Wow! One of the BEST nights of my life! Yesterday was the parade and Spain vs Paraguay game. Spain wins!!! Yo soy Espanol Espanol Espanol! Yo soy Espanol Espanol Espanol! They shut down the busiest street in Madrid Gran Villa (i think) and they have drinking in the streets. Everyone buys their own alcohol (we got Sangria) and you can buy it at the Chino (stores run by Chinese people that sell everything from snacks, alcohol, fans, and individual cups). Then you pour your drinks in your cup and party in the street. Everyone had their flags on and horns blaring. They had two different concerts going on. Kylie Manogue was at the bigger one, but it was soooo crowded there! There are also Chinese people who sell beer at night from their roller coolers (during the day they also sell fans and umbrellas). We ended up taking our party to some club, where there was a 10€ cover, and some how we didn´t have to pay (leave it to Casanova). They played a mix of Spanish music and old american music like Barbie Girl, If You Wanna Be My Lover, ect. They also played Lo que paso paso (which I love!)
Danielle just reminded me that when we were at lunch yesterday a bird landed on her head!!! Ha! I am going to miss sitting on terraces and taking our sweet time eating and socializing. This is our last day in Madrid. Sooo..here is some knowledge that I have learned to pass to you.
Two kisses
It´s not considered offensive to refer to stores that are owned and run by Chinese people Chinos or call gay people ´´the gays´´
Sometimes you have to be more agressive to get on the Metro
Get a purse with a zipper and a flap and wear it across your body
They don´t really enjoy when you don´t give them exact change
If you don´t understand Spanish...don´t reply with Como? Just say you don´t speak spanish lol
I´m sure there are more...but here are some pics from the last day or two
