Not here?

After being here I have realized that there are some differences in this culture, ya I already knew that but what I mean is there are some things that they don't have here that we do have at home. I'll attempt to keep this listing somewhat short, as I could expand it later if the need arises. First of all I have not seen a pickup truck anywhere, not even ones that tradesmen use for their job, it is definitely not like states where everyone including grandmas drive them just because they are cool. On the transport front there are no school buses, we walk near two schools on our way to school, I see many city buses, privately owned buses but no large, yellowish school buses, I have to admit that I do sort of miss that. They do not have much if any customer service, I am not ranting although we did finally get our internet connection on the 17th of October, we are writing them a letter, although why would that really matter? This is not just a view that I keep, the Dean of Theological Studies also takes the same view, so it must be right:) They don't have much ice here, not in drinks, not in freezers, not on lakes, just not alot of ice, I am not a huge fan of ice on the road but some rocks with my coke, that ain't bad. They don't have near the number of electrical outlets that a modernized country should have. For example we have an outlet in our bedroom, this is used for lights, an iron, my razor, mobile phone charging, hair dryer etc... Presently we have our computer plugged in, but the printer, light and other light aren't because of our lack of outlets, it really is something that we are not used to. They do not have big phone bills here because they don't use them, it is mobile or nothing and to that it is text or nothing, why talk when you can text your thoughts and not have to interact? By the way we have a mobile, we text and hardly use the landline also, and we don't use much ice, we don't drive a pickup, and we are used to the lack of customer service, I guess we are fitting in quite well.

PS - They do not have college football here, but I am finding ways to keep up, looking forward to the OSU-Michigan game as much as the rest of the nation.
