You know you are from Europe when...

Jag har varit rätt dålig på att blogga på sista tiden. Utan någon speciell anledning alls. Min blogg fyllde ju 3 år i december och under dom åren har jag märkt att det funnits perioder då jag bloggat massor och andra perioder då det gått lite trögare. Så nu tänkte jag fuska och få till en uppdatering med lite fulblogg.

I våras hade jag en kul lista här på bloggen , You know you've lived in Spain when... som till min stora glädje ganska många orkade läsa och uppskatta. Kan rekommenderas. Särskilt alla som besökt Spanien kommer att känna igen sig och skratta mycket.

Idag fick jag en liknande lista från en amerikansk vän i mailen. Kanske inte fullt så rolig och igenkännande som Spanien-listan men bitvis ganska kul.
