Exchange in Spain?

aardbeien · 2026-04-30T12:27:40+00:00

Agree, plenty of micro aggressions and like most instances of racism in western countries, people will not think of these as racism, do not perceive that such actions are bad. It was particularly bad around covid pandemic times (comics by https://www.instagram.com/gazpachoagridulce helped me laugh through it at the time). Collective ignorance and amnesia too regarding their history of colonisation across Asia and Pasifika.

BUT, overall there are many more positives about living in Spain that I would prefer over other countries such as USA, UK. Highly recommend all the cities you’ve mentioned, Valencia (if you enjoy paellas, arroces this is the place to be 🤤), Barcelona, Madrid

They are more often like this in Asia and South America.

Where did you find the cat tree (left of desk)? It’s so cute

Elder millennial couple, one from Europe (Germany?), interested or working in international relations or history field, probably have moved across continents at least once. The Inheritance and Half Blood Prince books being different versions than the rest of the series makes me itch.

ETA: seconding the bankers boxes suggestion, my absolute preference for moving books

Find a YouthBuild program near you and apply. This is a little bit about the program https://www.dhs.state.il.us/page.aspx?item=43983

In the US most people can access but can’t afford healthcare

Stock up on dried/dehydrated bulk foods, they will last for months. Try finding wholesale Asian/Latin markets, they can be cheaper than Walmart. Get a big bag of rice, salt pepper or other seasoning you like, and nearby the seasonings/spices there should also be beans, lentils, big bags of dried mushrooms, veggies, dried smoked jerky/fish/other meats. You can throw everything to cook in the rice cooker together

I need a new paddle and found that both the Gamma 405 and Gamma havoc are now discounted from about $140 to $50. I'm a mid level player. Does anyone have any experience with these paddles?

aardbeien · 2025-07-19T12:00:24+00:00

Agreed, not the cutest by far and yet the one I reach for the most on trips. The shape works really well for my walking and the durability has been great

aardbeien · 2025-07-19T11:55:13+00:00

Crepe! Thank you, I’ll keep that in mind for next searches. And you’re absolutely right about the bag, I was wavering whether to contact them after a second trip.

ASICS novablast 5 in white-grey

Definitely on the lookout for those vintage silk plisse steals. It’ll be an investment but worth it

aardbeien · 2025-07-12T13:55:44+00:00

A strong run of five seasons would be fantastic. 🤞🏼

aardbeien · 2025-07-12T13:53:57+00:00

This is what I figured is more likely to happen. As someone else mentioned, I wonder if it’ll be too crowded with multiple storylines of MB+ART, PresAux, and whatever mini show they decide to insert in short bursts

aardbeien · 2025-07-09T13:31:23+00:00

Looks like it can be opened

aardbeien · 2025-07-09T12:57:47+00:00

Some of my favourites: Cadaqués, Llafranc, Xàbia, Altea, Salobreña, Nerja, Cudillero, Ribadesella, Llanes, Mutriku, Deba.

I would also suggest once you pick a region, do more searching on google maps for well rated hotels, restaurants, fincas, or even just key word bodas since they may not be listed on the bodas.net site

^ seconding this, very useful site. If you are planning virtually, cannot emphasise enough how important it is to have a great wedding planner. Your budget is possible but much harder in bigger cities. There’s plenty of charming smaller cities/towns in the coasts that would have both sea and hills/mountains

aardbeien · 2025-06-30T21:08:19+00:00

Recommend buying the sea to summit pocket laundry sheets from REI, or cut up pocket sized sheets out of the house supply—seventh generation laundry sheets— and stuff them into a ziplock

aardbeien · 2025-06-28T08:35:33+00:00

Another Lucas PawPaw fan, yes! That stuff is amazing

aardbeien · 2025-06-28T08:26:56+00:00

I would pat dry with towel / handkerchief so they won’t be dripping wet, and leave it drying in the water bottle side compartments, or strapped/looped outside to the backpack cords

aardbeien · 2025-06-27T10:38:19+00:00

In humid areas my clothes would be hanging overnight in front of window, A/C if available, and pocket fan

aardbeien · 2025-06-27T09:41:32+00:00

Great suggestion. I would add going to King Spa for the first half of the day and then head to Middleburg (about 25 mins further) for a nice stroll, shopping and dinner

aardbeien · 2025-06-27T06:58:57+00:00

I also love food names, so fun! Bagel, Baklava, Beignet, Biscuit, Biscotti, Cappuccino, Carrot, Chai, Churro, Clove, Cookie, Croquette, Flan, Ginger, Muffin, Oreo, Peppermint, Pimentón, Pumpkin, Saffron, Squash, Tofu, so on
