If you want to cook us recipes from your culture we will love to try them. You will also meet a lot of inhabitants and kids from the surrounding village, they will love to play with you and you can take part in national fiestas with us when the opportunity comes (a lot of karaoke). The only Rule we have in social behavior is that we treat each other with respect and always be honest. Also we expect you to clean up after yourself and not be lazy.
