Paris=San Diego?

The sad new Europe. The fabled Spanish night life is also a mere memory, at least Sundays to Wednesdays (for unknown reasons, Thursday nights have more life here, in a sort of pre-weekend atmosphere - I guess some people don't work much on Fridays.)

You're obviously in a far better position to judge these things than I, Victor, but in my two visits to Spain this decade I've been struck by the large number of people still out and about at midnight. I suppose that it's all relative, though.

Madrid and Barcelona used to be buzzing (and I mean with traffic jams) until 5 AM, every night of the week. But that's incompatible with being a 9-to-5 European Union member, I guess.

Friday and Saturday remind us of those times, when we were younger and more alive.
 
With 19.8% unemployment, I'm afraid saudade will soon make a successful eastward transition. Then again, black humor being what it is in Spain, we could argue that this means that one out of every five citizens of working age is no longer held to 9-to-5...
 
There is a nut job that lives above Mayahuel (Death and Co's tequila bar) that throws buckets of water on smokers out front. Sad to see Paris going the way of the EV...
 
I think these days, the weather is a little better in San Diego.

As for Berlin, well, in a different way from Paris, but equally incomparable.
