Best wishes from Spain
I am here for the third day, and I never EVER want to move back to that cold dried-up puddle we call Holland.
I´ve done my first job interview today, and guess what. A full hit. I start on monday for an ungodly high hour fee, especially compared to local wages, so to those that were afraid I would not make ends meet here, I can assure you, I am doing EXCELLENT.
My house is small but tidy, and I will start looking for something better (read: bigger) as soon as the tourist season ends. That way I can accomodate family if they come over. They would have to fall back on the hotel business now - I could not even house a flea, lol.
Will keep you informed about the funny things here because spaniards are a bit bonkers if you ask me. And don´t start me on the british folks that reside on the costa´s....
Anyway, twas good to tell you, and I´m glad I took my forum account along with me.
Bye for now,
Tom.

i believe a large proportion of investment in the southern spanish coastline has primarily orignated from ex-pats who have emigrated to live out their remaining years of existance.
Also,
The surge in hotels, villas and large stores around the southern section has been driven by the huge tourism market primarily driven by British and to a certain extend German vacationers.
I rest
my
case.
incidently
which town are you in or near?

Spain is a developing country. The roads are dusty.

I have some Spanish phrases for xtrasyn.
Hay un gay bar por aqui? - Is there a gay bar near here?
Hola, soy teh fag boy del Holland - Hello, I am the fag boy from Holland
Ich bin ein faggot - I am a faggot (i think that might be German but the Spaniards will know what you mean)
Donde estan los queers? - Where are the queers?
There you go dude, that should help your stay in Spain considerably

Why?
God sword again you are so damn funny I blew my funny fuse and can´t laugh.
**** you and I hope your wife is still stupid and ugly as ****.
As for the other nice people that were interested, thank you!
JJ, I am indeed in the full belief that this place (benalmadena costa) is like 80% british. It seems every one british old person chooses to be here rather than some elderly home in Sussex.
It isn´t good UK promotion though.
I was having difficulties sleeping the last three days because the Celtic fans have invaded (and thankfully they are leaving soon) - these people sing songs like Green hairs/upon my chest/celtic boys/we are the best- but then sung in a reaaaallly drunk voice. I hope I will forget that soon.
