After living in California for a few week, you start to notice the differences, here I’ve compiled a short list:

1. Its not a Washroom, its a Restroom (i’ve gotten weird blank stares when i said washroom)
2. The debit cards here also function as a credit card
3. The handle for the flush on the urinals are on the opposite side
4. The merge lanes onto the highway are incredible short
5. Having said 5, people actually yield to you when merging
6. Having said 5 and 6 can, no one knows how to drive when it rains
7. Gas is prepaid here, you gotta pay before you fill (i was at a gas station and tried to fill normally, i kept trying but no gas would come out, after 5 mins of looking idiotic and clueless, some guy came up to me and said to me that i had to pay first T_T)
8. Its not Pop is a Soda
9. Having said 8, Drink are bottomless at fast food places and at most restaurant (in fact, at most fast foods, the fountain drink machines is self serve)
10. Having said 8 and 9, here is the conversion chart for drink sizes here
    

    Canada	USA
    Small	N/A
    Medium	Small
    Large	Medium
    Supersize	Large
    N/A	Supersize
    WTF	Supersize+
    WTF+	Supersize++

11. 100F is very hot
12. You want ham on your pizza? Oh so sorry, we have Canadian Bacon
13. The waiters here always brings your bill before you ask for it
14. People tip more here, 18%
15. The sell fried pork rinds here:
    

Ok, it looks like my “short list” has grown into a large list. I will stop now.

More to come…
