Well that is odd

Things I find odd so far about this island:
1) They drive like gas is 9 cents a gallon verses the $9 is actually is.
2) The lack of pride that they take in their land, liter is everywhere.
3) They speak English but it is unlike any English I have heard
4) Pants
5) If you drop a seed it takes here yet, local fresh juice, vegetables and fruit are hard to come by and/or expensive.
6) The locals are not overly hospitable to the medical students and their families.
7) Loading my children into a van where no one wears seat belts.
8) Chickens are everywhere yet eggs are spendy.
9) The women are fat and the men are all skinny. Okay not every one of them, but in general.  
10) Fault in an automobile accident is determined by who has the most money.
11) "Trials" consist of the victim and the perpetrator returning to the scene of the crime where both parties discuss what happened.  Then the victim is allowed to ruff up the defendant.  
12) Childbirth is done under general sedation.( reason 107 that I will not be having a baby here)
13) Clothes get dirtier in the washing machine
14) Dishes get dirtier after hand washing them
15) Fruits and vegetables come in and out of season.
