1) Toilets that you know will flush when you finish your business
2) Ice
3) Free refills (almost unheard of here even in fast food restaurants like Burger King. Though now that I think about it, the price most restaurants in the US charge you for a drink assumes that you’re going to get about 4 refills. Even in pretty nice restaurants here drinks costs from $.40 to $.60, so maybe you come out cheaper in the end anyway)
4) Having both hot water and good water pressure at the same time (Due to the design of the “widowmaker” – see earlier post – you can either have hot water at a low pressure or high pressure with cooler water.)
5) Carpet
6) Road signs and traffic lights
7) Bathtubs
8) Bills that are actually worth something (you can carry around a whole wad of money here and it be worth about $25. The smallest bill is 1 lempira which is worth about a nickel in the US. Then they have coins that go even smaller. A 10 cent lempira coin is worth about half a penny. Here’s hoping the US money stays sound, although we should always keep in mind 1Tim 6:17).
9) Water you can drink and brush your teeth with (I’ve drunk so much soda and carbonated drink here, I’m sick of it. They love America simply because of Coca-Cola here. I’ve literally had people tell me that.)
10) Two sinks in the kitchen (contributed by Joy)
