United States vs. Europe
Big bananas- Small bananas
Big trucks taking up three parking spaces- Smart cars taking up one third of a parking space
Women running in short shorts- Men running in short shorts
Businesswomen dressed all in black: black jacket, black slacks, black stockings, black shoes- Businesswomen dressed all in hot pink: pink jackets, pink slacks, pink fishnets, pink shoes
Bums obscured in the dumpster- Well dressed older men with a shepherd's caps and leather jackets obscured in the dumpster
More people speak Spanish that English- More people speak English than just Spanish
Salt- Salted meat in the window of shops
People dressed in unicolor velour sweat suits- People dressed in anti-directional stripes (oh yes, tops, bottoms, tights, leg warmers, and hair ties)
Foreign shows or movies with subtitles- Dubbed shows and movies; the mouth never matches the words
Small computers and telephones- Small showers and dishwashers
I love this one!
