galicia
all those who come here to visit me say the same….and i loved it too at the beginning. The two downsides are the climate, which can really affect someone who wants to retire in Mooloolaba, and the mentalidad of the people.
It is not good to generalise, or create sterotypes, however on the whole the Galician people, apart from a terrible complex of personal envy, will not speak openly and honestly if the situation is somewhat ‘awkward’ They prefer to not cause scandal or personal conflicts, say “you are right”, and hope that the other person thinks well of them for their composure.
It’s hard to explain in words, but the expression “A gallego, if asked, doesn’t know if he is going up or coming down the stairs” (ie. he will not tell you openly).
I am here for my personal reasons, but you can be assured it is not indefinite.
