Quck list of odd things in Salamanca

It has to be brief because I need to sleep before my test tomorrow.

(Not sure what time it really is... here, i still don't have a clock.)

1. Not allowed to be barefoot in the house ever ever. not even while walking to the shower. i don't like this rule.

2. No feet on table, couch, chairs, etc. It's very rude.

3. In Salamanca, they don't assign homework. Professors find homework "childish" and patronizing. Why should the students need to be forced to do assignments when they can learn on their own?

4. Breakfast (desayuno) is usually fairly late in the morning and it consists of some sort of bread and cofee.

5. Almuezar (it has another name tooo...) is the main meal of the day and it's in early afternoon. about 2:30

6. In the late afternoon (to my host mother late afternoon = 7:30) you can have a snack.

7. Supper (Cena) is at like.. 9 and it's supposedly smaller.

8. People bring their children on walks at like 11 at night. It's quite interesting

9. The cathedraels are beautiful. One day i'll do them justice by taking a decent picture or two.

10. It's common practice to take a stroll around 7 in the afternoon (lol)... the streets ar
e packed at this time and everyone is out and about

11. However, before the stroll and after the big meal, it's nap time. It's not safe to go out by yourself in the hours of 3-5 pm ish because the city is empty

12. However you can go out at 11pm-1am. that's safe.

sigh.

I should sleep. Ihave my initial exam tomorrow. I'm not studying, because I really don't know what i should study for. Verbs, berhaps? Maybe some vocabulary? or perhpas sleep is best.
And the picture is a street at night, all light up and pretty.
