Tidbits:

(For Pierce)

>Spaniards do not eat peanut butter (you have to pay 4 euros at El Corte Ingles for it, as Kelsey discovered)

>Pillow cases are abnormally long, with openings at both sides

>Kissing on the cheek is VERY prevalent (which is something I find very awkward)

>Hijo de puta (son of a whore) is a strong insult, but puta madre (whore motherish) means great or fantastic

>There are no late night places to eat or order from, unless you go to McDonald's (which is surprising because they really do go out until dawn)

I think the most surprising thing are the pillowcases. Is there a reason they open from both ends? Is it easier to put your pillow inside? Is this standard across Europe? I would investigate this anomaly further...

Haha, I will have to take a picture of it so you can get a visual. Also, I will make sure to check about the pillow situation when traveling around europe!
