Via Laietana

This is the street that my hotel is on, as you can see it stays pretty busy the majority of the time which is both invigorating and exhausting. Now that the 'honeymoon stage' is over with, I've decided to write out some of the experiences and questions I've been faced with on a daily basis:
1. Its a requirement to sing 'Bechamel (Besame) Mucho' whenever making Bechamel.
2. If you want Mexican food that isn't spicy, come to Spain and eat it.
3. Whats with all the birds? ick.
4. Why is it that accomplishing simple everyday tasks require double the usual effort?
5. Why do tourists have to be so....touristy?
6. Everytime we go to the market with Jonas I can see excerpts of Mr. Mom in the back of my mind (Erv...clean up on aisle 4)
7. Why do I have to mentally force myself to write the day before the month on product at work? (21/6 vs 6/21)
8. FYI: if you happen to see DaVinci Code with Spanish subtitles, it helps to understand French.
9. Should I be worried that me and Jonas have the same favorite tv show in the mornings? (but the theme song is so catchy ;)
10. I can appreciate the principle of keeping food rustic and traditional....however....if I eat one more bite of Bacalao (Cod) that is full of bones, I might just go psycho on it.
11. If Spanglish is Eng/Spa, then what would you call English.Spanish.French with a side of Italian?
12. Note to self: coffee comes after dessert, not with it.
13. Is it absolutely necessary to add canned tuna to every salad? I mean really.
14. Public transportation, hmm. Think I'll just walk.
15. Como se dice....you knew I didn't speak Spanish when you hired me.
16. Why do Spaniards have to be so....Spanish?
17. Did you really just make a slushy out of gin and tonic, add a canel of lemon gelado on top, AND you are all drinking it on the line DURING service?
18. Cataluyna is not Spain.
19. Yea...converse are in.
20. If someone hands you an open bag and says "backpack" it means they want you to cryo-vac it shut. (which is fun in a way, not gonna lie)
