#48: 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. Happy 4th of July!
