The other country

[Burning Sheep Productions]

It's amazing how much each country differs from each other and I was wondering what it was like in the countries all you guys live in.<br><br>I know in England they have those public toilets where when you want to wash your hands you just stick your hands in this hole in the wall and soap pours onto your hands, then water and after a minute it dries your hands. This was about 5 years ago and I was quite amazed.<br><br>Also I learnt that in Germany they don't have adds on TV, instead they have introductions to the upcomming program. Where do the TV channels get their money!?<br>Oh yeah, almost all schools in Germany are public and only cost you 10 bucks a year!!<br>My parents have to pay bloody 10 grand for the private school I go to!<br>Now I feel ripped off.<br><br>Hey 5hfifty, what's it like in NZ?<br>I've heard it's got good landscapes and mountains and air.<br>But that's just from a TV add.

New Zealand is just like Australia in terms of the people etc. Yeah, it has really nice scenery and clean air and stuff. I miss it.<br><br>And yes, the difference from country to country is pretty amazing.

Ah, America! The land of the overpaid and the overfed!

I know in Japan they have vending machines that sell anything you can imagine. Beer, cigarettes, lunches, soda, toys, candy, coffee, etc.

YOu meen tho rockj stars? I would love to get me a Ringo Star from a vending machiene.

I can vouch for NZ's great scenery. It's mostly in the South Island, though the North Island is nice too (probably because 3/4 or so of the population lives in the North Island, 1/4 in one city). Only problem is it rains quite a lot.

[Henohenomoheji]

sorry, no rock stars, although its a good idea.

Hmm...<br>Any traveled to other places visiting relatives or plain old touring?

[Dr. Doog]

well, i once went west into tennesee. it's a different time zone, if you count that. yup, had to set my watch back 20 years.

[Zylo]

I know in Germany you can get beer at the drive-thru at McDonald's. And in Spain, wine is cheaper than soda.

Tennessees' teh most beautifull state IU've ever been in.
