The Minsky Moment

I do like Spain and I could almost agree with Iormland's friend were it not for the fact that Spanish cooks have this strange compulsion to put pieces of pork into everything.

The Marranos are gone guys, and no one really cares anymore anyways.  You can lay off Miss Piggy now.

We do love pork. Especially iberian ham. I have some with pretty much everything, yes. In fact there's some in the lentils I'm eating right now. :mmm:

Spain might be my new favorite country...

Going back to the nightlife thing, I'm not sure it's just Spaniards. Why else aren't young Germans filling these positions then instead of moving to Berlin or wherever?

Based on what I've read they've run out of Germans.

Unemployment is very low for Spanish standards, but there's certainly room to improve. Youth unemployment was a bit under 8% IIRC, and there are a LOT of part-time workers.

Seems like Germany. Weren't it for the obnoxious vegetarianism, seems Germans only like pork.

On night life - my friends and I are in our mid-30s. If we come home after 11pm after going out it's pretty unusual. We used to go out till 2, 3 am on weekends a few years ago, though. Those things happen with age.

I guess it's mostly because it's cheaper than beef.

Beef is very expensive indeed there and good beef is not that common.

It does seem like a lack of night clubs is a pretty superficial reason to not do it for a guy who is an aspiring auto mechanic. No offense. I'm resisting the urge to start posting First World Problems and shit.

So, Iorm come to London. You've experience and the language so could get relevant work. I think we've still got an economy. Just about.

I've been to London once and loved it. It'll definitely be on the list if I have to move.

Talked with my doctor for a bit about patients of her that have moved abroad. Apparently the NHS sucks.

The cities have lots of hallal options.

Not interested, according to Marine Le Pen, 100% of the meat in Île-de-France is hallal so I want something different.  :D
Yeah and casher too. Not good for the real boudin noir though ;) Quality pork is something the Germans lack as well.
