Interesting Differences:
- Time-they don't really do the whole "get it done now" thing. It is all flexible.
- Here, it's food advertising, there it's lingerie
- Sauce on foods here, salt or mayo only there
- Prices on electronics: it's sooo expensive for bad quality there!
- Not getting catcalled all the time here in the States (it's a great change)
- I was a "Yankee" there, now I'm back to being American
- How awkward greetings are impossible cuz you kiss EVERYONE hello and goodbye
- Cafes everywhere
- The friendly people
- Reggaeton music and boliches and being out until 8 am

It seems that customs are pretty similar in Hispanic countries. I lived in Colombia for ten years, and I can understand the casual routine of cheek kissing and the flexible management of time.
