Hi,
I've read some of your messages regarding americans. I just want to tell you a couple of things. First, most of the people here are americans, so there is no way that you are going to "win".
Second, althought this is a board about Spain the opinion of Spaniards are not valuable here. I read posts about many topics and I saw Spaniards saying "in Spain you can wear anything you want" and 5 minutes later yo see 5 posting of AMERICANS saying that is not true. Of course the went there for a month and they think they know more than a Spaniard who lived there for 30 years.
This is a message board for Americans don't bother trying to educate them you are wasting your time.
