I've been using this new technology called: the sea. Every day I do 2-3km on my bicycle and then plunge into the fucking cold of the Atlantic. How much would you pay for that? Surely more than 1000€.
These beaches are shitty, though, as you can see from the pic. It's still a beach, sometimes I see hot chicks strolling around and in the sand, and I do it on company time, so I can't complain. But I'm hoping I'll get to go the Algarve during my vacations, and camp in a touristless spots
Sure, we southern Euros get paid like serfs, and to get an AC installed is not easy, but there are some perks.
