Live and work in spain

My relationship with Spain is kind of bitter sour. I love it because of the fact that it is lovely to visit a place which is located thousands of miles from your home country and where people happen to speak your home language, but on the other hand the same fact makes it to me a less interesting thing because the farther you fly the different things your expect to see in regards to the culture. I was born in Colombia and I grew up with most of the things Spanish people grew up with. We also have bullfights in Colombia which by the I don´t like partially because the part where the bull beats the shit out of the bullfighter I like. Don´t you think they deserve it?. We Colombians eat a lot just like Spanish people do. There are though some things that are a bit different between this two cultures. For instance Colombians won´t argue verbally that long, they would inmediately react violently and not only verbally, they will actually hit first and let the arguing for later.
Strangely enough Colombians are softer and mannered when speaking, Colombians do ask for a favor no matter what the position of the asked person is. Colombians do show respect while Spanish won´t ask a favor of a waiter, they will demand whatever they want. A waiter in spain won´t go making a gentle conversation with you before hi asks you what you want, An spanish waiter will go directly to the point and will ask you with urgence what do you want or they say "Diga Diga" wich means speak up! speak up!.
Anyway, first I tought they where just rude and not well educated persons but now I realize that this is just a cultural thing.
