Spain’s pain
Tuesday, August 19th, 2008I’m trying not to follow the trend around me. I’m trying not to succumb to the dark side. I’m trying not to say bad things about Spain. But seriously, there are a lot of basic things that just fail to work here.
This morning, I tried transferring some money from my spanish account to my brother’s french account. Something that took literally 5 minutes in Switzerland.
Here, it took 2 people and 30 minutes to tell me that “it doesn’t work”. They asked me to leave my stuff here and come back at 14:00. They seemed genuinely surprised when I told them I couldn’t come here at 14:00 because, you know, I have to work.
So I’ll try again tomorrow morning. Oh, and the only reason why I don’t do it online is because their website doesn’t work either.
