Spanish observations/facts

1. The wedding ring is worn on the right hand index finger. If a ring is on the left hand index finger this signifies dating. 
2. Cars are very good at stopping for people crossed the street
3. Spanish people don't stop walking or even look twice before crossing the street, soooo the car better stop. 
4. The everyday clothing here is formal. And it is rare if you see a spanish women without heels on! 
5. You walk everywhere 
6. The country "shuts down" for 3-4 hours everyday. Siesta! This happens between 1 and 6 give or take. 
7. Spanish people go grocery shopping everyday. Only buy what they need for the day. 
8. Sundays are for church and relaxing..... NOTHING is open. 
9. If the bar or restaurant is SUPER clean, DONT GO IN. The food is not good,. If they have time to make it that clean, they are not servIng very many people!! 
10. If a store doesn't have something they will always tell you they will have it "mañana", when really it will take weeks before it comes in. 
11. You have to always wear shoes in the house because if you don't, you WILL get sick. And no socks are not good enough. 
12. There is bread at every meal. And a new loaf of bread is delivered to my house ever morning. 
13. The garbage here is very orginized, and every classification has its own bin and the bin will have a specific color to corispond to the classification. 
14. If you see someone walking fast, automatically you know they are not a Spaniard. 
15. It is totally normal for a HUGE book fair to come and stay set up in the middle of an outside plaza for 2 1/2 weeks. 
16. They take their dogs everywhere, and yes they are allowed in almost every store or restaurant here. I was in a clothing store with a dog right next to me.
17. The fountains here usually only spit out water at night. 


More to come, as I see or learn about them.
