1) Do most, few, or no restaurants in your country have free soft drink refills? How about free water?
2) Are toilets in your country generally of the Western-style "sitting" design or the "Turkish" or "squat" design?
3) Do multiple-family dwellings (such as apartment buildings) often have multiple satellite dishes on the top? Would this be unusual: http://www.flickr.com/photos/rbean/516138765/ ?

1) In the U.S., the vast majority of restaurants in the U.S. will refill your soft drink for free. For $1.50 or $2.00 or whatever they charge, you can have as much "pop" as you'd like. Also, water is usually free in U.S. restaurants and comes from the tap (grifo). I've heard they don't do this in Europe. Why not? I figure a restaurant brave enough to try it might end up recouping the cost of the soft drinks (which is minimal) in added business.
2) Virtually ALL toilets here, except urinals in public men's bathrooms, are of the standard Western design.
3) No, as far as I know, individual satellite dishes are not usually allowed in large apartment complexes, and those that provide satellite TV usually have a master dish feeding all units in the building.
