What I´ve learned so far in Bilbao, Spain:

  1. Don´t make eye contact with guys.  You may be committing to something more than ¨hello¨.
  2. There are no 24 hour drive-thrus.
  3. 2 P.M.-4 P.M. is siesta time.  Almost everything is closed.
  4. I appreciate dryers and fabric softener so much more.
  5. If you go to the movie theaters, they will not have butter for your popcorn :(
  6. They have cuter clothes here.
  7. Stretching and yawning is not acceptable in class.
  8. Tortillas de patatas and Napolitanas (croissants with chocolate) are really addicting.
  9. I love learning about the Spanish language and culture.
  10. Learning Spanish is making me loose all of my English spelling skills.
  11. PB & J is considered a dessert.
  12. It rains….a lot.
  13. Soccer is serious business.
  14. Coca-cola light is not the same as Diet Coke.
  15. Walking is an everyday occurance.
  16. Coming in at 8 A.M. on the weekends is the norm.
