VIVA LA SPAIN!

The reason for my lack of updating was I had to see a client in Spain. This was my VERY FIRST EVER time on a plane and I was really, really scared! :)

I've added a Costa Blanca wallpaper section to the site now.

I have to mention this while I think of it. We all went out for a meal on Friday and had a Chinese. I had menu "A" which consisted of a glass of wine, 3 course meal (spring roll, sweet & sour chicken, fried rice and ice cream), glass of beer and a after meal drink. The cost for all of that came to... 3.40UKP. THREE POUND FORTY?? Oh my God, I want to live there :)
In case you think I lie here is the bill :)



I was staying near Guardamar in Spain and I really loved it there. The people were really friendly, most things were very cheap and it has made me realise just how badly taxed this country is. Because I'm a web designer it would be easy for me to live there very well on the income I get from the web sites. I am seriously thinking of moving away from Torbay which I didn't think I'd ever say. The cost of living in this country just gets worse and worse and worse. I'm fed up being charged London taxes on a Devon Salary. I really can see why so many get work abroad :(

The other things I loved about it:

1. How clean it was - no bubblegum stuck to the floor, no litter and the beaches get cleaned even at this time of year.

2. How safe it was - You see kids running about everywhere and they know they are safe. Child sex crimes are unheard of there.

3. The people - Everyone was so nice.

4. The treatment - We went into one Spanish bar and ordered 3 drinks. Next thing I know we have a plate of crisps and mussles in front of us. This is unheard of treatment in this country.

5. Cost of living - Sooooooo much better than taxation Britain.

Things I didn't like:

1. erm.......
2. hmmmm....
3. ermmmm
4. I give up
