Baby, instant soup doesn't really grab me

Today I need something more sub-sub-sub-substantial

A can of beans or blackeyed peas, some Nescafe and ice,

A candy bar, a falling star, or a reading from Doctor Seuss...

I always lived in cities witth no less than 6 million people... I wonder what it would be to live in a peaceful place like those you live in...

:shocked: My whole country doesn't even have 6 million people!

I found it really wierd in Spain how most people lived in apartments around the main town centre and pretty much no one lived rurally.

I live in Auckland which I'd say would be the most populated city in New Zealand but everything is quite spaced out so we have room to breathe :)

that's because of the historical development of the cities in the "old world"

medieval cities needed to defend themselves, surrounded by walls etc, and once the walls were in place, nobody really wanted to live outiside of them, so of course it was pretty crowded in the cities :)

There´s lots of people who live in the country, in small villages, in houses around town too... ;) not in the city, sure.

I've always tried to avoid the city. I know some people who would never live in a country setting, they have to be in the dead center of all the people. I like the solitude of a less crowded environment.

I like the solitude in the cities on a Sunday at 8 am... or when there´s a soccer match on TV so there´s nobody on the streets.

I love the sound of silence... :cool:

I do that too... :) :) And I love to watch the buildings and the windows with the lights on, and imagine how life must be for the people living there... :cool:

Trouble in Spain is you find so many people on the streets at night... this town barely sleeps... :P

Barely sleeps? Does Madrid ever ever sleep? I'm pretty sure we went out on a Thursday night and it seemed like a Saturday night because so many people were out there. Mind you we were apparently in quite a 'rough' area...and it doesn't seem to me like the Spanish sleep a lot wherever they live.

Well ,they made such a mess of the last try ... I just thought maybe they'd wanna redeem themselves ...:) I also think they'd have the element of surprise on their side , as well ! :laughing:

Posted

the last try? wasn't that in the 16th century with the Great Armada? :P

well on the other hand that should have given them time enough to work out a good invasion plan :laughing: :laughing:

NEVER ! - all those monkeys are gold ! - and , you have to keep out the U-boat ( unterseeboaten ) traffic ... ( Ahhh , 'Das Boat' - my favorite war movie ! ) :)

Now, this has nothing to do with Gibraltar nor anything like that. I need to hire a killer, a mercenary, I googled but couldn´t find. Do you know where I can find one? or maybe I should post this in the Q&A thread? :cool:
