small things

its funny how some things from America have an influence here. things like music. they love our music! in restaurants and stuff they play our music more. and when Mercedes cooks she listens to Norah Jones, Alicia Keys and Amy Winehouse haha. but other things like politics, clothes and food they have their own opinions and culture. except i have seen the occasional Burger King and McDonalds...the mcdonalds here has coca-cola light and free internet with your purchase so i went their yesterday. but their menu has completely different things on it. of course they have the usual whopper and big mac but they also have more cultural things. and here when you start talking to someone and tell them you are american, usually their second question is related to Bush and Obama and they want our opinions. from talking to these few people it seems like they have more interest in our government than half the people in the US.
