This is for my own amusement, really, but I realized there are a number of things I'm going to have to change once I get back to the States. Here's a list, whoo!
- "Konnichiwa" "Ohayou Gozaimasu" and "Konbanwa" are not commonly understood greetings.
-I'll have to stop throwing up the "v for victory" sign in photos, or else I'll look like a doofus.
-I'll have to stop saying "Sumimasen" when I bump into someone.
-I have to remember to consider sales tax when I purchase items (sales tax is already included in prices here).
-Taking off my shoes upon entering a dressing room in the U.S. is generally frowned upon.
-I won't have to separate my recycling and trash by the type of material.
-I'll have to learn how to live without a rice cooker or properly cooked white rice (unless I just eat at my boyfriend's house all the time).
-I'll have to get used to the cars driving on the other side of the road again.
-I won't have to tie up my cardboard and put it out for the paper truck to pick up.
and last but not least...
-I'll have to get used to getting horrible service at stores and eateries again. Nooo!
