4. Eel is the specialty here.
5. People drive on the left side of the road.
6. One teacher teaches everything at school.

8. People speak Japanese.
9. Books are read top to bottom, right to left, and back to front.
10. Power plugs have only two prongs.
11. Houses are very close together.
12. I have not seen any squirrels, rats, or really any wild animals besides birds, bats and insects.

  2. Dear Gran,
    You are right! There is so much more. I didn't have a lot of time. I might make a big list soon.
