Conversions

So everyone should know, if you ever travel from America to Europe your life will be a constant conversion. Why America doesn't learn in kg, meters, liters, and Celsius is beyond me. So thus far, I have felt more like a chemistry major, having to convert everything, rather than a marketing major. Below are some helpful hints for conversions...

1 kg=2.2lbs. This is for when you get on the scale and see 60kg and are like...what does that mean. Or for when the plane says you can have 22 kg only..So for us..48lbs!

1 meter = 3.28 ft. This is when someone gives you walking directions and says..yea its only 500 meters away..and you have to turn around and say can you please speak english to me..bc i have no idea what that means..(that was me my first day)

1 liter = 4 cups. Helpful for those attempting to cook. The instructions are in a different language too, so that could be hard, but I cannot attempt to explain those. It took several epic failures of rice for me to get this one straight.

Celsius to Fahrenheit. The round about conversion for this is take the celsius X 2 + around 30ish. I figured out this one really fast when I went into a sauna that was 55 celsius. No wander I was so hott. Sitting in 140 degress F, is not really my cup of tea.
