New Things!


Things I have noticed during my first few days:


  • almost all people drive VW cars
  • Every time you meet someone you must kiss them on the cheek. For example, if people are sitting around a table and you enter the room everyone gets up and kisses you on the cheek. Then when someone else enters, the process starts all over again.
  • Tea is always served around 5 p.m. usually (with pastries, toast, etc) because dinner isn't usually until 9 or 10 p.m.
  • You can NEVER have milk with dinner. Always water or juice. Milk is for breakfast only.
  • Driving the speed limit? Not likely. If the speed limit is 60 km/h they're probably driving 120 or 140. 
  • Dulce de leche is the peanut butter of the US and the maple syrup of VT
  • I have been asked if it is true that Americans hate Mexicans and Canadians
  • The kitchen is the most important room in the house
That's all I can think of for now but when I notice/remember more I'll post it! 

Chau, un beso!
