I want to talk about Madrid, Spain. I´ve been living in Madrid for 15 years, almost my entire life and I never thought that I was going to live in another city with other language. First, I was going to study in Boston for a year to learn English but my dad told me in my birthday that we might go to San Diego the whole family for a year. Finally I didn’t go to Boston and I came here.
The lifestyle is very different between Spain and America. For example, in America, people eat breakfast at 8, lunch at 12 and dinner at 6. In Spain, we eat breakfast at 9, lunch at 3 and dinner at 10. Also the hours to hang out and party is different, here normally party’s starts at 7 and ends at 11 or 12. In Spain party´s starts at 10 and ends at 2 or 3 in morning . Also here, you can drive when you are 16. In Spain you have to be 18 and the way to take it it´s different. The worst thing was that I lived 20 minutes away from school. So the weekends if I want to hang out with friends from school, I always had to take the metro, it’s like a train that goes underground, it takes me an hour to go there. But the best thing in Spain is, you can drink when you are 18, you don’t have to be 21 like here. I remembered when my parents told me we were going to Coronado, at the beginning I did not feel anything because I couldn’t believe we were going to live in the USA, it was like a dream. But, after many days
I prefer Spain, there is more liberty, you can do more things when you are 16 through 20. I don’t know if it is because I´ve been living there my whole life of it is because it is better.
