Spanish people like to describe Madrid as ‘canalla‘. It’s an untranslatable word. It can be like ‘swine, underhanded, naughty’, with both negative and positive meanings. You just have to walk around the city for few hours, and you will probably end up with two or three funny anecdotes: Maybe some eccentric character stopped you in the street and told you something inusual, or maybe some elder told you her inheritance problems with her sister at the underground, ore maybe some guy offered you a personal poem in exchange for money.
Madrid is a secure and social city, and that makes the capital of Spain unique, just because security fact is usually associated with personal isolation.
This is an example of what gives to Madrid the canalla‘s meaning, it happened to me yesterday: I was alone, walking down Montera’s street, a famous street full of prostitutes (don’t imagine Montera as a suburb-street, it’s situated in the most expensive neighborhood, at the center of the city) when some girl stopped me, and without saying anything she started to caress my cheek looking at my eyes, and she said:
- ‘I would suck your cock for free!’
As the contrary as you might think, I felt flattered, and I apologized saying to her ‘Sorry, I’m gay‘, and I continued my way with a smile.
That only could happen to you! =D
By the way, I don’t like Madrid. Too impolite… Or is it maybe the whole country? I don’t know, but this country is full of jerks. If it wasn’t for the technological development, we would probably be hanging on trees and fighting for bananas…
You should have bore in Burgos, and then die of politeness and falseness. You don’t know what you’ve got until you lose it!
CH-O-CH-O
