Brushing Teeth and Smelling Papers

...Just some random observations I enjoy noting.

Teeth brushing is a cultural phenomenon.  People brush their teeth after every meal and even snacks.  Everyone has a toothbrush in their purse or bag and bathrooms that charge to enter even sometimes have a cheaper price listed for teach brushing usage.  The schools have big outside sinks (kind of like water troughs) for teeth brushing.  Students and teachers gather around after breakfast and lunch to brush their teeth.  This amuses me. 

I don't know if this is Tico thing or just a coincidence, but I have also met several people who smell things that I had never thought of smelling.  One of my friends smelled my students' journals.  After, I tried it.  They actually each had different smells.  One of my students smelled the exam when I passed it out.  Now, that, I just don't understand.
