My own mother refused to let me use the word 'oblong' instead of 'rectangle'. Which is just odd, to be honest.
What stuff do you think is common?

Yeah very true.We do like our home comforts when away. But its great to get out and see what the place is really about. Hire a car, go for a drive away from the tourist zones. Its brilliant.
And youre right, you probably did speak more spanish than the local ex pat population :) So good on you :)
