1 Everyone in SAN JOSE hands you your money backwards when you get change. As in out here you get your ones on top and fives follow, followed by tens, etc. Out THERE you get your twen-twens on top and the one-ones on the bottom. Very dificult to adapt to.
2 Water faucets actually flow as our faucets in Pittsburgh. CALIFORNIA water does not come out of the faucet like high pressured streams of Campells Chunky Soup as I was expecting.
3 "THE HAND". NEVER think a man in his 60s is grabbing your hand to be friendly. HE IS GAY! I was riding the 64 bus and this Veitnameese (im assumin) man was trying to tell me something. I kept gettin closer until he grabbed my hand. Thinkin hes nice, i held his hand and made a motion like Arsinio Halls root/cheer. He kept asking where i was going. I said the park (for the BBQ). He said "Ill go to the park." and slipped a hand into my crotch and i jumped up and yelled at him then sat in the back.
4 When ordering fast food from an attractive senorita you can say: "Numbero Quatro" then she says something and you say "con queso" and you get a number 4 with cheese. However i ran into problems when she said my total in spanish, and then something else.
5 the TROUBLING THOUGHT. I noticed like 100 bail bond places. They must almost have it as a business to lock up minorities ount there. To me it seems that there must be a lot harder for your guys out there than in Pittsburgh as far as racial based offenses.
