no longer....

Some products impossible to find at stores.....and some stores that are no longer the same or don't even exist.

• Continente (among others, such as Pryca) became carrefour.

I kept a packet of odd paper: 63 g! It's even hard to find 70 g paper...

• Caprabo merged (sort of) with eroski and became caprabo amb eroski oder eroski.

I liked seeing the names and information about the products in catalan (well, Bonpreu supermarkets do so)...but seeing names and texts on products in basque, galician, spanish and catalan is interesting and one can learn some basic daily-life vocabulary.

아 ~, 진싸!!!

Really....these are scary times....What have people done to deserve such a govenrment?? Finally, yesterday there was a reaction to the situation, I mean, a real reaction, since the measures since then had been rather random and uneffective. However, such measures aren't the best at all...and it feels that they're taken too late, under pressure and rushing. Other parties had been saying to do changes and adopt certain policies for a long time but that useless politician the citizens have to suffer as head of the executive, was too stubborn and childish to accept them, to admit the situation was bad. It's never been a sign of intelligence to cover one's ears so as to ignore suggestions. It felt like "since it's x, who is bad, the enemy, who makes the suggestion, it's a bad suggestion and I'm going to ignore it". It's healthy and enriching to listen to different and even contrary opinions or to thoughts from those who think differently and then think about it.

아, 진싸...

The time when the ruling party boastfully talked about protecting the worker and avoiding cuts in social expenditure is not far away. The time when they boastfully called themselves socialist is neither far away from now....Worker's party? socialist party? Just seeing their salaries, the way they dress and the way they act places them far away from such adjectives...And how they love to waste money on useless things and trips....and how they love to appear smiling at some meetings and photographs.

Really.....there's a lot to say, a lot to be fed up with and too much to feel just too disappointed. Fortunately I didn't vote for them but for a party who got no representation in the Parliament.

Really....it's still too long until the next general election.
