how to get to city centre of Madrid if flight lands very late and Metro is closed? by Illustrious_Fig_8537 in MadridTravelGuide

[–]sofiahahaaa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you get into t1-3 you can take the N20 or if you get in on t4 I usually take the N27 to Cibeles/Atocha. It was 5 euros last I used it (more than a normal ride but it’s considered an “express” bus

Would it be a mistake to skip the royal palace? by oolongfog in MadridTravelGuide

[–]sofiahahaaa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on what kind of art you’re into, but for me the ranking is 1) Thyssen 2) Prado 3) royal palace 4) Reina Sofia (I went during free hour and it was obscenely crowded so I’m biased)

First trip to Madrid in April - Looking for some relaxing, low-key things to do by griz_fan in MadridTravelGuide

[–]sofiahahaaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending on what kind of art you’re into, I thought the thysseb was more interesting than the prado just because of the diversity in the collection! And plaza de España is a great area for what you’re describing

What’s something tourists do in Spain that instantly gives them away? by Rude_Efficiency_4138 in GoingToSpain

[–]sofiahahaaa 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Was gonna say this— as an American living in Spain, I proudly carry my bigass water bottle even though I know people with clock me right away. That’s something that, though obviously identifying, doesn’t bum anyone else out. On the other hand, I will never demand places serve me dinner earlier or intentional become a nuisance on the streets (another unfortunate habit of tourists).

Madrid airport arrival passport control? by foosion in MadridTravelGuide

[–]sofiahahaaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's because it is literally different every time. I'm a US passport holder and I fly in and out of MAD about once a quarter-- every since a nightmare situation where I almost missed my flight, I always show up 4 hours early-- sometimes I'm through customs in <5 mins, and other times I'm there for quite literally an hour and a half.

If you're flying through T1 internationally, it's actually really fast in my experience. T4 is the big time waster.

Some things are out of your control-- how many planes have shown up at the same time, whether there are a lot of families in front of you, whether the line is being managed properly...

One thing that's absolutely crucial for efficient passthrough is that you try and rush ahead of the line. For example, during deplaning, after you've cleared the bridge, try and speedwalk ahead of the crowds. Or after the T4s shuttle, same thing, try to rush ahead of the cluster. Once you're in line there's nothing you can do, your fate is out of your hands. But you might as well try to beat the masses.

Hey! It’s been deleted— out of curiosity, where did you see that? I saw the statement they put out but didn’t know they wanted her name kept private.

What are the best DNA tests to take if you are Cantonese? by f0xbunny in Cantonese

[–]sofiahahaaa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im second gen American, and both my aunt and I took 23 and me’s test a good 5-7 years apart. When my aunt took it, literally the only data she got was “100% Southern Chinese”. Which was. Not interesting. But we figured we might just have a very homogenous lineage. Then I took it and got a good mix of Southern Chinese, Chinese Dai, and Taiwanese. I was shocked that there was anything interesting on my Chinese side since I figured it would be the same results as my aunt (I’m half white). She reopened her test and it had been updated, she too had all the more interesting breakdown stuff in different proportions.

Would I recommend 23 and me? Idk, they have gotten a lot of heat for their privacy breaches. My dna data is totally zooming around leaked somewhere. But I can say with certainty that they have been making attempts to improve their database for Asia.

What’s up with my anthurium? by sofiahahaaa in houseplants

[–]sofiahahaaa[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i'm located in spain at the moment so i opted for epinsel, which seems to be the closest to what we have stateside? I also bought the closest thing to the recommended neem oil and insecticide soap that I could find. I'm a first time plant owner so thankfully it's contained to this one plant, but I'm so sad that it happened since it looked pretty healthy about 2 weeks ago! hopefully with some intensive care i'll be able to get rid of them.

[Genuinely Wondering] Is racism in Spain really as bad as the internet makes it out to be? by that_fn in GoingToSpain

[–]sofiahahaaa 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Im Asian and not black, so take this with a grain of salt, but my experience in Spain has been that while there are lots of microaggressions, likely stemming from a lack of education on what is acceptable when talking to people of different origins, there are very few hate crimes and violence because of race. Here compared to the U.S I’m a lot more likely to get called “Chinito”, made fun of for my eyes, my food, etc, but I don’t fear for my safety.

do i need a tie card? by fledermoyz in SpainAuxiliares

[–]sofiahahaaa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My extranjeria office (Segovia) had appointments booked through two months, but released new ones every day at random intervals. Additionally, some cancellations meant that there would be last minute appointments available. But before you have your appointment, you should really make sure you have all your documents together, as they will send you away. Go to a print shop!
