Just a few things to know when you come to Spain

The door knobs are in the middle of the doors.

You realize that communication has a lot less to do with actual oral sounds and a written language than it does with body language.

WEAR YOUR HOUSE SLIPPERS!

Learn the metro, bus, and train stations before you use them.

Get a map.

Elevators are TINY! Three to four people MAX...and that still means sniffing the armpit. They also stop really harshly. You get that weird sensation in your stomach as it lands on your floor.

The colloquial phrase for armpit is "El lugar de mala muerte" which translates to "The place of the worst death."

When you walk outside, just hope you are doing so just as the frutería next door is getting their supplies for the day. :) What a sweet smell to rush by you.
