Mis zapatos americanos
Tal vez pudiere ir a españa por un mes con mi universidad. He oído que mi zapatos americanos blancos para correr se verán un poco raro en españa. ¿Qué sería mejor? ¿Qué sería comodo para un monton de caminar y se ven bien con algo como vaqueros así que no me veré tanto como un "stupid american tourist", y también se ven bien aqui en EEUU?
Y también, ¿no se lleva pantalones cortes in españa? ¿Aún en Madrid, donde he oído que hace mucho calor en verano? ¡Gracias! Please correct any Spanish mistakes I made. Y digame si hay otras cosas que "stupid americans" llevan en españa que llaman la atención y se ven tonto. |

Short trouses are common in Spain (not for working, again) but in summer! But one of the most funny things we see in tourists is a man with short trousers, socks and sandals. If you wear sandals, don't put your socks (and never white ones). Moccasins are common in summer, but not with socks. If you want to wear socks with short trousers, wear your sneakers; with them they can be white, but they must be very short (the sneakers I mean, the trousers shouldn't be too short). Anyway, socks with short trousers look like a bit ridiculous, but many people (men, above all) cannot go without socks. Jeans are common here, too. You can wear a cap or a straw hat, too. It's too sunny here in summer. But never wear the cap as you, Americans, are used to do (well, I'm not sure, I've seen it in films), back to front; that sounds ridiculous, too. The peak is used to protect your face, not your nape of the neck. |

The present subjunctive is used instead of the future subjunctive. The future subjunctive mood isn't currently used. It appears in old literary works and in some refrains. You won't hear it used in daily speech.

In my experience at the Spain's touristic places, there isn't anything, wrong in wearing white trainers, short trousers or T-shirts (in fact I usually wear white trainers, even at work). The clothing rules in Spain are not very different than those in the States or in the rest of Europe. Recently, I have seen posters banning the entrance wearing just swimming clothes into some coffe shoops and supermarkets at the coast, so you must add to your swimsuit at least a shirt or a T-shirt . By the way, what Irmamar writes about the sandals is true, but there is not any rule about it, the spanish people just find the image of one person wearing socks with sandals very weird. The private rule at some clubs or discos of banning people wearing withe socks is expecially annoyng for me, because I love wearing trainers and white socks, but if you're not allowed to enter in any of those places, because of this, you just have to look arround and go anywhere, there are lot of places where they will be pleased to let you in.

It's true that in New York young men and children often wear caps with the brim to the side or backward. I don't know why.
