Things they don´t have here

1) Central heating
2) Water heaters (Seriously. We have warm water, but it´s heated by a crazy contraption run on gas)
3) Toasters (Instead, they also use a crazy contraption, but this one it a tin thing that you put on the stove, and then put your bread on top)
4) Garbage cans to go outside of your house (Instead, people pile the garbage out on the street, or hang the sacks off of their iron fence posts, or in raised iron baskets on the sidewalk at night)
5) Brewed coffee
6) Rules or laws about parking (people regularly park on the sidewalk)
7) Dishwashers
8) Peanut butter. They have it, but it's pretty expensive and no one ever eats.
9) Cornbread
