Comedores Viajeros

Callejeros Viajeros is a very popular program in Spain. It relates the adventures of some Spanish people (I call them the "Jamones") around the world, fuera de Espana. I have not seen the episode in Singapore, but my girlfriend Bea sent me the link this morning. I don't think I am going to see it, I'd rather 1- keep the mystery 2- not scare the crap out of me as I have heard already pretty sick stories about the law and strict rules in Singapore. No, thank you, I will learn the hard way (around $1,000 fine per lesson).


Freeze! Drop the Chewing Gum on the table!


Anyway, I know already what's in this video, it is always the same; but it is really funny if you know Spanish people, I mean Jamones. This is my guess of what is in this video:

- People will compare the food in Singapore to the food in Spain, they will probably say: very strange, very good, but there is no jamon pata negra ("solo falta jamon")

- A posh woman of expat will do some touristic tour guide, throwing some cultural facts at the face of the whole nation. Let me clarify: this woman didn't know any of that before she was picked by la Cuatro.

- Fiesta: at some point and with some freaky jamon dude, we'll be in some night club in the top of a skyscraper. We'll meet his friends and we'll see "asian tapas girls" dancing around the camera. The guy will say something like "la verdad es que se vive MUY bien aqui".

- An Expat with his Asian girlfriend/wife. She will probably say "hola que tal" and that's all she knows in Spanish.

- People will talk more about food. Food is 50% of the Spaniard brain, the other half is Barca or Madrid.
