Something about that "trains and bus being on time" thing. If a bus or train is scheduled to be there at 3:45pm it's a trap! Run!! Because what that really means is its pulling off at 3:45:00pm. You need to be there at 3:40pm. True story. Never ran so much in my life.
It was really strange when I first came to Australia, I found out school hire people to clean classrooms, I was like dang they could have used student free slave labours
I did cleaning our own classroom when I was in schools in Japan. I wonder why students here in US don't clean the classrooms themselves. Is because they don't get paid?
