the country is not so beautifull, there is a lot of rocks and "dry deserts", France is more beautifull but the spanishes and the weather are great and it's cheaper than France.
soy de Colombia, pero tambien se da en mi pais jajaja creo que esta en la sangre por historia, y realmente siempre que puedo, es algo que se da, en mi casa, todos se acuestan y si alguien hace ruido en esos 40 minutos o 1 hora se enojan, es un tema interesante.

Luego mis estudiantes piensan que dormimos en el trabajo.... Hay que especificar que no es diferente a nap. No una tradición diaria, a no ser que estés jubilado, estudiante, o de vacaciones.
The Siesta tradition is good in Mexico 🇲🇽 during the heat of the day. That's why this cultural practice produces a culture not so brusk and in a hurry. This same culture is also heavily influenced in Southern Arizona Tucson.
"You are bitter with your existence" 😂😂
Igual en mi familia en México se da, sobre todo previo o después de comer para reponerse de una jornada laboral pesada, en lo personal no la tomo porque luego no concilio el sueño en la noche pero si se que es común

Foreigners and refugees are 2 completly differents things. And the answers will depend of where the question is asked. In Madrid there is not many africans or foreigners making troubles but in Barcelona the africans are making the city dirty and dangerous so the people will probably want them much less. Foreigners with legal papers are probably welcomed, refugees if they are not to many probably as well but the thing is that those days everyone everyone outside of europe is a refugees and all the shit of the world is comming in europe and it make big problems.

That's an interesting idea :-) May I know why? Is it because you want to learn spanish? Is it because it's harder to understand if they're in english? I just want to understand. We thought most people watching these videos would come from english-speaking countries. That's why we translated it to english. But if there's demand for Spanish... sure, why not!?

no es exactamente tiempo perdido, porque si no duermes estas cansado y no eres productivo estas como un vago estas despierto pero no haces nada o muy poco y esto si es perder tiempo. Mientras que si haces siesta lluego tienes energia para terminar el dia.
As a Latin American men 1 or 1 1/2 hours have a nice music in the background
Siempre cuando estoy en España duermo la siesta de 30 minutos. En mi pais no.

In France we have a 1 to 2h break at 12 so you have time to eat and sleep a little. When i was working in Vancouver Canada we had only 30min to eat at 12 so impossible to take a nap. In Spain it's like in France but at 2pm and in Spain many stores are close in the afternoon because of the hot weather so the people working in them have to take a nap because then the stores reaopen late up to like 11pm so if you start at 8am and finish at 11pm you better take a nap at your break in the afternoon.
I have a 2 hour siesta everyday🍷👍
Como lo hacen para dormir en horario laboral se van a sus casas?

yo en Francia segun el trabajo que tengo, tengo 1 o 2h entre 12 y 14h asi que como en 30min y lluego me voy a dormir en mi coche. Cuando trabajaba en Madrid solo tenia 30min para comer asi que solo comia no podia dormir. Depende del trabajo y de cuanto tiempo libre tienes al medio dia. La gente que trabaja en las tiendas en verano tienen mucho tiempo libre en la tarde porque las tiendas son ceradas toda la tarde y lluego vuelven a abrir por la noche. En Francia las tiendas son abierta todo el dia pero lluego cieran mas temprano, en Francia no te puedes comprar zapatos a las 20h en Espana si.

Hay trabajos en los que se para a la una y media y luego vuelven a las cuatro y media. Las tiendas, no supermercados, casi todas tienen un horario así. Yo cuando paraba de una a dos para comer, también me daba tiempo. Comía en 15 minutos y 45 de siesta, que me pegaba en el vestuario de la nave donde trabajaba.
sde q acabas de comer hasta amtes de cenar...por ahi anda....
