Spendo Comes to Europe

[luka]

Berlin and Barcelona are the two worst cities I've been to I think.

 

[luka]

Barcelona for the ugliness Berlin for being cursed. I've not been to the north of England or to North and South America though

 

[sus]

Mexico City is lovely you should do a tab and walk around the Romas/Condesa, the Bosque

 

[luka]

do they speak english? i absolutely hate being places where they dont speak english, have english menus, street signs etc

 

[luka]

Europe is good now becasue they all speak english as a first language. the 'native' languages are basically curios kept alive by the state, like Welsh in Wales.

 

[sus]

More or less, you'll get by fine in the wealthier districts.

Tropical warm open-air architecture a touch of European colonial, unbelievable museums, the food of course incredible, affordable, big cafebrerias where you can work all day, some art & music happenings, weird bookshops and flea markets stretching miles

...Have you not eaten Mexican food?

not really. ive been to a resturaunt here that is supposed to be good. it was ok but too resturaunty, small portions and polite flavours. we dont have mexican food here really.

 

[woops]

shame it's so far from our isles

 

[luka]

anyway they cook everything in lard which i cant eat as a high level brahmin. but i'd go there.... im not prejudice. terrible music though

 

[sus]

All the more reason to go. An entire continent of cuisine to experience—beans of every variety, cactus, avo, pappers, a thousand New World crops—maize, lime-soaked cheese-covered maize, green and red tomatoes.

 

[sus]

It's true the street food and many restaurants heavy in lard, but plenty of places you can go without that

 

[sus]

Last time I was in Berlin (2017) I dropped a big tab of 1-P in Tiergarten, saw Lou Reed in a urinal.

I'm actually not big on Mexican food TBH... But people say they love it. Very popular over here.
