Madrid: buying Medicine, futon, haircut, and Sillon - 01/12/04 01:39 AM
Hi,
I thought I would throw all in one of posting. I have only been here a week (which ill explain my questions). I lave near Atocha.
I am looking for a cheap place to buy simple medicines, such as Tylenol, contact lens solutions, or cold medicine. Entering the pharmacies is like entering a boutique beauty salon. Near Princesa, I paid 13 Euros for one lousy bottle of RENU solution.
Futon, I am sleeping on a bed sized for a 12 year old girl (I am a 45 year old man). I am thinking a Queen-sized futon would be heavenly. ANy suggestions?
Haircut? My Spanish is not bad, but the language of the haircut, can be tricky. I was butchered in Italy way back when. Any suggestions? I am open to any reasonable price is.
Finally, I am looking for a sillon/Laxy-Boy-Recline/Morris Chair--something to relax in all by myself and kick the feet up. Looking for comfort not fashion. My Morris Chair at home is perfect, however, (a) it is not here and (b) I am looking to spend that much money.
I am heading for IKEA today (Jan 12th), but any of you have alternative suggestions, I am interested.
Thanx!!
