You know you're in L.A.........

When you turn up at 9pm (as per invite) at friends house for a BBQ and find the host stilll out and then having to make small talk with their parents...........it took me some time to get used to turning up late on purpose!

When going on a date with a lovely lady includes an akward introduction to the entire family (parents, granny and gandpa, dog, cat etc) upon picking her up from her house.

When people don't move out of parents' place until they get married.

When the guy in the far left lane wants to turn right at the very last minute.

When the use of a hand out the window instead of using your indicators is the norm.

When a red light at night means nothing, might as well be green cause they are not stopping!

When the combis/minibuses are called "asesinas".

When a local native thinks the crew rest compartment is a loo!!!!!!!!!!!!

When Sundays are reserved for family instead of getting hammered at the local pub.

When on said day you go out for lunch and require a table for 20.

When you can have a live-in maid and a nanny, watch-man/porter and can hire a chauffeur to drive your car instead of taking a cab.

Saludos,

OW
