• all the pretty young girls who dress really well
• the crazy narrow streets
• how close to the curb the bus drivers careen
• how every female is wearing some sort of heels, whether they be a pair of slightly raised ballet flats or six-inch stilettos that seem destined to fall the storm grates

• that people look at their feet a lot when they walk
• that the American music they play at the mall is basically on ice-rink level (very very bad)
