Flight school, before you carry on drifting this topic towards something which does not interrest anybody here, I would like to give you a quick reply regarding your last post.
First of all, I think that pprune readers are not as stupid as you are describing them, and I guess they are mature enough to decide
by semselves which base (UK, Germany, Italy, France, Spain, etc...) would be the most suitable for them, rather than by only quoting me... or you
.
The aim of such a forum is to let everybody participate by expressing their own thoughs and personal convictions
. So, what I was trying to say was just that MAD base will obviously not be as big as STN or LGW. There will be much less destinations to fly to. Moreover, Madrid is not as multicultural as Barcelona or Valencia. It is also very cold in winter and to much warm in summer. It is of course a pretty city, but the housing and lifestyle are as bloody expensive as London (yeah, Spain doesn't use las pesetas anymore
) ! and Barrajas is less expensive but very, very ugly (and I have never heard anybody denying this fact).
Finaly, living abroad is not that easy (I know what I am saying). When you live abroad, you are not anymore this kind of
tourist that goes from time to time on holidays for a week or two...
When you live in a foreign country which by definition is not yours, you really have to adopt its culture, its language, its local people (not only the girls eh,!
)... If you fail to comply with those basic things, you will just saddly feel like "foreigner" and you wont be that happy.
Look at Beckam familly...in spite of their money, they just both feel better when they are back in UK
speak a few languages and spanish is def the easiest, at least to get a basic level,
It is what I wrote above ! the basic level, just keep it when you are a "tourist" on holidays, only !
