Fear & Loathing on Las Ramblas

Sometimes, the shit that goes down on The Ramblas is better than TeeVee!

A little background: first I passed Mayor Hereu giving an interview to for television cameras. He looked rather defensive… as if he were trying to dodge the blame for the present state of The Ramblas. I took out my camera to film it, but he had some mean-looking security guys giving me VERY mean looks, and my courage shrunk up inside me like tiny little vestigial testicles and I put the camera away.

Immediately afterward I encountered the bowler-hatted guiri hater. Staged for the benefit of the mayor?

Then after that, these people. A welcome contrast.

I’ll keep my comments to myself until I hear yours.

    El hombre parece un personaje de Tintín. No sé que le habrán hecho los guiris, pero en realidad no puedo evitar quedarme con lo del indio masónico. Jajaja es una confusión muy grande.

    About the zulu thing, I found it very interesting. You’re right, but our culture is trampling and blinding us Spaniards. I mean, you’re right, I see you’re point, and at the same time, I won’t see it eve if I look at it for a thousand years. It’s confusing and hard to explain

    Hmm there’s some Spanish politics I’m not up to date with here, but if your Mayor needs Rotweilers to protect himself then I smell foul cheese. In Australia none of our Mayors use bodygaurds even if they are in a defensive position with the media.
    Hell, we can even heckle our Prime Minister (President) while wearing a chicken suit and his bodygaurds only make sure we don’t get to close but they don’t give us threatening looks.

    Best country in the world, Australia.
