Thanks everyone.
I learned some new things from their customary ways. Like when you are meeting a family member or someone you know well and like as you shake hands you put your side of your face onto theirs and then the other side and make a kiss sound without kissing them. That may sound odd to some here but that's how they greet each other.
Also, When you eat, the fork in your left hand and the knife in the other. Never let go of either one unless necessary to grab something. Breakfast is mandatory and naps are taken whenever possible everyday. Laundry is always hung out to dry. They don't use dryers there that I saw.
Driving there is a trip. Everybody is zooming around thru intersections and streets fast and it actually appears they really know how to drive without being idiots to each other. We drove all over and we didn't have but one or two idiot sightings as we drove in the city.
