Also, San Francisco Is Scary.
Jul. 11th, 2007 04:33 pmLessons I Have Learnt In San Francisco:
- When the walking-man sign is lit up, it means that it is legal to cross. It does not necessarily mean that it is safe.
- No matter which country you go to, you will always run into the angry stranger who shouts unintelligibly at you in the street.
- If you order waffles or pancakes in a diner, they may be served with what appears to be a scoop of vanilla ice-cream on top. This is not ice-cream; it is butter. Attempting to eat it as if it were ice-cream will make you look rather silly.
- American food portions are larger than any normal person would comfortably be able to eat.
- Everything in America is sweeter than it should be. Do not buy American fudge. INSTANT DIABETES.
- AAAAAAAAH TALL BUILDINGS (this may not technically be a lesson).
- Our puny universe may be limited to three dimensions, but that needn't stop a virtual log ride from being '4D'.
More may or may not be forthcoming, depending on whether I learn anything else! (Seriously, why call the main course the 'entrée'? Madness.)
Er, I am enjoying the holiday, in case there's any doubt. America is incredibly fascinating! It's just that the positive experiences don't tend to be quite so educational.
