Today, my roommates kept asking me why I had dinner "so early" at 7PM.  I told them this was normal in the US, but for some reason this didn't satisfy them.  It turned out they didn't understand why I was hungry so early in the day.  Once, however, they heard that I hadn't had lunch, they thought this made a lot more sense.

The other day, I was walking just outside of town on the concrete bank of the Rhône river. I didn't think anyone would notice me from the highway ,which was on a higher elevation than me, and a little bit further from the river, but a trucker honked his horn and flashed me the "peace sign" as he sped by.
