Little things of interest

SO there are some little things that are different and they are kind of amusing.

In the states we have notebooks with lined paper and 3 holes in the sheet. Here, and all over europe, they use graph paper always and their notebooks have 4 holes in them. It is really weird and I have no idea why we use different types of notebooks.

The doors here are so frustrating. If you ever come here you will feel like an idiot cause their doors always open inward so you have to push to enter. It is a small thing but i sometimes run into it and look like a fool.

One of the most interesting things is what I look like. Whenever I speak to Spaniards here they will always ask where I am from. Many many times people think I am from England. My friends say I don´t have an american face and so everyone always thinks i am English. One thing though it is only when I am speaking Spanish obviously. My aunt maureen is the only one in my family of English blood, but not really. It is a good thing, but British people aren´t known to be beauties so maybe it is an insult. Oh well...

They cut the grass really short here so it looks a lot better than our grass. The grass around my school looks like a golf course.

No one is ever eating outside of their house. In the states you always see people drinking or eating things on the go. Here they never do. I always eat my breakfast on the way to class so I stand out.

I will add more when i think of them! I need a nap
