Cultural Differences Observed in Spain

I've been in Spain for about a month now, and here's a list of

a few more things that I think would drive Americans insane.

The main form of communication here is WhatsApp.

Like, iMessage isn't a thing. I don't know why.

You're using WhatsApp. iMessage, no.

There's no water bottles anywhere.

Americans are always carrying around water bottles, staying hydrated.

You don't see Spanish people drink water anywhere.

Spanish people just don't drink water.

They drink wine and beer at every meal, a- and you don't get

served water. Like, you have to ask for it. I don't know

if that's normal.

You are gonna get cigarette smoke in your face at all times.

Everyone smokes cigs here. You drive by a school,

and there's children

smoking cigarettes at recess. Beer and wine every

single hour of the day. You wake up for breakfast,

you're at the restaurant,

everyone's drinking with their bagel.

I would say the spatial awareness could improve.

If you're walking in the street, especially in the city,

nobody moves for you.

You're just gonna collide. They don't move out of your way.

You have to be dodging everyone. They're not moving for you.

With that, slow-mo. Like, Spanish people are not in a

rush to get anywhere. I don't know if this is in all of Europe, but

no rush. I'm like, "Do you not have somewhere to be because

excuse me."
