Spanish men are dirty. One of our professors says they are passionate, I say dirty. I pity the girls over here for this trip. Spanish women must be nearly impossible to get, I never see them with guys and the guys are always hitting on American women. Although their pick-up line must be smooth because it gets them every time, "My name ____ I need practice me english." How terrible is that, but pass a night in a bar and watch spanish guy after spanish guy use that line and later make out with some random american girl. Which makes me wonder, is it that Spanish women are hard to get or that american girls are easy? Other things, never have I seen a culture so open to checking other people out. Some twelve year old with a mullet couldn't take his eyes off Carly in a store and then he couldn't take his eyes off some other american girl in the store either. It is a good thing it wasn't Grace, because I would have kicked his ass. And finally on this rant are the construction workers, which I suppose it depends...some of them compliment the girls in good ways, others make sexual comments to them thinking they don't know spanish.
And on the topic of mullets, what the hell. I thought fashion crossed to the US from europe? Every other guy on the street has either a wicked mullet or a design shaved in his head. They also play 80's rock everywhere. I think that we should send burt reynolds over, he would be their new god. While we are at it I vote that we ship all of our surplus 80's hick cars and massive jacked up hillbilly trucks over here too. The girls have some layered mullet-like thing that they call a haircut and I call the ugliest animal that ever crawled on somebody's head and died.
One more thing I like to add to my list of disenchantments would be smoking. Everybody here smokes, it drives me nuts. I went into a department store, "El Corte Ingles" , and was yelled at for having food, But some ancient snaggletooth whore can smoke cigarettes and let her dog pee on the floor. Yeah that makes sense. Which brings up another one, dog shit. In the US, people clean up after their dog for the most part. Here, you would think that cleaning up after your dog would guarantee leprosy later in life or something.
In further news I still love this country :-)
