The bureaucracy is insane, but mostly I was frustrated by the banks and fees, not really with the country.
I understand that! However, it is often times applied to the foreigner with much more vigor than to a known local.
This is true unfortunately, even when adapted to the culture, language, and everything a foreigner is always a foreigner.
You also have some advantages as a foreigner, you can feign ignorance at times and get away with it. It worked well for me many a time.
It also works when new at a job for a little while also!
Yes, but you really have to be careful on who you apply it to. I got whacked with a wooden sword for doing it to the wrong person. Ouch!!!!!!!!!
Hahaha yeah! I've escaped some cycling fines by answering the cops in English and as cops in Spain don't speak English at all, they usually let you go :D
When you are not a citizen of the country, everything is a difficulty. I wanted to buy a condo in Japan, but dealing with the real estate people was a nightmare. I don’t think they wanted to sell to a foreigner. I wound up renting an apartment. That was great, because the next year the Japanese real estate market crashed. I would have lost a boatload of money.
