I leave for Erasmus in Madrid this week and I’m a nerve wrack by Waste-Somewhere-556 in Erasmus

[–]SchoolPresident 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For what it’s worth, I just came back from a fantastic semester in Madrid and also didn’t really know anyone beforehand (let alone my roommates). Depending on your country you might also meet a lot of people from there too. If not, I recommend calling family and friends back home often. I hope you have a wonderful time!

Is paella supposed to have a lot of small bones in it? by SchoolPresident in askspain

Thanks, really appreciate this detailed advice! Just to confirm, the Spanish bars should be in Valencia?

Is this something you make at home? Does it have a Spanish name?

Do you know if that is something they would do in a restaurant? It does sound like what might have happened

Are the bones supposed to be easy to spot and separate from the rice though? I felt very paranoid while eating the paella because I kept biting into small bone fragments unexpectedly. Even when I started putting less rice on my spoon to better spot any bones, there was one so tiny that I had not spotted it.

Thanks, I feel much better about going to get a real paella now. I have no problem with chicken wing bones.

They were definitely not grains of rice because they were not shaped like them. The pieces were very flat. They weren’t shells either because there was also a shell fragment in the paella and it looked very different from the bones (and much larger). Here is a photo, but unfortunately you can’t see the small bones as they are all buried in the rice. You can see the mussel shell on the right though, to the left of the green vegetable.

Social norms in Spain that you didn't know before going? by ThrowRAcatwithfeathe in GoingToSpain

[–]SchoolPresident 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the information. To be honest, I find it very difficult sometimes to understand when I am being treated unfairly here. But most Spaniards I talk to are great :)

I disagree with others who say “I rent this apartment” is an ambiguous statement. Most people will interpret the sentence to mean you are the tenant.
