I'm not sure exactly what gives us away but I think it is a few things. I know near a military base, haircuts are a big giveaway. I also think Americans have a look of arrogance mixed with confusion as they walk around. On top of that we are a bit heavier and wear our clothes a little looser...
Vicki - when I was a CT for a designer at another site the site made a special kit at Christmas just for the CTs that all of the designers participated in. Then they didn't give out coupons or anything, just the kit. It was kinda cool. :)
Vicki - that is such a cool story. I always though most Europeans were like that as long as we didn't act like ugly Americans. They can spot Americans from a mile away and they treat them according to their attitude I think. Americans who were making an attempt to try and learn their culture...
I didn't have any rude Parisian experiences either in Paris. Then again me and Derek were just busy doing our thing. We went all the way to the opposite side of Paris to get KFC which was kinda fun. We hadn't been to the US in quite awhile so it was kinda cool.
When I went to Rome with...
Addie does the most random things. I still have no idea why she was doing this but it was entertaining.
I completed this for Selena's May Photo Challenge at Oscraps...using non-camera photos. these were messaged to me on my phone...
Did you guys know that in Italy if an Italian is learning English and then they try and speak to someone who has an accent they cannot understand a single word they say?
In many other languages they change the ending to an i if it is multiple...to include Italy. So, I went to order two cappucinos right after I had moved to Italy so I asked for due (pronounced doo-eh) cappucino. they looked at me like I was crazy. It was basically like saying "Can I have two a...
Vicki - my sister was bridezilla and didn't look into anything...so low and behold she picked square invites. They cost a fortune to mail. We had to seal them super tight to make sure they didn't go over in size and I think they ended up being about $0.85 each. I guess they cost more because...
I think a regular stamp for a letter is $0.45 right now. Postage for packages has generally gotten ridiculous though. That being said USPS (United States Postal Service) has started offering flat-rate priority boxes. When I was sending boxes to my brother in Afghanistan they were $8 and...
I have known this girl since she was Addie's age and Addie adores her. We left them at the house for a couple of minutes and Paige got these pics on her phone. They reminded me of photobooth pics and I got that idea from Chris's Web Inspiration Challenge this month...
MOther's day was uneventful. I went to church and then came home. Ethan was sick so all of their plans went out the window, plus we were tired from driving up to VA. I got my trailer. :D While we were up there we drove over to see Nana Linda for dinner. Had some pizza, let the kids play...
I took these photos behind the photo studio since they were so expensive but we went for group shots. this area was perfect for these pics and I love how they came out.
