The small things

Post-Office opens Saturday mornings. Banks too. (Neit!)

• 15% per cent tip is mandatory. Always. (Check your cell-phone, it has a tip calculator... Didn't you know?)


• Sender and receiver both pay for text messages.


• Cell phone plans? Most plans include contracts (monthy payments).


• Price tags (anywhere) don't include tax (6 per cent in Connecticut)... Had some weird situations at the cash register because of this...


• Bucket List are the list of things you want to do before you die. Jonh Mayer wrote the most beatiful song for a film with that title in 2007/2008... I guess (It's called Say)


• It will take you a whole week-end to finish reading the Saturday edition of the New York Times (just like Expresso in Portugal...lol)


• Whenever you slip on an icy area, don't think exercising your injured arm will make it heal faster... it won't (believe me)...


• Just because you decided to take french lessons at the local Alliance Francaise doesn't mean your teacher will have original french accent... She most likely will have american speaking french accent (AAAArrrrggghhhh!)

Have a good week!

PS- Yes, the photo. Saint Joseph's cathedral in Hartford. It's overwhelmingly huge. Went there this Sunday. Enough said.
