 | Spain is not the land of options. Everything is small. There's three grocery stores in walking distance, but they all sell the same things, with a little variation. I miss the gluttony of American culture. Options, everywhere. The only store that comes close to it is El Cortes Ingles. It's a Spanish Department store (think Macy's), except they also have a grocery store in the basement. It's probably my favorite place in Spain. I was there yesterday and I thought about buying this coat, but I decided 1,000 euros for a coat was excessive. |
Cups, plates, bowls, there all practically demitasse size. I drink my coffee by the gallon, not the tablespoon. Beer is also cheaper then water here. I kid you not. You can buy six cans of beer for roughly 66 cents in American dollars.
I've been attempting to learn Spanish and a wild thing about the language is they don't always say "I" or "we" or "you" in conversation. A literal translation would be "need coffee". The way they conjugate verbs it tells you who the speaker is referring to, so you don't have to say "I need coffee", because the verb tells the listener who your referring to. That's been a learning curve. As you can tell I'm an American with no culture. To everyone who took Spanish in high school, I now know things. Kind of?
