No pictures today because I literally did not leave the apartment. The day of rest is taken very seriously here. Everything is closed, except the cafés, but how long can you hang out in a café really? So instead I spent the day trying to figure out what classes to take, and watching voiced over american movies with my Señora. But here are some things I've learned since I've been here
1. You must wear slippers in the house, if you don't, its considered rude
2. They are weird about feet here, (hence the slippers) you cannot rest your feet on anything but the floor
3. If you do not say hello and goodbye everytime you enter or leave the house, it is rude
4. They don't snack. ever.
5. Everyone smokes, no one eats, and no one exercises, and they are all thin. This is a problem because I dont smoke, I love to eat, and I dont like excessive exercise.
6. There is no such thing as "beating around the bush" everyone is extremely blunt.
7. Wearing tennis shoes, or a north face jacket is a dead giveaway that you are American.
Picture of the day: since I dont have any pictures from this actual day, here is the view from my bedroom. Yes those are orange trees.
