I love the way other people give this kind of "advice". Like this is true across the board for everyone and for the entire country. What total horseshit.

Spanish natives have told me repeatedly that people in Spain, especially southern Spain, where we're headed, are very friendly.

And we're awesome. ;)

It's gonna be great. It's gonna be what we make it, not what some sour loser says it will be. What a jagoff, as we used to say in Chicago.
