Cultural issues I miss from my country!

There are a lot of things that I miss from Spain not material things, specially cultural and weather issues as my car, It's Spanish thing to have a car before a flat, and in northern Europe and so used to cycling or efficient public transport, with less traffic on the streets, I miss driving my car.

The Sun, that Spain is the country of the sun seems a topic, but the Spaniards that we have moved more to the north of Europe know that it is true. And sometimes you miss living with so much clear sky.

Tap water, because in Spain, although little, we have one of the best tap water in Europe (although it depends on the regions, specially in Málaga where I live.

The elevators, by not building such tall buildings in northern Europe, or being of old construction, most buildings do not have an elevator. And sometimes, it is missed.

The bathtubs,those damn but practical shower trays that are on the student floors. It is not that I use them much, but the space for showering increases and can be given several uses, such as putting boxes of beer to be cooled.

Sunglasses: Northern Europe is more cloudy. Much more cloudy. In South Spain sunglasses are so necessary that in the end they became part of me and synonymous with good weather. And that's why I miss it

Spanish symbols, it will not be exactly glamorous Spanish, but having grown up surrounded by certain symbols such as bulls, flamencorro, etc. it makes a strange morriña has arisen by not having them around.

The wine: of course I do not touch a bottle unless it comes from Spain, and therefore you have to pay the extra transport. The maximum that the Erasmus in Finland could aspire is a disgusting quarrel for € 5!

See in the distance: where I live now I only see the next building, and even when there is a park there are no mountains. It is a certain oppressive environment that does not occur in Spain, where mountains, sea and hills are what dominate the landscape. And it's nice.

Do not carry anything: This is the worst thing from Finland, outside Spain the normal thing - even in the summer - is to carry something with you: a backpack or cloth bag with things like a cardigan because then it's cold, an umbrella because it's likely to rain later, etc. In short, some type of bag that is carried "just in case" or because you know that you will probably change the time. And that, in Spain, is not necessary. It gives freedom. It's nice to know that everything is fine.

The Spanish time zone: In my opinion the worst thing about life in Finland is the suntime due to the fact that in autumn I haven´t seen the sun! 

To be done so late at night gives life during the winter, autumn and spring. And in summer it gets dark before in the north and center of Europe.  Did you know that foreigners also love the Spanish time zone? Of course, having them at night at 3:00 p.m.-4p.m. in winter ...
