Here are a few things to watch out for when you move somewhere new or are returning home after a long time away.
The first thing that I did when I got out of the airport was to cross the road，but I looked the wrong way！In the UK the cars drive on the lefthand side of the road whereas in Spain they drive on the right. You have to be very careful.
. In Mallorca, most of the time, pedestrians can cross the road by walking on the road without stopping and the car will stop for them. In the UK, however, you have to be careful to wait for the cars to stop or else you might end up in the hospital very quickly!
Drink water.
In Spain，most people buy large bottles of water to drink. In the UK the filtering(过滤) of the water means that you can drink straight from the tap. On my first night back I forgot that I could drink water from the taps and spent the night wishing I had a bottle of water.
In Spain there is a small break during the day to have a nap for the rest of the day. You also might only think about going out for a drink with friends in Spain at 11 p.m. In the UK that is already past the bedtime!
