    This might not be exactly the kind of thing you’re asking, but – as an English speaker (and American) – it always surprises me just how universal the word “okay” is.

      That surprises me as well. Also “taxi.” And there are very few languages where the word for “tea” isn’t etymologically related to either “te,” “cha,” or “chai.”

    indiana, usa

    the almost cultish consumption of coca cola. in northern indiana we have a fair amount of “authentic” and “american” mexican restaurants. almost all of them serve coca cola in a glass bottle from mexico. it tastes so much better than the plastic bottle/can american coca cola
