What main languages are spoken here?:

Here in Spain, the official language is Spanish, and I mainly hear that being spoken, But in Ibiza, there were lots of tourists speaking English and German. My roommate is German and he picked up on a lot of people speaking his native language. 

What type of money is used here?:

The euro is the currency everywhere and all prices are displayed in euros. When you see one euro for example, it is equivalent to $1.10. This makes it so that whenever I'm spending money it’s not too far off from the value in dollars and if it is, it’s only by a couple dollars. I've gotten used to estimating how much I'm spending in dollars.

How much does a bottle of water cost?:

It really depends on the store, but if you're going to a typical local market like Mercadona, which is the most common here in Spain, a bottle of water will cost you no more than 1 euro, so close to a dollar which I found to be cheaper than an average bottle of water in the United States. 

What was the best meal this week?:

The best meal I had this week was tacos from a Spanish chain called TKO Takos. The big thing about TKO is that a taco is no more than 2 euros, which I found to be a great price, and they have all kinds of meats.
