Yes, yes, yes, yes... and yes. I love Spain. It's my second favourite country.

In fact, your city is one of my favourite places that I've ever been to, Black Corsair. Absolutely LOVE Palma.

Albatross wrote:The British Museum, and the Lake District are both excellent shouts.

Queen, The Sex Pistols

Ooh, and Stiff Little Fingers. . .

Just off the top of my head.

Fixd.

These are MY favourite things, remember? Not a fan of 'ver Maiden or Stiff Little Fingers, sorry.

Funny... our musical scene are so awful that some people (me included) we have to look to toher countries to find something decent...

I liked that Spanish chappy that did the reggaeton Eurovision spoof thing - I found that quite amusing.

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens.
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens.
Brown paper packages tied up with strings.
These are a few of my favourite things.

just think it was chosen by .net XDD the "artist" is a Spanish humorist that was challenged to do this, and he didn't expected to go so far!!!

It was quite funny - I never knew the Spanish had such a keen sense of irony.

Depends what you like. There's a good indie scene in Mallorca - I used to drum in a band there. Is Cultura Club still open? On the Paseo Maritimo? That was a cool bar.

I like that by working hard and smart you can do anything you want and make anything of yourself.

And if you don't you remain a bogan.

still open... i don't go usually over there.... but as far as i know, still open... i'm a metalhead, so you can imagine why i said that

I love how different America is. If I get really board of the way Michigan is, I can drive in pretty much any direction but up, and eventually Ill run into something totally different then the landscape up here. This country is just FULL of beautiful things.

And Im sure its like this all over the world, but I love how if your doing a hobby or at an event with a group of strangers, everyone seems to just really get along. I know when I go mud boggin/trailing, that a total stranger will strike up a conversation and its totally fine. Ive gotten stuck (pretty bad at times) and just a random person will pop by and help me get out and vise versa. Its great


Oh and Chinese food

9. Healthcare (broken but free)
10. Can go from 40 degrees celicius to -40 degrees celcius
11. Wolverine (He's Canadian)
12. Wooley Rhinos
13. Newfies (They are like fairies but with an accent)
14. We have a lot of water. In fact we have ALL of the water.
15. Our beer
16. Our whiskey
17. Our televison rules allow swearing and nudity
18. The Shat
19. Tree ents
20. Penicillin

Lots of things, the US offers a plethora of benefits and attractions...off the top of my head though, my city:

Drop that dumpster fire Amy Winehouse and you've got yourself a hell of a collection there!

Please don't attach non wargaming pictures to Dakka, use image tags/similar please.

Not in this order:

-Francesinha (either Poveira/Especial, or the typical Porto one)
-"Vinho do Porto" (Port Wine )
-"Caldo Verde"
-"Vida universitária" (The Student's life)
-Fado
-The beautiful cities, villages, and locations we have.
-My own people.
-Some of our traditions.
-Craftsmanship.
-The welcome and nearly-always friendly visitors. I've met people from all over the world, eager to learn and share (and always surprised a good cold SuperBock is 1€ or even less! Especially the Brits!)

And heated up red wine with sugar and honey for those cold nights, with heavy rain 'n lightning pouring outside!

Ah, do you go to that club in El Terreno? Can't remember what it's called... It's like, underground. In fact it may even be CALLED 'Underground'....

I prefer Black Cat, personally....

Hey, good call. I'd forgotten about that.
May I also add the Museum of Natural History and Imperial War Museum to the list?

The former especially, it has dinosaurs.

I like all the ale.

I think thats about it.

Ummmm, what? You kidding me....I pay $3.35 a gallon for gas and pay $995 a month for a STUDIO. I live in a nice area, but the cost of living is completely out of wack with wages and the current economic climate.

Another tidbits are that ciggs cost almost 7 bucks a pack, which is a huge reason I stopped smoking tobacco.

Wow. You need to move mate. I own my own house, and I pay a 3rd of that, and Im in a pretty decent area. Its not posh or anything but still. And gas here is around $2.80ish depending on how bad they want to rape us

Depends on what State doesn't it? I went to San Fran this year and was dissapointed to see most things were actually more expensive than Canada after conversion.

Around here even a complete shithole apartment that literally has "Do not drink water from the pipes here or you will get poisoned" signs in the hallway still costs around $800 a month. People seem to think that by raising the mandated minimum wage you will NOT increase the basic cost of living. It blows my mind how monumentally stupid people are.

In Latvia, gas is about $1.60 a liter. Thats about 6 or 7 bucks a gallon. So, twice as much as what you're paying. Stuff in the US is almost always cheaper, regional prices may vary but overall, the US is cheaper.
