The welcoming attitude of the people in Puerto Rico was a stark contrast to the brusque interactions I was used to in New Jersey. Whether at the grocery store or just strolling, a hearty 'Buen día' or 'Buenas tardes' was common, making me feel embraced by the community.
In New Jersey, mealtimes were hurried and filled with clipped conversations, often overshadowed by a sense of urgency. Moving to Puerto Rico taught me to appreciate the experience of savoring food with others, turning meals into a leisurely celebration rather than a rushed necessity.
