Madrid Conventions

I am a Spaniard living in America. As much as I love the exchange rate in America compared to the Euro, I have to say I defiantly miss my home town in Madrid. It’s the little things I miss like walking down the street, everyone knowing your name, and waving a friendly hello even if they don’t. In New York things couldn’t be more different, people always seem to be in a hurry, they barge past without even an excuse me, and people are packed on the sidewalks like sardines.

I used to complain about Madrid when I lived there, but now I can appreciate how fantastic it really was. I have to be here for another 6 months, my work has sent me over to open a new office, and then I can return to the Madrid branch. I am counting the days off on my calendar, next time an opportunity like this presents itself, I will make sure I don’t volunteer!
