Adios, Chiticitica!

I learned that one uses "adios" when one is passing an open doorway, but not stopping.  You don´t say, hi, because you are not staying to talk.  Instead, you say - bye.  I find that funny.  It is like it is to clarify that you are going somewhere and people should not stop you to chat.  I think they could have used that practice in Peru... where you couldn´t get anywhere without stopping 10 times to talk to everyone. 

I also love the ita endings ticos add to everything.  Por ejemplo: "hola, gatita."  If you are really feeling Tico, you can say, "hola, gaticitica."  It pretty much just goes on and on and more rediculous from there.
