7th Entry

After two weeks here, I am going to talk about the general differences I have noticed between both countries. First of all, I have realized that most people live in townhouses in villages with several pets. Inside the houses, there are two bathrooms—one with a shower and another with a toilet, but they are not in the same place. Regarding daily life, since everyone lives in different towns, people don’t usually meet up during the week or even on weekends. Another surprising thing was how birthdays are celebrated. Here, birthdays are like parties that take place at the birthday person's house, where all the guests stay overnight. Lastly, something that surprised me was that when you enter a store with a backpack, they either make you leave it at the entrance or secure it with a zip tie so you can't open it.
