#40: I Had No Idea
It turns out that sockets really are different in America than in the UK. For one, an on/off switch only exists in our bathrooms, and for two, our voltage is different. I’m not sure about the overall size, but I know we have two different types here. On one, there are just two prongs, and on the other, there is a ground pin slot.
As for zip codes and telephone number lengths, I had no idea other countries had ones with letters or different number lengths. That would be super confusing! Still, every once in a while, we get a whole new area code, and that throws everyone for a loop. There were only two where I live, and now there are five!
Thanks for joining us during our exploration of what people around the world like about America! I can genuinely say it’s been an honor and that I’m so very thankful to take the time to sit back and think about how great America is this week.
