Just a couple interesting things to note about Spain:

- It’s really hard to tell how old Spaniards are. Seriously. Doesn’t matter if they’re in their teens or in their 80s, it’s impossible to guess.

- They talk about food ALL the time. Now that my Spanish is better I can eavesdrop, and that’s the most popular topic of discussion.

- I know I’ve said it before, but mullets are really “in” here.

- I wish I loved anything as much as they love soccer. But actually.

- Spain loves to recycle and conserve. Everywhere there’s a trash can there are two separate bins for recycling. They take military showers so as to not use too much water. They shut off the lights whenever they leave a room.

- Oddly enough, Spain also loves bottled water. I don’t get it.

- Spaniards use Mopeds or Motorcycles just as much, if not more, than cars. What’s awesome about this is that very well dressed businessmen and women ride to work in their heels, their dress shoes, their nice suits, you name it. I aspire to that level of suaveness.

This is an OK representation, but here the woman drive. Sometimes the men are even on the back, and that's the most exciting.

- Yesterday at the gym I saw a man wearing baggy sweatpants that only went down to his mid calf and a skin-tight striped tank top. Unfortunately I looked for a similar picture on the internet just now, but couldn’t find one. I'm sure it exists, though.
