Expatica blogger Kristen Bernardi told a salesgirl she needed to get laid when all she really wanted was powder.UPON arriving in Spain for the first time, I discovered that my make-up compact had broken in transit. I realised that I didn't know the word for 'powder', so I consulted my dictionary. I tossed the old peach-coloured bits into the bin and set out for the perfumería.
I took a brief lap around the shop and couldn't find what I was looking for, so I found a salesgirl to ask for help.
I?m allergic to sulfites. Years ago, before the spanish market was flooded with the food preservative, as it is now. I walked into a bar and asked for a glass of wine without preservativos. The entire bar laughed so hard and my 12 year old daughter told me what I'd done after we left the bar.

preservatives? done the same in France. Flatmates nearly killed me!
If ever you're explaining to someone how you "ran like crazy" for the bus, don't make the verb CORRER reflexive.
"Corría y corría como una loca para coger el autobus..." is what you SHOULD say...
