The title is obviously suppose to be ironic. Since arriving here the most underused words I have heard are gracious and de nada. It is tough to go out at night without getting harassed by the strangest and otherwise most worthless people. I love this city and I love walking through it because there is never a time when I don't notice something new. I just wish that there were not so many people out on the streets ruining an otherwise amazing experience. The other day at 1 in the afternoon I saw a drunk man going to the bathroom right in the middle of placa de catalunya. I was rather sheltered from city life before I came here and I knew I would be rather overwhelmed at first, but this city seems to have more then a few problems with its street activity, especially at night. To end it on a positive note though, today I watched a man in a wheelchair get helped over a doorstop by a random stranger walking down the street. It was one of the first kind deeds I had seen since arriving here and it made me a little more optimistic that there are some nice people in this city.
