You know you don't live in Greeba when...

I thought I'd mention a few things that really bring home the North American experience.

Firstly, who watches(ed) Friends? Well, it's weird to be driving along and see a huge billboard advertising Joey (from Friends), "Coming this Fall on Cable". Billboards for things other than the Steam Packet and Mann Travel are rare back home.

Driving on the right, nuff said.

Tornado warnings on TV.

Snow in September.

Basements. It's just like a big room, but underground. Actually, it's not like that, it actually is that.

Really big portions of stuff. Although McDonalds portions are still pellet sized. Weird.

When your kids say "Britney was eating candy at recess" and there's no innuendo involved.

When the first thing you look for on a new TV is whether it takes a PAL signal so you can play your goddamn XBox again.

House doors don't have letterboxes. You don't get your mail delivered to your house. Our postbox is at the end of our road in the big-mailboxes-for-the-whole-road-thing.

CSI is the only thing on TV. And Everyone Loves Raymond.

I may add some more tomorrow, but for now I have to hit the Freeway (that's a BIG road).

Love

Colin
