Hey john,
Splendid plan writing a blog. I look forward to your postings. One thing is assured when you a ‘nativo’ in Spain something anecdotal always happens to you. These are gems of experience that others may find humourous, annoying, useful or maybe motivational but never leave anyone disinterested. Good plan batman.
Hi Terri,
Many thanks for the encouragement. It should be lots of fun, and I am already learning just by doing (especially with all the accents). Belén has already told me that a guiri is one who wears hats on the wrong day — guilty as charged! And, I shall have to interview you soon, the star of El Taxi de Maxi. Besos, Juanito.
