Elevator

as regards the weather and to help you out with the deliverymen i'm sending the typical phrases you will hear around baires. it doesn't really matter whether it's cold or hot, rainy or sunny, some utterances will come in handy anytime. all year long you will hear neighbors saying "lo que mata es la humedad" referring to humidity, or "el tiempo esta loco" meaning how changeable the climate is or "el pronostico anuncio otra cosa" (they always forecast the very opposite so no problem with this sentence). my suggestion is replying with any of these sentences. if they're talking about other things just follow the conversation with "que barbaro, que terrible" if they are complaining about something. or just "claro". we also make use of these phrases when we don't feel like talking to taxi drivers. good luck!
