And dem dey sell dia beer from special tap. Dem go serve you de beer for draft (dis na regular glass cup) or pitcher (dis na big glass jug wey you fit share if una dey for group). But dem still dey sell beer for bottle.
And den oda differences, na say dem must close around certain time. No mata how many people still wan drink you must close. In fact ee get de way dem go don program dem cash register, de tin go stop to work when closing time reach. And so when dat time don dey reach, like 30 mins to de time, de bar tender go begin shout 'last call'. Dat one mean say if you still wan buy drinks, make you hurry buy before dem close.

If I give classwork, I need to give dem less quesions and extra time to finish. I get to read de quesions to dem sometimes.

If you wan travel go any big city, wetin you need na to join connecting flight from de airport for de small towns.

DUMPSTER
De way wey govment for hia dey keep de towns clean, go make pessin appreciate say govment dey really do dem work. For every town, no mata how small wey dat town be, dem get sanitation department wey dey make sure say dutty no dey pile up for any area for de town. Dem work na to go round to collect dutty from every house and office and den go troway am for one central dump ground.
For de apartment wey dey live, we get dis big dustbin wey dem dey call dumpster. And den every thursday, de sanitation office for the county wey I dey live, go use dia lorry to come offload de dumpster. Every single thursday, dem must come. No delay or any excuse. And na so dem go go from house to house to go collect people dutty.
If you dey live for wetin dem dey call house for hia, dem go give you special govment dustbin for you to put all ya dutty. And when dem come with dia lorry, you must put ya dustbin for near de road for dem to see. And you no need to worry, beacause say dem must come to offload ya dustbin every week.

MAKE WE CHEW TOBACCO
For naija, people dey smoke tobacco or put am for dem nose. Dat na wetin I see and na de only two ways wey I know say you fit put tobacco for ya body. But when I come yankee, I come discover say ee get anoda way wey you fit put tobacco for ya body. You fit put am for ya mouth and come begin suck am like sweet.
When I discover dis one, ee really shock me. And de way wey I take find out really turn my belle. I dey for library one day, and I notice say one guy wey sidon opposite me been dey pour spit inside pure wata bottle. I also come notice as him mouth swell up for one side. Na dia wey him put de tobacco. De guy no even try to hide de bottle wey don by dis time almost reach half with him brown spit.
Any time I raise my head and my eye jam de bottle, ee just dey like say I wan vomit. Na so de tin go dey draw like okro. Den I later come ask my study partner wetin dat guy dey spit inside dat bottle. Him come begin explain to me say na tobacco wey de guy dey spit inside de bottle.
De tobacco dey dey for one iron container wey resemble shoe polish container. You go put de tobacco for de corner of ya mouth or under ya teeth. Den you go come begin suck am small small. Some dey swallow de tobacco or spit am out. If you finish to suck out de juice from de tobacco for ya mouth, you go spit am and den put de next one for de same place or for anoda corner of ya mouth.
Dis kind way to use tobacco dey very popular with onyibo people wey dem dey call country folks or rednecks. Na mostly de men dem wey dey suck tobacco, but some women dey use am too. You go sabi pessin wey dey suck tobacco from de way wey him go dey spit constantly. And de spit dey always dey green or dark brown. And if you look dem teeth, na so ee dey get multicolor.
If you go any gas station, you go see de tobacco for containers wey dey exactly like de original snuff container. I been no know say na wetin ee be until I see as dat guy for library bring out de container from him pocket.
And I hia say to use tobacco like dat be one of de main cause of mouth cancer and throat cancer. And I sure say de taste go dey very bad. But as dem dey talk am, everybody get im own poison wey im like. And I sure say I don tell una my own poison before. Well if you no know or you don forget, my own na beer.

HILLBILLIES and REDNECKS
If you tink say for yankee, dem no get dem own village people, den you need to tink am again. For hia, dem get two special group of people wey dem dey call hillbillies and rednecks. Dis na de onyibo village people for yankee. Most people dey see dem like dos wey no get too much sense or as people wey no allow modern life to come dem community.
Hillbillies dey live for eastern part of yankee, from around Mississippi to New York. Dem dey call dis area Appalachia. De area get plenty mountains and dis na how dem get de attachement 'hill' for dem name hillbilly. Hillbillies dey mostly live on top or around dis mountains.
Dem dey depend on de area for everytin. Dem dey hunt, fish and use de wood around de area to build house. Dem no wan get anytin to do with modern life. And dia community na for only dem dem. No outsider dey welcome to come stay for de area. And so de popular suspicion na say dem dey marry dem own blood.
PIN MONEY FOR YA DRESS
I remember one day wey I see one of my fellow worker pin money for her dress. I come ask her why she do am, den she tell me say na her baiday. "Ok, na ya baiday, but why you come pin money for ya dress?" Den she come tell me say na money wey people give her for office wey she pin for her dress.
I don notice say for work place, if na ya baiday people go give you money so dat you go pin am for ya dress. Dis one go make any oda pessin wey see am to know say na ya baiday and dem go donate for you too. I don see as some people go pin money until ee go reach dia knee.
De main reason for dis pining money tin na for dos wey no get time to buy gift or card for you to still do sometin to show say dem dey wish you happy baiday. One of my female coworker ask me to donate money for her baiday one time like dat. And for you to donate, you get to pin de money by ya sef.
You need to see me as I dey struggle with de pin and also dey try to make sure say I no "inappropriately" touch her blom-blom. I no lie you, de tin big sha and my eye take style dey look anoda tin as I dey pin my $5 for her dress. For hia sexual harassment na very easy tin for pessin to put for ya head. So most guys wey no get liver go just give de woman de money to pin by her sef. But as most tins for hia get double standard, de women no dey feel any shame when dem dey pin de money for men shirt (aftarall no be wetin we like?).

For hia, pessin weight na very serious mata, especially for women dem. Na so everybody dey check dem weight, so dat dem fit know weda dem don gain or lose weight. And dem dey measure am for pounds (we ma dey use kilograms). When some women just gain sometin like 5 pounds, ee go be like say world don end for dem. Na so dem go dey try everytin to lose de weight. And de sharp business men don sabi dis one. Na so dem go dey full TV with different advert of how to lose weight.

ADOPTION- how to turn anoda pessin pikin to ya own
I wan make you imagine de kind tins wey been dey go on for my mind when one of my co-workers introduce him pikin to me. My co-worker na white woman, and her pikin na black boy. Initially I been tink say I no hia detin wey she tell me. I been tink say my ear dey deceive me. Ee take me some time to process wetin just happen. Why de tin surprise well well, I no really know!!
Well, may be na sake of say dat time, I still dey new to yankee and I neva too dey familiar with dem culture of adoption. Na later I come find out say de tin dey very common for hia. Some couples fit decide to no born pikin of dem own, and dem go go adopt. Now color no dey too mata when people dey adopt.
Plenty times I don meet family where plus de ones wey dem born, dem go adopt one or two more pikin. And dem go talk about am like say na normal tin. Sometimes when husband and wife don train de pikin wey dem born, and de house don empty, dem go adopt oda small pikin. I remember my professor wey supervise my project..., him show me photo of him pikin dem. Only three out of de eight pikin wey him show me be de ones wey him and him wife born!

BASEMENT
Ee neva too tey wey tornado visit two small towns for Illinois state- Rochelle and Fairdale. No be small tin oo! De tin level the place. All de houses for de two towns disappear, and na so property scatter everywhere. For hia, dem dey like build house with wood and plastic sheets, and when any of de big breeze come, na so ee go knack dia house fall like paper.
But de good tin be say na only one pessin die and some wey get wound for dis tornado. Normally dis kind tornado dey kill plenty people. De tin wey dey save some na say dem house get hole for ground wey dem dey call basement. Once dat strong wind don begin come, na so all man go rush go under ground to go hide. If you no get basement ,you go enter ya bathtub and cover ya sef well well.
