Spanish people are like us!

So it is cultural...

In my Spanish class yesterday, my teacher talked about how in Spain they would say hi to someone if they were in "something" together. And that's what I meant! And she said that the French don't do that... so I guess that answers my question...in a way. It still doesn't explain people who are friendly one minute and complete strangers the next.

Anyway, here's just something that amused me, it was in an INSA newsletter. There is a student association in INSA that "takes care" of student welfare, and here they are reporting on the washing machines in the different hostels in INSA. Bâtiment means building, or in this case, block. And what I found funny was that they spelt it correctly the first 3 lines, but not in the last three! (and another weird thing is that Firefox tells me that "spelt" doesn't exist :/ )

Bâtiment A/B : c'est parfait
Bâtiment G/J : Un lave-linge qui marche, on attend des devis pour les deux autres, il y en aura surement un à changer.
Bâtiment H : les deux lave-linge marchent, le sèche-linge a toujours son problème de porte mais la réparation va bientot arriver et il marche couci couça en attendant.
Batiement E : Un lave-linge qui marche, l'autre lave-linge et le sèche-linge sont à racheter, ça arrive ...
Bâtiement I : c'est parfait
Bâtiement F : les deux lave-linges marchent, le sèche linge est en cours de rachat.
(yeah, there are a lot of hostel blocks in INSA)

And these few days the temperature was around 10°C...it even went up to 14°C! So hopefully it'll be that high tomorrow! (tennis , remember? ;) )
