When you've been in-country long enough, you learn to use corn cobs. Dry 'em out on a hot rock and use 'em again....till they're smooth as a piano lid.

No, but I tend to be confused for a day or two about which faucets are the hot and cold water.

When you tell someone 'it will be done tomorrow', do you mean tomorrow or is it just that you mean 'not today'?

Getting gas in the States and actually putting away my cash, using a credit card that gives me either frequent flier miles or a 5% cash back. Oh yeah, not pulling in front of a pump, running out of the vehicle to make sure the pump is set at zero and actually paying for amount that I get. Damn, I can’t wait to get back to Mejiko to put with all of these minor nuances!

In the states I do still stand there and wonder where the person is that will wash my windshield for a propina though.
