Lista de Hechos 2

So after Ian's giant monologue I figured I should come in a type something even LONGER. That probably won't happen because everyone has said the basics. What else can I tell you? Briannah and I were in a make-up store and Briannahhad the most miserable attempt at conversing with her that the woman laughed so hard she had to get a napkin to wipe up her tears haha. Oh in Spanish they type haha as jaja. heehee how funny, jajaja. Also I have been teaching pronounciation classes to certain people. You know how often times we ditch the 't' when we say mountain quickly? I tried to teach a bunch of people how to pronounce it and I swear to God it is the funniest thing you have ever heard. They cannot say moun'ain. It sounds like Moww-UUH. It's incredible.
Okay lista de mas hechos:
1) Boys wear scarves just as much as girls do here 2) If boys are not wearing scarves they are most likely wearing the ski neck warmers. (I can't remember English words when I am in Spanish mode so I can't recall any name for those) 3) The teachers people like are called by first name, disliked teachers are called by their last name 4) On weekends everyone goes to sleep at 1 and then wake up and have breakfast at 11! 5) Soda is significantly more expensive then alcohol, and water bottles are TINY 6) There are no street lights except the streetlights for pedestrians. At crossroads they have roundabouts which are meant for 2 cars but turns out they can hold about 5 across in rush hour. 7) Parallel parking in Spain is different insane! They make use of bumpers. There is often literally 6 inches of space inbetween cars. I thought 'Wow! They must make amazing 16-point turns here!' No it's actually done like so: Turn wheel, back up until you hit someone's bumper. Turn whell, move forward until you hit someone's bumper. Turn wheel, move backwards until you roll onto the sidewalk. Turn wheel and gun it because you need to make your own space in traffic here.

  1. Sorry about my grammar and such. My English is suffering here.
