THE DAILY

For lack of motivation to write a thorough and meaty post, I'd like to share what I've learned this week and other things that are just great, in list form:

· Students of 4º ESO (equivalent to sophomores in HS) taught me this: Born in Honolulu, USA is the 44th and current president of the Karli's country. The most typical food of my country is: Chicken, potatoes and cake.

· An adult student of mine, Antonio, has a watch worth 800 or 900€, he can't remember.

· It would be unwise to mix these words up, unless you like those awkward social moments: macaco/a, macoqui & macoca

· Spanish cava (sparkling wine), almost-kind of-not really the same as French champagne, is better because: if you open the bottle and can't finish it, no stress! Tomorrow it will just be wine, sans bubbles!

· The "Tooth Fairy" in Spain is: Ratón Perez: Perez the Mouse. In other words, the "character" who sneaks into the bedrooms of small children at night to touch their pillows and watch them sleep is:

Señor Perez Hilton the Mouse. Creeeeeeepy·

Karlica, can I get a gloss on macaco/a, macoqui & macoca? Macaque and some words for privates?
