Quick Blurb, Then Back to Finals


My Visa came, according to my sister, which means I no longer run the risk of being an illegal immigrant in Spain, and means that I have to come home after 6months for sure...double edged sword I must say. I have yet to see it so I'll let you know what the cool shiny sticker looks like! Sorry I can't update anything else, too many things to memorize and study. So I'll leave you with some cool unique facts about Spain:
  • Spaniards stand close and frequently touch one another on the arm while conversing...guess my personal bubble will be popped
  • Accepting a second serving is one of the best ways to show appreciation to the cook...this may be a problem...for my jeans
  • Teenagers usually begin dating in groups around age 14 and as couples at age 18...for my high school readers, some motivation...
  • Rather than call on a girl at her home, a boy often meets a girl at a prearranged site...avoid the parents? another pointer for the youngsters ;)
  • It is slightly more than twice the size of Oregon...this one I had to put up for Bex, and her odd obsession with Oregon
  • Christopher Columbus set sail from Spain in order to find the New World...that's when he came and found us (pun intended)
  • Madrid is Spain’s capital city and it is located directly in the center of the country...bullseye!
  • The tooth fairy is not recognized in Spain. Instead, they have a tooth mouse named Ratoncito Perez!...the idea of a mouse scurrying under my pillow at night is very disturbing
