When I moved from the north to the south, (Mass to North Carolina), I couldn't go anywhere without being bombarded with tea. I don't even like tea.

What is weird about school buses?
Iceland virtually never has warning signs or safety fences for anything. Their attitude seems to be that you should have enough common sense not to walk off cliffs or stick your hand in boiling mud. Which makes perfect sense but was disorienting to someone from the USA.

I remember a quote from some Northern gentlemen during the early 1900s about why Pub culture never really took in the South was because it didn't matter if you were a stranger or not, Southerners would invite you in for food and drink, and INSIST you take it, so there was no reason for actual pubs.
