To mention

 So. When i'm driving, walking, talking or whatever here I always think: "that i'll put on my blog later"
It can be Arno's funny comments, the schoolbus, a house or anything. There are so many different things that it is hard to mention even some of it.
But here are some things I remember for now:
  • The cars drive very close to you, both behind you and on your side, especially on the sides. They have other speedlimits here - 65 here is about 110 in Sweden. You drive in 20 when your passing a school (if there's children on their way). The roads here are pretty bumpy with a lot of holes and reparations, and they're also pretty wide. Sometimes there are more lanes, like two for example (the most common here in my neighbourhood, which is not very big) then you can drive in whichever you want to, pretty often in the left one i think. Atleast Charlie and Isabel drove there a lot. When there is a red traffic-sign and you're going to turn right you are allowed to drive as long as there is no other sign saying you can't and you have to make sure no other car is comming. There are tons of cops here........
  • There are tons of squirrels in our garden (and all over) and we also have chipmunks here, but I don't like them, they look like rats..
  • A typical streetsigh (the one on the top ofc). It's not very clear, but it's green with white letters.

  • At the grocerystore they usually have one entrance and one exit-door. When you get in there they have so much stuff that we don't have in sweden. For example they have something that looks like our swedish buffé - you can take whatever you want from a serving table, like in the school restaurant. It is all kind of stuff, like chickenlegs, rice, vegetables and much more. What's hot is hot. And you pack it like take away. They also have a person that pack your goods in bags when you have paid for it - what a service!
  • This one make me think of the US. There are a lot of them on the streets.

  • We also have two doors when we enter the house we live in. There is one door with nets against bugs and insects in the front and then one more, a little bit more serious.
  • Seen this one before? My family doesn't have it, but it's still really cool! There are newspapers on every driveway when I walk Arno to school.

  • Another thing is that they have special grasscutters in the neighbourhood that have their machines and goes from house to house, cutting the grass. It's just for the people who pay for it ofcourse, but i think it's a smart thing. Insted of having everybody do it all the time, some people do it as a job.
  • Just another cool thing if there's a fire.

 

Well, I think that's enough for now. I know I have still more to tell, but that'll be another time.
