America...¿The end? I don't think so...

American mates and people who speak English!! I said that I would do a special post in English, and this is the special post, obviously, I will post it in Spanish if y'all want to try it. 

First of all, I'm going to start talking about my ideas and thinking about the American culture, later, You will see the result after trip.

I don't want to do it heavy so I will show my ideas in tips, so...here we go, that's what I thought about Americans before came:

• ·         Weapons, WATCH OUT!! don't say anything to anyone, everyone has a 9mm in the car!
• ·         Fast food, Mcdonald’s and hot dogs store in every corner.
• ·         Fancy cars, the poor people, drive an Audi.
• ·         ¿Soccer?l, ¿football?, Our football is with the hands!!.
• ·         Church, A spectacle for the entertainment and fun.
• ·         University, like in the movies!! Cheerleaders, fraternities, incredible sport teams and parties!!
• ·         High School, lockers, cafeteria and teeneagers that they look older.
• ·         Spain = Mexico.
• ·         Sport, an incredible spectacle, stands full and a big support of the sponsors.

There are more but I think that all of this are the most basics ideas that I carried from Spain, maybe, they are very influenced for the movies, series and the news that we had about US.

My second point of this post is a short reflexion about the four weeks, let's go:

On the first days, they gave us a talk in which they explained us that exist a graphic that explain how is the pleasure and enjoying of a long term trip. This graphic has a curve that goes up at the beginning because at the start, everything is funny and new so is exciting for us, then, the curve should go down because you miss your country and the new things get finished, in the end of the trip, the curve goes up like at the beginning because you're adapted to the culture, the language and everything that is around you. All of these things for me they were wrong, my curve start high, but every day it continued raising and going up, the only day that the curve went down was the day that I left US.

A month is not enough time to know a country but well, I have some conclusions very interesants...

Without jet lag, we started the first week, only 3 meals in the day, lunch at 12.30 and dinner at 18.00, it looks like the adaptation will be difficult...but no! It was very easy for me! Is something very different from Spain but that's ok, they have other kind of schedule so they need other kind of life-style. Other thing that is not the same is the hour to go bed, at the same hour that in Spain we are having the dinner, the Americans are going to the bed...In Spain we love the night...

The second and the third week were a couple of weeks of adaptation to the High School, start teaching and continue adapting to Texan life-style, one of the most curious things that happened me was that I started to think and dream in English, I like it...It's very funny. The opportunity of work or continue my studies here is something that is coming up...I can't  discard it...¿ the country of opportunities will give me one? Maybe...El 

To finish, my last week was all full and is something goog because I love to stay busy doing some cool things. The adaptation is completed, and in the best moment, I have to leave to Spain...that's a pity...

The idea of come back is rounding my head and is something that everyday is being bigger...I need to continue working on my future and US could be on it.

To continue with the thread, I will show you my ideas and thinking, after the trip, here they go!:

ü  Weapons, I was lucky, I didn't face any of them!!

ü  Fast food, I was wrong, there is not a Mcdonald's in every corner...they have three!

ü  Fancy carsches , I must say BIG CARS, the spanish cars look ridiculous against the pick up's and the trucks of American people, but those big cars would be a problem in my city for the placement!

ü  ¿Soccer?, SURPRISE!, maybe because we are in the south, there is a lot of fan of the soccer and they now the Spanish league and over all, they know Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo!

ü  Church, confirmed, in America they know how to attract people and there is a big difference about the social actions between Spanish and American church, the Americans are better, we should learn...

ü  University, ¿ Do you know how much cost one year in the university? Aproximately...18.000$, with theses prices I understand why they have everything ''free'' and thoses incredible buildings.

ü  High school, I wasn't wrong, the High Schools are identical to the High Schools in the movies.

ü  Spain = Mexico.  Some people know the difference...other no...

ü  Sport, I didn't go to see the best team in the NBA or NHL, but just going to a match is an incredible experience, the bussiness around the sport are incredible and the stadiums are the best place to do them...the Americans knows how to do it.

I would like to thank everyone who could give me the opportunity of come here and to the people of Texas who has helped me everyday and they have done me feel like other American more, THANKS FOR ALL!!

Especially I want to thank the family Place, Tim Sutton, Coach Scott and all of my new American buddies!! Y'all are great!!!

You are the second best family that anyone can have!!!
