Journal #8479

Amazing! It's #3 on my cities to visit list, preceded by Toronto and Sydney.
If your flight stops off in the UK, let me know!

Sorry, but we're probably flying direct. It takes 11 hours to get there from Los Angeles.

I made 500km in 11 hours by train.

Airplanes ftw?

*350km in 2 hours by train. In Spain. You have slow trains

NOW I KNOW WHERE YOU LIVE STU ;PP

Satch: Good for you man I'd love to go there myself

He didn't say he lives in Spain...

Okay then who lives in Spain?

It may have been an example.

Spain sucks in terms of communications. Highways are more than 20 years old with few staff to take care of them, there are only a few airports, trains are almost abbandoned so it is impossible to use them as a practic way of displacement between great cities unless you take the "cercanías" in Madrid which works pretty well, but only for the city of madrid (it is a state-city in fact). The AVE is expensive too. Spain is only worth for holidays and for its culture, the government is oversized, look, there are 400000 politics for 40 million people, it is a proportion of 1 politic for each 10 people, that´s crazy and very expensive, even a simple counselor earns 10 times the money of a qualified worker, and most of the times this counselor is a direct-elected person who has not even studies, only his-her belonging to the party.
