Para los que no puedan entrar, copio aquí todas las perlas que hay en la página:
1) You think adding lemonade, fanta or even coke to red wine is perfectly acceptable. Especially at lunch time.
2) You can't get over how early bars & clubs shut back home - surely they're shutting just as you should be going out?
3) You aren't just surprised that the plumber/decorator has turned up on time, you're surprised he turned up at all.
4) You've been part of a botellon.
5) You think it's fine to comment on everyone's appearance.
6) Not giving every new acquaintance dos besos seems so rude.
7) You're shocked by people getting their legs out at the first hint of sun - surely they should wait until at least late June?
On msn you sometimes type 'jajaja' instead of 'hahaha'
9) You think the precious aceite is a vital part of every meal. And don't understand how anyone could think olive oil on toast is weird.
10) You're amazed when TV ad breaks last less than half an hour, especially right before the end of films.
11) You forget to say please when asking for things - you implied it in your tone of voice, right?
12) You love the phenomenon of giving 'toques' - but hate explaining it in English
14) You don't see sunflower seeds as a healthy snack - they're just what all the cool kids eat.
15) You know what a pijo is and how to spot one.
16) Every sentence you speak contains at least one of these words: 'bueno,' 'coño,' 'vale,' 'venga,' 'pues nada'...

22) If anyone insults your mother, they better watch out...
23) You know how to change a bombona. And if you don't, you were either lazy or lucky enough to live somewhere nice.
24) You're either a Los Serrano person or an Aqui no hay quien viva person.
25) You don't accept beer that's anything less than ice-cold.
26) The fact that all the male (or female) members of a family have the same first name doesn't surprise you.
27) The sound of mopeds in the background is the soundtrack to your life.
28) You know that the mullet didn't just happen in the 80s. It is alive and well in Spain.
29) You know the differenc between cojones and cajones, tener calor and estar caliente, bacalao and bakalao, pollo and polla...and maybe you learned the differences the hard way!
30) On a Sunday morning, you have breakfast before going to bed, not after you get up.
31) You don't see anything wrong with having a couple of beers in the morning if you feel like it.
32) Floors in bars are an ideal dumping ground for your colillas, servilletas etc. Why use a bin?!
33) You see clapping as an art form, not just a way to express approval.

35) When you burst out laughing every time you see a Mitsubishi Pajero (thanks Stuart Line for reminding me of that one!)
36) You have friends named Jesus, Jose Maria, Maria Jose, Angel, maybe even Inmaculada Concepcion...
37) You know that 'ahora' doesn't really mean now. Hasta ahora, ahora vuelvo...etc
38)When you make arrangements to meet friends at 3, the first person turns up at 3.15...if you're lucky!
39) Central heating is most definitely a foreign concept. In winter, you just huddle around the heater under the table & pull the blanket up over your knees...and sleep with about 5 blankets on your bed!
40) Most women under 30 own a pair of those attractive 'Aladdin' style trousers with the crotch around the knees (you know what I mean!)
41) Aceite de oliva is 'muy sano', of course. So you help yourself to a bit more.
42)When women think that clear bra straps are in fact invisible.
43) When it's totally normal for every kitchen to have a deep-fat fryer but no kettle.
44) When you can recite with the Vodafone lady that your 'saldo está a punto de agotarse.'

#3:
La mayoría es verdad, y lo de que echamos aceite a todas las comidas es algo que a mi me lo han repetido en muchas partes del mundo. Siempre me dicen "cocina Española = aceite de oliva mas algo encima", lo que no saben es lo bueno que está.

"You know the differenc between cojones and cajones, tener calor and estar caliente, bacalao and bakalao, pollo and polla...and maybe you learned the differences the hard way!"
"When women think that clear bra straps are in fact invisible. "
Esto lo ha escrito una guiri ¿no?
#8:
Lo de que los bares es como una papelera gigante es verdad que siempre lo dicen. Todos los guiris que he conocido es lo primero que les llama la atención. Que en los bares todo se tire al suelo en lugar de a la papelera.
#2:
Todo lo que pone ahí es verdad. Somos raros de cojones.

You know you have been in Finland too long, when...

14. Your idea of unforgivable behavior now includes walking across the street when the light is red and there is no WALK symbol, even though there are no cars in sight.

16. Your bad mood becomes your good mood.
17. Sundays no longer seem dull with all the stores closed, and begin to feel restful instead.
18. "No comment" becomes a conversation strategy.
19. You finally stop asking your class "Are there any questions?"
20. The fact that all of the v's and the w's are together in the phone directory seems right.
21. Your old habit of being "Fashionably late" is no longer acceptable. You are always on time.

El meor comentario:
Has estado en España si...
-te partes de risa al ver un Mitsubishi Pajero
Lo peor:
Has estdo en España si ...
-no te sorprende que todos los miembros (masculinos o femeninos) de una familia se llamen igual
¿? (supongo que tendrá que ver con el Jose Maria y Maria Jose, digo yo)
"-cuando al pagar algo que cuesta 8′50 le dices al dependientes “¿quieres los 0′50?"
Este me ha hecho mucha gracia, en otros países he notado como miraban raro al darles el pico en monedas. Es mas cómodo para todos, no?
Hay otros con los que no me siento nada identificado. Cabezas de toro en los bares? Me sorprendería mucho entrar a un bar y que lo tuviese. Tirar las cosas al suelo en los bares lo he visto mucho en otras ciudades pero me sigue sorprendiendo. Ni tampoco suelo comer a las tantas... quizá soy un raro dentro de los raros
Lo de los nombres repetidos pasa en muchos países, eso si lo de la impuntualidad si es un hecho.
#9, pues no vayas a Canarias, aquí tampoco se hace... Es una de las cosas que me resulta "rara" de la península, la primera vez que lo vi me quede extrañado, pensé que eran un poco guarretes
Tienen razón en lo de : sabes que la mayoria de las mujeres españolas tiene en su armario uno de esos pantalones estilo “Aladín”, que llegan solo hasta las rodillas.
#24 No hombre, imagino que se referirá a la costumbre de ponerle al primogénito el nombre del padre (y, con menos frecuencia, a la primera hija el nombre de la madre).
Muy buena la lista. Como dicen por ahí, nos han calado
Eso de que si quedas con alguien a las 3 y llega a las 3 y cuarto te sientes afortunado...
Si quedo con alguna amiga a las 3 y llega antes de las 6 me acojono... no puede ser bueno que lleguen "tan pronto"
Precisamente lo de los nombres... aquí está todo muy diferenciado. Imagino que se deben referir a José-Josefa, Paco-Paca (aunque sea feo).... Pero siguen siendo DIFERENTES.
Cuando convives con extranjeros, daneses, holandeses, belgas, ingleses, etc te das cuenta de que al principio la mayoria piensa igual sobre nuestro pais, pero luego se adaptan y son como uno más incluso se de más de una que sabe de cocina andalusí más que nadie, verdad Judith (de alemania)
me llamo Juan, mi padre Juan, mi abuelo paterno Juan y para masss un tio por parte de madre: Juan. Y no es coña!
Pero no se de donde se sacara esas ideas...
Y por cierto, no estoy de acuerdo con lo de las dos cervezas por la mañana, eso seran mas bien los inglesitos, alemanes, checos... que le dan a la birra cosa fina! y si no acercaros por la costa española a ver que beben. De tooo menos agua.
Tiene toda la razón en todo. Pero habría que leer lo de otros paises. En lo que respecta a España y mi experiencia es que tenemos de las mejores, y no solo más guapas sino menos zorras (que no mojigatas)

Di que si, y muy orgullosos de nuestra forma de ser, los que alucinan son ellos.
Es todo cierto menos lo de la cabeza de toro como decoración, yo he visto muy pocas y cuando veo una flipo de la grima.
Que bueno, hace tiempo leí uno bastante bueno también pero sobre finlandia:

Hay una muy buena que dice:
En toda cocina española hay un cacharrito para recoger y volver a usar el aceite.
#17 Sí, una que se llamaba "rubia"
#2 De eso nada, los raros son ellos.
Pues la verdad es que lo bordan
Como la vida misma
Por que se llamara ahora el mitsubishi montero y no pajero!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ains
El meor comentario:
Has estado en España si...
-te partes de risa al ver un Mitsubishi Pajero
Lo peor:
Has estdo en España si ...
-no te sorprende que todos los miembros (masculinos o femeninos) de una familia se llamen igual
¿? (supongo que tendrá que ver con el Jose Maria y Maria Jose, digo yo)
#38 Claro, es que si no no sería una moda, no?
La verdad es que llevan razon casi en todo, esas cosas una vez fuera no las encuentras.
Claro, que esto se puede hacer de cada pais...
Me he sentido muy identificado con
los domingos por la mañana desayunas antes de acostarte, y no cuando te levantas
Muy Bueno!
tener calor and estar caliente... yes baby.
-no te sorprende que todos los miembros (masculinos o femeninos) de una familia se llamen igual:
Bush
Hay varias versiones de este chiste esta es una que he encontrado googleando y que puede servir

La mejor.

"-cuando al pagar algo que cuesta 8′50 le dices al dependientes “¿quieres los 0′50?"
Este me ha hecho mucha gracia, en otros países he notado como miraban raro al darles el pico en monedas. Es mas cómodo para todos, no?
Hay otros con los que no me siento nada identificado. Cabezas de toro en los bares? Me sorprendería mucho entrar a un bar y que lo tuviese. Tirar las cosas al suelo en los bares lo he visto mucho en otras ciudades pero me sigue sorprendiendo. Ni tampoco suelo comer a las tantas... quizá soy un raro dentro de los raros
Lo de los nombres repetidos pasa en muchos países, eso si lo de la impuntualidad si es un hecho.
Curiosa lista, para cuando una con los tópicos de la vida en Francia, Inglaterra, etc? Creo que podría ser interesante la comparación.
Muy divertido y además hace pensar
#0 Si la lista te parece llena de tópicos entonces no sé de que país eres pero al menos no de España, porque la gran mayoría son absolutamente reales.
#9, pues no vayas a Canarias, aquí tampoco se hace... Es una de las cosas que me resulta "rara" de la península, la primera vez que lo vi me quede extrañado, pensé que eran un poco guarretes
#29 te gano por uno. Compartimos nombre en mi familia:
Yo, mi padre, mi abuelo materno, mi tio y mi primo. La verdad es que odio a mi padre un poco por ello
Lo de los boquerones me ha marcado
Tienen razón en lo de : sabes que la mayoria de las mujeres españolas tiene en su armario uno de esos pantalones estilo “Aladín”, que llegan solo hasta las rodillas.
Valla moda, todas las mujeres con lo mismo.
#15 Pues eso dice el tópico, que nos sorprendemos de que a los primeros rayos de sol la gente vaya ligera de ropa, en vez de esperar a que haga calor.
Y es verdad, sobre todo rusos, ucranianos y de países similares, son capaces de ir sin camiseta en diciembre a poco que haga un poco de sol
#24 No hombre, imagino que se referirá a la costumbre de ponerle al primogénito el nombre del padre (y, con menos frecuencia, a la primera hija el nombre de la madre).
Muy buena la lista. Como dicen por ahí, nos han calado
Qué buenas!
Genial y real
Eso de que si quedas con alguien a las 3 y llega a las 3 y cuarto te sientes afortunado...
Si quedo con alguna amiga a las 3 y llega antes de las 6 me acojono... no puede ser bueno que lleguen "tan pronto"
Precisamente lo de los nombres... aquí está todo muy diferenciado. Imagino que se deben referir a José-Josefa, Paco-Paca (aunque sea feo).... Pero siguen siendo DIFERENTES.
Cuando convives con extranjeros, daneses, holandeses, belgas, ingleses, etc te das cuenta de que al principio la mayoria piensa igual sobre nuestro pais, pero luego se adaptan y son como uno más incluso se de más de una que sabe de cocina andalusí más que nadie, verdad Judith (de alemania)
Genial el articulo.
jejeje
me llamo Juan, mi padre Juan, mi abuelo paterno Juan y para masss un tio por parte de madre: Juan. Y no es coña!
Pero no se de donde se sacara esas ideas...
Y por cierto, no estoy de acuerdo con lo de las dos cervezas por la mañana, eso seran mas bien los inglesitos, alemanes, checos... que le dan a la birra cosa fina! y si no acercaros por la costa española a ver que beben. De tooo menos agua.
#12 Pues si vieras la que tiene el panadero de mi mercado encima de su puesto fliparias mas.
Nos han 'calaó' los guiris estos
que verdad cuando dice, te asombras cuando los anuncios de television duran menos de media hora?a dado en el clavo
No sé qué tienen contra el kalimotxo los guiris. En alemania beben cerveza con coca-cola y por aquí cualquiera diría que es una guarrada.
Tiene toda la razón en todo. Pero habría que leer lo de otros paises. En lo que respecta a España y mi experiencia es que tenemos de las mejores, y no solo más guapas sino menos zorras (que no mojigatas)
Vergüenza ajena me da. Pero de los españoles que creen que eso va en serio. Dios...
