It's tropical and usually hot year round. Puerto Rico has large cities, medium-sized cities , and towns which range from big to small. People are usually friendly, but there is a little bit of everything. As in Ireland, beer is readily available. We love to eat rice and beans for lunch and/or dinner. We also enjoy pork and chicken, although we do have a little bit of everything available. Our breakfasts are like typical American cuisine: eggs, bread, butter, cheese, milk, coffee, bacon, etc. You can get Puerto Rican recipes on the Internet, just do a basic search.
We Puerto Ricans enjoy music and a good dance party. Typical music is salsa and merengue. You can get downloads on the Internet. We listen to music in English also, more on the American side. We love to have a good time.
Many of us do speak English, although many of us do not. We are US citizens although we are a US Territory and not a state.

there's no such part in puerto rico called glasgow unless u mean humacao but all of puerto rico is beautiful in every city in the town which is called the pueblo has a big church named after a saint the church is smacked right down in the middle of the pueblo but usually some people over there also like to call it la plaza. People are very nice, humble, and friendly. If you were to go to any restaurant there someone would say to u buen prevecho meaning like bon appetite even the ones that don't know you say it. Culebra beach is beautiful also vieques beach is beautiful to. Lajas has a bay where you could see these certain kind of fishes the when they are scared the give off a light making the river seem lite up. Guyama is the known to be the cleanest city in puerto rico. Bayamon has a bacardi factory and a small attraction for kids called wonder park it's like an amusement park but for children. Aguadilla has a waterpark called las cascada for all ages i love it there it's fun. EL younque is beautiful you can swim in the waterfall after a long hike. at night you can hear the coqui's which sound like a serenade u can hear it hear http://welcome.topuertorico.org/index.shtml
u can find anything there about puerto rico if u click above and also each city has a big festival celebrating a saint. Empanda's, acapurrias, and their bread w/coffee in the morning is the best breakfest you can have also the best bread too.i think itz called pan de manteca

really nice, San Juan itself is quite nice, for a good night out go to Senior Frogs, quality! Some lovely beaches too, especially out to the west of the island.

okay first lets start with telling her if she wants an ALCAPURRIA. This is a very popular fitter made out of green bananas and filles with beef and deep fried. Then you tell her that with the ALCAPURRIA there is PASTELES (tell you later). There is also ACEROLA juice. (like a fruit punch) then you tell her that you will have this special dinner while you listen to the COQUI. (a small tree frog) then finally to really impress her, you tell her that you think that she is CHEVERE. (very nice)
