More typical American things I have noticed..
· I just saw an overweight police officer on a motorcycle wearing cotton black pants, a shirt with short sleeves and an old fashioned flowerpot helmet..
· On the TV and on the radio they have a lot of advertisements for medicines.
· Next to the freeway there are a lot of advertisements for ‘Jesus’. But the advertisements don’t mention where you can get it.
· As I approach the middle of nowhere I notice that prices are dropping incredibly fast. For a small bottle of water I used to pay around 3 or 3 dollars but now I can buy an entire tray of bottles of water for only 1.50.
· Street artists are almost always accompanied by a big sound system.
· Those typical barrels with water, that are always there in action movies to make a big spash, right before leaving the freeway are really there!
