* Siesta and Spanish biorhythm
Everybody likes to take a nap, especially during the work after the hours sitting in front of computer. Spanish do it every day. And a lot of them are really going to sleep, not just eat or rest. One of my friends even changes into pajama so the feeling of going to bed is more realistic.Even though we like the idea of sleeping during the day, I still think the siesta wouldn’t be the most appropriate habit for Slovenians. The working hours here are incredible and the social life during the week almost doesn’t exist. The normal job starts at 9 a.m. They work till 2 p.m. and then the siesta begins. It lasts till 5 p.m. and then they all start to work again till 8 or 9 p.m. depends on which sector your work in. That means that you come home only to sleep and eat. Forget about your family (this part I don’t understand – when do they see their children? Especially in Madrid, where it takes you an hour to come home and another hour to go back). At the time you really come home after the work is done, the day is almost over. It is true that Spanish days are longer then Slovenian, also because we start working at 7 or 8 a.m., so we go to bed earlier. Normally they go to sleep after midnight, so I guess the evening is the time that they spend with their family and weekends are for friends and fiesta!
My biorhythm here is still very Slovenian…which can be very annoying, especially when I go to the supermarket at 3 p.m. and it is closed! I better not be hungry from 2 – 5 p.m. :D

Hey, Janika!
I really, really like your blog, but I just can't understand how come this site always breaks down my net connection. Last time I had to wait half an hour to reestablish my whole computer - thanks a lot, girl! Oh, well, whatever, I'll survive. Siesta sounds like fun, but on the other hand I must agree it wouldn't work out for us hard-working Slovenians. Give us a free afternoon and half of the people will be back drunk or maybe never come back at all.
P.S. Ce ne bom dobila kaksnega prekrasnega bozicnega darila z bolsjega trga, pridem direkt v Madrid, te po nagi riti in domov k mami jokat. For all of you, who don't understand Slovenian language: I really miss you, come back quickly from Madrid, my mum misses you, too.
Ok, that's all for now! Warm hugs - one for you and one for Blaz! Bye!

Of course you will get your present. But under one condition...strah me je ka te mi vse spili do te kaj jaz priden domu, tak ka mi moreš malo prišparati!
