Living here means....

* ...you fear any amount of bathwater getting into your mouth may have a serious adverse effect on your health.

* ...there's not a dishwasher in our whole city.

* ...year after year, I never have to drive a car!! I really like this!

* ...when we do get in a vehicle, we don't have carseats or seat belts. Just guardian angels.

* ...no Mexican food. My kingdom for some nachos!

* ...no carpet. I really like this too!

* ...never wearing shoes more than 2 feet inside the door.

* ...the inside of your friends' homes are only 30 degrees (like outside) since they don't want to pay for electricity costs, even if it's accessible.

* ...buying a box of fireworks for 12 cents.

* ...you can pick your nose in public and no one minds. (Can't pick your teeth though.)

* ...it's acceptable to ask anyone about their age, salary, rent, and even their diarrhea problems.

* ...you don't have to stand in line. It's every man for himself.

* ...no worries if you forget your deodorant, everyone else did too.

* ...looking 360 degrees every time you cross the road.

* ...never watching TV (it doesn't speak English).

* ...it's very very easy to say the wrong thing and cause much laughter.

* ...dear friends are dearly missed, new friends are dearly treasured.
