The train thoughts are back and this time its noticing what American ways have influenced me;
Colloquial:-
- its not petrol anymore, its "gas"
- not speaking as fast as i used to, there's a lot of pausing, especially in between my sentences.
- usage of "like" in most places
- "how much does it cost" rather than "what's the charge"?
- potluck was new to me
- query "how are you?" more often
Customs:-
- the voicemail dependence
- salads for lunch time
- the countless variety of break/milk and other basics aren't puzzling anymore
- making appointments for every thing
- paper towel usage (quite excessive)
- ability to converse or make random comment with complete strangers
just an observation, its all good! :-)
