Get used to it

Lightswitches: down is on, up is off.  Cars drive on the left hand side of the road.  Spicy things are actually spicy.  Motorcycles get to weave through the lanes at will.  TP is not a guaranteed luxury...neither is a seated toilets or a bathroom without an admission fee.  If you're doing laundry, the neighbours WILL see your undies hanging outside to dry.  Malls are triple the size of the typical North American mall but don't play music in the stores...or if they do, there is zero censorship on the gansta rap selections.  Manicures by Asian shops suck.  There are stray cats and dogs everywhere.  Monkeys are not cute and friendly.  The streets are rife with thieves and pickpockets.  Honking the car horn is for FYIs, not anger.

It's taken me a little over a week, but I think I'm finally getting the hang of this country.
