I ****ing hate this pov country

[rumblesushi]

Early on today, there was a 9 hour powercut here. From about 7am to 4pm. Absurd.

The powercut was due to some fairly heavy winds and rain, that was it

And it took 9 hours to get the electricity back on.

I was pretty worried about my fish. Mid afternoon, the tanks looked pretty damn murky and some of the fish were freaking out, but luckily they all survived, including my cuban gar.

Then to add insult to injury, the broadband/phoneline went down for a couple of hours after the power returned

And I went to a supermarket after the power returned, and there were 4 powercuts while I ws in there, for a couple of minutes at a time hahahahaha. Damn 3rd world country.

The fish are one thing, but I also work from home.

Compared to other countries I've lived in, England and France, I can only recall one powercut in the last 15 years or so, and that lasted about 30 minutes.

To conclude ladies and gentlemen, this country really sucks, and I'm going to move in a few months

lol are you that tired of it?

 

[DeLgAdO]

where you gunna go?

 

[rumblesushi]

Davo - to be honest yeah. In some ways it's a nice country, some beautiful untouched rural areas and rivers and beaches, but most of it sucks. Ugly, smelly towns, very rude and unwelcoming people etc.

And you can't get anything, there's simply no variety here. If you eat it, it's spanish food, that's it. No pizzas, no pasta, no chinese (well 1 or 2 horrible ones within a 3 hour radius) no vietnamese, no korean, no japanese, no french, no nothing. Just horrible, greasy spanish food.

Snack food also doesn't exist here, you can't buy a prepacked sarnie or even a tub of houmous anywhere, or cheddar, or coleslaw, or decent sliced bread. The baguettes are ok though. Oh and you can't buy tropical fish or big tanks either

Another good thing about it is the lack of chav culture and drunk idiots. Spanish don't drink much, and although there are MANY chavs with tracksuits and mullets, they are a different breed to english chavs. They are not aggressive or lairy. They just drive around in their incredibly boyed up little hatchbacks, they don't cause trouble. So it's quite a peaceful place, but just ugly, boring, with no variety and not much entertainment to be had.

It's made me appreciate england more, the one thing that's bad about england is the ever-increasing number of louts and chavs and junkies.

Del - not sure yet, I'm discussing it with my girl. Possibly holland or belgium, but more likely France or back to England

I wish I was able to choose from a variety of countries and just pick up and go.

 

[Mourinho18]

I agree. Get out of Spain asap. It also has to do with what part of the country you're in.
