    Joeblow gets robbed

    Joeblow gets robbed

    So, like the idiot that I thought I wasn't, I told my friend: "nothing's gonna happen, let's just leave our backpacks on the bench". We proceeded to play a round of frisbee--nothing too exotic for Retiro (if you're from the US). Lo and behold, a half an hour into the frisbee tossing, two...

    How not to stand out like a tourist

    You are absolutely right. Sometimes Spanish speakers are terribly straightforward --I remember the same thing happening in Spain just as you mention it does here. There are circustances when saving face does seem to work differently though. I'll have to give some thought to when it is not ok to...

    How not to stand out like a tourist

    Don't smile at people you don't know. Don't say hi to people you don't know. Don't say hi more than once a day to acquaintances you pass in buildings/on the street. Don't eat while walking around the city. Don't expect free water at a restaurant. Don't ask for ice in your soft drinks. If...
