10. The kids all wear uniforms to school. The girls wear skirts and blazers. The boys wear long pants with vests and long-sleeve button-up shirts. The schools seem to all have uniforms and to be all single-sex.
11. The kids in our house go to private school so they are learning English and have music lessons at school. Both children play instruments.
12. There are internet cafes on every corner, partially for tourists, but most people do not have access in their house. La Senora explained that is expensive, but also she doesn’t want her kids on the computer all the time (Stuart, are you reading this?) Some of the internet cafes also have videogame consoles.
13. Dogs wander around loose. They are strays but don’t always look like it as they are well-fed and not mangy-looking. They are very traffic-savvy. People chip in to help them. We have seen people buy food to feed strays, lift them up to get them out of the way of traffic, and try to train them.
14. Most of the people here are very small, even shorter than me. Many people have marvelled at how tall Camille is (at 5-4) and I have to duck in certain entranceways.
15. They eat very healthfully. Everything is fresh from the market or homemade. There is very little junk food for sale or places like McDonalds. Even the street vendors sell things like fresh fruit, juice, skewers of meat, corn, or bread. Dessert is usually fruit.
