Summer+Differences

This summer, I went to a lot of places, saw a lot of people, and heard a lot of stuff. One thing that really caught me when I went to the states was the culture, something you don’t realize when you live there. It is so different than the culture in Costa Rica. The way the dress, the way they speak, and heck, the way they shake hands. It is just so different. It was really the little things that counted, the things that you overlook, like shaking hands. It made me stand out all right when I pulled my hand back to fist pump and then my friend’s facial expression when he has no idea what I am doing. You see, in Costa Rica, the fist pump is a normal thing to do while not fist pumping is weird. On the other hand, US, is totally different.
