Wel...Pretty much everything closes at 6 in Vermont. Well, at least in my town (which is actually one of the bigger ones). All the shops on Main Street close at 6ish, and the only places still open are either the bigger restaurants, chain restaurants/stores, and gas stations. And fast food. That's about it. The only thing to do on a Friday night is go to the tiny movie theater, bowling, or walk around our tiny walmart. The nearest mall is 45 minutes. And the better malls are an hour away in other states.<br /><br />It was worse when we went to Ireland, and that was before we moved here, so at least we had some practice. Anyway, just be glad that when you return home, you can go shopping at whatever late time you please!<br /><br />Anyways, that clock thing is something that would totally happen to me.

Or that places close at 6 on Sundays because I don't see a reason for that and I'm not religious.<br />But when my fiance is here and he seems amused by the fact that America is that way, I seem to like it a little more.
