I've been trying for the last two months to work this into a bigger piece, but it's not going anywhere. It's just a tidbit.
Listen to this sentence and tell me what floor our apartment is on:
We have to walk up a flight of stairs to get to our apartment.
If you said "second floor" you'd be ... wrong.
They call it the "first floor".
In Dubai the street level is the "Ground Floor" and the next level up from that is the "First Floor". So elevators have a "G" button as well as a "1" button. I'll have to get a photo of that. It's odd.
