Things we love about America...

My Dad questioned why I would want to go on this trip and leave, in his opinion, the best country in the world. I tried to explain that this trip would only make me appreciate home more and would open my world up... So this list is for you Papa Grenney and we will continually add to it.

In America...
- the majority of people don't smoke cigarettes (unlike Europe)
- water fountains and clean drinking water always at your finger tips
- Bus drivers and taxi drivers follow most rules (unlike Italy and Greece)
- there are driving rules (unlike Italy, Hungary and Greece)
- Dinner is before 9 at night (unlike Greece)
- you don't have to pay for public bathrooms ( unlike all of Europe)
- the majority of bathrooms have locks and toilet seats (unlike Greece)
- having one common language rather than multiple (unlike Europe)
- that you don't have to hold the shower head (unlike lots of Europe)
- that you can put toilet paper in the toilet (unlike Greece)
- people wait in lines rather than pushing and shoving (lots of Europe)
- strikes don't shut down public transportation (Greece)
- stores don't close in the middle of the day for siesta (although I love an afternoon nap, this really prevents anything being done all afternoon) (unlike Italy and Greece)
- people use deodorant
