Totally know how you feel about the kissing thing - they do the same in the French part of Switzerland. I have a friend there and am obligated to kiss the entire room as she introduces me two seconds before. I really enjoyed this article!

Although I can't say I relate, I can totally see what you mean after spending 5 weeks there. You ARE one tough cookie! :) When traveling there, the hustlers' 'where you from fren?' (or, 'que pais?') isn't too bad, only because I know I only have to deal with it for so long...but to live there and still get it every day? I can't imagine.

I could totally feel the anxiety of walking in a room and not knowing who to kiss and how to act!
