Any one been to Spain or China?

Question

My next door neighbor is having two exchange students coming from Spain and China. I would like to be friends with them, but is there anything I need to know so I won't look like a dork. Traditions? Culture? Language? Spill all, please.

Answer 1

Spanish traditional eat much later then people in the UK starting around 9.30. Normally with bread without butter,water and a glass of wine. No English breakfast,just maybe toast with olive oil, fruit juice and coffee. Spanish young people are normall with it as far as cloths goes, but there sense of humer is very different to UK and in general terms thay are nice people.

Answer 2

China? Sorry, no idea. I'm half English and half Spanish, and I've got friends in both countries. I would say that it's true, Spanish and English have different humor, but generally Spaniards like English humor and I hope the other way round too. Spaniards are usually better dressed (sorry, but even my mum agrees) but I think that's it. Yes, we have lunch at 2-3 PM and dinner at 9:30/10 PM, and not much for breakfast (I don't even have one, although I know I should). As a result, we usually go to bed later, like 12 or 12:30 PM. And night partying starts at 2:00 am and finishes at 6/7 am. But not as many cultural differences as you would have thought. Maybe Spaniards drink less alcohol, they don't get drunk as often as English. The usually shout more and touch each other a lot, even men. We say hi and goodbye with a kiss on each cheek.And no, most people don't enjoy bull fighting, especially young ones. So please avoid the subject, because people can get really irritated when foreigners assume we all like flamenco and bulls. Oh! And most, especially men, love football.
