Only in Honduras (continued)

*Christmas music plays everywhere in the malls, but you can't find it on the radio.

*A marching band comes up your street at 4am and fireworks start going off at 2a, stopping at 5a and resuming around 8:30p. (There is a carnival for a saint's holiday in your neighborhood.)

*You walk out of your house on a Sunday morning, only to discover there are 5-6 cows just wandering around your street.

*You get stuck in a traffic jam with 5 lanes going the wrong direction and people jumping out of their cars to try to direct traffic. No one is honking (this is normal). Two crowded buses pass just inches from your car.

*You attend a Christmas play at your church and it involves a neon Jesus in black light.
You are quite impressed.

*Denny's is considered a fancy restaurant. If you wear jeans there, you will feel very out of place.

*Five months into your stay, you discover that you can buy milk, eggs, and butter from the pulperia (little store) down the street. Rejoicing ensues.
