Latinos are even nosier....I am from latin America and I actually lived in Caracas for several years. I read your post about Parque del Este and it took me back in time. The school I was in would take us there on field trips. I miss the friendliness of the people there, and the bakeries. It pains me to see how much traoubles they are in now. What brought you there? if you don't mind me asking...See I can me very nosy too

It was nice to read your post since I have experienced this from the other side. I have had to adjust to the distance and the o touching. I come from a very friendly, touchy culture and we tend to kiss when saying hello, yes sometimes when meeting for the first time, and here in the US I have to keep my distance. I tool a while for me to adjust, and it takes me a while to adjust to the hugging and kissing when I go back home.

Great blog.
