Five weeks in America -- from a Spaniard's point of view



What have I learned staying in America????

HI I'M PATRICIO DLM.

SPAIN:Here in America the difference between Spain and America is that in USA, there's lots of cool stuff.

DIFFERENCES:

1; The drive-through, you can do lots of stuff much quicker with the drive-through.

2; The time, first of all, there are 6 hours of difference and in the EEUU, you Americans wake up at 8 or  9. We spanish people wake up at 11 or 12. Then you go to bed at 11 and we go to bed at 2am and that's the reason.                                                                                                                                                


3; The technology: you Americans are really advanced in tech, instead we Spanish have or use the stuff that you were using one year ago.


4; The food: the food that you eat every time is chicken. We Spanish, we eat lots of different kinds of food.



Favorite things:


--Adventure Island and theme parks, camps, and most of the people I met were really nice.


Why would I come back?


--Chick-Fil-A, things are cheaper, to see the friends I made, and Luciano & Giovanni


Why should Americans visit Spain?


--To stop being fat.  Not going thru drive thru, not being lazy, professional soccer, learn Spanish language, at the beach we can go out as far as we want bc there are no sharks, there are different terrains and buildings on top of hills.


¡Adios!
