Latin culture is definitely different from American culture. The other day I was talking to one of James' Colombian coworkers. She mentioned missing her husband. "Oh, he must be in Colombia, right?" "No," she said, "my husband is so-and-so here in Costa Rica." The funny thing is that the wife is 23 years old, and the husband must be in his middle forties. I asked James about it later. "Oh, that's normal in Latin culture," he said.
