Spain trip!

Hi! I just flew to Spain two days ago and am currently with my host family. The trip was long but I love plane flights where I just sit and watch movies. The food was fine although they had some type of squid salad that made me feel a little weird. Now having my first impression of southern Spain, here are some aspects I have observed.

1. They go to bed late and wake up late. To put it in perspective, they stay up until 2, and them wake up around 11-12:30.

2. With the time a bit diferent, so are the meals. Breakfast is at around 12 in the afternoon, lunch is around 3, and dinner is at around 10:30.

3. They don't have air conditioning. Instead they have a lot of open windows and areas so as to give air flow. But no air conditioning.

4. In the area where I am it is 90% there to being a complete desert, which means fake grass, because real grass is too hard to grow.

5. They are more relaxed about clothing, especially on beaches.

6. The common thing to do when saying hello and goodbye is to give one air kiss on one cheek and then one on the other, and this applies to everyone including strangers you may have just been introduced to 5 seconds ago. (Personal experience) Here's a picture if my explanation didn't make a lot of sense.
