YOU KNOW YOU'VE BECOME A LOCAL IN SPAIN WHEN...

You know you've become a local when you...

    ...trip over and you swear to yourself in Spanish.
    ...know a word in Spanish but you can't remember the English word.
    ...go a week without speaking English.
    ...don't change the language on your mobile to English.
    ...are asked for directions by Spaniards, you know how to get to the place they're looking for and you can tell them in Spanish.
    ...go to the court alone for your divorce.
    ...meet someone for a date at 10.30 pm.
    ...go out on a date and two female friends of the Spanish woman tag along for the first two or three hours.
    ...are the only foreigner in a singles club for golden oldies with 150 members.
    ...go out with a group from the singles club when it closes at midnight and get home at 5 am.
    ...pay for Spanish cable television.
    ...understand the jokes told by stand-up comics on television.
    ...buy Spanish newspapers in preference to English ones.
    ...are told by Spaniards that you're medio boquerón (half malagueño).

If I think of more I'll do another post.

Maybe Spaniards don't get divorced as much as in some countries, but I've been out with plenty of women who are divorced.
