Below is a list of all the interesting/strange things i noticed/happened to me while on holiday in Boston (the list format is always easiest to read i find!):
1) Americans never put the actual price of anything on the price ticket! For example, when trying to purchase a packet of grated cheese, i wanted to know the price. The ticket says: 2/$4.00. So if i buy 2 it's $4, but i only want one! So how much is that?? well after much loud questioning in front of the cheese, a nice American shopper informed me that you have to divide the 4 dollars by 2 to get the price of one. So 1 is $2, and 2 is $4. so no special deal if you buy two. so why not just put the price of one!?! and dont even get me started on adding the tax yourself......
2) Amercian food is even tricker to eat than English! I got egg and ice cream up my nose whilst trying to get them (on two separate occasions!) I also accidentally swallowed a m&m whole,and nearly choked to death, as it took me rather by surprise!
3) Americans know how to do a good mini golf course! we went to an amazing course, with boats, bridges, waterfalls, and REAL sand bunkers. I dont think i need to say anymore.
4) The tiniest toothpaste tube i've ever seen was given to me free on the plane. It is so tiddy, and perhaps the cutest thing i've ever seen.
I dont think this list is quite finished! but i've got to go and eat!
