Some observations

During my one week (not even) I have noticed some interesting things that are different in Spain from the United States.

1. As I mentioned earlier, the dress is very different. Women usually wear jeans or a dress every day. Shorts are not very common for the women. Also, a lot of women will wear heels everywhere.
2. PDA is not a problem here. Many times there are couples making out in the Metro. No one thinks twice about it. 
3. Students are much more respectful of their professors in class. We aren't supposed to eat, drink or talk during class (probably good rules anyway). 
4. My host mom has taught me a lot about food customs here. She says that it is bad to eat only 3 meals a day. If you wait too long then you will be ravenous and eat too quickly. Instead, she recommends eating a small meal in between breakfast and lunch and between lunch and dinner. 
5. The other thing I learned is that there is a perception that air conditioning is bad for your health. 
6. There are dogs everywhere! People like to take their dogs for walks, without leashes! Fortunately most of the dogs are friendly and well-behaved 

 Well, those are my thoughts for this morning. I don't have many plans today since I don't have class. Later we are going to have dinner with some other students from the University so we can practice our Spanish and they can practice their english.
