Just a note about Spain.
So we’ve been talking in one of my classes about what Spaniards are like. Two major things we talked about were about their sense of space and how they go about conversations. Apparently Spaniards are very intimate. They like to be really engaging and really close to you when the talk. Of course this description immediately brought my mind to a certain clip from Christmas Vacation (the clip I’m talking about goes from about 0:50 to 1:10). Next, we talked about how it’s part of everyday conversation for Spaniards to interrupt each other when they talk. There’s no rudeness about it, it’s just part of everyday conversation. To see what my mind wondered to when my teacher told me this, check out this clip from Sooper Troopers (this clip is 1:55 to 2:05). So as you now see, talking to a Spaniard is a constant combination of these two clips… because of this, I can’t help but laugh every time I engage in a conversation.
