Bigger ≠ Better

In America we want our space for everything.  We want large tables when we go out to a restaurant, we want large houses, we want our personal space in a crowd, we don’t want people too close.  After I took the pictures of my flat I realized  how opposite I found it here.  We have a table for four and we seat eight.  Most families, young professionals, and newlyweds live in apartments.   If someone isn’t touching you during conversation you must have forgotten to shower.  Most importantly people want to know you,  where you’re from, what you do, and if you have a cigarette haha.  My challenge for the week is not to think of space as something that gives me freedom to move but allows someone closer to me.  I know it sounds obvious but I think it will be challenging.  That was an incredibly large tangent but I hope you enjoy the pictures of my piso (apartment).  I’m in love with it!  We have two bathrooms, not so common, and our kitchen was recently remodeled.  We live within five walking minutes to my favorite plaza so all in all it was a great choice!  My roommate is from Ibiza and such a bundle of delight to live with!  I’m sorry but I have tried multiple times to upload the photos and I’m having some technological challenge!  As soon as possible I will have them up! Adios!
Tu Boquerone (literally your anchovie but it's what the Malaga people call themselves) haha
