This are Sammy's Top 6 very surprising observations about the USA
6. I must be really sick, because the TV keeps telling me to buy drugs at every commercial break. Then they tell me I might die or have a mild heart attack if I take them.
5. Potholes are not that unique to Kenya.
4. The urinals actually flush, sometimes automatically!
(Now you can see why I like Sammy so much. Not many people can work the word urinals into their prayer letter.)
3. It is called fall when the trees die.
2. The San Jose Public Library has the BEST customer service in the world! And it's free!!
1. American English isn't that difficult. Just replace the "T" in a word with the letter "D": wader, bedder, ledder, thirdy, or fourdy. Or for the more laid back, just remove the "T" althogether! Moun'ain, foun'ian, or coun'.
I've also learned the hidden secret to good sermon in America: Sports Illustrations are very important!
But for me (Marshall) the best thing that I learned from his letter is that in Swahili, jamba means " to blow gas from your rear end."
So needless to say he was a little thrown why he would what a Jamba Juice.
Awesome!

Per number 1, I actually taught the vocational school students to use the D instead of the T in the words, thirty, fourty, fifty, ect. It helps to make it sound different than thirteen, fourteen, fifteen. I invented that teaching technique I think.
