Differences from America

1. Unisex bathrooms
2. There is a separate nossle for hot water and cold water so you need to balance out for a good temperature...kinda like a sink
3. Toilets have 2 flush buttons, A full flush is for when you shit, a half flush for when you pee.  You must also hold the flush button for 5 seconds.
4. There is no such thing as tipping
5. The lowest paper money is a $5 bill, so you get a shit ton of change
6. There is no penny. I found this out when i bought wine for $9.99 and gave the cashier a $10.  After a minute of standing there waiting for my penny with the cashier awkwardly looking at me I told me i dont get any change because there is not such thing as a penny
7. Driving on the left is crazy, especially when you come to a rotary
8. If you replaced every 4 way intersection with a rotary and every rotary with a 4 way intersection in america....then you would get australia.  Four way intersections are very rare, almost every intersection is a rotary which does make driving places faster i guess
9. Cars always have the right of way and they take advantage of it.  You need to cross the road when there are no cars coming, they do not stop for you and get very angry if they even have to slow down.
10. A cleaning lady named Winnie comes into your dorm room every fortnight (two weeks) and vacuums, dusts, and cleans for me
