Moving from our country of habitual residence, whether the one in which we were born or not, to another, is usually an impact great in a person’s life. This happens, above all, when the change is to a territory very far from ours or one that has very marked cultural or social differences.
When we go through this process, whether by obligation or by choice, it is inevitable to go through a adaptation process in which to learn to live according to the customs of the new country of residence, following the new rules that may exist and leaving aside, little by little, the way of life of the previous place.
If there are very large differences between both countries, it is possible that, even if time passes, there may still be things that cause surprise or continue. missing to those who moved in their day.
For Anita Mateu, Cuban by origin, this is a reality in her daily life, since for some time now moved from Cuba to Spainspecifically to Galicia. Through her TikTok profile, where she has accumulated more than 269,000 followers and 4.4 million likes, the young woman usually shares curiosities and things that may attract attention about her life as a Cuban in our country.
In one of her latest videos, Anita dares to tell things that cause her shame or “keep her humble” in Spain because they are very different from her country because that way of living does not exist there. Among some of these differences, one stands out related to how we pay in our country.
«One of my first embarrassments in Spain is that I didn’t know how to pay by phone. Here, paying with the contactless card with the phone is used. Well In Cuba only cash is used, we are 30 years behind in technology or be careful, more”, he began counting.
“And I didn’t even know that this existed, I saw it in the movies and said ‘wow, what technology.’ When I got here It even made me nervous“I don’t know if it happens to you that you get nervous when you are going to pay,” Anita continues.
Other things that he says keep him humble is that he does not claim money for subscriptions or purchases that he does not want to have or in which he made a mistake. «Confronting another person on the phone, that I’m very ashamed», he acknowledges.
