After hiding under the covers and swatting mercilessly in your Latin American hotel room, you can’t take it anymore. You cry out in Spanish, “Help me, help me! Please come in here and help!” Your Spanish roommate comes to the rescue and says in Spanish, “What is it? Why are you screaming in Spanish at three o’clock in the morning? Are you having a bad dream?” You reply in Spanish, “No, I’m having a bad reality. These Spanish mosquitoes are in bed with me! They’re everywhere! They won’t leave me alone.” Suddenly, your roommate disappears, and all you can hear is cackling coming from the direction of the floor. “Oh no, no you don’t!” you yell in Spanish. You continue in Spanish, “You don’t laugh at me in my time of need! Can’t you do something, anything?” Your roommate continues to writhe on the floor in laughter, but suddenly you see a mosquito light on his arm. Suddenly, he yelps in Spanish, “I’ve been bit!” You tell him in Spanish, “It serves you right. Now get someone from the front desk in here to help us out!”

Learn Spanish with SpanishPod101.com! What’s up with this Latin American apartment? No matter where you look in your Spanish-speaking friend’s apartment, everything seems to be the opposite of what you expect. You exclaim in Spanish, “What the he–!” when you see the water in the toilet spinning the “wrong” way on the way out. Your friend explains to you in Spanish, “Below the equator, the water spins counter-clockwise rather than clockwise.” He continues in Spanish, “It’s called the Coriolis Force.” Before he can continue his physics lesson, you interrupt in Spanish, “Huh? All I know is that’s not normal. Where I’m from, the water goes the other way!” Now your new favorite pastime is to look for other oddities in your friend’s apartment, and every time you find one, you call out to your friend in Spanish, “There’s something wrong here too!” Your friend keeps telling you in Spanish why things are they way they are in Latin America, but that’s not good enough for you. You won’t be satisfied until you get to the bottom of all these Latin American oddities. So when you find the next phenomenon, you call out to your friend in Spanish, “Hey buddy, come take a look at this!”
