* Women don't typically drink in public, except if they go to a bar.
* Infants and toddlers aren't required to be in a car seat. I saw one playing on the floor on the passenger side of the car and another was standing on the console in between the front seats!
* The natural gas tank is on the roof of the house. I wonder about this, especially when we have incredible lightening and thunder storms.
* The water tank is right next to the gas tank on the roof--the bill is not based on use but everyone pays a flat fee.
* At almost every bus stop there are bus "checkers". They monitor the buses and tell the driver if he (I have yet to see a woman driving a bus, however, I have seen 2 women 'checkers') is late, early or on time. The drivers toss coins to the checkers which I think is a tip.
* Since we arrived 35 days ago, we have had one day that we didn't see the sun and one day (24 hours) that it didn't rain. The rain only lasts for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
* The other day as I was walking through the Faria on my
way to school, I heard a big dog growl from behind a tarp-wrapped booth (pic). I quickly jumped away thinking a mad dog was about to charge me then I realized that it was someone snoring!
