Now, that I have been here for one month and a half I made a lot of different experiences. I want to tell you about some of them:
One thing I have to mention again is the airconditioning. Why do people here in Texas, who are used to high temperatures outside, feel confortable having their rooms cooled down to 66 F?
I'm living in Coop and we were 4 people who shared an airconditioning together, which can be regulated from the hallway. Since we were 3 Europeans and one American we got a little fight about the right temperature. One night Eva, one of my suitemates stood up in the night four times to stop the airconditioning blowing with 50 F at her bed and waking her up all the time. And then she even wated for the American guy in front of the airconditioning to
and taped here airconditioning in here room. But still it was too cold for us and to hot for our american suitemate so that he even mooved to another room. It must have been very important for him. Now we are keeping our room at lovely 77 F. Probably unbeleavable hot for you Americans, isn't it?
Drive throughs at Mc Donalds or other places are something worth to write about too:
Some times when we were coming back from a party after midnight we wanted to get something to eat. But almost all fast food places close at 12 and just leave their drive throughs open. But what is the problem about walking through a drive through? We don't know. But they seem to have a problem with that: So we had to wait for a car coming and asking that people for giving us a ride through the drive through...
Yesterday I was surprised about the defintion of healthy and unhealthy food: A guy in our kitchen had two slides of white toast and mayonese on it. So I aked him why he didn't put something else on his toast. He told me that he is vegetarian and therefore he didn't know what else to put on it. I was proposing cheese, but then he told me that cheese is so unhealthy! Cheese is unhealthy? I have never heard about that before. He explained it to me by the too high procenture of fat inside...

Haha! I'm from the U.S. but I completely agree on the air conditioning! I've lived in other countries too, so we keep our house no cooler than 78 in the summer. But we had a few people who wouldn't rent a room with us cause they thought it was too hot!
I really like your blog; thanks for sharing your experiences!
