Why does The Spanish culture not feel the need to write thank you notes.

Question

I did a big favor for a person and they thanked me with words but not a note. Why do the Spanish not feel it necessary to write a note?

Answer 1

I have family that don't even bother to say thank you, much less send a thank you note! I have sisters like that...oh I'm their best friend when they need money...once that money is transfered, they forget all about me till the next emergency!

So, if I learn Spanish really well, does that mean I don't have to write anymore thank you cards? Cool!
