>it's only a repayment to how they help me growing up, even though admittedly it has slowed down some of my plans.
oh well, I thought it was because of compromise. Then, that´s a nice gesture from your part.

>even a good vacation, is a drain on me. I think I get it.
it is indeed a drain but when you have to indicate the driver where to go and how to take the roads constantly, advising like a rally copilot, it gets even more tiring. Now, we have recovered ourselves during these last 2 or 3 days, so we are back on track.

>I am no expert on the region, my bet is that all your neighbors are either poorer or less laid back or both . Not an insult to them, but I think I get the gist of the feeling.
you have nailed the first aspect, they are indeed poorer save the Lisbon zone. Less laid back...it depends, more like they are more money-grabber and have a very flawed toll system. Comparing it to Spain is cheating because my country has taken a lot of care for decades in that aspect (which surprises me because the coast was the only touristic zone and over time, they have managed to make other cities attractive for varied reasons including the capitol city).
So yeah, I have that gist because it´s not as tourist friendly in the north zone as we expected (Aveiro is an exception though, it´s like the Portuguese Venice, that place is nice).

>What better way to break the final century than an anime comeback?
with the top 10 anime sequels. That would break the whole scheme.
