However, there are a few things that still throw me for a loop.
- Toilet paper goes where? (I don't know why, but it does.)
- Water from the tap is potable? (Although now I'm living with uber-chlorinated water, so that isn't so much of an issue.)
- Everything. Is. So. Far. Away. (Okay, so maybe that is more shock of living off campus.)
- There is so much space between things. Aisles in the grocery store, houses, etc.
- Riding the bus cost $2.25, not 18 cents.
- I don't see any Asians. Or hear any Chinese.
- There's no one around to speak Chinglish with me.
- Time zones. My gracious. It was simple in China: if I was talking to students or teammates, they were the same. If I was talking to someone in America, they were most likely about 12 hours off. But now I barely know which country I'm in, some students are in America, and some of my American friends are in America and some are in China. Confusion....
In other news, I finally wrote my last newsletter today, and it should be in the mail soon, thanks to the phenomenal Comm Department. :D
