| Tapas and bar snacks |
My tour of Spain, not only helped me to know some cities and towns but also to closely observe the local customs, some healthy, some strange or shocking as that inexplicable ' come, until then' when someone is dismissed and one was the early days of stone-faced. It would be easy for me-only-be praise or free rant against the motherland, a concept that many Latin Americans harbor high because we were taught at school, but never fully understood. Never mind, I'm going to 'wet', but run the risk of cross out of me whatever.
English I read somewhere (here's ), Spain is a country of waiters and bar, which no longer true. A notable English inclination go through every day somewhere for coffee or a cane ( beer) and enjoy a lid or a skewer , custom sound and perfectly understandable, which falls heavy and shocking is the environment too noisy bars, listening to the talk of the neighbor, sometimes almost shouting as if they scold each other. On the other hand, it is shameful and disgusting show that Latinos are drinking 'till the bars' in squares and parks of English cities. I remember that social drinking in Latin America is synonymous with manhood or maturity, right?
The second thing that draws attention, both on the street and on television, is released naturally tacos (expletives) to bulk, even lying to 'our mother'. In America you can take a beating or sewing shot if you mess with somebody's mother.
This industry standard incomprehensible, canned tuna packed tiny, not even enough for the cat. Know this better than anyone, Peru, Ecuador and Chile.
bread it produced mainly in long bar (the next day is almost inedible) or whether in the form of large disk. I like my bread individually as craft or crispy French bread.
they call 'banana' the fruit from Latin and "banana" to the Canaries from, is it to protect their appellation of origin?
The taste of gazpacho (salted drink made with vegetables, garlic and other seasonings) than English is a summer drink, but most Latinos is the idea that it is a cold soup is not very pleasant. Not so the red summer, the iced tea, horchata Valencia (the latter, the real vice of mine).
Latin Americans, especially the Caribbean can not live without their music at full volume all day without saving illustrious consideration for flats or apartments neighbors. Wisely, the vast majority of English is impervious to hip hop, cumbia cheap, bachata boring (except the Juan Luis Guerra is fine) and that crap called reggaeton.
The incomprehensible government policy to double all the films and series in other languages \u200b\u200bto Castilian, while in Portugal and other European countries only bend audiovisual products for children. I have nothing against dubbing, but the ears of a Latino is tiring and frustrating to hear the same voices, often overreacted and have no connection with the characters. Surely many English Latino dislike dubbing, but at least we can select channels in the original and not only on cable channels. And yet, as an anecdote, it is curious to hear funny when spoken English speakers of English names or terms, I come to mind the words' espiderman 'or' wifi ', but when they speak of the telephone company' Orange 'orange nobody says literally. I do not think that the English citizen be lazy or unwilling to learn other languages, but is spoiled to the 'castellanización' of everything. What is the benefit of all this argument?, As simple, I can read and understand English without much difficulty and defend orally and all without going to any college or pay a hard , how?, Just listening to music, watching TV and subtitled films since I was a kid.
However, despite being one of the most important tourist destinations in the world, paradoxically English society is suspicious and closed to foreigners, there is little desire for integration into the local culture, I say this because I saw in Mallorca, with the treatment given to the guiris (German), while these good people should pay what they are and it ' to take the ass' . Another curious fact, the segregation in summer beaches: English on one side, German and English on the other hand, never together. Here in America, we "wait on" to receive with open arms and not just their dollars to the gringos (Yankees or European) and even if it hurts, our girls were stick like flies to honey, and vice versa, European prefer blondes our cholos before the 'white boys. "
But what is striking and is less understandable is the mutual distrust between Catalan, English, Basque, Galician and Andalusian. I have read numerous articles about the 'fifty Spains' trying to break down and shed light on the matter. In an area two times lower than that of Bolivia, is inexplicable atomization of political power, so dual functions, many regional parliaments, as many security forces, national police, civil guards and police autonomic and without the army, (when you have a bite or a procedure is not known where to turn). I see you, English and I notice that you are more or less the same facial features and the same culture with their nuances and I am unable to distinguish the 'nationality' or provenance, perhaps vaguely regional accent. Of course I say, compared to us, you are more similarities than differences. America except a few countries, is a real madhouse we live in a messy patchwork of conflicting ethnic groups, diverse cultures, religions and beliefs. In a vast territory, citizens, we Creole (descendants of Europeans), mestizos or cholos, afro and indigenous communities, most of the time does not mean we discriminate against each other for various reasons, but when fat or life problems have more unity and consciousness of nation in Spain. What Brazil is white, African, mestizo and Asian genuinely do not enjoy when sele ion cc football wins? Which does not happen in some regions of Spain when he plays 'The Red'.
Finally, I did not overlook the pleasant impression that I have produced the English woman, apart of Mediterranean beauty, has a powerful personality, strength of character and independence of man and has no major drawback in fighting for what you crave, including the man she likes. And would like some of us that our Latinas have the initiative. However many, it may seem somewhat harsh English accent, but in a woman's mouth, preferably with an Andalusian accent, is potentially attractive as it is for many English Argentine accent, but the rest of Latin kick us off like liver or not?
