Different Mindset

Funny Story. The other night I went to my boss's house for her son's first birthday. It was a pretty relaxed gathering, with macaroni and cheese and hot dogs being the food served. They happened to be served on disposable plastic plates. After everyone finished eating, we all took our plates to the kitchen where the maids were waiting. Assuming they were going to be throw away, we left. This was a simple assumption, as it would be really unusual to do otherwise. However, as you might be guessing by now, the maids decided to wash the plastic plates and put them on the drying rack. Although we all thought this was pretty humorous, it goes to show the just completely different mindset that Nicas have. Makes sense considering they're the second-poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. In general, funny experience, but humbling nonetheless.
