Pros and Cons of living in Spain

Things will be added as my time goes on. I was just thinking about this the other day in regards to the US.

Pros:
  • People don't rush here as much. Time is valued but going fast isn't important
  • The waiters don't come check on you every 18 seconds and aren't trying to rush you out of a restaurant
  • Beautiful, old, very historical
  • Business settings are more relaxed and people get to spend time with their families
  • Travel within the Eurozone is extremely easy/inexpensive
  • Plazas galore
  • SANGRIA.
  • The views. Everywhere in Toledo and Madrid is beautiful.
  • Siesta time every day...enough said!
Cons
  • SMOKING. ugh. so many people smoke.
  • Not many people speak English here at all.
  • The exchange rate right now. It's killing me.
  • Not much AC, at least where we are
  • Slower internet, again where we are
  • Ke$ha still plays here. Somehow.
