Cross cultural mission

It's time for another look at cultural differences.


Good things in the US:
  • Saturday mail delivery
  • 4 lane highways
  • Pottery Barn
  • Walmart

Bad things about the US:


  • High fructose corn syrup
  • the number of 'holidays' they celebrate that require gift giving, dressing up and house decorating (next 2 are Valentines day and St.Patricks Day)
  • 'Zee' instead of 'Zed'
  • Walmart
