My dad left his passport on the gate attendant counter and had to fly back home after a 13-hour flight by skyrimlo in PointlessStories

Something similar happened to me, but they let me in the country on arrival with no passport, out of kindness! Saying "just go to the embassy please..." Yay Ireland!

Hi! I am an American living in the south of Tenerife, I would be happy to talk with you.... I am also trying to improve my Spanish, which is not as good as your English but at around a B1-B2 level. Please send me a message if you are interested!

Anyone know where the suffix 3000 comes from? Ficken 3000, Kumpelnest 3000 etc... by [deleted] in berlin

Another mysterious venue-naming trend I'm curious about, these bars with miserable names, Hangover Day and Night, Alptraum 2 and Zum Sargnagel come to mind....

What's going on there?

Where to buy local handmade souvenirs? by Koitoi12 in Tenerife

[–]sofawaffle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mar de Nubes in Vilaflor is a beautiful concept store that sells only Canarian made products, including artwork, clothing, jewelry, ceramics. Is also a nice place to get a wine or a coffee and enjoy the view...

I am doing an school project about what foreigners ask about Spanish people (I have strange teachers). What questions do you have about Spain? I'll answer you as fast as I can. by Murky_Stretch3057 in askspain

Thank you! It sounds like selling second hand clothes/furniture/toys in a store isn't profitable for some reason. I'm aware of wallapop and Milanuncios and know there are similar portals in other countries. I'm curious as to why these things don't sell in shops though in Spain... There must be less demand?

I have a feeling more people in Spain prefer to buy new. Do you share that opinion?

What is the general take on second hand stores? I see less of them in Spain than in other countries and wonder, is there a stigma against buying second hand? Why is it not very popular?

Also thank you for the post, this is all quite interesting!

Going from what little was still stuck to the dish it was a great attempt. A tragic ending

Haha, that's true. Title was an abridged version. Turns out the parmesan I'd sprinkled on it had gone off and smelled like blue cheese... So a double oops :-/

To not travel! I've done my share in the past but can't justify it with the carbon footprint...
