Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

    Spain

    The country of Sangrias, flamenco, Dali, Gaudi and bullfights. The country that Hemingway fell in love with. It's siestas, Moorish castles, rich landscapes and great paellas.

    Did anyone ever visit it? And if you did, please share your impressions or some useful information. If you haven't, perhaps you can post some highlights of its legendary history.

    My mom visited Spain last year. Good place, although I don't know much about topography or tourist destination or highlights, I will tell you that the Visigoths were there for roughly 300 years until conquered by the Moors, and then it took another 800 years for the Reconquista. Of course we can't forget Cervantes, Goya, Dali, Sorolla, Colombus, etc. Of course, when you visit Spain, you can see the influence of ethnogenesis. The southern part is more olive skinned reflecting the Arabic and mixed race influence, while when you travel further up north, people are more blonde or red haired, reflecting their Nordic-Germanic roots. You can see a similar pattern in Italy, where the more north you go you get blonder and more Germanic looking people since the Lombards occupied the north, while the south is more olive skinned.

      And there's that day where they throw tomatoes on each other...

      Loseyourname, by the way, could tell you about less flattering parts of Spanish history.

        Great info, thanks! Perhaps you can post some of your mom's impressions when you get a chance? It will be most hepful.

        Baron, thank you as well for your brief input. Tomatoes are my favorite fruit, I look forward to catching them with my mouth, for I find it a waste for tomatoes kissing the ground instead of my esophagus.

          Spains amazing. Barcelona can possibly be if not the greatest one of the greatest cities in the world. Madrid I didn't like as much, but San Sebastion and Barcelona are amazing. The people are so full of color, the city is just chaotic in the summer, everyones at the beaches, night and day, partying. Beautiful i mean beautiful architecture. Five HM stores. Oh and the women are basically the spanish version of LA women, enough said.

            spain is gorgeous.... absolutely.. & in every way.

            i spent a week in some part of spain somewhere near the cities of Alicante & Cartageņa.. quite a bit south of Valecia. i dont know exactly what the name of the place i was staying is... it wasnt a city at all. im not sure if it had a name!! lol

            i was there with my folks & one of the moments i remember most during that trip is i was laying on the sand at the beach with my mom. it was sunny & hot as f*ck that day. (like everyday.. it just rains for about 10-15 minutes every once in a while) i had a drink in my hand & there was bob marley music coming out of one of those huts made of palm leaves. i turned to my mom & said "this is the life.. this is beautiful..." i had to keep myself from following that up with "all we need now is a nice little doobe!"

            spain is great. the ppl are real nice. its just a nice place in general. the only thing that drove me nuts was the fact that it had been what felt like an eternity since i touched an instrument!! (i was in paris before) i ended up buying a spanish guitar from a music store in Cartageņa & named her Margarita that made the rest of our trip even more pleasant than it already was, we spent the next week jumping around between St-Raphael, Côte d'Azur (where we were staying) to places like Nice, Cannes, Marseille, also Milan, Monte-Carlo.. it was a great trip.

            Spain is fabulous. i would recommend it to anybody. i never really went to any cities, other than being in Barcelona for a coupla hours before heading off to where we were going. tho i didnt get a chance to really see anything there that didnt look like any other big city.

            Espaņa gets the thumbs up

                Royal Palace in Madrid.



                Plaza Mayor reminds me a little of our Hraparak



                Don't mind me, this thread is solely for my pleasure of posting beautiful pictures of Spain.
