Did you know that in Cincinnati...

people stop for STOP signs, even when there are no cars around?

you can bike on the sidewalks and people will smile at you and step aside?

a car honking means that people closed off their car, that's all! People hardly ever honk when they are angry!

all girls drink beer when they go to a bar. Asking for a wine is fancy and cider is likely to be non-alcoholic

men wear t-shirts under their work shirts (really?)

people cut their food and then only use their fork in their right hand to eat it up

cats are considered to be indoor animals and are very often declawed

German beer is "cool" because people here are often descendants from German immigrants

Belgium is mainly known for their waffles and beer (not really for chocolate, fries or mussels)

it's normal to drink bloody mary's and mimosa's for brunch and margaritas when you go and eat Mexican

people get together before sport games to drink and eat barbeque and that's called "tailgaiting" (because the back of a truck that you can open is called the "tailgate")

it's normal to have lunch at 11h30 and dinner at 6pm which means that you can have an afterparty or "after-drinks" at 8pm ;)

people go to bed at 10pm at the latest and get up at 6am at the latest (...)

...

I love it here :)

Ik wil ook wel eens fietsen daar. Vandaag ook wat gecrosst op de voetpaden in Antwerpen, maar hier gaat niemand uit de weg :(
