5. Two males riding on a motorcycle is perfectly acceptable.
6. There is no such thing as personal space, silly you.

8. That drunk man WILL sit next to you and leer at you on the subway. Don't presume differently.
9. Fast food signs are glorious.
10. "Small face" is a compliment "big face" is a put down.
11. There is literally a coffee shop on EVERY CORNER, sometimes 2.
