The Spanish National Lottery

Now that it's been a month and I've settled in, it's time for me to judge this country.

First and foremost, the TV here is pretty weird. A lot of American shows from the 90s are on, which is good because I love that Walker Texas Ranger-Marital Law crossover episode. Also, Buffy the Vampire Slayer is on every day which is great for learning words like tomb, crypt, slay, and stake.

Peanut butter is almost unknown here, which is terrifying.

Racism is prevalent as well, as I saw some pretty racist posters advertizing a bank. It won't do to merely describe it, but I'll just say it included Chinese, Arab, and Black characatures which in the US you would NEVER get away with. But this is good for about half the other student in my school program, who believe that african americans and native americans have a pretty fair deal. What can I say? This group is a pretty accurate cross section of our United States, and what I've learned from them makes me never want to leave california again.

Well, that's all for now. Stay tuned for my next entry regarding the prevalence of drug culture!
