Yeah, having AYEEYE here has been eye-opening as to how different things are for him, Kargath!!
The other thing I found difficult to adjust to is US coins have no numeral denomination on them... and I was so distracted by everything, that I couldn't work it out quickly... which amused a couple of checkout girls, watching me count out loud and trying to remember which was five and which was ten... and they have twenty-five instead of twenty. And their notes are the same colour no matter what amount. BAH!!!!
Truly though, it was the most awesome time ever and I can't wait to do it all over again!!!
[EDIT: Just waiting for my batteries to recharge since I can't find my spares for my camera!!]
