All this helps to break stereotypes and to encourage a clearer reality about the different lifestyles. A creator of content born in North America has spoken about this, who He has interviewed two people and have offered two very clear verdicts.

As for the type of content that uploads, you can highlight issues related to clashes and adaptation between different cultures, with personal experiences and anecdotes, with the advice and recommendations on travel.
“The schedule for eating is the biggest difference in daily life”
However, the publication that now interests is what the own Katie has interviewed two womenalso of American origin, about what are the most substantial differences between Spain and the United States. As soon as you start with this video, the interviewer asked the following question: “What do you think is the biggest difference between Spain and the United States?”.
The first person has pointed out that the most demanding of Spanish culture is schedule. “The schedule to eat is probably the biggest difference in daily life”he declares. To offer more context to the audience, an image is facilitated in the video in which the hours of the day are seen and dinner, both in the US and in Spain. A list will be presented below with the schedules:
- Eat United States: 11: 30-13: 00 // 18: 00-20: 00.
- Eat Spain: 14: 00-16: 00 // 21: 00-23: 00.
“You can’t eat on the street, they judge you for it”
The next aspect that has been thrown has been the following: “Shops close on Sundays”which is fully supported by Katie, who says “Everything is closed” during the last day of the week. The interviewee also adds that “No dominges are made”since the stores keep the doors closed. Of course, the reality in Barcelona is that not all shops close during that day, although much of conventional stores do.
One of the most curious differences of this interview is that “They don’t even eat while walking. It’s as if I’m eating granola bars while I walk and They judge you for it“reveals. After this explanation, he also adds that it is normal to tell you “what are you doing?” (implying that it is wrong). The same goes for Katie now, who secounds this answer arguing that “It’s like that. Eating and walking can’t”.
“I miss a dryer”
These are the questions that are asked to the first interviewee, but now it is the second to answer the following: “What is the most difficult for an American by moving to Spain?”. Alomejor, the most common answer would be to not be close to the family, but what this young woman answers is that “I miss a dryer”.
It should be noted that it refers to that technology that dries clothes faster, since “I feel that I miss wearing soft clothes, not having to wait two to four working days to dry my clothes”he says. After these statements, Katie intervenes pointing out that “At first I thought that tending the clothes was very romantic. But when I hung it the second time … I wanted to die,”.
