(no subject)
It´s my last day in Espania and I´M SO GLAD TO BE RETURNING TO THE STATES. Don´t get me wrong, Spain was great, Spain was fun.. but this trip has made me realize how much I value the time spent with friends and being American in general.
THINGS SPAIN IS GOOD AT¨
Alcohol
The Spaniards are good at managing their booze consumption (in that they offer it anywhere, everywhere). If it´s 7 am and you´re fiending for some Cuervo.. it´s yours. If you´re walking down the street and you need a pick me up, go get some fuckin wine for 1 euro. I was able to keep a consistent buzz this entire trip thanks to the leniant ways of the Europeans. If it were this easy to aquire booze in the states, I might be an alcoholic (I´m kinda drunk right now... so that explains punctuation errors.. along with the fact that i´m typing on an unfamiliar Spanish keyboard.)
Cool Streets
New York is way more navigatable than Madrid, but Madrid has cool back streets going for them (Backstreet´s BACK alright). They´re really beautiful little streets with gorgeous flowers growing from windowsills and narrow cobblestone roads that make you think "Yeaaah I could get used to this shit".
Time
Spaniards rule at time.. in that everything stays open till 2 am and shit doesn´t get going till about 10 am.. leaving lazy asses like me plenty of time to sleep off hangovers. It doesn´t get dark till 10 pm, which means the streets are always bustling, and there´s way more time to take advantage of shit. GGGRRREEEAATTT JJJOOOBBBBB.
Cigarettes
You can smoke EVERYWHERE here, which is awesome. Also.. you can buy cigarettes for 2.50 euros from vending machines. America needs to wake up and realize this is what we need. MORE DEATH STICKS; CHEAPER PRICES!!
THINGS SPAIN IS BAD AT
Food
Call me North American Scum, but I was really not into Spanish food. The most popular meat is jamon, aka HAM, which sucks. Granted, it´s not fuckin deli meat style ham like in the US, it´s more of a tough proscuitto style ham that´s hard to chew. If you order an entree (for example, pollo, aka, chicken), you only get that fuckin piece of chicken. No accompanying side orders (well... potatoes if you´re lucky), just a yellow ass piece of meat that tends to look less than appetizing.
Hot Men
It was a severe goal of mine to fuck a Spaniard before I left this grand country.. but too bad all the fucking doods here are Eurotrashy sluts whom I want nothing to do with. It definitely made me appreciate how much I love a scruffy, sexy Americano, and how much I wanna pounce on those dixx when back in my homeland. Fuck these Euros.. OVER IT.
Fashion
Despite what you may think.. New York most definitely trumps Madrid as far as style goes. My Dad asked me "SO, what do you think of Spanish style?"... to which I bitchily (predictably) responded "YAAAAWWWNNN". I got hella cute shit from the Topshop and H&M´s here, but regardless.. the Spaniards failed to impress me. Think Zara x 1000... aka, boring boring boring.
Alright back to le hotel before I pass out from too much vino el rojo. I´ll be back in less than 24 hours.. and thank god I have the promise of a bonfire-boat ride waiting for me when I return. This summer´s gonna be great.
