The sun moving the wrong way in the sky.

The seasons.

The inability to walk anywhere useful.

The nasal accents.

The delicioous bagels.

Why is everyone so loud?<br />2. Why does television suck so bad?<br />3. Why doesn't anyone say "feck" anymore?<br />4. Why is Tetley considered tea?<br />5. Oh my god, do we have to watch basketball AGAIN?! I relate to all of those, plus:

Well, I haven't yet looked for $2 coins, but other things strike me: the total absence of grafitti, the abysmal condition of the roads (well, compared to the Swiss autobahns... it's not too far off from the French highways, though), and the existence of HUGE, non-underground parking lots.
