Javier and
I decided to meet at Atomic Coffee on the 15th of July. The two
cheek kiss greeting felt awkward and a bit intimate. After introductions, we
decided to chat about Javier’s home country of Spain. Javier is from Madrid,
and in his home town, he actually participated in the Stampede of the Bulls. I
thought he was crazy for participating in such a dangerous activity, but I also
thought about how I took so few risks in life. After that Javier asked me about
how Americans view Europeans and vice versa. Hopefully I was accurate in saying
that most Americans welcome Europeans especially Europeans that know English (I
think accents are awesome). What I like about the EU is the fact that the EU
is very cautious with what they sell their citizens. For example, The EU banned
GMOs and certain kinds of pesticides. Additionally, they use reusable shopping
bags because they are environmentally conscious. Americans could learn a lot
from Europeans.
