Madrid
Fell in love with Madrid for 3 main reasons: warmth of its people, it hasn't been fully 'globalized' (i.e. i only saw 2 McD's & 1 Starbucks), and excellent shopping. I can write volumes about the Spaniards just from my 2 day visit, but what i am really wondering at is did they become like us or did we become like them as the result of our Andalucian occupation?
Observations:
Children everywhere, they dont sleep.
Women: Over weight is ok, very hairy, beautiful hair, wear no make up or too much.
Men: Staring at asses and prolonged eye contact, gentlemen (open doors)
They automatically think you're Spanish & think you're chicken nuggets if you don't speak back in Spanish.
The airport looks like Kuwait International Airport, 1978.
On a national holiday (yesterday) EVERYTHING is closed.
Siesta is a serious issue (ildeera kilaha itgayel).
My client (owner of a huge retail group) wanted to meet at 12 a.m., not even apologizing for the time, and he is not a rude man, nor is he a perv.
Other Observations:
I want to marry an Italian. Any half breeds out there?

Madrid does rock, I really need to go back and spend more time there. I know a great place to get a haircut considered one of the hippest in the area if your intrested.
What I love about Madrid/Spain that siesta is organized, it is all shutdown and then they make up for it late at night. I would love to have meetings around that time since I am very much a night person.

If you want to marry an Italian, why look for a half breed? either you take the whole package or you choose something else. Besides Italians are momma's boys, so what you will end up with is the same as you would end up with if you married here.
As for your observations on Madrid, they did not become like us, they have always been that way.

Tel 91 523 36 49
C Perez Galdos,

It is a really hip place call to make an appointment cause they get full, but if you go there you may get lucky and there is a person with a no show.

Gooner, a linguist once told me that Spanish has 7000 Arabic words!
If i can go back in time, i wish i could be an andalucian muse. Not too ambitious I know, but it sounds so romantic!

Princess A: ummm the Italians are Roman Catholic so I hope he understands. Or just tell him you're the Pope's niece ;)
I'll take Gemaizeh over Ashrafieh any day. It reminds me of NY's Lower East Side. I've been to each of the places listed in that article, and Torino Express is owned by an old college friend and her husband.
Sheba, my mother always said we only taught Spaniards to sleep in the afternoons...
ديرة تنام الظهر ما فيها خير
I respectfully disagree with her ;-)

Sheba,
I mentioned that you took my comment and twisted it in your own way in a comment, so why repeat what is said before?
