Valencia Facts

If you are above age 40 this post might interest you. If not this post will contain 0 partyparty so you should just move on to the next one

Ten things about spain
1) time
if they have wrist watches in spain you would NEVER know it. No one is ever on time for anything, nothing starts when its suppose to, none of the stores or shops have store hours, and the sun makes 8pm feel like 4 in the afternoon.  Their work schedule is una BROMA(jane--joke) they go to work around ohhh 9am or 10 in the morning leave a 2pm for siesta come back at around 6pm and work till 8.  doesn't that sound soooooo productive?
2) there is no ice anywhere.
and if you find it is most likely because your drink costs 15euros or your buying a 10euro bag of ice. Regardless its like gold
3) Im going to go ahead and say their is no FDA.
 When i had a bad cough my madre gave me 2400mg of advil in 12 hours (in the US we take 1200mg in 24hours) and 2000mg of some other mystery Spanish drug (probably illegal in the US). Totally cured me though, cross your fingers my stomach isn't bleeding and my liver is still functioning by the end of the trip
4) why refrigerate when you can leave it out on the table for days on end? Yummm
whereas at home when we are in question about refrigerating something we err on the side of refridgerating Spanish people say lets just leave it out!  For example. milk is never refridgerated, we currently have ten jugs lined up on the bottom shelve of our pantery....
5)making out
at first we were slightly repulsed by the endless amounts of people making out EVERYWHERE in the water, at the beach, at the park, at a restaurant, on your street corner..... the list goes on.  and its not just like kissing with some tongue, it is like full on groping, rolling around, hard core making out.  i was going to say: then Tory and I kinda got jealous, but actually its still repulsing. Totalllllly can see molly jenner getting into it though...thats a whole other thing
6) Valencia is influenced by French--yah for me!
not really. it actually just complicates the spanish language for me even more.  You come to spain and they have the weird accent already and then Valencia has its own language. I actually don't know why historically their is a French influence here....but some examples are that every street is "Carre" instead of Calle and they call the college "universitat" instead of universidad
7)Boobbbbbbbbbs (and whats attached to them)
if you like them, come to the Valencia beaches on a weekend. there are a plethera of fake ones too if you're into that.  But actually we've noticed that all the girls here are either realllllllllly skinny or not so skinny at all---but everyone seems really comfortable with their own bodies. which is a good thing annnnddd a bad thing. Sorry but I was 80 and 350 pounds i migghtt not frolic gayly in the surf with just thong on.
There isn't much of a style that i have seen expect trashy. Its not the exclusive style but everyone here (men and women) have tatoos, girls where shorts were you literally see their ass cheeks, and lots of see through clothes. Yah for Europe!
8)the family unit is extremly close knit
we're talking our sisters boyfriend spends the night most nights...awk.  Apparently its common to not move out of your house in Spain until your married, so a lot of 30 year olds are reeking havoc on their parents casas.
9)the cats meow in spainsh. its wierd
10) they RAGE--at uva bars close at 2. Valencia some open at 2 or 3.
