Since March, the country where really has occupied my brain totally is Spain.

I tell you what.. I wasn't interested in Spain at all.

probably I shouldn't have said that like this, because I've never even been there..

But the experience that I has had so far with Spanish gave me idea that 'They don't think or decide by standard of reason / capitalism / mutual-interest(respect).'

And for them the most important thing is 'Am I happy now...? I want to be happy...'

Different perspective... exactly... it was even shocking...because sometimes it seems to look like selfish, amoral, and irrational.

Well, in certain point, they are quite different from Italian, who seems like selfish, amoral, and irrational sometimes...(yeah but please don't misunderstand me, that was the only my first perception before I understand them fully..)

But I think Italian understand capitalism / marketing / money-making any sort of thing... thoroughly, so even they have strong ego towards their own private happiness, it seems so natural to be with whole concept of capitalism ..that sort of things...

So it isn't surprising that Italian is the one of them who has built up their economic wealth in the States with Irish among all the immigrants. (anyway.... happy St.Patrick day...!!! :) have lovely Guiness - but not bubbly..bubbly Guiness is horrible...)

U'know... Italian job... (we've got Italian job platter...kkk..)

On contrary, Spanish who has the same ego towards their own happiness and great cultural asset seems to be different in this point.

I think you can check clearly if you work with Spanish especially in London , where you are being asked to be followed the rule that squeeze their effort aggresively as much as manager can..

Most of the time that could ruin your private happiness or even your health..
Well, I love London, I'm really enjoying my job.

But I think it is true that it is really hard place to live and survive. It offer easy and quick start. (you can get job ..millions of jobs out there... and interesting mixing place...!!)

But you know what... it could be never-ending game... Imagine ten years later you could earn less than £10 an hour without your own house.. (well this situation has been spreading all over the world though..)

Anyway... when Spanish face the situation that they have to do something, which can ruin their happiness, I think quite lot of Spanish don't mind choosing being happiness.

Interesting..but it could be annoying if you work with them (because you might be the one who should work instead of them for covering them.... )

But by standard of happiness.... I think they are the one who care their own happiness so passionately and delicately... so living in Spain when you are retired and old could be brilliant idea.

moreover they have beautiful weather...! That's why their housing markets are boiling now.....

But when I found myself that they could not beat any country by standard of capitalism because of their deep-rooted own character, I wasn't really interested in them.

Admiral Horacio Nelson..he is hero who commanded British fleet in the battle of Trafalgar but also it can't be ignored that Spanish power were shrinking at that times, the late 17C.



Spain had The Empire, great power... but I think they gained that power through easy way ,which just stealing gold/silver from Latin America and conquered them who was not keen on developing military power like European at that times..

so....U'know.... it was piece of cake..

Well.... it is honourable that they were the one in the history in one day...

But could that history can influence anything now...?

And.....I had given up the chance to travel Spain... I wasn't tempted..
Probably I coundn't find anything... yeah....


And .... here comes something...

That terror in Spain... that after that surprising result in their election..

Look at whole Latin America... they are speaking Spanish... even they have bleak forecast financially. (Argentina could go under default again...)

And Samuel Huntington's shocking report - The Hispanic Challenge-



different view... well, thay might build alternative way... they've got potential.

Ask myself again...

But could that history can influence anything now...?

Yeah...well, I have to have a look then... I'll go Spain and see what's going on....
