Liveblog: 1st Cultural Pre-port to Cadiz, Spain
20:02 hrs --We begin!
20:03 hrs -- It's going to be a panel between our 2 interport students, the interport lecturer, Augustin & Tammy, and Maria Lopez-Solas.
20:04 -- Serrat? The greatest Spanish songwriter. Didn't know that. Have to get the cd now, or download on itunes.
20:06 -- There are 27 countries in the European Union. Wowzer. Spain joined in 1996.
20:07 -- I had NO IDEA there was such an overarching hierarchical structure to the EU! Clearly, I can't afford to nap anymore in global studies.
20:09 -- Spain is a decentralized democracy. There are "autonomic communities" there that operate quite separately from the central gov. Maybe they we can hook something like this up for the US.
20:15 -- Multi-party system of Spain is best explained by dueling professors with different beliefs! Is the King of Spain a nice guy or the devil? We'll never know.
20:17 -- Spanish is not the only language spoken in Spain. Cattalan, basque, Majorca, etc... these are apparently all acknowledged, but controversy still exists.
20:19 -- Empanadas! I have plans for those. That and tapas. Get ready, baby!
20:21 -- Queso manchevo (yum!) Paella rocks. It has chicken and rabbit OR seafood. Don't pay more than 10 euros per person for a plate of Paella! Forewarned is forearmed.
20:24 -- Doggy bags are a no-no in Espana, apparently. It's about as polite as peeing on the floor.
20:25 -- Ensaimadas... creamy cake dessert. Jamon is apprently orgamically delicious. In the finest hams, the pigs are raised on a 100% oak nut diet. I wonder if I will go into anaphylaxis from one bite... according to them, it is worth braving death to try.
20:27 -- Wine! Vino! Spanish vintages are famous. And I will be too after I get done. Deportment IMMINENT.
