Here in Dourados you just have to get used to the fact that…
…on Sunday mornings at around 5:30am the first politician-car (a small Fiat with a huge speaker box on top from which the politicians slogan is echoed all day long in an enormous volume) drives around the streets with the volume maxed out!
…our telephone only works whenever we don’t need it!
…we can’t throw toilet paper in the toilet and to flush the toilet you have to 
push the cord dangling above your head!
…at the slightest sight of rain everything, everything is cancelled (school is no exception of this rule)
…you have to share your home with numerous unwanted roommates (ants, spiders, geckos…)
…horses and coaches are very common road users.
…bikers don’t have to stop at a red light!!!
…our fans only work if you give one a good starting push and if you plug in the other one in an exact 90 degrees angle.
…Mail boxes and doorbells don’t exist. If you pretend to enter a house you just clap your hands!
…to be continued!
