1. Do not eat food around stray dogs. They may or may not attack you.
2. Avoid the swingset area on the playground. You will get trapped into pushing the kindergarteners all recess. You will continuously hear "empujame, empujame!" (push me push me!) and "al cielo!" (to the sky!)
3. It is okay to drink milk that has been siting on a shelf for several months..... as long as it is Pinto brand.
4. If you have trash and you dont know what to do with it, just throw it on the side of the road. Or in someone elses truck. Or wherever you want, really.
5. Dont be surprised if you fall in love with the people here.
6. Pollo Campero is everyones favorite restaurant!
7. When walking down the street, dont be alarmed when everyone honks at you just to say hello. This is normal. Especially for gringas like us.
8. When you dont know the word in spanish, expect an embarrassing moment if you continue to try to guess random words.
9. If you own the game "Jenga", you will suddenly be the neigborhood hotspot for 4 year olds.
10. When people whistle at you on the streets, whistle back. It makes life more fun.
11. Try not to breathe when possible. Emission testing does not exist here.
12. Always have your camera on you. You see the craziest things here.
Hilarious! I forgot to tell you to bring glow stick bracelets. That would have made you the hit with the 5 and 6 years olds as well!
