7- Europe has so much CHOICE. I mean, for everything. Buying clothes? A million different stores, not just chains and cookie-cutter stores. Going to the supermarket? I swear, the yoghurt section at Tesco's is the most yoghurt types I may have ever seen (I miss you Al Marai strawberry yoghurt). It's a little mind-boggling, nice to have, and also makes you feel like you have to learn a bit and choose. Although the diet pepsi here tastes a little different than the one in Saudi I think. But that just might be nostalgia. Want to go do something? You can do ANYTHING. Which is sort of NY to me. NY is my favorite city ever because when I'm there I can really feel the possibilities. I fell it love it with the first time I went. You wake up and anything could happen. It might not. But it COULD. Perhaps London might have all those possibilities too although that feeling still belongs to NY.
8- Light switches becoming strings hanging from the ceiling. Was not used to that. And why do some houses have bathrooms in their own separate closet? The first time I saw that I thought I was perhaps drunk on tiredness and made rounds of the bathroom thinking I just couldn't SEE the toilet. Then I went out and was told it was in a closet by itself. Weird.
