Diferencias en España

In Spain, a lot of things are more similar than what I thought they would be.  For the most part the big things look the same.  The biggest difference to me is how small everything is.  In my apartment in Spain I'm a giant!  I miss have big open spaces, and a trashcan in my room.  I wish that in the U.S. we had more efficient ways of doing things.  Because everything is so small here, they are very good at only using room that they have to use.
