A List of Random Things about Spain

-Spanish people love gambling. There are gambling shops, or stores, or whatever you would call them everywhere

-The streets are a party at noon, but are dead for siesta time (from 4 to 8 pm). True for Madrid, and lots of those outdoorsy places

-I’ve heard people say that the quality of education is low here, and I think it’s just that things are taught slower? I don’t think “Spaniards are dummies” is an explanation for anything. But one thing that is true, is that they are

-SLOW AS FUCK

-Tapas: the idea is both brilliant and buttfuck at the same time. Brilliant: When you are drinking your wine and beers, you can get a little thing to nibble on at pretty much any bar. Buttfuck: Sometimes that shit has been sitting out all day; hope you like your food old and crusty!

Jamon: The food you´ll find on most of your tapas. Just don´t confuse it with jabon

-There is a lot of old people. In fact, it’s more people double my age that are out getting tipsy during the day. They come off as happy (probably because they’re drunk), and thus have the second longest life expectancy in the world. Despite all that drinking and jamon

-Girls: Spanish girls are feministas, who have these short haircuts with weird alien-like bangs, and a bullring piercing running under her nose. They also have some fat asses for being generally taller and skinnier than other European countries. Talents include: handrolling a cigarette with one hand while talking on the cell phone in the other

-Another uncanny Spanish talent: the ability to REMEMBER where you sat in a bar and calculate your cuenta (bill) in their head. To hell with computers

-The Spaniards “Span-ify” all of the foreign words. WiFi? They say WEE-FEE. The band U2? OOH-DOS. Spiderman? SPEEDRE MAAAHN. Claptone? CLAP-TO-NAY CD-rom? SAY-DEH RAAM—I think you get the point

-Everyone wakes up late as fuck. You know how many people are up before 9 AM in Madrid? Seven. Seven people. I’ve seen them all. Everyone else wakes up in the grey area between afternoon and morning and then they nap again, do a siesta… OMG it just hit me: Spanish people are ADDICTED TO SLEEP.

-But in the morning, they are all starting with that coffee. Cafe is big in the mornings. Know what else is? Motherfucking CHURROS. Yes, THOSE kind. They eat that shit for breakfast! HOW ARE THEY LIVING SO LONG

-I touched upon this above, but Spanish people take their sweet ass time doing everything. The process—whatever it is—takes three times as long

-Spanish people don’t really look a certain way. They don’t look like Latinos, although they are speaking the same language. They have this multi-look that comes as a result of being ruled by the Moors until 900 BC. And because of… some other historical shit that you can research if you’re interested in this topic (I´m no historian)
