Culture shock...

Moli · 24-11-2008, 10:40 PM

Things are so totally different over here, most of the big shops are open till 10pm at night, they have different names for things, very laid back way of living.....I am managing to suss the currency out just! use 10 or 20 dollar bills, do not ask me to use anything smaller though...
But I am luckier than most visitors, have DM if I get stuck!!

Its funny seeing christmas decorations, when the weather is so hot too...

There is a huge shop just along the road, its called a pharmacy, but sells everything and anything, and is open 24hours too....
Oh and the water here is brilliant, my hair has never been so shiney!!

Sounds like you're having a great time.

Most cities do have all night pharmacys and do sell the most amazing selection of things...I suspect most of the income comes from non-pharmacy items! None of my local supermarkets sell the small one pound Danish Plumrose hams so I always buy mine at ...the pharmacy!

It could be "cured" ham, Kazz

Kazz, "pharmacy" here is more of a general purchase store with a pharmacy counter. Food, except produce, watches, cameras, socks, greeting cards and wrapping paper,
magazines and books, cosmetics, cat and dog food, envelopes, batteries, file folders...I could go on and on!
