Ven aquí/Ven acá

Just a shout out to Adam P. Apparently, they don´t use ven aquí here. It´s ven acá. So thanks for the heads up. Additionally, it was interesting to note that my spanish book was also wrong. Sunglasses are not gafas del sol but rather lentes del sol, ó anteojos del sol. People in the stores kept sending me to the audio section. I don´t know what they think gafas are...

Also, apparently sniffling is considered rude in this country, as well as not wearing shoes. Go figure.
