This trip was more of a cultural shock for me. Last time I stayed with the family, it was every weekend for a few days. Constantly meeting at malls, and going to do different things.
This trip I was truly living there for a longer period of time. Some things that were difficult for me to adjust to were the following:
They are always late! If I said we have to be somewhere at a certain time because I made plans, we were always 45-1&1/2 late. No apologies, and no worries.
They stay up super late.
Ham and cheese sandwiches for breakfast...why though?
Not a lot of personal space.
The lack of drinking water, I found that I was constantly dehydrated.
The music is played so loud, and coming from me that means REALLY loud.
Things I will miss:
Family time dancing in the living room just because
Fresh juice every morning
Teaching English to my niece
