Fortunatly I lived in other places but I can't wait to leave again. I guess for a local is not that bad (specially about the druggies that is not like that). Mostly we are boring nice people, honest and no crime at all, but everything about the buildings, comerce, city council, the bridge, and everything it is true. One of the worst towns in Catalonia (was second large in Catalonia before Barcelona in the Medieval Age), so do not lose your time in visit it, it doesn't worth it. I apologize for the rudeness of any locals that you found, but I assure you that is because we are close minded and mostly we say:"English?pfff" Hopefully, new generations are changing this point of view. Hope next time find a nicer town (not difficult :p)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8311151968716514867.post-20692404075415203832010-12-09T04:50:36.421-08:002010-12-09T04:50:36.421-08:00Twilight zone is a good way of putting it. There ...Twilight zone is a good way of putting it. There is a lovely pedestrian bridge there as well, medieval, one side ends on a highway with no verge at all, the other? at the base of (really) low income housing and a piece-work/ sweat-shop style work place, so as you come down the bridge you look into all these apartment/workplaces. A bridge from nowhere to somewhere worse.<br /><br />Weird.orenetahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10616103982088424715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8311151968716514867.post-44323710676638822922010-12-09T04:43:54.409-08:002010-12-09T04:43:54.409-08:00Sounds like you spent the day in the Twilight Zone...Sounds like you spent the day in the Twilight Zone.

We once drove into the wilds of Suffolk on Mother's day and could not find anywhere that wasn't fully booked and doing big old Sunday lunches. We ended up going to a shop and buying a pork pie and some crisps. You live and learn!<br />The police here didn't cover themselves with glory when the G20 was in London. One poor guy dead and nobody seems to be culpable for it.Boo and Trevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02180278448934122491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8311151968716514867.post-70838023173295721252010-12-07T23:30:29.501-08:002010-12-07T23:30:29.501-08:00Hear, hear (re: bad TO police behaviour).

Some of them seem to get overstimulated by it (note the pounding leg), others will drool the day away. I'm guessing the Chuckmeister is in the latter category.Kimhttp://thebodhichicklet.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
