3. Beer is not sold in six packs. It is either singular or in three packs.
4. Coke cans are usually shaped more like a fat red bull can.
5. Rice is packaged in an air-tight package.
6. Grocery store check ladies (never seen a man performing this job here) sit rather than stand.

9. There is no such thing as a doggie bag at restaurants.
10. It is crude to drink beer out of the bottle.

12. I've learned how to use a bidet, and already I love it.
13. Everyone goes to the grocery store all the time.
14. There are rarely sidewalks in Italy.
15. Technology in general is sub-par-- but that's normal.
16. People go out and have drinks and food before dinner. It is called an aperitivo.
17. Many people, at least in Bogliaco, have pet turtles that they build houses for in their backyard.
18. There is no such thing as a full, queen, or king bed. They simply put singularo beds together.

20. Sex is better in Italy.
