You know you live in ... when ...
You know you live in Spain when you visit the local newspaper online and one of the photos on today's "live feed" is from a local pig slaughter to make chorizo and other local specialties.Sorry kids, I don't think I'll ever participate in that custom, but thank you!
*cringe*
Re: You know you live in ... when ...
The cook in me says "cool!" but the girly-girl in me says "eeeeeeeeew!"
You know you live in Bahrain when cars stopping instead of merging is an every merge occurance. You just don't know which car it will be.
haaaahahaha!
You know you live in Germany when everyone in your apartment building has an assigned turn to sweep and mop the hallway floors and actually does it, and you hurry to get it done at times when people aren't around so they won't notice what a half-*ssed job you do.
On a related note... when people congregate in the entryway to discuss who isn't doing a proper job of the aforementioned cleaning and who needs to be reminded that sweeping the front steps / cleaning the windows / cleaning the pollen dust from the mailboxes / etc, etc, etc, is part of the job.
lmao
Please correct that to say the Boston Metro Area. We speak real proper like up in SWNH.
Ditto! Even out in the sticks (ie west of Worcester) we know better than to add 'r's or, even better, randomly drop them
.
hahahaha, ayup, went to school for two years in the sticks of Maine.

Yep, the downstairs bathroom. The room needs to have just a toilet, possibly a sink, no shower/bath, but the calendar is mandatory! (My mom has it, all my Dutch family members have that. My dad used to when he still lived in Nl, and I think he tried to do that when he moved in with my stepmom who promptly removed it and said, yeah, we'll keep that in the study (or the kitchen, don't remember - long time ago)

NLFoodie is SPOT ON! I've been gifted both a birthday calendar AND an agenda.
You know you live in the Netherlands when you ask a friend to hang out and they tell you that they need to check their agenda for when they can make an "appointment." Usually this needs to take place a week or two in advance.
LOL. Great post!
You know you live in Minnesota when it takes you 20 mins to leave your parking space because you have to break the ice that is all over your car.
That, and starting up the car at least five minutes before you plan on leaving to let it warm up. Gosh, I don't miss that!
A friendly tip from a MI gal ... Remote Control Starter. Best thing ever.
I can't use one since I have a manual car.
You're so right about tha appointment making. The thing seems age-related though. Suddenly when you're out of college/have a job, you need to make appointments. Also, in the bigger cities hanging out seems to be a little more impulsive, but still, as soon as you have a job/family, appointments need to be made!
