Not much going on, so lets talk about a normal day

So I'm just hanging out at the school right now, and I think later I'm going to walk around and try yo figure out how to get out of the city and set up some epic rides for this weekend. I just met the only other American student at the school, which is cool. Though there certainly are some cool aspects of being in the minority because we talk about culture in the classes and so I'm learning not only spanish but also different aspects of culture around the world.

Since I don't have any events of interest to talk about I think I'll talk a little about the differences between life here and life back in VT. Though some changes I think can be related to moving from a small town to a "big" city. The major difference is the time of day that we eat and also what we eat. Usually I have some cereal early in the morning and then head off to school. Here breakfast is really just sweets. I've been eating hot chocolate with cocoa puffs in it, an interesting combination, along with a variety of other cookies for breakfast. Unfortunatly I have yet to sample some fine spanish coffee. Anyway, I then go to class from 9am-1pm and return home or hang out at the school. I eat lunch around 2 or 2:30. It is the biggest meal of the day usually consisting of multiple courses. For example today I ate a potato and chicked soup followed by a fish fillet and then a yogurt for desert. Then I have the afternoon and evening to do whatever I want. So far this has meant homework and sleeping, as well as my bike ride the other day. Dinner is between 9 or 10. After dinner I can hang out in the house or leave again to do whatever.

So thats a normal day so far. As to the difference between culture and customs I havn't noticed anything to ground breaking. Though they do seem a little more "touchy feely" than we usually are in the States, and also tend to lean in really close when your talking. They also stare much more than we do, and it is not considred inpolite, though it can make me feel uncomfortable at times. Hope this has been interesting, I'll keep posting any other differences I notice. Iḿ still trying to figure out how I can post pictures, but I need to find a computer where I'm allowed to upload pics, which is a surprisingly difficult task, and not one I anticipated. Anyway, hope all is well is the states and that Obama continues to roll. Thats all for now, time to go scout out where to ride, bye.
