So there is one thing I have neglected to mention...
McDonald's is equivalent to the dramat corner in the library. It's so weird to get used to that idea!
Also, the McDonalds here are super duper fancy. On the left after you walk in it's the normal menu but on the right it's practically like Starbucks. My dad gave me grief about it. But it's basically like going to a cafe with Wifi! It's our hang out spot to do homework before flamenco on Tuesday nights :)
