Oh my god, all the old school members are making their way back here, bit by bit! Welcome back @TheArsenal4Life . Man it’s been almost a good decade since you were a regular around these blocks I’d say. I remember you used to post a lot when TheGFP was about. How time has really flown since then.
Gosh, I wonder who else will suddenly make their way onto OA next?!
Yeh it’s pretty mental just make sure you don’t call anyone a food typical from their country or tell anyone how convenience stores are called in Barcelona.
Jokes aside, it’s actually about the most useful tip you could give, never know when you’ll need the services of your most nearby CENSORED and you’re about 500x more likely to be understood asking where the nearest CENSORED is than asking where the nearest tienda de alimentación is, a question that would only provoke very strange, inquisitive looks should you happen to pronounce it correctly in the first place.
Not bitter at all tbh, being banned for saying what a convenience store in Barcelona is called and running into a self-proclaimed linguistic phenomenon of a Bulgarian are two of the funniest interactions I’ve had with foreigners in all my life, and all that without having to wade through the euro trash at a touristic location in Madrid or Barcelona, all from the comfort of my own home
No doubt. Beautiful city but between the bad smell and the catalans (an internecine issue), meh, could drop a CENSURED on those CENSURED CENSURED…over to you Dani C. Up the Arzenal.
