE just words)

11. American Pie= rated 12yrs+... you get the idea...

12. It's very "for the greater good" here. In some way, its great. some not.

13.Remember when going through a tunnel was like the COOLEST THING EVER? It is no longer so.

14. Door/windows: Open regularly AND from the TOP!!! It's sooooo cool.

15. People are on time. They just are. That's how it is.

16. Dinner on weekdays is lame. Since lunch is the hot meal, dinner is bread, cheese and salami.

17. Butter. I'd say we go through 2-3 sticks a week

18. THE KEYS ARE SO AWESOME. I don't get how they work.

19. Swiss German annoys me because they only have 2 tenses. Past and present/future. I still don't know how I understand this but I just do.

20. No one expects someone speaking English to switch to Swiss German. MAN do they shit their pants.

21. Everything closes super-mega early

22. Sundays = suck-days. Nothing is open.

23. Use that knife to clean your plate. They WILL bring up the fact that people in the world are starving. Which pisses me off that they would even GIVE me that much food if they REALLY cared.

24. Money is so easy to spend when everything cost so damn much

25. WHERE IS THE NON-BUBBLY WATERRRRR

26. Censorship is very low.

27. What is suing? They don't really care what you do here. Like really, what you do is at your own risk.

28. They have a different idea what a sport is. Juggling: sport. Smolball: hockey goals, tennis rackets. Its a game.

29. They take showers after little to no work in PE. I mean, really people. One should sweat to qualify for a shower since i take one everyday anyways

30. The girls dress like they're going out for the night... all the time. And the guys.... there's no comparison... it's just European.

I'm done. Thank you and GO CHEESE HEADS!
