Granada Experience

i've tried about 5 times to upload a few pictures but it aint working so i guess the photos have to wait...... just a few words from Granada, the place is awesome, and people here live in a totally different world to what I've been used to all my life.
Lets start with the basics:
Breakfast is as usual, but then lunch is at 3pm, and dinner at 9pm onwards. Shops open around 10am, close from 2-5pm, and reopen again from 5-8pm. Shopping here is a craze, the women here love to shop and there are queues everywhere, to try and even longer queues at the cashiers. Night life never stops, in Granada there are teterias (teahouses) which are a popular spot for a tranquil night, or of course, the usual bars or clubs. But you don't have to wait for nightfall to go to a bar. They are open all day, and always lively. In Granada, most bars serve tapas with a drink, so its a normality for people to go in for a few beers and fill up on tapas instead of paying for a full meal. Dog poo on the streets are everywhere, and lots of them smeared because people have stepped on them. People here have dogs, but nobody cleans up after their dogs. There will soon be subway lines in Granada, so as of now every freaking road is under construction. Pollution level in Granada on a scale from 1-10, with 1 being the least and 10 tragic, is 9.
Yup, thats about it for now. more updates soon!
