observations 2 and other stuff

here's some more random stuff i've thought of since last week...

kiwis love theme parties.  i've told y'all about the foga party, but last weekend i also went to a neon(fluorescent) one, i've heard about a foam party and a general costume party, and i saw some people walking around in superhero costumes or something like that

they don't say "bless you" or anything else after someone sneezes.  i thought that was odd

i haven't seen very many diet cokes, not to mention any pepsi or dr pepper, and sprite zero is more common than the regular stuff.  there isn't gatorade, powerade monopolizes the sports drink category.

they call mcdonalds "mackers", or at least a commercial does.  on that note, other fast food places i've seen are kfc, pizza hut, and burger king.  however, they are definitely not on every corner like they are here

most toilets have "half flush" and "full flush" options

in general, the guys wear shorter shorts than the girls.  the guys shorts are mid thigh or a little higher, and the girls' are usually knee length

the guys like to walk around barefoot everywhere- on campus or in town

in case you're interested, my classes are pretty small, having around 15-20 people in each.  and we're supposed to address the prof by his/her first name

this is from a long time ago, but it's worth still putting up.  silly sheep.  sorry about the lady's head in front of me.. haha

  1. Silly sheep??? They didn't move. Makes you wonder how long it took to get them arranged.

  2. they actually brought them up one by one. they must be well trained sheep because they all went where they were supposed to go... and they also had a bowl of food where they were standing so i guess that helps

    and the sheep are silly because they don't move. they just stand there and let the dogs run on top of them.
