Gas and stuff
First of all, gas is like $1.19 a liter. There are 3.79 liters in a gallon. So that's like $4.50 a gallon. So American's can stop their crying now. Wah. Buy another 8 miles to the gallon SUV gas hog. There should be an SUV gas tax. Especially for Hummers. I hate them. It's like, "Hey look at me I have no penis, and I can't afford a Ferrari or a Corvette, so I got a Hummer. Now I'm a man." LOL. I haven't really missed my Jeep (and yes I realize that I would probably be part of the SUV gas tax). I kind of enjoy taking public transportation and walking everywhere. I would do it at home if the U.S. was designed to take advantage of public transportation. And I can't afford to move to the city, so I am forced to use my car. Anyway, whatever right?
They have most of the car brands that we have. They have Peugeot, Citroen, and MG. They don't have Chevrolet or GM, they have Holden (which is a GM company). I have seen a whole bunch of really expensive exotic cars here. Ferrari's and Maserati's and Aston Martin's. I even saw a Lamborghini, not sure what model though. Lots of rich bastards in this city.
At the supermarket, the rear wheels on the shopping carts aren't locked so the carts go in whatever direction they want to go. At home, the front wheels spin around and the rear wheels are locked straight so you have some kind of control over the cart when you push it. Here, all 4 wheels spin around. So you can hold on to the handle and make a complete 360 degree turn without any resistance. Can't do that at home.
I haven't been able to find a decent tasting brand of ice cream from the supermarket. I have tried every brand and they all are a little off. It's just plain vanilla, nothing fancy. I can't wait to go home and get a Nifty Fifty's shake. And go to Magianno's.
I'm watching the U.S.'s Biggest Loser. When they show the amount of weight lost, they show it on the screen in kilograms. Cuz it's metric here (like we were supposed to be by now according to my 5th grade teachings)
It was cloudy and miserable today. I didn't really go anywhere or do anything noteworthy.

I think they should make gas at least $20 a gallon, all over the world, except in the U.S. That was we could have cheap gas and the rest of the world could make up the difference.
