Señorita Suarez en Sevilla: No blog update in over a month? "No pasa nada"

Hello to all my blog readers! I know I havn't posted in over a month, but I have to tell you that I am happily adjusting and adapting many of the Sevillana characteristics! One of the biggest cultural aspects that I've become very acccostumed to is the phrase "no pasa nada". Here is Andalucia, Sevillanos used the phrase "no pasa nada" for everything. Literally it means, nothing happened but it also means, "It's okay"/"No biggie". Here a few examples..
- You bumped into me on the street..."no pasa nada"
- That woman just cut me in the line at the supermarket... "no pasa nada"
- You didn't pick up your dog's poop (very common here) ... "no pasa nada"
- I forgot to do my homework... "no pasa nada"
- I missed the train... "no pasa nada"
- It's over 100 degrees farenheit here in the summer... "no pasa nada"
- I havn't written in my blog in ages... "no pasa nada"

You get the picture.

So here's a few other customs that I've gladly adopted...

- Every hour is happy hour in Sevilla
- Siestas aren't just naps.. it's a way of life... kind of like a vitamin.
- Taking a "paseo". Sometimes it's fun to get all dolled up and walk around like your in NYC fashion week. Sevillanos are infamous for it.
- TAPAS! Great seafood at low prices!

And some that I will never adopt...

- Wearing boots, a turtle neck, wool socks, and a jacket in 85 degree weather? For me, that's the recipe for a heat stroke.
- Toast and coffee is not a real breakfast...
- Why walk 1 mph when you can get there faster? Spaniards walk SUPER slow. I'm the crazy American that walks at about 5 mph.

Here's some pictures to show you my daily life in Sevilla...
