I was a tad pissy after that. It amazes me people think Europe is a utopia. he wants to move fine but the USA is the best country on earth IMO.
I'd much rather stay in somebody's home than pay for a cubicle. It's simply much more interesting to have a cultural view into another family. We stayed in pensions for our honeymoon and those experiences (particularly in Holland) enriched our lives ever since. Some were simply living courageously with grace, warmth, and dignity.
People mistake a beautiful tourist destination for a place you could actually live. What your coworker would find is there’s no job for him there. One of the defining characteristics of a great tourist destination is usually the lack of industrial development. And the wonderful service is because that’s the only employment the locals can get.
This is leaving aside the issues he’d have trying to be a resident alien.
It is pretty nice in Spain. They have better weather than the Northern European countries. Public transport is excellent. It’s cheaper. And they haven’t had as much mooselimb immigration as German, France, etc al.
For a young person, it must look really appealing. But yes, the USA is still the best, by far for me. Even though, libs are trying like hell to ruin it
Isn’t Spain overrun with Hispanics?
Something similar happened here in Boise a few years ago where the do-nothing liberal mayor started talking about more regulations on Airbnbs.
It didn’t happen, but he got un-elected as a result and now we’re stuck with someone even worse (Lauren McLean, the commie from Boston).
He was there for two weeks, he didn’t learn shit about Spain or how welcome he would be as an American in the long term.
They need all that extra living space for Muslim immigrants
It’s the weather. They have a lovely climate and that along with the charm of the superficial lifestyle and culture, scenery, and antiquity is very attractive to tourists. Long term he would hate it because it’s a socialist country.
I am surprised that Spain is at or near the top of most travel stats and lists. But it does also make me want to go and check it out!
Well, I never been to Spain
But I kinda like the music
Say the ladies are insane there
And they sure know how to use it
They don’t abuse it
Never gonna lose it
I can’t refuse it, mhm
When I was in Spain in 2002, I was amazed how many people DON’T work.
Up partying from 10pm to 5am seems to be the national pastime.
I’m pretty sure it has NOT gotten better since then.
