A culture shock I wasn't prepared for:
We were talking at dinner about going to Sitges. At dinner we speak in Spanish porque Maria no habla ingles. Maria, an old catholic woman, said there were a lot of gay people at the beach to which my idiotic response was "me gusta!" Maria goes "Siiiiiii????? Queeeeee?????" Now I don't know much Spanish so I'm trying to explain and Maria is going on and on "no me gusta los homosexuales" "Man and woman have babies" blah, blah, blah. And now she thinks I'm a lesbian but I have no idea how to explain myself so I keep trying to say that certain guys on TV are "guapo" (hot/attractive) and stuff. I don't know what she thinks. I am so dumb. My roommate tried to help me out but I'm unsure of what Maria thinks of me at this point. It's pretty funny in retrospect.
Maria is the most dramatic person I have ever met. Yesterday Lauren and I went to Sitges and we told Maria and she said "you are going to miss dinner." We said no we'll definitely be back by 8:30, it was 2 at the time, and she goes "Imposible!". We were back by 7:15. Maria, Maria, Maria.
Anyway we were talking bout guapo hombres today (George Clooney is a favorite) and somehow I brought up the fact that I know Karate. Maria said "Si? A Chuck Norris!" But we couldn't understand her and had to figure out that she was saying Chuck Norris. Hahaha. Chuck Norris in Espana. Chuck Norris I cannot escape thee.
