Food, Teeth and the posta

Posta experience
So I think that the posta is the best place to experience cultural differences in space. I was the bio guy and we had to go to the posta to get some stamps. There was a black guy at the station, and then a white tourist behind him, a person- and a half space behind him; the teacher just walked up right in front of her. She looked at me and gave me a “I cant believe he just did that” look. It was funny.

smiling with teeth
This is another difference that I have to keep reminding myself, its small however. So when people smile here, or at least with me, I have to smile with my teeth showing to get a response out of them. I think that it is because they cant tell that I’m smiling unless they can see my teeth. I kept smiling at people that I know can see my face but they could not smile or wave back until I showed my teeth. It is similar with me because I cant always tell the facial features, especially when we are driving around.

Speaking of food and diseases another thing that I have noticed that is different here. All the food that is served hot is HOT moto! Im pretty sure that it is the real potential of disease with food. Im glad for it but I think that is funny that it is not that way in the states. If someone served me a warm plate of food, I might complain to my friends but would still eat it and not think anything about it.
