As promised.
- Everything is so goddamm spread out
- They don’t put tax on the menu or the price tag, so it always cost more than you thought it was going to
- Metro trains do not go most places and the bus system is far too complicated for me to get my head around.
- You have to tip everyone, for everything, everywhere, every time
- Working out a 17% or 18% tip is far more complicated than working out 10%, or even 15%. Fortunately there is an app for that.
- Temperatures are always given in Fahrenheit, so I have no idea if it is going to unbearably hot or excruciatingly cold. Fortunately there is an app for that.
- International House of Pancakes Restaurants. I’m not sure what makes them “international”, perhaps it is the fact they have maple syrup, or Seville oranges.
Nice! I think you are being kind... I am sure if you really thought hard about it you could think of some others... bear in mind that you don't have to tip if the service was bad but knowing you you would have.
