• At home: How do I get the shower to come on?
• At home: The washer will not spin (lid was open)
• What is a tampon?
• How do they know what the weather will be tomorrow?
• Is this the biggest bag of rice they have?
• Why do all the ice cubes look the same? (not made by busting ice from a plastic tube)
• Where does the pee go when you flush on the airplane?
• You can really make free cell phone calls on nights and weekends?
• You only take one shower a day?
• Old people have jobs?
• They let you take the shopping cart outside?
• At Wal-Mart: They let you check your own stuff? How do they know you wont steal it?
• Why does the traffic light have a Yellow?
• Did you see how those drivers just stopped for us when we crossed the street?
• Why would anybody want to get a tan?
• Why don't they have cheese popcorn at the movies?
• You can make popcorn in the microwave?

That's great, I'm glad to see you are having fun and are happy!

My fiancee doesn't even live in the US yet, and he wants to know how I can work and go to school at the same time lol

Thats funny and cute

[GabiandVi 34]

Really nice. It's good you are keeping track of all this. It will be fun for her in a few years to remember how strange she found everything.

P.S. If she wants larger bags of rice, tell her to go to Louisiana. We sell them as large as they do here in China.

[RyaNRiza 1]

[*]Is this the biggest bag of rice they have?

[*]Why don't they have cheese popcorn at the movies?

I can see Riza asking me those. LOL She loves rice and cheese popcorn.

Tomorrow I am going to try a Filipino restaurant with some friends. So maybe she can have a taste of home when she gets here.

Wow that so awesome. I cant wait for ShaSha to get here so we can do the same. I live in Las Vegas so im sure she will be amazed and have lots of questions.

That is so cute.My fiance already asked me a couple of similar questions.

[*]Is this the biggest bag of rice they have?

[*]Why would anybody want to get a tan?

Frank, That is so sweet.. I can see you're having the best time of your life.. I am looking forward to mine.. hopefully about 5 weeks from now!

I can see those two right off the bat from my fiancee She prepares rice 3 times a day for her younger brothers and niece. and I have two boats I almost live on in the spring and summer.. and I think it might get interesting when she finds out I turn very tan from being on them for the most part.. she's light shinned and dislikes the sun.. But, I know she will enjoy the outdoors here with me and my son.

my son Zach at the helm
