More Random Information I've Learned Here

I've learned a lot here in my two and a half weeks so far. So here are some bullet points of information I have learned or experienced (Note: not all of it is factual, I'm sure):

- All electronic stores are called 3C. All of them. I have no idea what it stands for.

-If you are not from New York City or Hollywood, then no one really cares where  in America you're from. Most conversations about where I'm from go like this:
      Them: You're from America?
      Me: Yes
      Them: Hollywood? New York City?
      Me: No, I'm from.....
      Them: Ok (walks away)

-The one English word everyone knows here is "okay". I've had many conversations while trying to buy things where the person and I just keep saying ok to one another.

-The stoplights here have countdowns, and I think it is super cool. It lets you know how much longer the light will be red for. Super helpful. Here's a picture:

-They have the cutest take out boxes ever. They call them "lunch boxes". Here are a few pictures:

-Most restaurants close for two hours from like, 2-4pm. I've been told it's because people like to take a nap around then. I find it pretty inconvenient.

-I have recently been informed that ghost month is a holiday, but more like a really scary holiday. I thought it was a nice happy month celebrating the dead, but apparently it is the month where the ghosts are released from Hell after a year of pure torture. So, no one wonder people leave out food and burn paper money to get on their good side.

-It is bad feng shui to own a business at a T in the road, unless the profession deals with knives. So most places at the T's in the roads here are barber shops. It is horrible luck to live in a place at the T, so you could buy a place for pretty cheap here if you didn't care about the bad feng shui.

-Everyone wants to be pale here. You are considered ugly if you're tan. People always wear long sleeves, jackets, hats with big rims, gloves, etc. to cover up as much skin as possible. Also, a lot of their skin products have a bleaching agent in them. I've seen so many commercials for lotions that will make you pale and beautiful. Here is a Hello Kitty bleaching mask I found:

That's pretty much all I have for now!
