[quote=Anonymous]Americans only eat cereal in the morning, they eat in their cars, and they walk around with food in their hands at all hours of the day. They are squeamish about meat that doesn't come neatly cleaned and presented in a styrofoam pack. Also, Americans overshare and are generally indiscreet. We moved to Lisbon and I've gotten used to hearing all of the above - as well as OP's list and many of the other things said. Things I miss most: real air conditioning (places here say they have it, but energy is expensive and no one runs it for very long). I miss the convenience of being able to get OTC medications at the supermarket - here, you have to go to a pharmacy and speak with a pharmacist even for simple things like Tylenol. And I miss emailing people and getting a prompt response - here, no one responds to email, you must call and arrange everything by phone. [/quote]
