Random differences between ARG and the USA

So some differences between the USA and Argentina that I have noticed thus far:

-Greetings: girls greet guys and other girls with a kiss on each cheek. Guys typically greet guys with a hand shake. It is important to kiss/shake hands with everybody upon arrival to and departure from anywhere.

-The ice cream is served in cones, but with spoons, which works well for me seeing as I am incapable of eating from a cone. It's also ridiculously inexpensive.

-The napkins at restaurants are more like wax paper, not paper, so they don't work as well.

-Facebook is used even more here than in the US, as hard to imagine as that may be.

-CocaCola (aka Coca) is very common, and most ice cream stores, hardware stores, you name it, have a refrigerator. It is the typical beverage of lunch and dinner.

-Instead of knocking on doors, some people clap their hands outside.

-Going barefoot indoors is strange. Shoes are more appropriate.

-Very few people have phone plans. It is common to just charge credit onto your phone every few weeks.

-The SIESTA! Between 2 and 6pm, many people take a siesta, a nap for a few hours. I take a siesta on Saturday and Sunday usually. It's the way the people here manage with going to sleep at midnight or one in the morning on weekdays. Also, between about 3 and 5, the city is a ghost town. Almost all the shops besides supermarkets close down. Which is kind of annoying because that is the time slot that I am always home looking for something to do.

-There is no peanut butter.

-There is no school transportation. Students walk, bike, get rides from their parents, or take city buses. The student rate is $1.25 pesos, or about 25 cents.

-In school, all the students stay in the same classroom and the teachers change rooms. Students cannot elect their classes (although they can elect tracks, for example natural sciences, humanities... in my school, things like construction, electricity, etc.)

-Students do not eat lunch in school. They either have morning classes, from around 8-12, afternoon classes, 10-2, or night classes, 6-10. Or in my case, 11-2 afternoon classes.

-The moon here is sideways. It looks like a smiley face.


And that's just the beginning. More to come.
