Hello!

Here's some differences I've noticed in Lima, Peru:

• Shoes are worn inside the house (the floors get pretty dirty)
• Different meal times
• Lunch is the bigger meal of the day and is eaten at around 2 or 3
• Supper is eaten quite late, at around 8 or 9

• No drinking from the tap: the water isn't safe
• People drink soda and bottled water

• Pedestrians do not have the right of way
• You have to be very careful crossing the street; people drive fast and crazy and everyone honks a lot.

• Lunch isn't served at school
• At least, not at my school.  There are snacks available for purchase, but lunch is eaten when you get home, at about 3 
• Houses are small and compact
•  Most people don't have yards of any kind, some have small courtyards
• Different transportation
• Lots of taxis
• Micros are buses. You can wave them down I think...and hop on when they are stopped.  Lots of people can be jammed inside.
• Condiments typically come in bags
• Milk comes in bags or boxes (from what I've seen)
• Tons of advertisements everywhere (especially along the highway, ENORMOUS signs, specifically for Coca Cola)
• Inca Kola is just as popular as Coca Cola:  its a yellow soda that kind of tastes like bubble gum.  its very popular here.

There's probably 7 thousand more but I'm tired so I'm done now =)
