2014, smarten up
Yeah, so, 2014 has been kind of a bust . . . with one exception: I was able to cross a country off my "I wanna go there list"!
The current Places I Want to Go list (in no particular order):
Argentina & Chile
Lithuania, Russia & Poland
Slovenia/Croatia
The Ukraine
Iceland/Faroe Islands
Jordan
Morocco
New Zealand
A window of opportunity opened, and I jumped through, and it was amazing. I also got to spend a lot of time getting acquainted with Spain. I was only going to be there for a couple of days, but my backpack was stolen so I was stuck until I could get a new passport and credit card. Fortunately I was staying with a friend who lives in Spain and who has friends in Madrid, so we hung out for awhile and performed what I'm sure was the world's longest tapas crawl.
S'funny . . . I think Hima is hit and miss with the characters he creates, re: representing a country's stereotype/vibe (I mean, Poland? WHAT?!) But Spain? NAILED IT.
So an update to the mural of interacting Hetalia characters I always have on my mind: America - Germany - France - Netherlands - Denmark - Norway - Austria - Slovakia - Hungary - Yugoslavia/Serbia - Bulgaria - Romania - England - Scotland - Japan - Belgium - Sweden - Spain - Morocco
It's a wonderful, goofy mental image.
