Most likely, immigrants live in this house. By what signs can you recognize “our” house, shared her observations 50 shades of New York

 

It is rather difficult for Native Americans to explain why the inhabitants of the post-Soviet countries place two curtains at once in the window opening. We know that this is how tulle is designed to protect from bright sunlight and prying eyes. And the main curtain, sewn from a denser fabric, performs a decorative function, creates an appropriate atmosphere in the evening room. In America, a variety of blinds have long been used: horizontal, vertical, made from natural materials or plastic. Someone will say that this device makes the house look like an office, but over time people get used to it.

Also in New York apartments there are no doors between rooms. For example, the living room smoothly flows into the dining area. Those who move at first do not understand the convenience of such a layout. And they wonder how Americans can not be bothered by the smell of food. However, for those who live here, this is not a problem. The apartments have a powerful extractor fan that can freshen up the atmosphere in just a couple of minutes.

Another difference is that Americans generally do not use the electric kettle, which is popular in Russia. They heat water for tea on the stove or put the pot in the microwave.

The hard soap habitual for “our” people cannot be found in most American markets. Only liquid is used here.

There is one more feature of life in the USA: to visit acquaintances living in a high-rise building, it is not necessary to know the apartment number. Intercoms usually indicate the name of the tenant or owner of the property.

Please write in the comments what details of life in America impressed you the most?
