Megan:
- Screens in windows must be an US invention.
- Most commercial doors open by pushing in, instead of pulling out.
- Building codes are nonexistent, but no one seems to get hurt or file a lawsuit.
- Speed bumps are extremely overused, and traffic lanes are only a suggestion.
- Public transportation seats recline much further than in the States.
- There seems to be one standard type of paper napkin that is used in every restaurant throughout the country.
- These people love to make-out in plazas.
- The reason we don't have many old-school beetle cars left in the States is because they're all here.
- Mannequins are often set up backwards to show off the back of a pair of (tight) jeans instead of the front.
- It's frequently hard to tell who actually works in a store and who is just a friend hanging out.
- 'Cafe con leche' can be anything from drip coffee with milk to a latte to a shot of espresso with powdered creamer. It's always a gamble.

This is GREAT! I love it. I want to make one for Germany- I have had similar conversations with friends and everyday thoughts like this as I walk down the street. Writing it out is the perfect way to convey the more common differences, and to be able to remember these things for the future!
