Things I don't understand about The Land of The Free...

Some people might remember my list of things I didn't (and still don't) understand about Afghanistan... You would think that The Land of The Free would be very similar to Denmark... Think Twice!!! Here we go... Why not? I do not understand scented garbage bags, scented tampons or scented toilet paper... I also don't understand how biking as your main means of transportation is such a WOW-thing... I don't understand why everything has to be family size... What in the world am I going to do with 1 Gallon (3.79L) of Kikkoman Soy Sauce.. OK, so I like sushi - but a liter a month - is probably a bit over the top... There are tons of other things... But let's safe some for later. I have started Photography school - and YES it is INTENSIVE and EXPENSIVE... I am a major gear nerd - and this is not good for my addictive personality or my credit card. But hey! We only live once... This is MY dream - so I will do the best I can to get the most out of it. For instance being at school until 10PM Saturday night is so out of character for me (except for when I wrote my Master Thesis and moved into the University for 30 days)... But I love it and am happy that I for once am not the biggest nerd around. I haven't really had time to explore much of Montana or Missoula... But I think I like it. I got a GREAT place to live and am sort of getting used to the real world again... BUT - and who would have thought that I would EVER say this; "I miss my cleaning lady, my house-boy, and my cook!". I am not exactly sure why it still is a surprise to me that nobody made my bed, did the dishes, washed the floor, did my laundry, used my shampoo and looked through all my stuff while I was out all day... Ahhh, the dream of having the best of both worlds still lives on...
