I just fail to see what threads like this get us, I admit the good and bad side of Spain needs to be discussed but this is all about comparing two things that just can't be compared, and I have to say to compare even one type of Spaniard with another is hard. I have friends from a couple of parts of Spain and they are all different, and in my experience the Galicians are the worse of the bunch, not saying they are not nice, they are just not as nice generally as the rest of the Spaniards, but then thats just my opinion, and there lies the rub.... its such a subjective thing that it just can't be quantified. I had a friend shot in Spain by the Guardia Civil, but would I say that all my experiences with the Guardia were bad? Not a hope, one of my best friends was a Guardia and he was the nicest person I knew out there.

According to a study:rolleyes: I read all the human race traces back to about 4 women.

I'd like to see these 4 women trying to concieve a child. I really would.
Spanish are still loving me. Apart from my doctor, she's quite a, bubbly person and I think she hates me. She is new though, my old one used to like me. I have found that the rudest/most 'orrid spanish people, seem to be the doctors in malaga hospital. Not all of them, just a couple. They are the only two Spanish people that have really stuck out in my mind. (And my new lady doctor).
4 women, making babies..
