1. You can never keep your car clean here. No matter what 20 minutes after washing your car it will be covered in mud again. The tractors bring the mud from the fields onto the road and its impossible to avoid!
2. Even if things say 240v that doesnt always mean 240v and things will blow up
3. The ovens are really tiny, I can only fit one of my baking sheets (the smallest one in the oven). Baking a batch of cookies take forever!
4. You can watch Friends on TV here 24/7 it is always on TV. Some people hate it other people (me) love it!
5. Even though we both keep the same language there is still a barrier between me coworkers and I. It is hilarious to hear our conversation and not understand each other. I mentioned the cheesecake flavor turtle cheesecake and my coworker thought it was cheesecake in the shaped of a turtle and had no idea what I was talking about.
6. The Fog is so bad! like nothing I have ever seen
7. Our Thanksgiving turkey will not fit on our freezer (we bought one a couple weeks ago because we heard the commissary sells out) well keeping a turkey on ice in a cooler does not work and the turkey defrosted....luckily the commissary didn't sell out so we went back to buy another one. Total $65 for thanksgiving turkey! haha
8. Once again British people can't believe the size of the turkey's we have in America. They couldn't believe we bought a 23lb turkey.
9. Learn to go with the flow because the commissary is always out of everything I ever need, and the local grocery stores don't always have what I need so I just have to learn to go with out things....like pie crust for thanksgiving :(
10. The sunrises here are amazing and the sky is always gorgeous here. It also always feel a lot colder here than it really is. The air is so damp and wet 45 degrees feels like 30 degrees.
11. Learning to deal in celsius because my oven is in celsius and its what everyone talks about when they talk about weather....
